Lillibrooke Manor & Barns Reviews Summary

Venue and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The venue is absolutely stunning, the gardens & flowerbeds are immaculate which helped create some beautiful backdrops for our photographs."
• "This venue is stunning and so versatile for weddings."

Cons:

• "The Manor House is way too expensive and I think it should be included when paying over 10 grand for a venue!"
• "For large parties it's astronomical and the lack of toilets again pushing the price up as you have to rent portaloos for large numbers of guests."
• "The bridal prep room is quite dark and was not spacious enough for 5 of my bridesmaids - it was quite messy that morning."
• "Very annoying that guests have to remove their cars before 10.00am the day after a function."
• "The gravel was slightly hard to push on but manageable."
• "It was a little difficult getting my mother's walker across an area of small pebbles."
• "Came here for the first time in nearly 10 years and nothing has changed other than a lick of paint."

Staff and Service

Pros:

• "The staff were absolutely lovely and very helpful-this makes such a difference to the day!"
• "All of the staff were so accommodating from start to finish which made our day run perfectly!"
• "The team were absolutely amazing, Kate, Jaz, Vincent, Rachel and all of the team on the day couldn’t have been any better!!!"
• "The staff are lovely and cannot do enough for you."
• "Service was absolutely top and staff polite and friendly, canapés were beautifully crafted and formal food was superb."
• "Every single member of staff go above & beyond to create a wonderful wedding for you."

Cons:

• "Service was dreadful. Food was probably nice when it was hot, but it was at best lukewarm when it arrived."
• "Our only negative, was surrounding the issues of postponement and at times, unhelpfulness of the management team."
• "We had a few famous people at our wedding and unfortunately the staff ambushed them to have photos. This was not professional and they did not even ask me as the bride if it was ok."
• "Meal started at 7.30 but it was 11.30 before we got pudding!"
• "Could do with bigger toilets to avoid queues."
• "Our Prosecco ran out, me and my husband didn’t actually get our drinks."
