I had my engagement party at Cropley House on 17 Jan 2026. The venue is the most beautiful venue - I worked with Zabi and he made my vision come to light. The staff, especially Zabi was amazing throughout the whole process of planning my engagement party and made it extremely easy and efficient for me. Zabi was helpful through everything and even on my engagement night, he was there and ensured everything ran smoothly. The staff are all so lovely and the reception itself is extremely beautiful (indoor reception and beautiful outdoor area) All my guests had the best time & also enjoyed the food - the food was amazing!! I highly recommend Cropley House for anyone who is after a venue - I couldn’t have asked for anything better.
