Tythe was the perfect wedding for us and we can’t thank the team enough for everything they did to ensure our wedding day ran seamlessly. Everything about Tythe is perfect and all of our guests commented on what an amazing venue it was. Its rustic charm teamed with modern elegance is the most picturesque setting. Josie was the most amazing wedding coordinator both in the lead up to the wedding and on the day. Nothing was ever too much trouble and from our first meeting together it was clear that we were in the hands of an expert! The absolute taste team were fantastic and the food was delicious. The serving of the wedding breakfast ran like clockwork without a single delay. Tythe will always have a special place in our hearts as it’s where we had the best day of our lives. Thankyou to all the team at Tythe, we couldn’t have asked for more!
