We got married on Sunday at TAP and honestly, it makes me emotional even trying to find the words. Angie and her team are honestly amazing. The venue, the house, the grounds, the marquee - everything was just perfect. Nothing was too much trouble - we had some issues with the weather but the team carried the stress without letting me know. Angie was like my comfort blanket and I really appreciated that throughout the day. The owner Paul, is also fantastic. Thank you for letting us have our wedding at TAP. I cannot believe it is all over but we had the best day - it was exactly what I dreamt of. The suppliers are a credit to the venue too - we used mostl

100% and whole heartedly recommend That Amazing Place as a venue to celebrate your special day. Had my wedding here on 8th August and from the very 1st visit in February and meeting Angie, everything was done as easy as can be when organising a wedding. Angie has been responsive, helpful and clear with all details and costs. Helping me and my partner execute our vision for the day, to ensuring the day ran like clockwork. The guests were all treated amazingly, drinks flowed and all the rooms were ready. Angie ensured all the suppliers - decorator, DJ, caterers had everything they needed. The bridal suite was ready for our arrival and everything we needed was available, including a fan given the heat!! We rented the house overnight also and all guests were comfortable not a single moan. The breakfast the next day was perfect. Would not hesitate at all

That Amazing Place is very local to us, we walk past with our dogs most days and always thought it looked stunning! The moment we walked in to That Amazing Place to meet Angie and have a look around, we knew it was where we wanted to get married…. as we sat down our song was playing! From the moment we said yes, everything ran so smoothly. Angie is so personable, no question we asked was silly, she suggested ideas which worked with decorations, food and the flow of the day. We chose the twilight ceremony and as it was a winter wedding had walk around bowl food, Lizzy at Magpie Catering - delicious! So many lovely comments! The day itself was perfect! Everything went to plan and so smoothly (if it didn’t we have no idea!! Haha!) The decoration was perfect, the ceremony, the food,

Our experience at That Amazing Place truly lived up to its name from start to finish. From the moment we attended the open day, we knew straight away that it was the perfect venue for our wedding. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with beautiful surroundings and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. Angie and the entire team were exceptional throughout the whole process. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was thought of and nothing was too much trouble. Any questions or requests we had were dealt with quickly and professionally, which made the planning process so much less stressful. On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy every moment. We also chose Magpie Catering, their recommended catering company, and they were fantastic. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the service was excellent throughout the day and evening. So many of our guests commented on how great the food was, as well as how well organised everything felt. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how special the whole day felt. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to Angie and the entire team for he

What an Amazing Place indeed… and what Amazing People. Angie helped to make the planning and the day stress free and a wonderful experience. We had a September wedding in the main house with 80 day guests and over 120 in the evening. Full use of the house and bedrooms made it feel like home. The guests said how great it was to start in the bar area with its cosy sofas and our acoustic guitarist singer (Marc Oliver). A quick pre wedding drink and some light snacks got them off to a good start. Then into the lake view room for the ceremony which was stunning. From there to canapés and more music enjoying the late September sunshine whilst eating and drinking reception drinks. Next entering the dining room which looked so romantic to a welcome shot which they kindly allowed us to bring with a gorgeous main meal and dessert (Lizzie from Magpie Catering) with wine flowing and speeches with Prosecco … the drinks package is extremely generous and I would recommend. After that back to the main house for the evening party. We managed to fit in a DJ (Andy from Herts Events) and a 4 piece band (The Dukes) … the dance floor was full from the beginning to the end. More food which I didn’t see as I was to busy dancing but I am told was superb. We were looked after like royalty by Angie and her team until about 10.30. And then Paul (the owner) took over and we felt like his family. Such a brilliant day. It could not have g

I honestly don’t even know where to begin – our wedding at this venue was everything we could have ever hoped for and more. From the moment we first visited, we were completely blown away by the beauty of the grounds. They are absolutely stunning – the perfect backdrop for our special day, and every corner felt like it was made for magical memories and gorgeous photos. What truly made the experience exceptional was the team – especially our incredible coordinators, Angie and Louise. These two are absolute stars. From day one, they were so warm, organised, and genuinely passionate about making our day as perfect as possible. No question was too small, no idea too big – they gave me complete freedom to dream and helped bring every detail to life even better than I imagined. The entire staff were just as amazing – so friendly, helpful, and attentive. Every single person went above and beyond, not just for us but for our guests too. You could really feel how much they cared, and it made the whole experience feel so personal and joyful. The owner was also absolutely lovely – welcoming, kind, and clearly proud of the beautiful venue they’ve created. That personal touch made such a difference and made us feel truly special. And the food? Incredible. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and we had endless compliments from our guests. If you’re considering this venue – stop searching. This is the one. We genuinely couldn’t recommend it highly enough and will be forever grateful to Angie, Louise, and the entire tea

From the moment we viewed the venue we were blown away, not only by the venue but the people, the grounds and the owners. Everything on the day was perfect. Angie and Louise were exceptional, they were there all day long working on providing us with the most special day and they did. They went above and beyond, nothing was too much hassle for them and we are forever grateful. The owner Paul was also on hand to help out with anything that we needed. I couldn’t recommend that amazing place more. If you

We recently had our wedding here and it was an unforgettable day! Paul, the owner of TAP himself, was very involved and so accommodating and the grounds are absolutely breathtaking. With so many amazing photo opportunities. Out guests have absolutely raved about it since the day! The only thing I need mention is that if you’re not a dog person there are loads of the furry fellas roaming the grounds…and one roamed a little too close and walked over the train of my wife’s wedding dress seconds before she walked down the aisle 🤣 no harm done in the end though! In particular a MASSIVE mention to Louise our coordinator, she was so helpful and kind. From the build up to and on the day of she made the whole event a well oiled machine. She and the team were so kind and helpful to all of our guests throughout the night and everyone noted it to us. Thank you to TAP, we had the best day of our lives and it’s because of each one of you!
