Wedding Testimonials

Whilst planning, the whole team were so friendly and professional and couldn't do more to support our vision for our wedding. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and was always decorated perfectly to reflect the current seasons. Each planning meeting was well thought out and enabled us to think of things we may not have previously! I would recommend anyone to have their wedding or event at The Ferry House

Mr & Mrs Lamb

What really set the Ferry House a part was the staff, they were wonderful. Extremely helpful and attentive, especially our planner Sam, during the whole planning process she was brilliant and on the day she went above and beyond!

Mr & Mrs Sansone

We had our wonderful wedding celebrations over 2 days at this amazing venue. The facilities and location sold it to us, but the staff really made it a wonderful and stress free occasion. The prewedding team were professional and responsive to all our queries. Our planner, Sam, checked in with us in good time all the way through the process, and she and the team really looked after us over the whole weekend.
