I'm glad I chose this place for our wedding. Graydon Hall Manor is just exquisite!

Dear Nicole,
As you are aware, my wife and I held our Reception to celebrate our 55th Wedding Anniversary (and our significant Birthdays), on Sunday 10th June. That everything went so well was, in no small measure, due to the overall management and control by our Event Designer, Jacqueline Rogers. We consider ourselves very fortunate that Jacqueline set up our initial appointment to visit the Manor for our very first time. Right from the beginning, she gave us a convincing presentation of the potential of the Manor to accommodate our requirements.
She then followed up with a choice of set-up plans, which, even when we made the decision, she fine tuned to our benefit. When it came to the selection of the food, she was extremely helpful and her experience was evident in the choices that she suggested. This was especially so when she advised on the numbers of each item, as we had no idea and had to rely on her totally. Even on other matters, like the TV set-up for our DVD, Easels for our displays, choice of the Harpist, suggestions regarding flowers for the tables and the celebration cake itself, her advice was invaluable
All the time she expressed nothing but confidence that everything was going to go well and so, it was with great peace of mind that we arrived for our Reception. Having Jacqueline there throughout the afternoon was a great comfort to Sheila and I, as we knew that she was in control and making sure that all of the plans were met. We cannot thank her enough as, going by their comments when leaving, everyone was impressed by the Manor, the extremely timely and attentive service by the staff, there were many kudos to the Chef for the food and wine and just the very pleasing atmosphere. In the next few days afterwards, we received many "Thank You" cards, emails and telephone calls from the guests, emphasising how much they had enjoyed the Reception and complimenting Sheila and I on, as one guest put it, hosting such an "Elegant Affair." After all of the guests had left, Jacqueline had set out a table in the shade on the terrace, with food and wine, so that we could sit back and relax and just continue to enjoy the after-thoughts of the event that we had just experienced at Graydon Hall Manor.
We would just like to add that we had many, positive comments on the young staff members, and the fact that there was someone to, not only, greet the guests at the door, but even at the gates, someone to help across the courtyard some of our more elderly guests. Like ourselves, our guests were very impressed with the Manor and the gardens, as only one or two out of the 70 had ever been there. So full marks for all of the Manor staff; Jacqueline and her assistant, Bill, the Master Chef and his kitchen staff, the servers, the set up crew and anyone else who was involved in making our Celebration Reception such a resounding success.
Sheila and Naish McHugh,
