I attended a wedding as a supplier for the first time on Sunday. The venue is stunning! Set in woodland with a gorgeous lake nearby it is suitable not only for sunny days but also rain as there are plenty of covered areas to. The owners were lovely! As were the rest of the team who came and spoke to me after. I can see why this venue has nothing but 5 star reviews! If you’re after a unique woodland wedding you must take a look at Endeavour woodland weddings!
