wedding on Wed, 1st of November, 2023
Well what a fantastic venue from start to finish, we felt like royalty.
We are an older couple and wanted something simple so with Lisa’s help decided on a cream tea for 21 guests.
She wavered the minimum number and worked out a good reasonable cost, so we booked it and deposit went down and we

went about organising our wedding.
We booked a room for two nights so I stayed a day before.
They stored our cake the day before and took everything off our hands, vases of flowers, everything.
The wedding day was amazing.
We had my grandsons as photographers they are 7 & 8 with the help of the registrar, she placed them facing the guests to get the best shots. As the boys they were 4, Lisa moved button holes etc. This was a simple wedding made special.
I had silk flowers in vases, they were placed on the table during the service and by the time we sat down they had moved to the wedding table, it all makes a difference.
Something very special, I gave a table place on a piece of A4 cardboard and as we went to enter the wedding breakfast they had made up an A3 table plan using images of the name places with butterflies and putting it in a stand. It made a difference.
A very helpful thing especially with the cost of living after the deposit is paid, you get a date for the balance to be paid by so I was paying with whatever money I had during the weeks leading up to the final payment. I managed to pay via bank transfer bits here there and everywhere. Very flexible.So after boring the pants off everyone.
The staff everyone from kitchen to house keeping (who thank you for our surprise by the way it was wonderful) were exceptional.
Professional but approachable even tolerated the boys who were good but children will be children so another big thank you to the lady with the 5 year old for keeping an eye out. The building was magnificent. Everything was spotless. The food wonderful
I’m gluten and milk intolerant and it was all catered for including breakfast.
Happy days.

wedding on Thu, 21st of September, 2023
Just a few words to say how very pleased we are with how the whole Wivenhoe House Hotel team ran our wedding day. Many thanks to Lisa Grantham for setting up a very efficient personalised plan for us which ran perfectly, and Vusi and Lauren at reception for whom nothing seemed too much

trouble.
Hats off to Lionel and his team for their impeccable and discrete service, and to Pheobe and Gemma for all their help on the day.
We were also taken with how beautifully our bedroom and function rooms were set and the calm and efficient way the entire day flowed faultlessly.
We feel that we should also thank Camilla Legg for Jayne's hair and makeup, and Rob and Andy of Embrace Photography for integrating so well with the Wivenhoe team to make our day flow seamlessly.
Overall we and our guests enjoyed our time with you immensely and will be recommending you wholeheartedly.

The Wivenhoe House Hotel, Colchester.
The whole experience from beginning to end was faultless.
Perfect day.
Lisa and Patrick
We had such an amazing day; the venue looked beautiful, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and it all just came together so well. The little touches from the congratulations card in our wedding night suite or the Ops Manager taking care of Pats nerves for him - we literally couldn’t have

asked for more from anyone.

I understand on the day there were a couple of guests springing dietary requirements out of no where, something I was not aware of previously. We have received such positive feedback about how the waitresses and kitchen staff managed these awkward requests and on behalf of our guests we would like to thank them all!
Lionel as always was a true gent and made me and Patrick feel so special! He was so complimentary, catered to every need and really added a special atmosphere. On every visit I have loved bumping into him, what a wonderful man he is!

We would like to thank Gus and Aaron especially. We couldn’t have asked for two more professional and genuinely lovely guys to run our wedding day. They chatted away with us, made all our guests feel welcome and added real warmth to the proceedings. They are two shining stars and I really hope we meet them again on future visits.

And last but not least…… Louise, you have been an absolute gem from start to finish - it can’t have been easy being the third co-ordinator to work on our wedding but you managed it with ease and grace. Nothing was too much trouble, you never made me feel like I asked too many questions and you did everything with a spring in your step and a smile on your face, I applaud you! Everything went to plan on the day and I know in large that was down to your help and input.

We literally couldn’t have asked for a more special day from you all so from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
