Perfect location, perfect day, perfect team. We fell in love with Stockwith Mill the first time we visited. Nichola and Kristi where both so inviting and the whole place had a lovely family focus around it. It didn’t feel corporate and the whole interactions felt very personalised and very easy going. The team clearly want to create a lovely experience for everyone instead of just taking your money and leaving you to it, which was so lovely to see. It’s clear that money is being reinvested into the place and it’s been lovely to see it change and develop since our first visit. The venue itself was perfect for our wedding, we were lucky enough with the weather and getting married on the field was truly special. Many guests were discussing how nice the venue was and it had a lot of breakout areas for just relaxing and enjoying the scenery, as well as dancing, drinking etc. Our photographer was spoilt for chose with picking somewhere to take photos as they were a lovely mixture of everything. We particularly enjoyed the marshmallows and fairy lights in the evening. Kristi’s hard work on the day meant everything ran smoothly. If there were any issues on the day, these where clearly addressed quickly and quietly as we didn’t know if anything had ‘gone wrong’. The band was set up with no fuss and the room cleared quickly for the evening. Kristi managed guests amazingly. For drinks there was a good choice available to all, we opted for the drinking package and then a few bottles on each table. There was plenty of choice and I particularly enjoyed my rose wine. We opted for one of the teams recommended wedding stylists and caterings. These where great and the food was amazing, the sharing platter and paella was amazing both in looks and tastes. Overall, we feel Stockwith mill is an excellent choice for a smaller more intimate wedding, within an exclusive, peaceful venue. 5/5

Stockwith Mill was our chosen wedding venue for our wedding in October 2024. The venue was everything we had dreamed of for our intimate, relaxed, outdoor wedding and provided the most incredible backdrop! Kristi, Simon, Nichola and the team were amazing right from the enquiry stages, through to the morning after the big day! They provided us with some choices for amazing suppliers, answered all of our questions and kept us to date with work being carried out to the venue itself. There are so many positives to the venue, beautiful photo opportunities, plenty of space within the grounds, the stable is a beautiful place to relax and the bar was very well stocked! Our wedding day was the most perfect day and we would love to do it all over again! Photography by David Cadden So to the Stockwith Mill team, Thank you very much from Mr and Mrs Gass!

What a beautiful venue! We married here on 3 August 2024 and the venue was perfect for our relaxed, intimate, countryside wedding. Nestled in Hagworthingham the venue is isolated enough for privacy and the tranquility of nature but convenient for local suppliers and transport. We were able to provide some decor of our own and also used some trusted suppliers we met at the open days. We were struggling when looking for venues with having 40 guests as we were either compromising on sharing space with other weddings/guests or we were concerned about the space being too large. Stockwith solved all of those worries with a cosy inside space for our wedding breakfast whilst having plenty of space for garden games, a fire pit and outdoor seating. The outside dance floor added an extra special touch to our first dance. Showers adorned our wedding morning but a plan B was in place and a swift move to the barn area made our outdoor wedding a possibility. Finally Kristi, Simon and Nichola were fantastic right from our initial enquiries, continuing through to the morning after. They supported our vision, helping it become a reality adding in their professional advice when asked. As someone who normally struggles to relinquish control, I felt completely confident and comfortable to sit back and enjoy the day. Kristi and the team ensured everything went smoothly and they went above and beyond with their attention to detail. I cannot praise this venue enough and Stockwith is a truly magical place to start married life celebrating with your friends and family. We would highly recommend you visit so you can see the magic for yourselves. A very happy and grateful Mr and Mrs Gray!

Stockwith Mill was our chosen venue for our wedding reception in August 2024. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and provided the most stunning backdrop to our wedding. The grounds are well kept and perfect for the kids to run around and have fun. The Stables are well presented and the bar was well stocked. Nichola, Kristi, Simon and the rest of the team were friendly, professional and welcoming from the first time we met them and ensure our day ran smoothly. There’s so many positives to this venue- plentiful parking, beautiful scenery, great team members, many photo opportunities, a relaxed environment, heated outdoor area, the list goes on! It was the perfect venue for our day and we’d love to do it all over again!

Beautiful flower crown workshop! Ruby was absolutely amazing when she came to run a flower crown workshop for my daughters 8th birthday party. She arrived well prepared and well resourced, providing fresh flowers and all the required equipment to inspire the girls to make stunning creations. She was friendly and professional. The girls were taught the skills and supported, by Ruby, to independently create their crowns with a step by step demonstration. I would highly recommend Ruby.

I attended one of Ruby's wreath making workshops this week. It was such a fantastic experience to put us in the festive spirit. Ruby provided clear step by step instructions, and was attentive to the group if we needed help. There was a great selection of quality foliage and decorative items to choose from. This allowed us to put our individual stamp on our wreaths. Looking forward to booking again next year !!

I come back every year as it’s the best form of festive therapy ever! Ruby is fantastic and always has the best selection of foliage and accessories to create the most gorgeous wreath. She is so friendly and welcoming. Couldn’t recommend more!

We stayed at Woodhall Manor for Christmas 2023- What an amazing place to stay for Christmas ! 4 families comfortably enjoyed the wonderful surroundings . The large spacious bedrooms , enormous dining room, bar and sitting rooms made our stay very memorable . The staff prepared everything ahead of our stay . The house was warm and welcoming and for a large group you would struggle to find anywhere better where you can all stay in one house , everyone with their own space. Thank you Woodhall Manor , we would definitely stay again .

We had a wonderful stay at Woodhall Spa Manor for my 40th Birthday. Having found it online, we contacted Richard and Jasmine to ask if we could come and see it and they kindly gave us a full tour of the manor house and gardens, and found that the website doesn't do it justice! The house is wonderful - in particular the bedrooms, bar area (great for parties and events) and wooden panelled snug rooms. The gardens were also extensive and ideal for families. We were in frequent contact by email leading up to the event and found Richard and Jasmine to be very helpful and patient. The birthday party itself was perfect, with gorgeous weather meaning our band could play outside in the sunshine, but it would also have been great in the magnificent ballroom as well - a wonderful all weather's venue. All our guests had a lovely time and many commented how great it would be for other events - Christmas time or a murder mystery weekend. Thanks Richard and Jasmine!

We was lucky enough to have the Manor for a full weekend for our wedding celebrations. We visited Richard and Jasmine numerous times before our big day and nothing was any trouble for them, they was always so welcoming. Everything at the Manor we could personalise to how we wanted our perfect day. Everyone that shared our day commented how amazing the Manor was and the gardens and grounds being beautiful. We was so grateful to be able to have our ceremony in the sunken garden which was so magical. We cannot thank you enough for the most perfect memories that we can cherish forever. Can we do it all over again next weekend?!

Rating: 5 / 5

We hired Woodhall Spa Manor for our wedding and the service we received during our interactions with the owners was 10/10. Richard and Jasmine were friendly and easy to talk to, as well as extremely helpful with everything. From recommending suppliers, to being available for extra visits, to helping out on the day as venue hosts they were excellent.

Review from a Wedding Photographer What a fabulous wedding venue Abbey Farm is and one of my favourite venues to photograph. Excellent facilities, gorgeous venue and grounds and amazing staff. Jo and Millie are an absolute pleasure to deal with. From a photographers point of view its a dream location for any wedding and not surprising its a Wedding Industry Awards Winner!

Rating: 5 / 5

As a wedding photographer, I see a lot of wedding venues and so I can say with absolute certainty that Abbey Farm is one of the very best. Completely unique and has so many beautiful spots for your wedding photos. From cornfields, to meadows to woodlands, to beautiful barns and even a 13th century church - they have the lot all in one venue. Wonderful and helpful staff are on hand whenever you need them too. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for everything & Mille my Niece is still telling everyone about ‘her friend Millie’ 💛. Would recommend 100% 😘

Katharine and Terry helped put together our dream of having our wedding in my parent's back garden in August 2022. Katherine was so amazing to work with and the marquee and furniture was absolutely beautiful. Couldn't recommend more - they were so quick to put a proposal together, very responsive to emails. And during the marquee put up / take down everything went really smoothly and the whole process was zero stress! Thank you so much to the whole Peacock & Bow team!

Rating: 5 / 5

I can't thank Katharine and her team enough, their marquees are stunning and it absolutely made our wedding day. There is always something (apparently) that doesn't quite go to plan on a wedding day but this was not one of them, the whole experience was stress free, professional and a dream. I can't recommend Peacock and Bow enough, they won't disappoint. It was worth every penny and I would not hesitate to book them again for an event.

Incredible! Olivia and I used peacock and bow for our wedding marquee and it was amazing! Everyone couldn’t believe the quality of the marquee and how beautiful It was! Katherine and team were brilliant from start to finish and the detail that goes into their work is incredible. Will use for any future events and recommend to anyone needing a marquee!

Katharine and her team at Peacock and Bow really made our wedding day on 6th May 2023 extra special. We had two marquees and they looked absolutely stunning. They were also brilliant because we had pouring rain and they kept our guests warm and dry! The level of service from Katharine and the team has been outstanding and I would highly, highly recommend them. Thank you Katharine and Peacock and Bow for being so fantastic and for being so lovely too! Olivia and James xxx

An absolutely stunning setting for weddings! I've photographed multiple weddings at Scrivelsby Walled Gardens, and have also attended a friend's wedding as a guest here, it's just wonderful. The space is gorgeous and the staff are very friendly. I love that every wedding I've been to here has been so different from the last. Can't wait to return this summer. Kat (KMGS Photography)

What a hidden gem of a venue. Absolutely beautiful. Gina and the rest of the staff were absolutely brilliant and helped our wedding day go perfectly. We can't recommend this place enough for a wedding venue. Go check it out on one of their opening days!

We spent a long time looking at companys who gave wedding marque services, at least 10 or so. I clicked and landed on the home page of their website and almost immediately felt a good feeling about what they could do for our wedding, owing to the country and rustic feel that they could offer through their designs and capabilities. We also noted that they were local in our county of Lincolnshire so we had to invite them out for a chat. We booked and never looked back. The level of service, attention to detail and design and personal touches that both Charlie and Lexi gave us was amazing. A lovely company and team, we could not have asked for anymore. Although we only had a very small wedding doo in our country garden, they went above and beyond in all areas. Very professional and for a very reasonable cost also. I would recommend Thoughtfully Outdoors over and over again....as the names suggests!...( Thoughtfully ) Don't hesitate, pick up the phone and give them a call, you will not regret it. Paddy & Lynne

Lexi and Charlie was amazing throughout the whole planning and hiring of their marquee for our wedding! They were super chilled and helped us with whatever we needed and was happy to accommodate us with any changes we wanted! The setting up was done in good time so we were not rushing setting up for the wedding. The marquee was beautiful and such a high quality the place looked amazing!!! would highly recommend anybody who is looking for a wedding marquee to book with these two as they are amazing!!! Thank you for all the help you and hard work you did! From the leavens x

Hosting 130 people in a marquee isn't something you do very often so it can be quite overwhelming knowing where to start. But as soon as we spoke to Lexi and Charles we knew we were in safe hands. They are an absolutely fabulous company to deal with, Lexi's communication was brilliant, responding quickly and thoroughly to correspondences via phone, email and WhatsApp as appropriate. This was very reassuring and gave us absolute faith in them as a company. When the time came to erect our marquee, Lexi, Charles and their team worked very carefully with great respect for our property. The marquee itself was absolutely beautiful. Charles's handcrafted tables, floor and bar elevated it even more. Lexi's advice on lighting and decoration was invaluable. We cannot imagine being able to create such a beautiful space for our wedding wedding without Thoughtfully Outdoors.

Contacted Charles and Lexi regarding a marquee for a 60th birthday party we were having at home. They firstly came to see us for a informal chat about what we wanted and how we wanted it to look. They had some brilliant ideas to help us. Once we confirmed a price, we booked a date around a 2 weeks before, to discuss and draw out a plan. Set up was very professional and efficient and made sure we had everything ready. As we were local Lexi came by to light the lanterns and candles. Packdown was also efficient . Thankyou for such a good service. Efficient, friendly and great attention to detail. Made the party one to remember. Very impressive and will definitely recommend and use again.

Our daughter got married in June 2024 and we were very fortunate to have been recommended Jess by Kate from our marquee company (Special Event Tipis and Marquees). We had got quite far along the DIY planning route when I realised as MOB that I wanted to be able to enjoy the wedding day and the build up to it without being overwhelmed with everything. My husband was quite sceptical at first about why we needed a coordinator as we had everything booked. This was mainly because he hadn't quite grasped what was involved, but after meeting Jess he was onboard 110% and he, like the rest of us, thinks she is fantastic and money well spent. We engaged Jess for her 'on the day management' but this is truly much, much more than just 'on the day' management and is an absolute MUST if you are having a marquee wedding. She is an experienced professional who has a very calm approach to everything. She stepped in 6 weeks before the wedding and from then on we knew we were in safe hands. She gave us much needed advice on a whole host of things and made everything run smoothly. She expertly coordinated with all our suppliers - of which there were many and all of whom were brilliant! She and her team (hello & thank you to the other Jesses) came the day before the wedding and set up the marquee. We went along to give a hand, but she had everything covered. She even had a kettle & made us all a cuppa! They came to the church rehearsal and then went back to the marquee to continue with the set up which enabled me able to spend time with my daughter and our family and friends, stress free, the night before the wedding, which is something which I would not have been able to do without her being onboard. Unfortunately, the weather on the day wasn't great . After glorious sunshine the day before, in true Lake District style, it rained on the day. We were so confident and comfortable with Jess's advice that we trusted her to her to make the last minute decision if the drinks reception would be inside or outside. She, together with Fran from Holker Hall, managed this beautifully and our guests have said that they were quite pleased it rained as it enabled them to have a look around the beautiful Holker Hall. Jess and her team were very professional and at the same time warm and friendly and it genuinely comes across how much they love their work. We had the most fantastic & fun wedding party and all our guests have said that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. I do believe we had the dream team of suppliers. Thank you so much Jess, it wouldn't have happened without you.

As a very indecisive and unorganised couple, we needed help so put our trust in Jess. Choosing Jess as our wedding planner was the best decision we ever made and enabled us to have the wedding of our dreams! Jess is so professional, organised and knowledgeable in every single department and we are so glad we hired Jess so early on in the planning. Jess has a wealth of amazing contacts and was always available to support us through the process. She is extremely hands on and provided a service that was worth every penny. Her and her team were phenomenal on the day and made sure everything went perfectly - she is also just a lovely person to spend time with whilst organising our big day! If you’re reading this deciding whether to enquire, absolutely do it! x

My husband and I got married in July 2024, and utilised Jess’ on the day wedding coordination package - but what her and her team give you is so so much more than that! We booked a venue which required lots of different suppliers (separate caterer, bar company, linen hire, port-a-loos etc….) and in the run up to it I said to my husband that I really wanted someone I could hand everything over to in advance so I could enjoy the run up and not be worrying about coordinating everything! Luckily, I’d met Jess at an event before we were even engaged and so she was the first person I went to for this help. And I am SO glad we did! She goes above and beyond for you to make sure your day is special and runs smoothly. I’ll never forget that I’d planned to tie the tags onto our favours the night before the wedding with my bridesmaids, only to turn up and for them to have already been done by Jess and her team without even needing to have asked. We had drinks “tokens” to hand out to our evening guests and I went to ask Jess for these in the evening to hand them out, again to find that they’d taken care of it already. They were one step ahead always on the little details, and knowing there was someone we could go to on the day if needed (rather than people coming to me or the wedding party) was truly invaluable. After our wedding I asked my partner what’s the one “non negotiable” you’d recommend to other couples planning a wedding like ours and we both agreed that it would be Jess and her team. I know my sister is also recommending her to friends who are getting married soon too as she was equally impressed by her! Thank you Jess and team for helping to make our day so perfect, we genuinely couldn’t have done it without you!

Jess and her team were amazing, they were friendly and so, so organised. Jess helped make the lead-up to our wedding run seamlessly, which meant we didn’t have all the stress of sorting everything out. As she is a wedding expert, she gave us great tips and advice about how best to set out our day, we wouldn’t have had a clue otherwise! On the day of our wedding, everything ran to time and went perfectly and she was a very calming presence for my husband when he was getting a bit stressed out. It was like a professional production and we could just relax and enjoy ourselves - we even forgot they were there sometimes! We would highly recommended hiring Jess to coordinate your wedding, it’s a no brainer really, you can have an amazing well-put together wedding and no stress!

Shelly was an enormous help to me in writing the eulogy for my sister’s funeral.She didn’t rush us in what we wanted to say about her .Shelly could pick up on how much my sister was a big part of our family ,and her words came across so perfect and sincere about our sister … I would would totally recommend Shelly she is a lovely person and committed to her profession… After the funeral Shelly had taken her time in printing out the whole service and gave it to me in a lovely white box with 2 small candles inside with ribbon tied around the box .This was totally unexpected but a lovely gesture from Shelly .💞💞

We recently had Shelley be our celebrant at our wedding and I cannot recommend her enough! She was amazing from start to finish creating such a bespoke and personal ceremony, we even gave her an extra challenge of announcing our secret to our guests that we were already married and she delivered!! We had lots of comments about how beautiful our ceremony was, it’s definitely a memory I’ll cherish forever! Shelley is the kindest most lovely person and her passion for her works shines through! We will definitely be using her services in the further for sure!! 💕
