We visited Bruisyard on a bit of a whim after we saw an advert for a wedding fair at the last minute. We’d never been before and were taken aback with how beautiful it was as we drove up! The fair was brilliant and we got lots of ideas from suppliers and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We actually met Katie when we first arrived and she told us that the hall was open to look around or to have a guided tour. It was so stunning, we couldn’t resist! We were shown around and told about the intimate wedding packages, which sounded like exactly the kind of thing we were considering for our wedding.
As we drove away that day, we both realised that we’d probably just seen the place that we wanted to get married! This was never the purpose of our visit that day but the staff and the hall itself really charmed us. Despite a few visits to other venues, nothing could match Bruisyard and we quickly arranged to visit again and meet with Katie to discuss options for our day.
Once the planning process really began, it became clear we’d made the right choice. Katie was amazing and talked us through everything so clearly. At no point did we ever feel pressured into making decisions and we both felt like nothing was too much trouble for the Bruisyard team. From start to finish, Katie worked with us, answering our (hundreds of!) questions and making us feel like part of the Bruisyard family.
When the day finally came for our wedding, everything just felt so easy and relaxed. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. Our whole family were able to stay in the hall the night before, which meant everything was calm on the day. All staff were so efficient and things just seemed to happen without us even seeing anyone do them! We honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Even when the whole village had a power cut, we didn’t even notice! Within 30 minutes, a tractor arrived with a generator and nothing was delayed...if nobody had told me the power was out, I would have had no idea at all! Champagne kept flowing, canapés were served and the string quartet played whilst we all enjoyed the beautiful grounds in the sunshine.
A perfect time was had by all and we cannot thank Bruisyard enough. A family breakfast on the morning after the wedding just topped the whole occasion off and gave us more time to appreciate the incredible setting. We wouldn’t hesitate to encourage anyone to visit Bruisyard - wedding or not! But it really is the ideal setting for the day of your dreams.
