    Has anybody been here or looked into this wedding venue? we went there on saturday as we were passing, and ohh my god i have fell in love with the place. we are going to book an appointment but fear it will be out of our budget, god i hope not!!!!!!! website details are rubbish as the weddings info takes u to the main marriot site and cant find anything specific to the forest of arden.

    the websites really dont do it justice. i really really really want this place at rough guess i think it will be about £1500 more than the others im looking at but it looks £10,000 more expensive. ohhhhhh really need to try and sweet talk mom n dad but so far they are having none of it and leaving it all to us!

    i used to go to meetings at our venue around 10 years ago. i was married at the time but i always said to my mam, imagine walking down that staircase in ur wedding dress and i dreamed of getting married there but thought it would be far too expensive. wen me and mada decided to get married we were goin to go abroad but then i saw an advertisement for their wedding packages and it was much cheaper than i thought so he said we could have it there insted.so, you might be pleasantly surprised. i wil keep my fingers crossed for u xx

    well we had our meeting with the wedding co last night and i still love it!!!! took my folks this time and they can see why i have fell in love with it. from the moment you pull in you are greeted by a the long driveway with deer in the field wowwwww, park up walk into the beautiful courtyard gardens wowwwwww, walk under the wedding arch and into reception wowwwww, the main hotel bar and grounds wowwwww, we then went up to the room that would suit our numbers. i first thought ohhhh seems small but then she showed me a door which opened up on the night into a separtate bar and lounge area with another room on the side for kiddies or what not woowwwwwwwwwwww, we would also have own in little balcony with amazing views overlooking to golf course. lol i think you get the picture that i really do love it!!!!!!!!!

    now we sat down and talked figures which i still need to get clear in my own mind if its a good deal or not.
    they have numerous meal plans for the day and i quite liked the idea of a wedding breakfast buffet but never actually had one of these before so not really sure on the score with it.
    obvoiusly i know the deal with a buffet but hot meals like mushroom lasagne, beef and yorkies, lamb and rosmary veggies, prawn pasta type thing and other stuff what generally happens here first come first served, like the last few people that go up might all end up with mushroom lasagne????????????????
    Also they dont have set drinks packages its all by the glass which bumps up the price a little, would people be ok with only having one glass of wine with their meal and one toasting wine, or shall we try and budget for 2 glasses of wine with the meal????
    ohh and another thing the arrival drinks you can have buckets of stella and they work out half the price of the buckfizz so i thought about getting 24 bottles of stella and 26 bucksfizz does this sound like a good idea?

    hello by the way!! lol what date are you booked for, im just trying to work it all out adding all the little extras in, do you have any hints and tips for me from your meetings with them? tbh from my costings they arent much more expensive than some i have looked at but FOA looks a lot more pricey, if you see what i mean.
