From the moment we first met Bryonie and the Holywell Estate team, we knew we had found the perfect partnership. Our dream was to have an outdoors wedding and the Walled Garden was the perfect setting. It was a

Bryonie made us feel truly welcome, allowing us to meet suppliers at Holywell and visit the estate as often as we needed, she also allowed us to use a room in the family home for meetings with suppliers when the weather was bad. I don’t think there is any other venue out there that can make your special day this personal. This place couldn’t be further from the conveyor belt wedding venues around. The whole experience of planning and getting married at Holywell has been magnificent, I couldn’t imagine it would have turned out as perfect as it did. The whole day ran seamlessly thanks to Bryonie and her team who were there from start to finish to help make sure everything was sorted. Nothing was too much trouble, we were allowed to forage the woods on the Estate for ivy and greenery to decorate the tipi and had someone on hand all day to light all our candles when it got dark and monitor the fire. At the end of the night when it started to rain Bryonie and her team were there with umbrellas to walk our guests from the Tipi to the taxis. It’s difficult to put in to words how much we appreciated everything the Holywell team/family did for us especially Bryonie and to top it off we received a beautiful wedding gift and were allowed to take home a foraged tree stump use

Thank you so much for everything! You were extremely helpful and the whole day exceeded our expectations. Holywell Estate is beautiful and all of our guests commented on how stunning the grounds are and that they had never been to a wedding like ours before. Bryonie you were fantastic in recommending and accommodating the different suppliers, answering all of our queries, and providing us with advice and guidance throughout the planning. Please thank Michael for all his hard work in setting up and running the bar, he did a fantastic job. And please thank the rest of your team for helping set up and guide the guests through the venue. I wish you all the best in future weddings and events at Holywell, it truly is a wonderful venue. Furthermore, the greatest commendation goes to you, Bryonie, and your team for going above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect, it really was the best day of our lives.
