Thorpe Garden Testimonials
This place is a fabulous venue for a wedding, family gathering or even conference. The grounds are wonderful but what makes it is the staff team running the venue. They could not do enough for our daughter’s wedding.
— Father of the Bride, June 2024
We recently got married in the stunning grounds of Thorpe Garden and it's safe to say, it was the best day ever! Thorpe Garden was the first venue we visited whilst wedding planning and we knew from the off that it was the perfect place for us. Not only are the grounds so naturally beautiful, the staff are wonderful and the food is incredible. It was a very easy decision.
Throughout the planning process, we visited Thorpe Garden on numerous occasions, I even took my bridesmaids for a little preview. The staff were responsive and helpful. Our planning meeting went smoothly and they ensured that they had catered to our every need. The platform which you can message the venue is extremely useful as it allows you to receive prompt responses to your questions.
From setting up to clearing away, the staff couldn't do enough for us. On the day, we loved the relaxed vibe and all of the staff at Thorpe Garden made sure we had the most amazing day. I would highly recommend this exceptional venue. Our guests have commented on the gorgeous picturesque grounds, the wonderful staff and the out of this world food. Our day was an absolute 10/10 thanks to Thorpe Garden!
— Josh & Kate, May 2024
We just want to say thank you so much to everyone for being so amazing and supportive leading up to our wedding.
From the moment we stepped into the walled garden and met the team, we knew it was the venue for us and it has exceeded all our expectations. The venue is so well kept and the gardens are stunning. You have also all been so accommodating and are incredible at what you do.
Thank you for your wonderful service, patience and support throughout. Your communication leading up to the wedding was great and exactly what couples need leading up to such a big event. No question or query was ever too much and was answered in such a prompt manner, so thank you. Also, can we just talk about how good the food and drink is! All our guests kept commenting on how tasty it was!
We would recommend Thorpe Garden to everyone.
— Ellen & Zack, May 2024
We got married at Thorpe Garden in May. The venue was absolutely incredible and really made the whole day. The setting was gorgeous, the food incredible and plentiful and the whole team kind and friendly. Charlie was our day manager and Evie our night manager. Both had everything running so smoothly, we can't believe how every little thing went off without a hitch. Thank you so much!
— Emily & Harry, May 2024
Just had my Son’s wedding at Thorpe Garden. The setting and the food were amazing, so much food. There were loads of leftovers, and the duck fat roasted potatoes! The nicest meal I’ve had out in years. The staff are a credit to the venue. They never stopped and couldn’t do enough for us. The best wedding venue I’ve been to!
— Father of the Groom, May 2024
The whole team at Thorpe Garden are amazing. Answered all our questions and dealt with all our requests with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble.
All our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how incredible the food was. Everyone was buzzing about the food and even now they still comment on how great their meal was. I recommend going to a couple of Thorpe Garden fest nights. These evenings really do help with food choices but also how you would like the venue to be laid out if using the Pavilion for the wedding breakfast. We used some of Thorpe Garden’s recommended suppliers and were not disappointed. For us the venue was stunning enough we didn’t do too much. Definitely do consider Thorpe Garden, especially as Constantine House is now open and an easy walk at the end of the night. We had the best day and wouldn’t change a thing!
— Alana & James, May 2024
We may be biased, but Thorpe Garden is one of the most beautiful wedding venues we have seen.
Everything about Thorpe is perfect. The service and communication has been incredible through the whole process, starting from our very first viewing. Ourselves and our guests commented on how gorgeous the venue looked on the wedding day, and we hardly needed to add any flowers or decorations (but a big shout out to Tara Knott our stylist and Ivison Lichfield Florist for adding those special extra touches).
Thorpe Garden is the perfect venue for any type of weather, something we needed to consider for a British Spring time! The inside areas are breathtaking, with gorgeous large windows to give you that feel of being outside, and the outside areas are equally as beautiful. We were lucky enough that the rain held off for our wedding day so we could all enjoy the scenery and the well kept gardens.
The food at Thorpe Garden was definitely one of the highlights of our day, and something our guests still talk about now. The quality of the food service was excellent and I felt very confident that all of our guests' dietary requirements were taken care of. The open kitchen and outdoor pizza oven added that little unique touch and some of our guests enjoyed watching the chefs hard at work.
I would recommend Thorpe Garden to anyone getting married. It is a beautiful, stylish venue with a cool, informal vibe, all the while maintaining high standards and professional service. I really hope we are able to attend another gorgeous wedding at Thorpe Garden in the future!
— Thomas & Katie, April 2024
We had our wedding here Easter weekend 2024 and it was entirely perfect! The grounds were beautiful and the blossom made great photos.
Everything was easy and we felt well catered for, no request felt too much and the staff were highly accommodating. The venue is so gorgeous, fairy lights everywhere in the yurt, which meant we didn't have to waste money on lots of decorations. The food was incredible, we went with the rotisserie chicken which was delicious and the portion sizes were great. We actually had guests say it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Vegans and vegetarians were well catered for too. Lee was our coordinator on the day, he made us feel completely calm and at ease which was great. The team took care of all the set up which was guided by a set of instructions I typed up, this made me feel extremely stress free in the morning. They also collected all of our belongings and stored them in one place for us to easily collect in the morning. A couple of other bonus points included the make up house on site which me and the bridesmaids used to get ready in as well as Constantine House which has 21 bedrooms and a lovely open space to have breakfast together the next day.
— Natalie & Edward, April 2024
Back in February 2023, my partner and I met with Lee at Thorpe Garden, instantly fell in love with the venue and booked our wedding day there and then. Since that day, we’ve had absolutely no regrets as the staff have made each step of the journey so smooth and helped us to create our perfect day.
In the lead up to the wedding, the staff worked with us to answer any questions and ensure that our wishes and requests were catered to. On the day of the wedding itself, they worked with us and our families to create a magical day. The venue is so incredibly beautiful and really allows for a relaxed yet sophisticated occasion. We were so lucky to get brilliant sunshine and enjoyed the trees in blossom but, upon visiting the venue in any season, were in awe of how beautiful it looked. We feel so lucky to have celebrated at Thorpe Garden and wish we could relive the day over and over again.
— Josh & Ryan, March 2024
I cannot stress enough how fantastic Thorpe Garden are. The help, the responsiveness, literally doing everything to help us.
The food was amazing. The guests all kept saying it was the best food they have ever eaten. This was partly the reason we booked Thorpe. The venue is stunning, the grounds are beautiful. I would re-do my day again in a heartbeat with them. Thank you everyone!
— Emily & Jamie, March 2024
We had the most incredible wedding day, all thanks to the most exquisite venue and staff working tirelessly behind the scenes. As soon as we saw Thorpe, we knew it was the venue we wanted. The food is incredible, everything is on site and communicating with the team in the run up was a breeze. Everything was set up for us on the day, which you appreciate as the bride! We can’t thank the team enough. Thank you for everything.
— Victoria & Conor, March 2024
I photographed a wedding back here in 2022, it was the first time visiting Thorpe Garden even though I have been to all the other Cripps venues.
The main feature is the yurt in the centre of the venue, it was the hottest day of the year and this space is fully air conditioned which was so good, the venue staff were friendly and kept the water coming constantly.
The glass sided ceremony space was spacious and had great light. There were lots of places for couples portraits including some black shutter barns just outside the venues walls.
— Mark Horton Photos, February 2024
Beautiful venue. Amazing staff. Perfect food and a great home from home atmosphere.
A truly perfect all in one venue. Thank you Team!
— Wedding Guest, November 2023
I have recently been a guest and bridesmaid at Thorpe Garden and wow what a venue!
The grounds, the main building and just everything was perfect. The stand out points were the amazing kitchen, waiting and bar staff. Nothing was too much trouble, they were happy to make conversation and humour us more inebriated guests when we told them how much we loved them.
The food was incredible in the day - the canapés, main meal and the evening meal.
You feel like you’re at home and with the house just across the road it is the perfect one stop shop for the perfect wedding. Thanks to all of the team who made my friends wedding simply incredible.
— Wedding Guest, October 2023
We couldn’t recommend Thorpe Garden enough! It was everything we wanted for our day and more. The venue is out of this world and the food was incredible. All of our guests commented on how it was the best wedding food they have ever had. We can’t thank all of the staff enough.
— Sadie & Jake, September 2023
Our Son and Daughter in-law’s wedding day was just perfect ,the food was excellent ,accommodation was outstanding it was just a magical day full of treasured memories thank you to all the staff.
— Mother of the Groom, September 2023
We had our wedding day here and we honestly couldn’t fault a thing. All our guests commented on how amazing the venue is, the different areas you have to use the venue in different ways to make it your own. We also had so many guests comment on how amazing the food was! We would recommend Thorpe Garden 100%!!
— Sophie & Jonathan, September 2023
Thank you all so much for yesterday the staff, service and food was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for more. It truly was the best day of our lives!
— Sophie & Carleton, September 2023
We got married at the beautiful Thorpe Garden, the day couldn't have been more perfect!
The venue looked amazing, the staff were incredible and the food was delicious. (We still get comments about our wedding food now!)
Even when our photographers got stuck on the motorway on the way to the wedding, Lee helped us to stay calm and kept us both up to date with what was going on. Due to this delaying the order of the day, Lee gave us our options and sorted it all out for us. In a situation which could've been stressful- we didn't feel stressed at all. And that's all down to Lee and the team.
Evie then took care of everything perfectly on the night - which was fab as the Proseccos had started to hit us! Nothing was too much trouble, and she was amazing at answering all the random bridal questions I had like when I was meant to take my veil off haha!
We felt so at home and comfortable at Thorpe, and without the help of your fabulous staff our day wouldn't have been as good. We are so so happy we chose our special day to take place at Thorpe Garden. It was everything and more that we could've asked for!
— Isla & Christopher, August 2023
Thorpe Garden is the best wedding venue! We got married there in August and had the most fantastic day. The messaging system made it easy to organise and then on the day Lisa & Bailey our co-ordinators made everything go so smoothly. I don't think a single thing to do with the venue went wrong. Or maybe they just managed things so well we didn't notice. From early on we were put at ease, Lisa set up the venue with our decorations and instructions, it’s such a beautiful space. When I arrived and our registrar was running late, I was a little stressed and Lisa helped me to calm, relax and assured me it was not a problem. We and our guests LOVED the food, it was delicious, so much of it and everyone commented on how it was some of the best wedding food they'd ever eaten. The team made sure me and my husband were well looked after with drink and food to ensure we didn't miss out on anything. In the middle of summer Thorpe Garden is just the most stunning place, full of flowers and greenery. The next day the team had cleared out all our things into the snug which made it really easy to pack up our decorations into the car. Having Constantine House on site was great as it can accommodate up to 42 people, my husband was able to get ready there and I got ready at the glam room, also on site.
— Holly & Thomas, August 2023
Thorpe Garden was the only wedding venue we viewed and from the moment we stepped foot inside their beautiful grounds we knew we had to book our wedding with them. Tom, Cara, Charlie, Evie and all the staff were exceptional. We visited a few times and had lots of questions over the months of planning and everyone was so helpful, informative but most of all friendly and it truly felt like the staff here were genuinely excited for you. No ask was too much, emails were responded to quickly and effectively. Any questions answered promptly too. They make you feel like you are the most important people! We had such a wonderful experience planning our wedding and enjoyed a wonderful feast night at Thorpe Garden prior to our wedding. This is such a unique and intimate experience! On our wedding day Cara and Evie along with all the staff there took so much care of us and our guests. Everything ran so smoothly. So many guests commented on your amazing venue, food and service. Thank you so much for making this whole process seamless and exciting for us. I am just so sad to not be planning with you guys anymore!!
— Emily & Jonathan, August 2023
We just wanted to say a MASSIVE & HUGE thank you to everyone for everything you did for us on our fabulous wedding day.
Everything was completely perfect and you all made everything so easy for both of us and all of our guests. So many of them have told us that it’s the best wedding venue they have ever seen, and we wanted to say a particular thanks to Cara, Bailey and Lee for everything you did for our guests on the day.
The food was wonderful and honestly we couldn’t have asked any more of you all, we had the best day ever.
— Ashleigh & Samuel, August 2023
We had the most amazing day thank you to all of the staff for turning the room around for us and setting up exactly as we’d asked for, lots of guests commented on the staff and they all loved the venue!
— Megan & Joseph, August 2023
Thorpe Garden were fantastic when hosting our wedding. They were communicative and extremely helpful on the day in getting the venue setup to exactly how we wanted it. We couldn't recommend them enough!
— Emily & Joe, August 2023
We fell in love with Thorpe Garden the moment we saw it - and based on feedback our guests all did too! It's a beautiful venue, but that was topped off by the truly excellent, hard-working, friendly staff who work there.
Through the wedding planning process and the lead up to our big day I must have asked a million questions (sorry!), but the staff at Thorpe were always happy to help.
Following our wedding we've had so many comments about how gorgeous and unique the venue is, how delicious the food served on the day was and how helpful the staff were.
Could not recommend them more! We had the most perfect day - Thorpe Garden will always be such a special place for us.
— Izzy & Jack, July 2023
The staff at Thorpe garden are amazing at their job! We booked and organised our wedding all the way from Australia and Thorpe made everything so easy and stress free! The venue speaks for itself, we had the most amazing day.
— Denise & James, July 2023
Staff are friendly and welcoming.
The food is excellent.
The venue is beautiful for wedding reception.
The surroundings is so beautiful and the outside is very scenic.
The surroundings is so natural and it is so green everywhere.
If you can afford it, choose this place for the wedding or other parties.
— Wedding Guest, July 2023
We had an amazing wedding at Thorpe garden. All our guests loved the venue and food. The communication before the wedding was also great! Highly recommend.
— Sophie & Alix, May 2023
My wedding day was amazing, I couldn’t fault it at all and that’s because of the staff at Thorpe Garden. They really looked after us throughout our wedding planning, any questions or concerns we had they were more than happy to help us. Our day ran so smooth because of how they looked after us and made sure everything was done exactly how we wanted. Cara did a fantastic job being the venue coordinator for our special day - big shoutout to you and Lee for giving us a stress free day. I can’t recommend this venue enough, our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Oh also the food was amazing!!! I really could go on and on but thank you fantastic job you guys.
— Yaya & Javaughn, May 2023
I DJ’ed at Thorpe Garden yesterday for the gorgeous A&K. I DJ at a lot of lovely luxe and boutique venues but Thorpe Gardens was a particularly gorgeous venue. From the countryside drive in to the venue is so pretty. The Yurt is luxe and fabulous, the walled garden is magical in the day & evening. A great party in the evening, super sound system. Staff are fab. Highly recommend this venue and if you need to DJ to rock it please get in touch.
— DJ Deed, May 2023
Wow - where to start! The venue team were extremely friendly and helpful, and after our wedding planning meeting with Charlie we knew we were in safe hands. We saw the gorgeous venue in frosty January, and then saw it in bloom at our wedding in April with absolutely beautiful blossom. The set up was great in the Pavilion for our ceremony, and everything was done so professionally by the team. Cara was so amazing on the day, we always had a drink waiting for us and canapés kept aside especially for us too. We enjoyed that we could use the venue as a blank canvas but the decor and lighting already adds a level of ambience too. So many of our guests have since commented on how delicious the food was. We really can’t thank you enough for making our special day go so smoothly in such a lovely setting
— Alice & Jonathan, April 2023
We’re still very much on cloud 9 from the absolutely magical wedding we just had at Thorpe Garden on Easter Sunday. Wow! Cripps know how to organise an amazing wedding day. Everything runs smoothly, the venue is incredibly beautiful, food delicious and large portions, staff so accommodating and the event/wedding organisers are so experienced. There was no stress at any part of the day, that’s completely taken away from you and your job is to purely enjoy your special day. Honestly can’t thank the team enough for making it the happiest day of our lives. All of our guests had an absolute ball too and loved the venue. Recommend this place more than anything I’ve ever recommended before. Worth every penny!
— Lisa & Rob, April 2023
We had our wedding at Thorpe Garden in September this year and WOW - we 100% made the right venue choice. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests and some of them are even considering it for their own weddings.
First of all the venue itself is stunning, lots of photo opportunities and plenty of beautiful indoor and outdoor space. The food was perfect, pizzas in the evening were a huge hit! All of their communication was spot on, we had to move our original date due to my sister not being able to fly over from Australia - I was so worried we wouldn’t be able to but it wasn’t any trouble and the team were really understanding. We were allowed to visit the venue multiple times to make sure we were happy with everything we’d planned.
Charlie & the team were fabulous on the day, everything went exactly how we’d planned and they made running a wedding day seem so effortless - although I’m sure it’s much harder than it looked.
Highly recommend doing a taster evening, you get SO much for your money and it’s really helpful to make menu decisions.
Thank you Thorpe Garden for a fabulous day!
— Tesni & James, September 2022
What an amazing venue! We had a perfect wedding day and the guests are still talking about how amazing this venue was. We opted for the garden menu which was excellent value and delicious! You are able to design your day with the team from timings to table plans to decor etc and the team were fantastic right from the first contact. I’m shocked that more people don’t know about this place. They should! It had to be the only choice for us and on a much better budget than a few others we looked in to. We will never forget the day and neither will our families. Highly recommend!
— Bex & David, September 2022
We want to share our warmest of thank yous with you. We had the most amazing wedding day full of so many special memories with our family, friends and with the team at Thorpe Garden.
From the moment we arrived to see the venue late summer 2019 we fell in love with the gardens, pavilion and yurt. We knew then we wanted it. I remember sitting down with Tom and telling him this is where I want to get married.
You were all so accommodating & really listened to what we wanted & wished for and supported us with every idea & decision we made. We cannot fault the team at Thorpe Garden, we have nothing but positive praises for you all. You run a beautiful venue with beautiful spaces, outstanding food & absolutely fantastic hosting - so thank you.
Thank you to the amazing Charlie & Lee & the whole team who worked our wedding on the hottest day of the year - you were absolutely delightful to us and our guests. So patient and attentive to all their requests. Everyone was very complimentary of how professional and friendly you all were and they absolutely loved the food! The bar staff in the evening did a grand job of keeping everyone hydrated and we cannot thank you enough. Please know we will be back to enjoy the gardens for years to come.
From our special wedding to your very specials selves we thank you from the very bottom of our hearts.
— Diptesh & Dipika, July 2022
Where to start with the team at Cripps & Co and Thorpe Garden. We could not have been looked after by a more supportive team. We were reassured at all points and everything was taken care of in such a helpful fashion. Communication with the team was always effortless over the website and we always received prompt, detailed replies to our many, many requests and queries. Thank you.
Now to the venue and the day itself. My wife visited Thorpe Garden while I was away and immediately fell in love with the walled garden, the wonderful yurt and beautiful, open space. I visited a short while later and had the same thoughts. For two years, we dreamt of a lovely summery day, our guests walking around the garden and having a great time. The team delivered this magnificently. Perhaps the only advantage of having the wedding delayed was that the garden had time to mature and become even more spectacular than when we first visited.
In the run up to the day, Tom and his team including Charlie were impressively organised ensuring that all our requests were covered. Nothing was ever too much trouble including late requests for additional drinks at our reception and the late addition of guests.
We attended a tasting night and were always excited to get to try our food choices two years later. The food on the day was exquisite with the wide of array of splendid canapés all being perfect. Our main meal was superb as were pizzas to finish the evening off. Our guests were never left wanting for anything at all.
We loved Thorpe Garden, such a beautiful setting. The walled garden was utterly lush and we felt a great privilege being able to get married in the lovely outdoor area. Despite a little bit of the typical summer showers, the yurt and pavilion areas provided plenty of cover after which our guests could once again enjoy the lawns and other green spaces.
The service we received both before and during our wedding was nothing short of exceptional. We had face to face meetings several times over the years at the venue and were always met with a smile and a cup of coffee. Tom and Charlie have displayed professionalism and a true love for their work. Everything in terms of decorations and the set up during the day was handled with minimal fuss, it was clear that the team and the staff were experienced and highly capable. The day ran smoothly and perfectly to time and our evening wedding manager Cara continued to look after us wonderfully, dropping everything to get my wife a pizza.
Our guests have been hugely complimentary of the venue, service, food and staff. We're almost gutted that we can't return to do it all again despite the undoubted stress of organising a wedding. We will treasure our memories of Thorpe Garden and once again can't thank the team, especially Tom, for everything they have done for us over the last two years. Thank you for the most perfect day.
— Vicki & Prakash, June 2022
We celebrated my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding here and the day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The setting is absolutely stunning, the staff amazing, very professional and polite nothing was too much trouble. The food was so beautifully cooked and presented. Loved the canapés and cocktails! It truly was a magical day, wish we could do it all over again. Thanks again to all your wonderful staff.
— Hayley (Mother of the Bride), August 2022
The most professional, stunning, supportive, seamless wedding venue you could possibly ask for!
— Nicola & Laurence, June 2022
The most amazing place to get married! The venue is just incredible. So much space, all day guests did not stop commenting on how amazing it was. Really well looked after and the yurt was so special in the evening with the fairy lights and dance floor. The staff where brilliant too, especially Charlie and Lee, they were so kind and lovely to us all day. Made us feel so relaxed and took care of everything for us.
We could not have had a better day it ran so smoothly and we cannot thank you all enough. We just want to do it all again!
— Sarah & Harry, May 2022
Thorpe Garden was the perfect venue for our wedding. The buildings and surrounding grounds are stunning and immaculately kept. The staff were fantastic, both on the day and in the planning stages, and the food was delicious (we recommend the beef and chocolate brownie). You're in safe hands if you book this venue - we can't recommend enough!
— Liz & David, May 2022
What a place! After difficult couple of years, we decided to have a summer party for our staff. Although Thorpe Garden is a wedding venue, they threw us an amazing party. The venue is absolutely breath taking. Amazing garden, very nicely built yurt and building. Charlie and Tom looked after us so well. Music system was amazing, food service was first class. We will be back next year.
— Deniz, May 2022
Thorpe Gardens gave us the most beautiful wedding day! From the moment we first met with the team we knew it was the perfect place for us to get married. The venue is stunning and a walled garden and dreamy yurt full of fairy lights. The day went by so smoothly and the team thought of every detail. We did not have to worry about a thing! They thought of such thoughtful touches like encouraging us to have a private moment together after the ceremony which was one of my favourite moments of the day. Cara and Lee were our wedding coordinators and they could not have been more of professional and thoughtful. I would recommend this venue to everyone!
— Jenny & Thomas, May 2022
This wedding venue caters for all, the kids spent all day outside playing with lawn games, the beautiful grounds and outdoor seating were amazing for socialising and the yurt was more than big enough for drinking and dancing. The staff were friendly and so helpful, the feast was delicious and brownie was unreal.
This venue made our day perfect and everyone said how beautiful it was. Thank you so much to all the team at Thorpe Garden.
— Kelly & Jack, May 2022
We got married at Thorpe Garden just over a week ago and from the outset we received nothing but a friendly and professional service- from the initial show round to the actual day. We’re extremely grateful to all of the staff who worked so hard to keep everybody well fed and watered! All staff that we met were just so friendly. The food was AMAZING! There was just so much of it! And our guests commented on how delicious everything was- especially the pizzas! Thorpe is a beautiful venue and I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you to all.
— Sharn & David, April 2022
Where do I begin, we viewed this venue back in March 2019 before it was established and before the pavilion was even built. The lead up to the wedding, all our final planning meetings and little arrangements were made by Charlie who was always so helpful, understanding and friendly. On the day everything was orchestrated to perfection the day ran perfectly on time, and everything was as I had anticipated thanks to Cara and Lee. I can’t thank everyone at Thorpe enough for the 3 years of work that went into making our dream day come true. Our guests have been raving about the incredible food, the beauty of the venue and the gardens and the friendliness of the staff. Thank you for everything!
— Emma & Thomas, April 2022
We got married at Thorpe Garden last week and it was everything we had hoped for. Our original date was postponed but moving the wedding to our new date was made such an easy process by Tom. Communication from our first enquiry right up to the day was fantastic!
The venue and grounds are so beautiful and you’re spoilt for choice with the different options for where to have your ceremony / reception. From start to finish the day was so well organised and Cara, Charlie, Lee and the rest of the team couldn’t have done enough for us. We’d also like to praise the Chefs; the canapés and meal were faultless - so many of our guests were impressed by the food, we’ve had nothing but compliments. I’d absolutely recommend Thorpe Garden and a huge thanks to the whole team for making it our best day ever.
— Laura & Lewis, December 2021
The very best day of our lives!
We were one of the first bookings with Thorpe back in 2019 and they have been incredible. Honestly, they couldn't have done enough to make us feel like we were in the most capable hands and our day was more incredible than we could have ever imagined.
Cara and Lee were exceptional all day and ensured that my husband and I could enjoy every second. Genuinely, my breath was taken away when I arrived at the venue and I continued to be overwhelmed by the styling of the venue, the gardens, the food and the friendly team, who took such good care of us and our guests.
Thank you Thorpe Garden - we just wish we could do it all over again!
— Elle & Rody, September 2021
Amazing venue. Our son got married there in August and it was just fabulous. Lovely walled garden. Lovely food. Masses of space. The yurt was beautiful.
— Anne (Mother of the Groom), August 2021
We got married at Thorpe Garden last week and it was the most beautiful day. The food was incredible, the organisation was perfect. On your wedding day the last thing you want, is to be coordinating, but Tom and the team were so brilliant, we didn't even need to think about it. The online system when planning the wedding is so useful and so easy. I can't thank you all enough for the beautiful day you have us, in the most beautiful of gardens.
— Cat & Ross, August 2021
WOW! We could not be more impressed or blown away by the Thorpe Garden venue in all honesty.
We couldn't be happier to have the day that will live long in the memory.
The wedding food was high quality, service was fantastic throughout and the whole day felt so smooth, allowing us to fully focus on enjoying the day with our guests. On the day the venue looked stunning with the driveways tidy, gardens flowered and yurt itself is just a one of a kind place to hold such an event.
We're still getting multiple comments from our guests saying how unique, classy and well presented the whole day felt which is a reflection of the great job the whole team did.
We could not recommend this hidden gem of a wedding venue anymore and can't imagine there will be too many free slots if they keep delivering weddings like we got to celebrate.
Many thanks to all at Thorpe.
— Rich & Dani, June 2021
We booked this venue from drawings and a plot of land 2 years ago, so a bit of a wild card, we didn’t know how it was going to turn out but we were not disappointed. Tom and his team pulled out all the stops, making everything run smoothly. It was faultless, we couldn’t of asked for anymore from the team. Everybody commented on how amazing the food and venue were. We were blown away when we saw the venue all ready. Would do it all again tomorrow if we could. Friendly and professional staff throughout the day. Cripps certainly know how to do weddings and Thorpe Gardens doesn’t disappoint. You have to see the yurt to fully appreciate how amazing it is. Thanks again guys.
— Victoria & Ryan, May 2019
From our first meeting with the team at Thorpe, we were made to feel really special, and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. During the planning Tom and Jennie were so reassuring, patient and in constant contact with us so we never felt worried.
On the day of the wedding, everything was perfect and ran so smoothly. The food was the best wedding food we have ever had, the concept of sharing platters down the table went down a treat and encouraged guests to chat a lot more. People have not stopped talking about the food!! The yurt looked beautiful, and the sun even came out to play. We honestly could not have asked for any more!
— Emily & John, May 2019
Absolutely fantastic venue. Gorgeous place, very helpful staff, food was great. Such a wonderful setting for a wedding.
— Rachel (Wedding Guest), May 2019
Everything for my daughters wedding was perfect. The staff were so helpful - the food amazing - the venue beautiful.

We saw Thorpe garden before the building work had even started and we instantly new this is where we wanted to get married. The venue has turned out so much better than we imagined, the set up was easy and the staff were amazing beforehand and throughout leaving us stress free and making the day flow so well. Could not recommend Thorpe Garden as a wedding venue more highly. Everyone loved everything about the venue and the food is incredible (especially the Lamb!)

It was magical, the setting, the venue, the food and staff. Cannot fault a thing. Big thank you to Jenny and Tom for making it a day remember.

When we first visited Thorpe Garden in 2018 this venue was far from complete. However, coupled with the enthusiasm and support from Tom and Jennie at Thorpe Garden, we all fell in love with this totally unique place and knew that it was perfect for our Wedding in September 2019. We have felt privileged to be part of the Thorpe Garden ‘journey’ and to see everything come together to be the wonderful Wedding Venue it is today. It has to be viewed to be believed. It is a magical place! We are so glad that we chose Thorpe Garden for our Wedding Reception. It was absolute perfection!
Tom and Jennie were always so patient and understanding during our visits and we were very grateful for their expert guidance on all matters which made us feel that you were part of our family and catered for our every whim. We have had many comments from our guests about the delicious food and quality of the wines. Your catering staff were a delight. During the day and evening you were always on hand to ensure smooth running as well as personally looking after the happy couple. We miss our visits now and would like to have the day all over again. We will never forget you all and wish you every success at this amazing venue.

We booked Thorpe Garden when the building work was still being completed. We were sold on the ‘Cripps Wedding Blueprint’ and we were not disappointed! The venue is so beautiful with the greatest attention to the finest details - especially at night with all of the fairy and pontoon lights. The service was great and we had so many compliments on how great the food was. We went for the rotisserie steak and everybody absolutely raved about it! The whole wedding preparation process was so easy because Tom & Jennie are so helpful and the venue comes with a list of trusted suppliers who also did not disappoint. From set-up on the day to collecting everything back in at the end of the evening, we really had to do very little as it was all taken care of. The perfect wedding for us and we wish we could do it all over again.
