I cannot let this wonderful occasion pass by without also expressing my thanks to you all at Clearwell Castle for a splendid day. I can easily see why you are one of the top wedding venues in the UK.

Would like to say a big Thank You to all involved in making the day so special.  The attention to detail was impressive from the moment we arrived to the minute we left.

The standard of food was excellent and commented upon by many of the guests. The beautiful grounds were such a highlight and commented upon by every guest.

Bride & Groom – Laur & Ryan

Wow, wow, wow! We had high expectations, and knew it was going to good, but oh my days you blew us away!

Laur and I wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone for all your hard work on our wedding, you were instrumental in giving us the best day ever, a day that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Checking on keeper’s cottage the night before, everything being done for us, making non-alcoholic drinks look fancy, carrying elderly relatives’ bags to their room, sending us extra pictures, the food… everything!

A special thank you to Laura for all your hard work running the day, it went so smoothly, and everything was so perfect – we couldn’t have dreamed for it to go any better.
