Testimonials
The Most Special Day - Lottie & Ryan, 2026
Michelle, Bill, Jenny and the team at the Priory were exceptional from the start to finish. Having their advice/guidance on the wedding process, supporting us with planning our day - to the hour! Having a network of wedding day providers e.g entertainment, flowers, celebrants if we needed, they literally were able to offer so much information and help. Always at hand if I needed to call/message with a question.. or 100 , they were SO lovely and really made us feel like we were the only ones in the world. Whilst helping us plan our day, they completed loads of work to the grounds and even got the bridal sweet ready for us to use in time. The Bridal suite is beyond beautiful with dedicated space for my hair/make up to use. Not only this, they were all there on the day constantly checking in with us, if we needed anything but we can honestly say nothing could have been better. 100% a day we will never forget, we cannot thank the team enough.
Elaine and Ray, 2026
We had our wedding at The Priory Barn, Little Wymondley in June 2026 and could not have chosen a better venue.
The venue is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning barn, elegant gardens and ample unique spots for photographs. It was perfect for our day. We opted to have ceremony in the barn and dinner etc in the garden. It was amazing. Guests continue to tell us how much they enjoyed the venue. It is a rural venue which lends to the atmosphere while also being most accessible.
A huge thank you to Bill and Michelle, who were very accommodating and helpful. There were on hand at all times on the day which was super and it was brilliant the way they engaged with many guests ensuring everyone was having a ball. Their passion for the venue is clear to see along with the substantial investment and updates they have made since taking over in late 2025.
Massive thank you to Jenny, who from day one was so supportive, her vast experience is evident from her brilliant suggestions and tips along with her attention to detail. On the day her superb organisation skills meant that everything ran seamlessly.
Alan was the most brilliant chef who understood our vision, had really good ideas that we never would have thought of and on the day completely nailed it. The food was beautiful.
The staff on the day were outstanding—friendly, professional and attentive throughout.
