We wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding day so special. The staff were incredibly helpful throughout, going above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Holly, in particular, was amazing — her attention to detail and warmth made such a difference, and we’re so grateful for everything she did. The food was fantastic, and the disco had everyone up and dancing all night. All of our guests said what a wo

We had our wedding reception at St Leonards on the 23rd August, and cannot speak highly enough of Holly and Jodie, who made our day absolutely perfect. From initially getting in touch Holly was professional, helpful and friendly. In our initial meeting she was so accommodating, understanding and caring in the effort that she put into the planning the day with us, and that continued until the wedding was done. We had multiple rooms booked for our wedding party and they were lovely, with comfy beds and well presented. We ate in the restaurant the night before and morning after the wedding and all of our food was delicious, with the staff being brilliant. On the day itself, Jodie and Holly were absolutely incredible. The room was stunning, set out so very beautifully and the attention to detail was brilliant. The barbecue wedding breakfast was delicious, with Jodie escorting my mum all the way round to assist her which meant a lot to her and me. They were on top of everything, all of the guests loved them and how kind and professional they were. They worked their socks off for us the entire day and we are so very grateful for everything that they both did. Thank you so, so much Holly and Jodie, you made our day unforgettable and we will al

Best wedding ever, but then we would say that wouldn't we! LOL. Seriously though, I've been to many many weddings for my work and some are posher (some too posh tbh) and some have nicer grounds. But for us it was all about the experience and having most of our family and friends with us for our special day. Did everything run to time? Definitely not; but we wouldn't have had it any other way! Was the weather good to us? Definitely not, but we hardly noticed, as planned for it. Staff at St Leonards are lovely and very helpful. Having said that, they could have done with more staff working on the day, as the reception food was rather slow in coming out. Room was dressed nicely and the food was really good, and excellent value for money too compared to town centre hotels and posher out of town venues. I'
