Wedding Testimonials

Dear Georgia

A very quick note from a very happy stepmother and father-of-the-bride!  From the get-go you have been so helpful and friendly and helped to make our planning seamless and stress-free.  You and Denise (Taste) are a dream team!  

Running out of space, but HUGE thanks to you and all the staff at NCC.  What a place!  Everyone was thrilled to stay and the main day was fabulous.

"Thank you" isn't enough.

Love Jess and Tom

Georgia,
I wanted to take this opportunity to say that we had a fantastic time at North Cadbury Court and are so glad that we chose NCC to have our wedding weekend.  Everyone was truly amazed by it all, and some!
Your staff are a credit to you too, they were very friendly and thoroughly efficient from the moment we arrived.  I would like to single Henny out too, nothing was too much trouble for her, she was a star
Again our much appreciated thanks to you Georgia and your staff.... not forgetting Archie for allowing us in to his home.
The warmest of regards,
Peter & Gill

Hi Georgia
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for helping make it such an amazing weekend. Toby and I had such a fantastic time and it completely surpassed our expectations. Holly has been asking when we come back for another celebration!
Everyone loved the venue and I don’t think we could have hoped for better weather.
We forgot to write in the visitors book with all the packing up on Sunday but I’ll write review online if that’s possible? 
Thanks again
Rachel

Hi,

Just a quick one to say thank you so much for all your help over the last 18 months but especially on Wednesday, it couldn’t have been more perfect, all the staff were so lovely and helpful!

Best wishes,

Harri xx

Hi Nell, Georgia,

We have just got back from honeymoon and I wanted to write and say thank you for everything two weeks ago.  We had a fantastic time, all of our guests loved the venue and everything worked smoothly – I suspect due to a lot of work by you behind the scenes, so thank you.

If there’s any testimonial that we can leave anywhere which would help you, please do let us know.

All the best – and thanks again

 

Hello Team!

One last email to thank you all for jointly making our wedding such a success! Everyone had such a great time and all your varying elements were constantly commented on:

‘What a venue’

‘Best wedding grub ever’

‘Flowers are so fresh and original and the trees are amazing’

‘Marquee looks stunning at night’

Thank you for all your patience, support and flair! 

Good luck with the next one!

Love 

Mr and Mrs P

We had the most incredible wedding at North Cadbury this August. The venue itself is just breathtaking. With endless grounds to explore, wonderful facilities and fabulous, quirky touches such as golf from the roof and bumper balls you’ll never feel bored. There are a vast array of brilliant activities to entertain kids and adults alike. The rooms themselves are stunning and extremely comfortable. Being able to accommodate friends, family and wedding party within the venue itself was such a treat. 

It’s so rare to find a venue that allows you to make it your own for the whole weekend. No corkage, a multitude of spots to legally tie the knot and a glorious ballroom that can seat up to 200 guests are total gems in and amongst the more traditional options out there. With the fabulous support, care and attention from Georgia and her team we were able to bring the wedding of our dreams to life! The NCC staff were also impeccable and made our stay so comfortable and relaxed.

Thank you so much - we’ll never forget it

Emma and Sam xx

Morning both,
Just wanted to quickly thank you so so much for all of your help with our wedding, you were both fantastic. Everything about the weekend was just perfect. 
Our guests were in awe of the venue and I think every single activity was used! 
All of your staff were wonderful too and nothing was too much trouble - please pass on our thanks to them. 
Thanks again
Jo & Remy xx

Georgia, 

Finally back to reality. 

 

I wanted to send a massive thank you to you and your staff for helping our weekend go to plan. You are all amazing. 

 

It genuinely couldn't have gone better. Ben and I literally did have the best weekend of our lives. 

 

I don't know how you arranged the weather either, but thank you! 

 

I will send through some formal photos once we get them. 

 

Thank you so much! 

 

The Cornish's

A huge thanks to you and all your staff for a truly exceptional opportunity to enjoy North Cadbury Court and to have an amazing party! Can’t think of a single thing I would criticise, and the staff were magnificent. 
Will write at greater length but a particular thank you to you for your expert choreography of the whole event. It meant we could enjoy ourselves without stress and we certainly had a brilliant time.
All the best,Charles

Dear Georgia

Thank you so much to you and all of the staff at NCC, Allie and Seth for all of your help in ensuring we had the best wedding weekend possible!  You've been brilliant from start to finish and we couldn't ask for anything more.

Big thanks to Archie for creating such a fabulous venue and letting us into their family home!

Chloe and Tam x

Hi Georgia,
Just wanted to say Thank you for Everything. We had such an amazing time.
You were right about the staff on the Wednesday they were a huge help.
We will recommend you and NCC to everyone we can. We should have some good aerial videos to share with you as well.
Thanks again
The New Mr & Mrs Green

Dearest Georgia

Thank you so very much for everything that you did towards making Erinna and Gordon’s wedding such a success last weekend.  You really did make the whole process so simple and it was very reassuring to have somebody that I trusted completely to deal with.  You were wrong about nothing!

From a personal perspective I would like to mention how impeccable I found the venue to be from the beautifully manicured lawns, that had clearly been cut specially for our event, through to the spotless rooms and baby soft bed linen.  The perfect  temperature of the swimming pool and jacuzzi made them infinitely more useable than many and both were enjoyed to their full potential.  The sound system in the disco, the beautiful quality of the casino tables and exceptionally well equipped house all added to a successful event. The games cupboard meant that guests enjoyed tennis, croquet, boules and golf and the zorbing was a great success - although I did scream rather loudly as I was rolled down the bank!

A special mention must go the staff who worked tirelessly and always with a smile on their faces, no matter how early or late.  They were extremely proactive and very friendly and professional.  Fantastic value for money!

I really could go on forever!

Thank you again Georgia.  You were a pleasure to deal with and I know that Erinna and Gordon are both very grateful to you too.  Although they are far too busy sunning themselves in St Lucia to think of it right now!

I truly hope that I can find an excuse to come and stay at North Cadbury Court again in the not too distant future.

Fondest regards

Sam x

Our darling Georgia!!
Thinking of you whilst we are in Greece! Thank you for everything and being such an important, poignant part in our lives!!
We have so much love for you and everything you do!!
We’ll miss you !!!! Might have to hire the venue again just for a weekend for drinks and dinner rather than a wedding!!! ( if you do that) 
We wanted to send you our wedding video for you to see as we love it!! Joseph is amazing and if you want you can promote him as part of the venue xxxxx
See you soon ❤️❤️

Dear Georgia and team, 

We hope this finds you well! Just a very short note as I am currently on a train heading back to work post honeymoon, but still beaming at the thought of our amazing weekend at North Cadbury. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more and that is mostly down to your amazing venue and wonderful team. We cannot say thank you enough. 

Many thanks again. 

Best wishes, 
 

Dear all,

We are so sorry that this has taken us so long to write - we have had a busy year with getting married, having our little boy and moving house all by the middle of May!  As the year is drawing to a close we wanted to get in touch and say thank you for making our wedding in March possible - without the whole team it could not have happened.  We are obviously sad that family and friends couldn't make it but the tales of that snowy weekend make our wedding weekend even more memorable.

So thank you for going above and beyond what we ever thought possible, from calming our nerves to getting the jeep out to save hair dressers, beauticians and guests, for housing extra guests that couldn't reach their hotels, for clearing the roads of snow and for pulling it all together.  Just wow!

You made Mr and Mrs Spring-Manek possible and we will be forever grateful.  We hope to come back one day - maybe without the snow!

Much love

Dear Georgia and Wendy

I did have a brief chat with Wendy before we left yesterday. However, now the dust is settling and I've had a catch-up on a bit of lost sleep I wanted to pop you a quick note of thanks.

I've spoken to a good few people and all have said that it was one of the nicest events they had attended. For a few, Celine and me included, it was THE nicest). The venue itself is stunning but it also felt a relaxed place. A venue to be used and enjoyed, rather than simply a posh and stuffy place where every step was being watch for a potentially muddy footprint.

There were a great many compliments about the staff, including,of course, the two of you.
The comments and themes were universal. 
Everyone was happy, smiley and even seemed to be enjoying themselves whilst still working hard.
They were happy to chat and engage rather than simply be "dumb waiters"
So efficient. Nothing was tardy but equally nothing felt rushed.
Nothing was too much trouble and anything requested was resolved effectively and with a smile.
Even when the kitchen was busy, we felt we could pop in to make tea or ask a question without feeling we were in the way and being a nuisance to them.
In short the over-riding view was that the whole event transcended the "OK" and delivered the "excellent". 

Very well done and, again, my sincere thanks to you and to all involved.

Kind regards and best wishes for a Happy Christmas to yourselves and all at the Court.

David Pearson

Dear Georgia
We’re back to earth now after a splendid wedding weekend at North Cadbury Court. I’d  like to thank you for all the help you’ve given Jenny and Charles over the past months. Your patience in answering all sorts of minor questions and your knowledge shared in what works well helped the weekend to go smoothly. Both Jenny and Charles said that it was everything they’d hoped for. Would you please pass on my thanks to all the staff who were brilliant! They worked quietly and efficiently and were so helpful enabling all of us to enjoy ourselves.
Once again many thanks.
Kind Regards,
Elizabeth Gilbert 

Dear Archie and Janet

We felt we must write to let you know how much we enjoyed the wedding weekend.  It was such a happy and joyous occasion and the setting at North Cadbury Court was a huge factor in making it a success.  We are very appreciative of everything that Georgia did - she was a bottomless well of advice and ideas and a pillar of strength for Hattie and Dermot in their planning.

We absolutely loved our stay at NCC and are full of admiration for everything you have done to create such a venue, while still keeping it as a recognisable family home.

With best wishes,

Jeremy and Mary

Hi Georgia,

What a brilliant weekend!!! 

It goes without saying how grateful we are for all of your help in the lead up to the day, and without you it couldn’t have happened so thank you so much!! 

Wanted to mention that the entire team were amazing all weekend. Wendy and Allie were awesome, as were Charlie and Seth and everyone else there. They couldn’t have done more to help and we are so grateful. We saw Janet on the Sunday and made sure she knew how awesome everyone had been!

Thanks again so much - you all played a huge part in making a very special weekend for Georgie and I run perfectly. 

James

Dear Georgia and all at NCC

A massive, massive thank you for all you did in making our wedding such a magical occasion.  We had a brilliant weekend and loved every minute of it!  This couldn't have happened without all the assistance and support that you gave us.  All the help in the planning and then the friendliness and efficiency of everyone during the event made it for us.  

The beautiful house bathed in sun for the whole wekeend was a stunning setting - simply stunning!  

So a big thank you to you and everyone involved.  

With all best wishes

 

Dear Georgia

We just wanted to write to say thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding such a huge success!  You were so helpful through the whole process, answering all of our (hundreds of) questions and helping us to plan the whole weekend to make sure it all ran smoothly.  We had such a fabulous time and so did all of our guests who are still talking about what an amazing venue North Cadbury Court is!

We just wish we could do it all again ... maybe we'll be back for our wedding anniversary one day!

Love from Jess and Gus

Dear Georgia and the whole team at North Cadbury Court,

Thank you so much for all of your hard work in the lead up and over our wedding weekend.  Everything was absolutely perfect.  North Cadbury Court is a very special place and we were made to feel so welcome.  It really is the best "home away from home".

The facilities are superb and it allowed us to really celebrate with our nearest and dearest.  Our guests were totally blown away, as were we!  Thank you all for everything, you really are a fantastic team.

What a weekend!  No words will ever show our gratitude, you allowed our weekend to be pure magic!

With all our love

The Bowmans

Dear Georgia (and team)

Tim and I wanted to thank you for all your support, advice and professional assistance leading up to and during our wedding weekend at North Cadbury Court! We had the most perfect weekend and are very grateful to you and the team for helping us celebrate the best weekend of our lives (thus far!)

We will certainly recommend you to our friends and we hope to be back before too long for a reunion. 

All of our gratitute and thanks,

 

 

Dear Mr and Mrs Montgomery

Our heartfelt thanks to you for the use of your most beautiful home for Daisy and Mickey's wedding.  

The house and your lovely and discreet staff could not have been more perfect.  In the time available we didn't make enough use of the grass tennis courts, croquet or golf, although there was some driving off from the roof at 6am.  I so wish we could have stayed longer!  The lake on Sunday was magical with many dipping in and my dog exhausted through swimming with them for at least 3 hours.  Paul, the gardener, could not have been kinder in letting me take fresh rose petals and I hope I did some useful dead-heading in the process.

There is so much more to say in praise of the manner in which you have set up the house.  You appear to have thought of absolutely everything!  It is all so magnificently maintained and presented.  The bedrooms and bathrooms are a total WOW and there is a particulalry fabulous photo of Daisy through the door to her bedroom from the wonderful corridor which yuou may wish to use for publicity.  We will send.  

Georgia was so helpful!  Charlie too.  

My most sincere thanks to you.

Dear Georgia and North Cadbury Court

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for hosting our wedding.  The venue was a dream come true and the perfect location for us to create such wonderful memories.

Thank you very much for all of your hard work, attention to detail and organisation all week.  We couldn't have asked for more and are truly grateful! 

We hope to get to visit again in the future!  

Thank you again, xxx

Hi Georgia

Hope all is well and that your wedding season continues in full swing. 

 

We wanted to say thank you to you and Allie and Seth for all your help in making our wedding weekend such a relaxed and friendly occasion. So many people commented on just how friendly and personal the house felt and James and I certainly had an amazing weekend (although it all went very quickly!)

 

All the very best

 

Hi Georgia,
Lou and I have landed back at our desks after the best weekend of our lives and a pretty awesome week moving around the southern counties of the UK!
We just wanted to get in touch to say thank you so much for working with us over the past 15 months or so, and helping us to plan the biggest party we are ever likely to throw! The guests had an absolute blast and feel like they attended something pretty special in terms of venue. Those guests that stayed on site are even more complimentary of NCC!!
The time flew by and you and your team were absolutely excellent in terms of customer service. You really did treat us very well indeed. In particular, Charlie and the couple who helped on the Friday night were superb. The teams on Saturday and Sunday morning were amazing also, especially staying the extra hour.
I would like to write a review on line and wondered where you would like me to post it so it has the best chance of landing with potential customers?
We will definitely see you again in the future, I really hope that’s not the last time Lou and I spend time at NCC, such a magical place!!
Thanks
Gareth

Georgia

Dear Georgia, Allie and all at North Cadbury Court

Thank you so much for all your help over the past few months, for the invaluable suggestions and the much-needed reminders!

And thank you for helping yesterday to go so well.  It has been amazing to have our wedding here and a huge part of that is thanks to you all!

All the very best wishes

 

Georgia

Thank you so very much for organising such a fab day to celebrate Amy and Sam’s wedding.  The wedding breakfast descended in to chaos as the pianist was so good and had everyone on their feet during the meal.  The caterers could not serve the dessert till we got them all to sit down but they gave up on individual cafetieres for the tables!  It really was a very fun wedding.  Barry organised South West Photobooths (www.southwestphotobooths.co.uk) and also a magic mirror.  They were fab and possibly ones to add to your list.

Wendy was fab too.  We were all pleased with our hair so if you are happy to put Fern on your list we can recommend her. Carly did a great job too on make up.

We can thoroughly recommend you for a wedding.  

Kind regards
Annette

 

Georgia,

Thanks very much for all your help and guidance.  The NCC staff were fantastic, please thank them.  We had a memorable day/weekend - and the main eent was unsurpassable!

Thanks again,  

Barry

Thanks so much for everything. We were so thrilled with how brilliant the whole weekend was. Many of the guests complimented the venue. Thankyou to you all for being so helpful, kind and patient.  Please do let all of the team know how thankful we are for all our yours and their hard work.

We hope we will see you again one day. Hopefully we’ll get to be a wedding guest one day at NCC. 

Best wishes,
Amy 

P.s. we will definitely write glowing reviews- I’m just very slow to get back to Earth after the honeymoon! If there’s anywhere in particular you want one, please let me know otherwise I was going to do a google review 

"What can we say?  Our wedding weekend at North Cadbury Court was simply perfect, we couldn’t have asked for anything more.  The venue is just stunning and provided the perfect setting for all our guests to celebrate our special day.  Georgia and the entire team at NCC were fantastic from start to finish.  Georgia could not have been more helpful in the run up to the weekend (with all our questions!) and ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day, and the team of staff were so welcoming and made us feel completely at home during our stay.   So many of our guests have commented just how beautiful the venue is and how fabulous the staff were.  Archie’s tour of the house on the Sunday was a particular highlight!  NCC was just the perfect choice for our wedding and we have the most amazing memories from the weekend - we are already trying to find an excuse to return!  Thank you to the full NCC team for making it such a special and memorable wedding weekend."

 

Alex and Alice Hogarth, June 2016.

Dear Janet and everyone at North Cadbury Court,

Thank you so much for making Alexandra and Ben's wedding such an unforgettable occasion.   In the last couple of days we have had so many comments about how amazing the house was and also how helpful the staff were.  From the moment we walked through the door we were made to feel extremely welcome and felt very at ease using the house for the weekend.

We can also endorse all your recommendations for the caterers, photographer, florist, etc as they were very professional and did an excellent job on the day.   As mentioned  the beautician Becky was first class.   Also Ally on the day of the wedding was incredibly attentive and took care of every detail.

North Cadbury Court has to be one of the most exceptional venues we have ever been to, (we were both in the Event Industry for quite a few years) and manages to blend formal with quirky and fun so well.   We were very lucky on the Sunday when the guests had full use of the pedalos on the lake, frisby golf, croquet, golf, swimming pool, casino and zorbing to name a few.

Again thank you so much for everything,   

Kind regards,

Stephen and Susan Keyes

Dear Georgia

Just a little something to say thank you so, so much for everything you did in the lead up to, but especially on the day of the wedding.  

Everything about North Cadbury Court and your staff on the day was absolutely perfect and ensured it really was the best weekend of our lives.  The organisation and support was beyond anything we could have hoped for.  

Best wishes, Neil and Jane xx

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Janet, Georgia, Allie and the team at NCC,

Thank you so much for providing the most magical setting for our wedding weekend.  People are still talking about what an amazing weekend it was and that is large to do with the house, the facilities and the most friendly and capable stff that made it so smooth and seamless.  

We can't thank you enough - and we will be back!  

Love Ally and Ben x

Dear Georgia

Hope you are well.  We just wanted to send you a few pics from our wedding back in August.  We had the most fabulous day/ wknd of our lives and everything couldn't have been more perfect! So thanks again to you and all your amazing staff at NCC plus all your recommended suppliers that we used  - Caroline Gent, Caroline from Fleur Provocateur, Samantha's Cake, the Nanny's, the butcher, the local store and more... they all did a fantastic job and we couldn't have asked for more...

Our Photographer Paul Hames took some amazing shots so I've attached a few below - if there is anything that might be useful for you that's absolutely fine - and just let me know as I have higher resolution versions of them

We are look forward to coming back and doing it all again on our 10th Wedding Anniversary!

Kind regards

Abi & Clint, Kye & Ava xx

I just wanted to drop you a short note thanking you for use of the house last week. We had the most amazing time and whilst the weather was not perfect we still made the most of our time in your wonderful house.

The yacht club was fantastic we had a very special ceremony using all the space, the fact that we could move swiftly from being outside to being covered by using the bi folding doors was brilliant and saved us all getting very wet! There were a few tears from the guests but only emotional ones!

We all enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the facilities which are all to such a high standard. I wanted to let you know how brilliant all the staff were that we encountered over our time at the house. They all have such a wonderful attitude and nothing was to much trouble. They are a credit to you and add to the experience. We used Pickers as our Caterers and they were equally good, wonderful food and superb service. I know a number of the young people that support them were also working in other functions around the house.

As I say we had the most amazing time, particularly our international guests some of whom I know met you and you kindly gave them some of your valuable time.

Thank you again I think I have run out of superlatives  and it is not often I am left speechless.  We look forward to coming down again sometime, who knows maybe our anniversary!!

All the best

Martin & Sarah Irisarri

Dear Georgia

Thank you so much for your hard work last weekend when we hired North Cadbury Court for the wedding of Tom and Jess.  All the staff were a huge credit to you, a really lovely bunch of boys and girls - presentable, chatty and hard working.  The weekend could not have been any better.  The glorious weather just added to the incredible setting, I felt like we were living in a dream most of the time.

Please convey our thanks to all your staff, visible and non-visible for making our weekend so special and also to yourself.  I am sure there was a lot going on beforehand of which I was not awre, but it all came together perfectly on the day.

Thank you so much,

Keith and Nicky

 

Dear Georgia and all the brilliant staff at North Cadbury Court,

What can we say - there's nowhere near enough room in this card to say thank you to the extent that you deserve, but THANK YOU so much for helping to make our wedding weekend the best time of our lives.  Obviously the venue was beyond what we'd ever thought possible for a wedding venue, and we couldn't possibly list the number of ecstatic people who said it was the best venue they'd ever been to - not just for weddings, but full stop!  But of couse none of it would have been possible without the staffs incredible help and support.  Thank you Georgia in particular for always being at the end of a telephone or email and willing to answer the smallest and silliest of questions - we honestly couldn't have done it without you!  We only hope we can visit again one day.

Thank you so much again!

Naomi and Ben x

 

 

Dear Georgia, Allie and Wendy

Thank you so much for all of your help and support with the wedding - we couldn't have done it without you all!  You are a fantastic team from start to finish, making us all feel so welcome and ensuring the wedding day ran so smoothly.

We really did hit the jackpot finding NCC and couldn't have dreamed of having our wedding in a more perfect venue!  Thank you so much again and hopefully we'll be back one day!

Love the Hollis'

 

Dear Georgia and team

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and everyone at NCC who helped make our wedding weekend so fantastic, we just loved it. It just went perfectly thanks to your support and we actually wish we could do it again - some of our friends are joking about trying to hire the place together so we can come back!

Thanks again, Jess and Nige

Hi Georgia,
Just wanted to say on behalf of my friends and family how much we enjoyed the whole time at North Cadbury Court, it was perfect in so many ways.
Also a personal thank you for your kind help and thoughtfulness re the table cloth for the cake, and my corsage! The staff were amazing and Sausage and Pear, outstanding!! 
There was hardly any cake left, which was a nice surprise! I gave some to the ladies doing the breakfast.
Thank you again.
Kind regards.
Penny and Keith Grundon
 

There are no words to describe how totally perfect and incredible our stay has been.  The venue is out of this world!  Thank you for everything, we don't want to leave!

Vicky and James

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Georgia

I wanted to send you one of our official thank you cards to express our gratitude for the amazing support you gave to us for our wedding.  North Cadbury Court is such a stunning venue.  Both Simon and I and all of our guests had a brilliant time and we will have so many great memories for years to come.  The help you provided was absolutely invaluable, you were so friendly, knowledgable patient and fun!  The whole process really wouldn't have been the same without you!

With best wishes, Sarah and Simon

 

 

Hi Georgia,
I hope this email finds you well, I wanted to get back in touch to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at North Cadbury Court, and also to let you know how much we appreciate your hard work in the run up to (and during) the wedding itself. All your advice was incredibly helpful - it was invaluable to have someone available to discuss things with, and to run ideas past.
Please could you also pass on our thanks to the staff who came in to assist with breakfast and clearing up after us - they were all lovely and incredibly helpful. I'd certainly recommend them to anyone staying at the house. Thanks also to the night managers who were very patient in waiting for the bar to be cleared up and the final guests to leave!
We have nothing negative to say about our experience at NCC. The house is beautiful and it really felt like home for the time we were there; every single room is lovely and the facilities are just amazing. I'm really glad we decided to take the extra night as it gave us an opportunity to ensure we used as much of the house, grounds and facilities as possible. 
I thought it might also be useful to give you some feedback about the suppliers. The croupiers who you recommended did a great job and were really friendly. Field To Fire were brilliant and it made for a great evening to have them cook pizza out the front and then bring it in for us to eat. It was a really good way of feeding a lot of people and very cost effective.
Although not recommended by you, both acts which we arranged through Earcandy were brilliant (The Strings and The Somebodys). If you come across anyone struggling for music then we would certainly recommend them. The Somebodys were recommended to us by some friends and we have already recommended them on to someone else.
Matthew from Birds Hill Days was great fun and everyone really enjoyed the clay pigeon shooting. We also of course went to The Camelot in South Cadbury for lunch on the Tuesday and they did a great job of feeding everyone; this was a good option to make sure everyone was fed and without us having to cater for another meal.
The lighting and furniture provided by GLD was all spot on, as was the linen that you arranged.  All the glass from Rochester Hire was as requested and they came in and collected it without issue; I think we broke two champagne flutes and that was it.
Hopefully we left the house in a good condition; we tried to clear up after ourselves where possible and respect the fact that this is/was someone else's home. If there was anything left behind which we need to collect then just let me know (for example Vicky thinks she might have left some trainers on the grass outside the swimming pool).
We will most certainly be recommending NCC to others and would love to come back one day!
Thanks again for everything.
Kind regards,
James & Vicky xx

Dear Georgia, Wendy & Allie,

Mike & I just wanted to say thank you so much for being a part of our truly special day. We literally had the BEST day & weekend of our lives & didn't want it to end. 

Everyone was absolutely in awe of the house & we couldn't have dreamed of having our wedding at a more perfect welcoming & stunning venue. You all made myself, mike, family & friends feel very welcome & comfortable, from the moment we came to have a look around the house to saying I do & recovering on the Sunday. 

 

We honestly couldn't have put the wedding together without all of your individual help, from conversations about caterers, to helping with frantic floral arrangements and washing up on the Sunday!! You have all gone above & beyond & we are truly grateful for this.

 

Thought we would send you a few photos from our wedding, that show the house & church in all it's glory. Please feel free to use them if you wish - they were taken by Albert Palmer http://albertpalmerphotography.com/latest-weddings/

 

Hopefully we will be back one day to enjoy the house once more! 

 

Kind Regards

Jayne & Mike Hollis 

Our wedding could not have been more perfect - thank you to everyone at NCC, this is a truly special place

xxx Penny and James 

 

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of NCC and were impressed by the service and operation of the weekend which made the wedding of James and Penny so special. My thanks go to Georgia and the team for making it all happen.

Yours

Hi Georgia,

Thank you so much for such an amazing weekend - we honestly couldn't have wished for any more - Will says you are the female James Bond and that he couldn't have done it without you. Yourself and everyone else involved were totally amazing!!  We had the BEST time.

Hopefully we will get to visit again at some point soon!

Love and Best wishes,
Ellie & Will
Xx
 

Dear Georgia

Many, many thanks in helping to make Ellie and Will’s big day so very special.  Everyone had a truly memorable weekend, we honestly wished it would never end, or that we could have done it all gain the following weekend!

Such a breath-taking house – grand, warm, comfortable yet so homely – absolutely unforgettable.  The new curtains in the Ballroom are perfect, that room was possibly the most beautiful room I’ve ever seen, I’m so glad Ellie decided on it for the ceremony.  Everyone raved about everything!  Truly stunning.

Your wallpapers (Lewis and Wood) say no more, loved every room!  Not forgetting your house staff who were amazing too, so hard-working and nothing too much trouble, please thank them all again on our behalf.

Lastly, a strange little fact, my father, now 82, was evacuated as a small boy to the village of North Cadbury during WWII with his family, he remembered the house and village fondly and watching dairymaids make cheese!  He loved the house and furniture as he is a cabinet maker and would have loved to talk to Archie!  Ah well, maybe another time as we would all LOVE to come back,

Our very best wishes,

Helen and Chris Green

 

 

Wow wow wow, what can I say! We truly had the absolutely most fantastic time at North Cadbury Court. We genuinely couldn't have wished for the weekend to go any better. We really did have the most fantastic wedding day. Your staff were absolutely fantastic- they were so friendly, so professional and certainly went out of their way to do anything that was asked. I didn't have to worry about a thing - i just hope they didn't mind my over the top lists and plans that i gave them on the Friday! I felt completely relaxed all weekend which i wanted (especailly as you workred out - i am a bit of a control freak!). 

 

Thank you especially for making it all work so well. The morning of the wedding i felt really content and i knew you had it all under control - just popping in now and then putting my mind at ease, dropping off some bubbles...and holding my dress all the way to the church!!! - Thank you for making it so that i enjoyed the morning preparations as much as the rest of the day too. You really are fantastic at your job and you will be an important part of our wedding weekend memories as you made it all come together. Thank you , thank you, thank you.

 

North Cadbury Court itself was absolutely perfect. The house is the right mix of home, luxury and cosines and we haven't' stopped having people rave about it. We could not think of one thing we would change or do differently, we just didn't want to leave.

 

As for the suppliers....all were brilliant! Terry at GLD, Wincanton Coaches - both great.

 

The Dorset Chef were phenomenal - we have a lot of foodies within both our families and everyone is still talking about the fantastic food. Their service was top class and i would recommend them 100% to everyone. Maddie is such a kind lady and will go out of her way to make it a smooth and enjoyable process. I would recommend them to every single bride and groom!

 

Caroline and Sally at Fleur Provocateur went above and beyond. Not only were the flower stunning, fresh and 100% in keeping with our theme, Sally and Caroline constantly touched base throughout the year to keep my mind at ease. I never needed to chase them, they were always at the end of the phone if i ever needed to discuss anything. They made the whole flower choosing process a lot of fun and they too made the wedding so special. I would without a doubt recommend them.

 

Our Videographer Nigel was also great - a lovely guy, i would certainly recommend him to others. The company is called Somerset Wedding films.  http://www.somersetweddingfilms.co.uk/

 

Thank you Georgia for helping both Daniel and I, as well as our families, have a wedding weekend of a lifetime. We all have such fantastic memories and we can't thank you enough for helping them be made. 

 

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

 

P.s. When the pics come through i will send some on of NCC!

We're now back from our honeymoon and just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your help in creating the most amazing wedding and weekend.  We and all our guests enjoyed it so much and are really grateful for everything you and your team did to make everything run so smoothly.  We haven't been able to stop talking about how wonderful everything was!

 

North Cadbury Court was the first weekend venue we looked at, and it was obvious we had found what we were looking for; a combination of traditional English country house with the modern facilities to 'wow' not just our American guests, but also the Brits who are well used to this. It was quite simply amazing. The flow of activities from one reception room to the next throughout the whole weekend with some wonderful quirky elements thrown in made this not just a wedding to remember, but a weekend. With half the guests from across the pond with high standards of 'destination weddings', NCC, in those guests words, set new heights. Georgia and her team were fantastic throughout the whole process, guiding us when we needed it, and accommodating our requests. It was, quite simply, superb and as my daughter and new son-in-law stated - ' it made it the wedding of our dreams!'. I cannot praise or thank both the venue and the people who own and run it enough and look forward to any excuse in the future to return.

Hello ladies,

Apologies for the delay in sending this to you but i am only just back in work today.

Thank you so much for all your help in the lead up and also on the weekend of our wedding. You were both amazingly helpful and took so much of the stress out of the planning and the actual weekend. We were absolutely delighted with how everything worked out and all of our guests had a great time. 

Please also pass our thanks onto Janet and Archie. The lucky guests, who were there early enough on Friday, were very entertained by Archie's tour of the house. 

Thanks again.

Conor and Teri

PS We realised we had not signed the guest book when we were half way home....we will come back down some weekend to do that!

Hi Georgia and Allie 

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your help with our wedding on 28 August. We absolutely loved North Cadbury Court. It was the perfect venue for us. All the feedback from the guests have been incredible. They loved the pool, playing a big family cricket match, using the bumper balls, playing tennis and of course teeing off from the roof!

Georgia thanks for all the help, ideas and responding to our many question in the run-up and Allie a massive thank you to you and all the staff that worked over the weekend. We have attached a few pics of us and the house.

We will think of you often when we drive down to see family on the A303 and pass the turn off! We really hope we can come back again one day.

Cordelia & Nick

Can I say what an absolutely marvellous weekend we had and how wonderful it was to be in North Cadbury Court. All the arrangements went extremely well, the wedding ceremony was full of fun and laughter, as well as being very moving, the catering, the flowers, the wedding breakfast seating, the coach from the Travelodge in Yeovil (Bakers), the lovely and very patient and attentive lady and her helpers at Breakfast, the croupiers, Charlie and the night staff, couldn't have been more helpful and positive.

As you may know, we booked fine weather ( Michael Fish is a distant cousin of mine !), and we sat outside till the early hours, and made full use of all the facilities except the archery, which is probably just as well. The younger guests drank an enormous amount of alcohol, and I hope there was little damage, and not too much clearing up. The pool area, the lawns, the fire pits, the incredible views and light were appreciated by everyone. And the golf went well, the winning score was 13 (5 - 3 - 5).

So, a big thank you to everyone involved who provided us with a dream wedding and a dream weekend, which is exactly what Suzanna and Tom dreamed of.

With best wishes to you all,

Rob (father of the Groom)

What can we say?  Our wedding weekend at North Cadbury Court was simply perfect, we couldn’t have asked for anything more.  The venue is just stunning and provided the perfect setting for all our guests to celebrate our special day.  Georgia and the entire team at NCC were fantastic from start to finish.  Georgia could not have been more helpful in the run up to the weekend (with all our questions!) and ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day, and the team of staff were so welcoming and made us feel completely at home during our stay.   So many of our guests have commented just how beautiful the venue is and how fabulous the staff were.  Archie’s tour of the house on the Sunday was a particular highlight!  NCC was just the perfect choice for our wedding and we have the most amazing memories from the weekend - we are already trying to find an excuse to return!  Thank you to the full NCC team for making it such a special and memorable wedding weekend.

Alex and Alice Hogarth, June 2016.

Thank you so much for all your help in the run-up to our big day and a huge thank you to the wonderful team for ensuring everything went smoothly over the whole weekend.  

North Cadbury Court is the most amazing venue, what more could you ask for, I did not want to leave!  I keep trying to think of a reason to host a huge event again so we can stay at the house again - we will be back!

 

 

 

I don't even know what to say. Thank you so much for the most incredible weekend of our lives. Everything was perfect, staff were so helpful and nice. We felt so comfortable in the house and you were a STAR. I will make sure to share the pictures when I get them. I don't think that's the last you'll be seeing of our crew, we just need to figure out an excuse :)
Love,
Aimee & Ian

Dear Georgia
I’m sure Brian & Jen will thank you when they’ve come back from honeymoon, but I just wanted to say thank you myself.  You have provided us with such practical help and support throughout the planning of this wedding and we do very much appreciate it. For us it was the perfect wedding, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. 
The house itself is so homely & friendly, it lends itself effortlessly to house parties and weddings. Archie is lovely too, and rightly proud of his house and sharing all the history of it with the guests.   As Jen is a geologist it was quite a coincidence to learn about the links to Charles Lyell and see his books in the library.
It has been a magical week, I don’t want to slip back into everyday mode quite yet!
Thank you Georgia, you have been a star
Best wishes
Julie & Richard Morris

Wow and wow again!  What an amazing time we've had, a perfect wedding day and house party.  Huge thanks to Georgia and her team for all their help.  

Such a happy time in a wonderful house, we were so lucky to find North Cadbury Court!

We just wanted to pop you an email to say thank you again for being so helpful and patient throughout the organising of our wedding.  It was such an amazing weekend and the most amazing house.
I am sure there will be return business with rumours flying round of 80th birthdays and new year bookings.
I can honestly say that in all my time working in Locations I have not come across such a warm/fun house that is steeped with charm yet able to be enjoyed so much.
Thanks so much again

Dear Georgia
It’s difficult to convey in an email how grateful we are to you for all your hard work, professionalism and friendliness in respect of our recent wedding at North Cadbury Court. Although we loved North Cadbury Court as a venue from the moment we pulled up outside last April, it’s no exaggeration to say that a key factor in us choosing it was meeting you that day and the knowledge that we would have your assistance over the course of the subsequent 9 months. That said, we couldn’t have known then just how helpful and patient you would prove to be, from answering our somewhat lengthy (!) emails to pulling back the curtain to the North Hall as we started down the aisle with our mums. We really did have the most wonderful weekend at North Cadbury Court and we couldn’t have wished for anything better; the staff at the venue were fantastic, the place itself was the perfect blend of being impressive and homely and everything was taken care of such that we, and our guests, could enjoy a luxurious and memorable weekend.
We’ll certainly send you some photographs (and a proper thank you note) in due course, but we didn’t want to delay (now that we’re back with internet access) in expressing our sincere thanks to you.
Very best wishes
Barry and Duncan

Hi Georgia,
Thank you very much for all your help in the preparation and on the day for our wedding. We had a wonderful time and North Cadbury is such a fantastic venue, all our guests were overwhelmed at how beautiful the house is.
We were very sad to leave yesterday but will treasure the memories forever.
Thank you again.
Katy and Mark Webb x
 

Hi Georgia,
Tom and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help with our stay at North Cadbury Court and of course the wedding day.  
From the moment we looked around we knew there was nowhere else we could have our house party with a wedding thrown in. The place is absolutely stunning but we felt so comfortable and at home we knew nowhere else would compete.
You have been so helpful throughout the planning process for which we are extremely grateful for. All your tips and advice made a huge difference. And your help on the day meant we could relax and enjoy ourselves.
Please pass on our thanks to everyone else there, they all worked so hard and made our few days there truly memorable. We have had nothing but great feedback from all our guests.
Now I just need to convince Tom we need a week there next year!
Kind regards
Carly and Tom

Hi Georgia, 
We wanted to say a huge thank you for all your support in the plans leading up to the wedding and everything you did on the wedding day. We had a fantastic time and loved every minute of the whole weekend. We're looking for another excuse to hire the Court again! 
Love Mr and Mrs Harrington :) x

Dear Georgia and Allie
Thank you ever so much for all of the excellent support that you gave us in the lead up to our wedding and on the day.  It went so well and to us it was perfect.  North Cadbury and its staff are so thoughtful and efficient at making everything happen.  We couldn't have asked for a  better experience or day.  Thank you so much for all of your time, advice and encouragement.  We loved it and felt like it was such a great choice for our US and UK family and friends.  We hope that one day maybe in 10 years time we can have an anniversary celebration, if only we could do it every year!  

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Georgia and Allie,
Thank you so much for a perfect weekend.  Many people said it was the best weeding that they had attended and this was due, in great part, to the venue and your organisational skills.
All 3 caterers were fantastic and we would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.  The house and facilities are exceptional as is the atmosphere in the house, warm and welcoming, Zoe and Mike could not have made a better choice.
We wanted not only to thank you both but also all of the staff. Please pass on our thanks and hopefully, they can make use of the food and drink that we left by agreement with Mrs Montgomery, who popped in on Sunday afternoon - a very charming lady.
With very warm regards
Ian and Gill Smith

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for helping to make our wedding weekend so special. We couldn't have hoped for a more perfect venue than North Cadbury Court which was a beautiful backdrop to our celebrations and provided plenty of entertainment for our guests. You have all been so incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process and then over the weekend itself. Do also pass on our thanks to the other housekeeping staff who made sure everything ran so smoothly and we didn't need to worry about anything, as well as to Archie for allowing us to use his home and putting out all the games for our guests to play with. 
We feel so lucky to have been able to spend time at North Cadbury and hope that we will have a reason to return in the future.  We will share the professional photos with you once we get them back in case there are any shots of the house you are interested to see.
Thank you again for all your help
Hannah and Josh

Dear Georgia,

 

We had a wonderful time at North Cadbury, it exceeded my greatest expectations.  The staff were hard working, very kind and helpful.  I was never distracted from my real job as mother-of the bride to look over anything.  The rooms were comfortable and gorgeous, all our guests were so very pleased and happy to be there.  The pool and hot tub were so clean and such a refreshing activity.   I miss it and want to return for other celebrations. 

 

The one word that sums up the whole wedding at North Cadbury was magical.  Thank you for all your help organizing and giving excellent advice, we were all so very pleased. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end.

 

Sincerely,

Judy Hirsch

Dear Georgia

I just wanted to write and tell you what a truly wonderful experience Alix and Lawrie's wedding was at North Cadbury Court.  We all thoroughly enjoyed it, but a special thank you to you for helping the day to run so smoothly, I noticed you out and about checking on everything unnoticed by all our guests, but your quiet mangement behind the scenes was most appreciated, as well as all your advice prior to the wedding.

We loved the way people flowed from one room to the next during the wedding and I know our guests really appreciated the lovely ambiance of the house and being able to have somewhere comfortable to sit, everything was just as we had hoped for and planned.  I would like to pass on our sincere thanks to your staff there as well, you must have a very good housekeeping team to make it look so clean and tidy so quicky.  The babysitters were just delightful and so lovely with the children, I know all the parents felt they were able to enoy the event in peace knowing their children were being cared for so well.  The breakfast team on Sunday were such a help and it was a bous not to have to do all the cooking and washing up the night after it all, so I could enjoy the company of everyone staying.

Please convey my compliments to the Montgomery family for making their family home into such a lovely place to have an event such as ours.  The rooms, living areas and entertainment areas have all been so tastefully decorated, I only wish we had more time to spend there.

With best wishes,  Beth

 

 

 

Josh and I just wanted to say thank you again for everything. We had such an amazing wedding day and it all ran so smoothly. We really couldn't have wished for a more stunning setting on our wedding day!

OMG...we had the best 3 days ever! I can not thank you enough for all your help and support!

 I actually can not find the words to describe how amazing and overwhelmed we were. The day was perfect and ran so smoothly. Everything went to plan exactly as I had envisaged and can not thank you enough for all the planning and effort everyone made. I will happily write individual testimonials for everyone on your websites but for now just wanted to thank you via email so you are aware how much we appreciate your commitment and hard work. For you all it's just work, but you honestly made us the happiest couple alive! A lot of hard work went into having a perfect day and we achieved it better than I could ever imagine! 
THANKYOU with all our heart,
Sarah & Paul, the newly wed Mr & Mrs Mogan xx

 

Hi Georgia
We are still piecing together the memories of an absolutely brilliant 4 days at the Court! A great mix of good parties and beautiful wedding.
Thanks again for your incredible support and your patience over the last month.
Best
Tim & Francien

Hi Georgia
I hope you are well. We just came back from our mini-moon, and it was
fantastic. Although, we had such an amazing time at NCC that we wish it
never ended. Thank you soo much for all your help, and we will 100%
recommend this venue to our friends at work!
Regards,
Dan
 

We have had the most amazing weekend ever, North Cadbury Court is just the perfect setting for a wedding weekend. Archie kindly bought over the dog beds. Me and Seb would like to thank you, Ali and all the staff at NCC for an absolutely wonderful weekend. You were all so accommodating and helpful and the house was just beautiful.

The house and its setting, right down to the housekeeping and facilities, are magnificent. The organisation and staffing was so smooth and professional from the outset that we didn't even notice it. We couldn't have asked for more. With sincere gratitude

We are still enjoying the afterglow of success after such a wonderful wedding and long weekend at North Cadbury Court. Thank you so much – everyone kept saying what a beautiful and stunning location it was. We feel very privileged to have held Sam and Jasmine’s wedding at NCC. Thank you too for all your hard work and making it work so smoothly. I also want to thank Archie and Janet who were absolutely amazing, nothing was too much trouble for them. Their generosity of spirit was fantastic, I think it’s a wonderful thing that they are able to trust people in such a historic house – and enable so many people to enjoy it. All our guests were ecstatic about the venue – it was a huge treat and thrill for everyone to be there. Above all, I think we all felt so relaxed because of this total trust. Many thanks for helping to make our wedding so spectacular and memorable. And a big thanks to Janet and Archie.

Dear Georgia, Now that we have come back to reality (with a bump) I wanted to write to thank you for all your help over the last year. We greatly appreciated your help and guidance as we planned the wedding and are especially grateful for your help in finding a new caterer at the last minute. We had an absolutely wonderful weekend - precisely the kind of organised chaos/relaxed family union we had hoped for. I hope you will also pass on our thanks to the Montgomery family. North Cadbury Court is a truly special place - again and again our guests commented on how extraordinary it is that it feels like a family home, with nothing locked up or behind glass. We feel lucky to have spent time there and will always treasure it. We wish you and everyone at North Cadbury all the very best.

Dear Georgia, We would like to say a huge thank you for all your help, effort and efficiency in making our daughter’s and son-in-law’s wedding truly magical. I think you were even responsible for the perfect weather. Everyone was very complimentary about the amazing rooms and extremely comfortable beds. North Cadbury Court is a unique place with stunning surroundings and were are already thinking of excuses to go back for another weekend. We would also like to thank the Parsnip & Mash staff for their hard work, attention to detail and professionalism – and a special thank you to the chef for rescuing the wedding cake. The food & puddings were simply delicious. Another big thank you to the cleaning staff who were extremely kind and efficient. Georgia, please pass on our thanks to the Montgomery family for making it possible to share their beautiful home with our family and friends.

THANK YOU! I cannot thank you enough for all your support and hard work throughout our long year of wedding planning and over the course of our wonderful wedding day. As far as we were concerned, we could not have had a better day and that was due in no small part to you and all your hard work. Everything ran so smoothly and you were an absolute tour de force. In particular, thank you for dealing with all my long winded emails and phone calls so patiently, for making such good recommendations – especially your advice about hiring Victoria, whose service and wonderful food completely blew me away – and for generally being lovely, especially during the very sad circumstances of the last few weeks before our wedding. Mayuresh and I will always be grateful to you and your team, who all did a wonderful job on the day, and we already miss our little visits to North Cadbury Court – it's a very special place indeed.
