Amazing venue, amazing staff, amazing food, amazing day!
We got married at The Italian Villa 2 weeks ago and it was the best day ever in every aspect. The staff are phenomenal and so professional, from Hannah who helped us plan aspects, to Drew and Steph who enabled the smooth running of the day, to the service provided by the catering team it was amazing. We found it was such good value for money and they went out their way to help us with everything. Beyond that, the venue is perfect, having 3 floors and beautiful gardens. There is nothing I would change about our wedding day, mainly down to how good our venue was and how smoothly our wedding day ran. Thank you so much!

The best roast they ever had!
Hello Frankie, Chris and I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help in ensuring everything went to plan last Sunday; from replying to our many questions via email over the last three years, always being at the end of the phone, to ensuring the numerous dietary requirements our guests had would be catered for. We can’t thank you and the villa team enough, our meal was beautiful and lots of people commented and said it was the best roast they’d ever had and that the dessert exceeded their expectations. We couldn’t have wished for a better day and we are so grateful to yourself and the team who always went the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect on the day.
