The Great House Reviews
We have had a very warm and thorough onboarding process from The Great House by Tilly who works in the events for the location- she has guided us through the organisation of our special day which is due to take place in September.
We have been provided with ample information on timings, coordination, flexibility on vendors and general advice.
We were put off by other venues because of their rigidity around external vendors and food options. With some venues the tendency is to say "that's not possible" whilst the Great House tends to let you customise and finds a work around. We have felt, so far, very confident that our day will be special.
The only negative comment we would make is that initially when we had our tasting, the food was perhaps below what you might expect for a £55 p/head menu- however Tilly accommodated a second tasting (free of charge) with different choices which both lived up to the price tag, and of course, the standards we are hoping to achieve with our day.
The physical setting and décor are lovely: the spacious lawn stretches to the edge of the towpath right beside the Thames (a very nice section of the Thames)- there is a lot of outside seating with enormous owning umbrellas. Inside is a charming modern rural vibe with great lighting everywhere. Lots of parking and relatively easy to get to aside from occasional traffic caused by the early Victorian single lane bridge, which although aesthetically pleasing does create a bit of a bottleneck. There is a quant church nearby that we have decided to attend in order to have our ceremony there.
Overall The Great House are extremely responsive, accommodating and we very much look forward to our wedding there.
