Testimonials

We cannot believe we got it all done in 16 days thank you so much

Betty & Simon, September 2011

We would do it all again if we could !!

Paula & Gavin, July 2011

Thank you so much it was an amazing day

Ursula & Bob, April 2011

An amazing day from start to finish we could not have done it without you thank you so much

Clare & Geroge, January 2011

Just amazing! How did you make the day so perfect in only four weeks - our guests are still talking about it every time we see them!

Kay and Will, November 2010

We can't thank you enough- Leez Priory was the venue of our dreams and we never thought we would be able to afford it. I know my parents have already written to you but I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you for making my dream come true!

Rachel & Dan, October 2010

I always knew I wouldn't be a girl to spend years planning her Wedding but even I was surprised when my husband-to-be suggested we book a real last minute deal at 5 weeks notice. It was perfect though- everything we wanted with no need to worry about the details because we knew you were! Just fantastic!

Shani & Elliot, May 2010

We are both teachers and so are most of our friends so a Tuesday in the February half term was perfect for us- and it saved us so much money- thank you all!

Donna & Ed, February 2010

As you know, we booked our big day only 6 weeks in advance and people thought that we were slightly mad but having done it, we would tell everybody to do it this way....and without doubt would recommend Leez Priory to everyone!

Johnathan & Natalie, November 2009

Thank you for the absolutely stunning wedding you held for our daughter and our son-in-law on 7th June. They only booked the venue 11 weeks before the wedding and we were amazed that they were able to organise such a perfect day at this short notice.

Claire & Sam, June 2009

As Mother and Father of the Bride, we would like to express our gratitude to everyone at Leez Priory for making our daughter's wedding a dream come true. We were surprised when she told us what a short time there was to plan everything in, but we can honestly say that it was all made easy with the help of her wedding planner, Zoe. The food was lovely, and the evening hog roast went down spectacularly. Our compliments to the Chef! We also wanted to say that the individual pride with which every member of staff carried out their role did not escape our attention, and deserves recommendation. That is truly what sets Leez Priory in a class of its own! Many thanks...

John & Tricia, January 2009

A fantastic wedding, at a fantastic venue! I would recommend Whirlwind Weddings at Gosfield Hall to anyone.

Peter & Linda, December 2008

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Having booked a 'Whirlwind' package only two months before our wedding date, we fully expected to have to lower our expectations, but that was not what we experienced at all. Everything was so much better than we hoped. We were especially pleased with all the unexpected little touches - for example, the complimentary bathrobes and special cocktail - that made us feel like the most important couple. We were also grateful for the extra attention the staff paid to our elderly guests. They really made sure that every single guest was happy.

Wu & Yoni, November 2008

We wanted to send our especial thanks to Elise for planning and managing our wedding for us. She was so calm and collected, despite some wobbly moments from us, and really contributed to making the day perfect. She made everything clear and easy right from the initial booking, and set any fears we had to rest. Whirlwind Weddings really is first class!

Elaine & Timi, October 2008

I was delighted with everything about our Civil Partnership ceremony at Gosfield Hall, despite the weather! The food was fantastic, the venue beautiful, and everyone there was so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble! I will definitely be recommending Whirlwind Weddings to my friends.

Lucy & Tom, September 2008

We just wanted to let all of you at Clearwell Castle know how grateful we are for all the hard work and effort that went into our Big Day. You made it look so easy! Our guests commented that the Castle was beautiful and they couldn't believe we had arranged our wedding so quickly, so smoothly did everything run. Not once did we feel we had compromised by booking a discounted wedding package. It was all wonderful!

Ingrid & Gethin, July 2008

Thank you so much for helping us to have our dream wedding! It really was the perfect day...

Alexa & Graham, June 2008

We had some initial reservations about booking a wedding at Leez Priory a MONTH before the actual date, but we are very glad we took the plunge and just decided to go for it! The opportunity was too good to pass up. We have no regrets at all as we could not imagine our Wedding being better even if we had taken years to prepare.

Christopher & Kavita, May 2008

We attended the wedding of a friend at St Audries Park last year and immediately decided it was where we would one day have ours. We expected to have to save for a long time for the perfect 'package' but were delighted to find that there were last minute wedding dates at great prices. It has all happened so fast (with less than 6 weeks to prepare) but the big day went without hitch. So many of our guests have said that ours was one of the best weddings they had ever been to! We are grateful to all the staff at St Audries, especially our Front of House Manager Becca, for making the preparations and the wedding day itself so stress-free and fun. Thank you!!

Lisa & Tom, April 2008

I have already started recommending Clearwell Castle to my friends and family! The Castle and the grounds are absolutely breath-taking and waking up in the cottage overlooking the castle really made it feel like home for the day. It was the best day of our lives!

Emma & Wil, February 2008

St Audries Park is simply stunning and I feel very privileged to have had my wedding day there. We had two months to plan our wedding and although I thought this might make it harder for planning the details of our day, it was actually no more difficult in terms of suppliers than planning a wedding a year in advance. I doubt I could have had the same sense of everything coming together had I not had a 'Whirlwind Wedding'.

Susanna & Charlie, January 2008

I cannot imagine having had our wedding at any other venue, Clearwell Castle is stunning and we felt so lucky to be able to welcome our guests to our castle- even if it was only for one day! All of the administration staff were so helpful, as were the staff on the day- nothing was too much trouble.

Rebecca & Paul, December 2007

All of the staff are a credit to Gosfield Hall, but especially Sue. She made us feel really at home and relaxed both in the planning and throughout our wedding day. She was basically our very own wedding planner but because she has done so many weddings at Gosfield, she knew exactly what we would need and what would suit our budget.

Susy & Peter, December 2007

We told everyone that we had had less than 6 weeks between booking and the actual day and they really could not believe it. I knew from looking at the website and from the amount of weddings they do that the castle would be ready even if we had got married the next day!

Emily & Paul, August 2007

Our day at Leez Priory was fantastic, and everyone complimented us on our choice of venue. Our guests were quite happy to wonder around the lake and grounds, and the ducks kept the kids entertained for ages! We felt like we could leave the day in the capable hands of Suzy and enjoy being with all our friends and family for a once-in-a-lifetime day.

Mark & Maria, July 2007

People told us we were mad to book a date two months before our wedding, we knew what we wanted and dealing with Leez Priory was so straightforward. We really felt like there was nothing else we could ask for, there were no aspects of the day that had not been thought out, in short it was perfect! Looking back, I think that the more time we had, the more we would have been baffled by all the options out there and instead we went with our gut instincts on what would suit us and we had the most amazing day.

Lucy & Liam, June 2007

We can't thank everyone at St Audries Park enough for our fantastic day! We have had so many people telling us that our wedding was the best wedding they've ever been to and I think that we would agree!! The food was amazing and there was so much of it too, we really felt like our guests were well looked after and they really did enjoy themselves! Now we just need to make up a reason to come back!

Faye & Robin, April 2007

Our wedding at Gosfield Hall was truly a day to remember. We got a fantastic discount through Whirlwind Weddings and we had a fabulous day! We really felt like it was our home for the day and that we could relax in the knowledge that everything was being taken care of for us. One of the best parts for me was waking up with my close friends and family around me for our first day of married life (and a delicious breakfast!).

Cheryl & Mark, April 2007

We had a marvelous day and thought that everything was dealt with very professionally and we were very happy with all decisions made with relation to our day- we had total confidence in all the staff we dealt with at Leez Priory and had nothing but good feedback from our guests.

Layla & Patrick, March 2007

St Audries Park was by far the best venue we had seen and although we know there are weddings there all the time, it felt so private and serene. We decided to take up a late availability date through Whirlwind Weddings so that the money we were going to spend on the venue, we could spend more on food, drinks and decorations which completed our theme.

Gillian & Paul, March 2007

I can honestly say our wedding day was the best day of our lives! We had a fantastic date at a much reduced price and I would absolutely recommend Gosfield Hall to anyone who wanted to get married. Although I already knew of Gosfield Hall, seeing the inside of it was amazing and we knew it was the venue for us."

Helen & Andy, February 2007

St Audries Park is a beautiful wedding venue and we feel privileged to have held our wedding there. We only had 9 weeks to plan but Doreen was fantastic and we could not have asked for a better day.

Hayley & Mark, January 2007

We were so excited when we started looking at wedding venues, but pretty soon we realised that our budget did not match our ideas. Then we came across the Whirlwind Weddings site and saw Gosfield Hall. It was everything we could ever want in a wedding venue. We booked a date for 2 months time and got going with the planning. All the staff at Gosfield were fantastic and their expertise took all the stress out of planning a wedding at such short notice. I wish we could do it all again, we had the day I have always dreamt of at a price that we could afford on our own. Thank you so much to everyone at Gosfield Hall.

Annabelle & Dean, January 2007

Thank you so much to all the staff at Gosfield Hall for making our perfect day happen in just 6 weeks!

Phil & Debbie, July 2006

We booked our wedding at Clearwell Castle in February 2005 and got married in late March- just 39 days to plan! I thought it would be really stressful to organize everything at that late notice but it was brilliant- really helpful staff, lovely venue and lovely food. There is absolutely nothing I would change about the day- I felt like a Princess getting married in a castle!

Sophie & Harry, March 2005

When my Fiance said he wanted to book our wedding at St Audries Park at only five weeks notice I thought he was joking! We knew people who had married there but we hadn't even asked for their brochure as it was way out of our price range. At the Whirlwind price, though, we could afford it and we did get everything organized in time. St Audries staff were really helpful and I got the amazing wedding I've always wanted. It was a gorgeous wedding venue- our friends are still saying it was the best wedding they've ever been too- thank you.

Sally & Liam, September 2004

We married at Leez Priory in August 2004, we had 3 1/2 weeks to arrange it as we booked their whirlwind package. If we could do it all again we wouldn't change a thing! Zoe took care of everything, venue fantastic, food fantastic and even the weather was fantastic.
