From the moment we first visited Quendon, we knew it was something special – and our wedding day proved it to be nothing short of perfect. The venue itself is breathtaking, with stunning grounds, elegant interiors, and a romantic atmosphere that gave us everything we’d ever dreamed of. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful it was, from the sweeping drive up to the house to the magical setting inside. What truly made the experience unforgettable, however, was Matthew, our wedding coordinator. From start to finish, he was exceptional – professional, calm, and incredibly attentive to every detail. He took the time to listen to what we wanted, reassured us whenever the planning felt overwhelming, and on the day itself he made sure everything ran seamlessly behind the scenes. Thanks to Matthew, we were able to relax and just enjoy every moment knowing everything was in safe hands. We honestly couldn’t recommend Quendon enough – not only is it a breathtaking venue, but with Matthew’s guidan

Thank you so much to Charlotte and the rest of the brilliant team at Parklands Quendon Hall for an absolutely wonderful day and wedding-planning journey! The venue is so beautiful and we had so many compliments on and after our big day. A few particularly great touches were having the South Lodge the night before the wedding for the bridal party to stay in, the very generously-sized bridal suite and very cool groom suite for wedding morning prep, being chauffeured in a lovely black taxi to the Honeymoon Cottage with a pre-run bubble bath, a personalised hand-written card and a bottle of bubbly to go back to once the party was over, then waking up with a stunning view of the deer park, and having so many of our family & friends be able to stay in the Manor and cottages and enjoy a delicious group breakfast with us the following morning. It's also worth noting that all dietary requirements were met and certain meal changes made as necessary for guests, which was especially important to me as someone with multiple allergies, to feel reassured in what I was eating and that everyone else could feel safe too. It was great to have all our wedding info (guests, table plans, food & drink choices, invoices, etc.) on their Sonas portable so that all our admin was easy to view and manage. The 30-degree heat didn't stop us from having the best time, and the Pavilion having amazing air con for the evening was very welcome after a glorious but very hot Fountain ceremony & Band Stand lawn games reception! We felt at ease with the team taking control and working alongside our other suppliers (particularly our brilliant Toastmaster Jango) on the day,

Parklands, i cant tell you how much i miss you already!!! Can i please state on this review, just how much i have enjoyed the process of weddings because of this wedding venue. I don't think i could have coped without Natalie, Ellie, Lauren and so many more of you. Your hard work is so greatly appreciated. Myself & my husband are not the big event planning kind, and although my mother in law helped me massively, without YOU i have no idea how the wedding would have turned out lol!! From the finest detail to the very end of the wedding event you held my hand. You made me feel comfortable to ask all the silly questions i had and you provided the answers and more. I just want to thank Natalie especially, as she really and truly caught my attention with her hard work and passion for what she does. If i could give her a 5 star rating right now i would give her 10. Not to mention how well staffed the venue was on the wedding day, I cant fault a single member of staff as i had compliments from all over

Parklands was the most amazing wedding venue. From the moment we booked two years ago their communication has been great and everyone is so friendly and willing to help. Our day went so smoothly due to our great wedding co-ordinator Charlotte and they ensured to cater for everything we wanted to include in our wedding day! I also loved the little touches they did for us as bride and groom such as making sure we had canapés! So many guests comme

We was absolutely blown away by the kindness and professionalism of all of the staff at Quendon Hall, they went above and beyond for us. A fair few of our guests had allergies and they was spot on with it all. Every single one of our guests were impressed with the whole day and said how amazing the f

The team at Parklands were brilliant right from our first enquiries, through to the coordination on the day. The food was incredible - our guests were really happy with the canapés, the 3 course meal and the evening food. We had our cerem

Our wedding took place in May 22 and the venue was lovely and the event manager made our special day run really well. Improvements could be made to the advance planning and communications though, with the organisation sometimes feeling disjointed. The staff are

I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you to you and all the team for making our day on Saturday so special. Everything was so easy and I didn’t have to worry about anything as I knew you had it all under control and it would all be done!!! Thank goodness the wedding was last week as it all seems to have gone a bit mad, so hoping it’s not affected too many of your weddings. I will send some photos across when we get the professional ones. Thanks again, yours and teams work made our day just perfect.
