When we say perfect, we really mean perfect. Ashdown Park hosted the perfect wedding reception for us, we cannot thank the staff enough for the service they provided.

Everything was on time, coordinated to perfection, and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. Many of the guests saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to!

Milly, our coordinator, was truly excellent throughout, replying promptly to emails with any queries we had, and made us feel so calm and welcoming on the day. We cannot thank her enough for making our day so special.

We will never forget it and we will be staying every anniversary. Ashdown Park has a very special place in our hearts.

My husband and I just celebrated our wedding at Ashdown Park Hotel on Saturday 30th October. It was genuinely the BEST day ever!

Ashdown Park Hotel is set within an absolutely stunning building and grounds. The service of the staff was impeccable and we couldn’t fault it in any way! All of our guests are still raving about how beautiful the hotel is, and how amazing everything was! A huge thanks to the kitchen team, waiting staff and a big shout out to Tanya, Iona, Gaetan and David Blight the Toastmaster!

The venue is breath-taking. This professional friendly team really do know what they are doing to make a wedding super special ...I was completely relaxed knowing the incredible team had everything in hand. I'm so glad I choose Ashdown Park and we will return every year to celebrate our anniversary! Thank you so much.
TARA & CHRIS
From the moment we arrived for our first meeting with Tanya and the team, to the moment they waved us off the morning after our wedding, everything we needed was done for us. The venue itself is beautiful and has such character and we had the most wonderful day that we will look back on and treasure forever.
Colm & Helen
Excellent venue, fantastic staff and Tanya's help from the very beginning was superb...Thank you very much for a brilliant day.
CHARLES
We cannot thank you & the team at Ashdown Park enough. Our day was absolutely perfect. Thank you for our personalised dressing gowns too.

Everyone commented on how stunning the venue looked, and the amazing food and service. I honestly couldn’t fault anything.
NIKKI & MATT
"Our wedding coordinator went above and beyond to make sure our day was extra special and we cannot thank her enough for her efforts!"
HANNAH & SEAN
We honestly had the BEST day ever! Everything went smoothly (apart from the weather during the photos) and we enjoyed every minute!
Thank you so much for your card and for the robes (we love them).

Ashdown is absolutely perfect and everyone had such a lovely time!
The photographer said that we should have some in a week. He absolutely loved the hotel and scenery as did everyone else, it really is a magical beautiful place!
AMANDA & JACK
"Thank you" seems like such a low-energy response compared to what I am feeling right now. The weekend went by so quickly, and I am only now able to reflect on what a magnificent event we had.

The venue was stunning, the food was excellent - and everyone was so impressed with the venue. Although, to be fair, who wouldn't be? Room 1 was just fantastic, and the personalised robes after our ceremony were an excellent touch - one for which we are so very grateful.

The staff, lead by Dylan, were great and just couldn't do enough for us. People will be talking about last weekend for a very long time. We will definitely come back to our special place at some point; Ashdown Park Hotel is a part of our story now.
CHRISTINE
We want to thank you sincerely as we had the most wonderful day. Nothing about the day would we have changed. You and your staff really pulled out all the stops to make us feel very special and absolutely nothing was too much bother. To think that we would have the wedding of our dreams during a global pandemic was unimaginable yet you achieved it.

The venue itself was stunning, the guests were all blown away by the transition from downstairs to upstairs. We want to acknowledge your patience with our indecisiveness on the indoor/outdoor seating with respect to the weather and also accommodating the singer both inside or outside. Finally, the beautiful touch of the embroidered dressing gown gift in our suite was just wonderful. It really was a lovely surprise when we made it back to our suite after the day.
EMMA & RYAN
We cannot tell you how happy we were with you guys at Ashdown Park Hotel! You looked after us and treated us like royalty from the Thursday lunchtime that we turned up. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

Our wedding day was THE best day, it surpassed our expectations! And that was because of all of the staff there! The way you looked after us all...seeing things we hadn’t even spotted yet: providing a towel for the photos outside, a cushion for my Nan etc. It’s the small gestures along with the big ones that make the difference!

I could keep typing as we have been left with the best memories and that’s down to all of you! We haven’t stopped telling people how amazing a wedding with you guys is and we hope our recommendations make a difference. Our photographer Anthony even said you made him feel like a member of the wedding party and not a member of staff as he is made to feel at a lot of his venues.
