Testimonials – what our past couples say about us

Need help choosing your elopement venue?

Choosing your wedding venue for your elopement wedding is a big deal.

It might feel like you’re having a micro wedding but the venue decision is still a big one – am I right?

And it’s a decision you want to get right.   How do you do that?

Well these days websites are like the old school shop front on the high street – they give you an idea of what the business does and what it looks like.  Our website does just that for you, plus you get testimonials & rave reviews which you don’t tend to get in a shop on the high street – you don’t get past couples hanging around to tell you about their experience but with a website you get a load of helpful past customers – fab!

Navigating the website

Our website has a ton of stuff on it, hopefully everything you need to make your elopement venue decision. Yay!

There’s a downloadable brochure which you can get any time.  Handy huh?

There are FAQ’s so you can get answers to any questions you might have.

There’s an extensive gallery of real weddings that you don’t get on most wedding venue websites – it has real pics from hundreds of weddings we’ve held here over the last 7 years.

The gallery is arranged so you get the most recent weddings first and we keep them up to date so the weddings you see at the top happened only a few weeks ago – yep it’s that up to date.

The gallery is categorised by season, spring (March & April), summer (May & September), autumn (October & early November) and winter (November & December) so you can quickly check the season you want.

There’s also a handy search facility so you can put in the month you want to search for and those weddings on the gallery will pop up for you.

There’s a section to tell you exactly what’s included in the package.   And then more sections to tell you about the ceremony, flowers, photography, food & drink, accommodation and guests.  There’s a lot!

We’re also super clear on our pricing – no need to ask, it’s all laid out for you.   Pricing is in the brochure I mentioned above and we’ve also got a dedicated page to tell you about pricing.   How much for 2024 and 2025 and what’s included in that price, vat – the whole lot.

And of course we’ve got our online availability calendar which gives you up-to-the-minute info on what dates we’ve got left in 2024 and also 2025.

See I told you there’s loads of info to help you make your elopement venue decision.   But there’s more…

testimonials & rave reviews

One of the most important parts of deciding whether a wedding venue is for you is what other couples say who’ve already got married there.   And we have a ton of fab testimonials & rave reviews from lovely couples who can tell you just what it’s like to have your elopement wedding with us.

You can see the full page of testimonials here but I thought I’d pull out some extracts from some of the (rave) reviews we’ve had in just the last few weeks.

testimonial & rave reviews from Kathryn & Ben

“Booking with Lower Grenofen was an easy decision due to the exceptional support from Nicola. She quickly addressed my initial inquiry and provided all the necessary information, making us feel confident in our decision to book.

In the months leading up to our wedding, Nicola’s assistance was invaluable, given our short timeframe. She truly took all the stress out of wedding planning.”

Jen & Oliver, October 2023

testimonial & rave reviews from Jen & Oliver

“We recently had our dream wedding at Ever After.

From the moment we got in touch with Nicola she was extremely helpful and efficient at helping us plan our dream wedding. The beautiful thing about Ever After (aside from the stunning venue) is that almost everything is organised for you as advertised, taking the stress out of wedding planning for you. Nicola and the team really do deliver on this promise and make the whole thing a relaxing and zero stress experience.

We had such a magical day and it was everything we hoped for. Nicola made sure everything ran smoothly and created a very beautiful setting for us. The place was decorated beautifully and the food, flowers and photography were really 1st class. Everything was taken care of so we could relax and enjoy the day with our guests. I just wish I could have slowed down time as it all went so fast! But luckily we have the gorgeous photos from Clare to remember it by.

Lower Grenofen is a very magical spot and we hope we can come back in the future for an anniversary stay.

Thank you Nicola and team for making our day everything we hoped for and more”

testimonial & rave reviews from Jess & Liam

“We were drawn to the Ever After experience as we loved the idea of a small, intimate wedding with just our nearest and dearest present. The relationship the Ever After team have established with local suppliers was also a great advantage for us and saved us having to source various services ourselves. It meant we could relax and enjoy the whole experience. Our wedding was magical, it exceeded all expectations.

The setting is breathtakingly beautiful and the care and attention taken to ensure our day ran smoothly was absolutely fantastic. Every moment of the day was wonderful and will be treasured, but the ceremony in the wedding barn was particularly special for us and again the attention to detail helped create an out of this world experience that neither of us will ever forget. If we could do it all again at Ever After we would.”

Annaliese & Matt, September 2023

testimonial & rave review from Annaliese & matt

“Our wedding day at Nicola’s intimate venue was nothing short of magical, and we owe it all to her exceptional planning and hosting skills. From start to finish, every aspect of our day was a testament to her dedication and expertise.

What truly sets Nicola apart is her wealth of wedding experience. Her ability to tailor our day to make it enjoyable for both of us was remarkable. She understood our vision and made it a reality, ensuring that every detail was just as we had envisioned.

Nicola’s assistance in coordinating our suppliers was a game-changer. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran seamlessly, and nothing was too much trouble. The suppliers she recommended were top-notch, and their expertise added an extra layer of luxury to our day.

The entire experience, from the moment we booked to the final moments of our wedding, was nothing short of pure luxury. Nicola’s attention to detail and her unwavering effort to make our day perfect were evident in every moment. It’s rare to find a place where the experience exceeds the advertisement, and Nicola’s venue delivered in spades.”

We love our reviews

Aw we love getting reviews from our couples.  Not only because it’s great to know our hard work is appreciated but also I know they’re so helpful to new couples who are googling about and wondering if we’re their people.   (Note: If you like what you see on the gallery and the testimonials are what you’d like to be able to say afterwards about your own wedding, then yes, we’re your people.)

And the reviews above are just a tiny sample of what couples have said.   So dive into the testimonials and rave reviews and read more about us, what we do and why you should book your elopement wedding with us.

If you’ve downloaded the brochure, read the FAQ’s, waded through the real elopement wedding gallery and found a date to suit you on the availability calendar – get in touch!   I’d love to get you booked in and hopefully we’ll see you up on the gallery and post your testimonial too.
