The Talbot, Ripley

After viewing multiple venues looking for that rustic vibe with lots of character when we entered the Talbot Inn we were finally greeted with a location that had everything we needed in one place with a realistic value for money. We were sold on the beautiful details of the barn and the main building and overjoyed that we wouldn't have to cart our families around to multiple locations in order to provide a ceremony, reception and accommodation. The cherry on top of the cake (pun intended) was having Krystyna help us throughout the whole process from start to finish. Funnily enough we had never planned a wedding before and so having someone that talked us through the process giving us prompts along the way made the entire experience so much easier, she listened to our ideas and went above and beyond to make it all happen without making us feel like we were asking for too much. I would like to think The Talbot know what a gem they have in Krystyna and anyone else considering u

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding at The Talbot, Ripley. The whole day ran so smoothly and was completely stress-free. The team were fantastic, with great communication in the lead-up and staff who clearly knew exactly what they were doing. The food and drinks were lovely, and everything was exactly h

If you are looking for somewhere to host your special day, we couldn’t recommend The Talbot highly enough. From the moment of booking right through to the cutting of the cake and first dance, Krystyna, Arvind, Olivia and all the other members of the team are absolutely phenomenal. They genuinely think of every last detail and ensure that you really can leave everything in their hands. We really loved how they got to know us as a couple and made changes to the day to suit our needs. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful with multiple different spaces to use across the course of the day. All of our guests were blown away by t

My husband and I got married at the Talbot and from the open day to the menu tasting and then our big day everything was smooth and perfect! Krystyna is such a warm, helpful and organised person we immediately fell in love with her personality and the beautiful venue! Unbelievable value for money! All our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was! I wish I could redo it all again! We did our own decor, the photos speak for themselves! Some chair sashes and a floral hoop did the job as well as table Center pieces of course and it rained

We got married at The Talbot in March 2026 and were delighted we picked this venue. It was stunning. We were told by many guests how beautiful the venue was. The day went very smoothly, in no small part to Krystyna who was brilliant from the moment we met her at the venue’s wedding fair all the way until the day after. She calmed us down on many occasion, walked us through the timings on the day and these were stuck to. She was one of the reasons we chose the venue. We used a lot of su

We got engaged in February and always knew we wanted to marry on the same date as our anniversary. Due to a few other factors, we decided we didn’t want to wait and set our hearts on July 2025. Yes, we gave ourselves five months to plan a wedding. We viewed a couple of venues, and The Talbot was the second one we visited, but from the moment we arrived, it felt different. On the day we met Krystyna, I had honestly had one of the worst days and wasn’t in the head space to think about wedding planning at all. Within minutes, she completely turned that around. She has such a calm, reassuring presence and seemed to understand us as a couple almost instantly. As two middle children who aren’t used to being in the spotlight, it felt very strange focusing on what we wanted. Krystyna made that feel natural and comfortable. She was gentle, supportive, and quietly confident in guiding us, never pushy, always reassuring. She made everything feel possible and manageable, which meant more to us than she probably realises. We had our ceremony in the Barns and our wedding breakfast in Emma’s Lounge, with 20 of our closest family and friends. The spaces were absolutely beautiful and perfectly suited to an intimate celebration. The atmosphere was warm, romantic, and relaxed, exactly what we had hoped for. Krystyna let us know ahead of time that a new menu would be available, and there was so much to choose from. We’re so grateful we decided to stay the night before, as I was able to try both of our menu choices and the food was incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. Our guests commented on how amazing everything was, and we were especially impressed with how thoughtfully the team catered for our gluten-free and vegan guests. Everyone felt included and well looked after, which was so important to us. The staff on the day were outstanding. Every single person was attentive, kind, and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. They made our guests feel welcome from the moment they arrived and ensured everything ran so smoothly. Because of them, we were able to fully relax and soak up every moment without worrying about a thing. Krystyna, thank you for everything you did for us. You were so caring and graceful in the way you looked after us throughout the whole process. We truly felt supported every step of the way. We wish you all the very best any couple would be so lucky to have you by their side. Choosing The Talbot was

The Talbot was just a fantastic venue for our wedding on the 17th May this year. It was the only venue we viewed and when we met Krystyna we just knew it was the place for us. You won't meet another wedding and event planner like Krystyna, she is extremely experienced, personable and I felt like I had known her for ages. Krystyna and the Talbot were so flexible with our requests, and also had some great ideas and suggestions for our special day, as well as recommended suppliers that know the Talbot extremely well which made it really easy for us to book some of our main things like DJ, decoration, photographer and hair and make up. The weather was on our side on our wedding day which meant all of the guests got to make use of the all areas at The Talbot; the drinks reception in the garden and terrace was beautiful, the wedding breakfast BBQ was brilliant, lots of comments from our guests about how great the food was. The courtyard was just perfect throughout the evening, so many guests enjoyed having a drink and chatting out there, whilst others were throwing some moves on the dance floor inside. Krystyna was great at making sure everyone was where they were meant to be throughout the day and she even took Keith and I away for 15 mins before the wedding breakfast, got us a drink and some canapes and just said take some time together which was just such a love
