Kelly has become a valued Friend of Thicket Priory via various training session which we have attended and also the Refine & Shine Programme. The combination of group training and the more personal programme working on a one-to-one basis with Kelly we have gained mass amounts of knowledge, guidance and invaluable advice which has helped yield amazing results as a new venue! We have come from a venue who was unsure or our target market, pricing strategy and how to achieve something different in a very competitive market...however now we are very clear of our target market, we have a very well thought through pricing strategy and have found our way very comfortably in both the North Yorkshire and UK wide markets! Over the past year getting to know Kelly and working with her has been a pleasure for the whole Thicket Priory Team, she has definitely earned her Gryffin Wings! Highly recommend both group training and one-to-one to help you achieve great things in the world of weddings...with Kelly by your side you cannot fail! Here's a few images from when Kelly was here for an event she helps to ensure was a massive success with UK wide wedding planners!

After starting a new role at a venue, I sought out someone with experience to review our product with a fresh perspective. Kelly, who came highly recommended for her private consulting, was the perfect choice. From our first contact, Kelly was exceptional—she made me feel completely at ease. We arranged a Zoom call where I shared details about our venue, my thoughts, and goals. The package included a full day on-site with Kelly, which was incredibly valuable. This one-on-one time allowed me to express my aims, objectives, and concerns, while Kelly also took the opportunity to educate me on the latest industry trends. The day was meticulously planned, covering each category in detail. Kelly compiled her insights into a comprehensive report with actionable recommendations for improvement. Her expertise and the personalized attention she provided have been instrumental in helping us move forward effectively. Thank you so much Kelly!

I worked with Kelly on a private consulting basis earlier this year to review our wedding venue business. It was so helpful to get a completely fresh perspective! Kelly helped to streamline our show round experience, refresh our response to enquiry emails and most importantly, identify our target market and create a unique tone of voice and personality that really shows our passion and family-friendly credentials. I have also joined Kelly’s ‘Wedding Venues Rebuilding’ community, which has been invaluable during the challenging circumstances of this year. Having other venues to share concerns, soundboard ideas, discuss the latest regulations and celebrate positive news with in a completely safe space is credit to Kelly.

We had the pleasure of working with Kelly earlier this year. Our day with her was invaluable and it was wonderful to chat and share her wisdom. We look forward to seeing what impact her ideas and suggestion make in the future. Thank you Kelly, it was wonderful to work with you!

‘It has been such an enjoyable experience working with Kelly, she exudes such excitement and genuine love for the wedding industry! Our team session was a fantastic way to refresh and regroup ahead of an extremely busy summer season, bringing new tips and ideas for future growth and development. We can't recommend enough how valuable it can be to bring a fresh set of eyes to your business, and we look forward to keeping touch!’ Hannah
