  • Liz and Gary

    We chose the Forest Centre for the venue of our wedding and we made a wonderful choice as the day went off brilliantly the staff were great and couldn't have been more helpful the food was great as well. A special thanks goes to Helen who organised and coordinated this to a very high standard. All our guests spoke highly of the day and the venue. We can't praise it enough.

    On the 3rd of October 2015 my Husband and I celebrated the most amazing day of our life! From the moment Helen answered the telephone I could tell by the passion in her voice that this was going to be our venue for our Wedding Day! From start to finish Helen was amazing, she always had time for us and nothing was ever a problem, she took the stress out of all the planning and organising.

    On the day of the wedding I couldn't fault any of the staff, they were all extremely polite and always had a smile on their faces....even at the end of the evening when it came to the tidying!! They really helped to make our big day very special.

    The food was wonderful, we have had many compliments from our guests that the food was served hot and tasted great and I'm pretty sure everyone scrapped their plates clean!

    I can honestly say that from start to finish everything was perfect and I would very much recommend this venue to anyone who is starting to plan their big day!

    We came to see this as a venue when they had a wedding fair and both fell in love with it. Helen and her team were fab in keeping in contact on the lead up to the day, making sure we were happy every step of the way. Getting married in January we had to have a couple of different plans with the weather in mind, luckily the sun shone and we were able to have photos and drinks outside on the private patio area. We then went in for the meal which was served quickly and most importantly hot! There was plenty of food of a high standard, and even extra jugs of custard! The staff were professional, helpful and blended in so you didn't feel you were being watched. The evening was great, the resident DJ Gary had worked brilliantly padding around the 20 songs I gave him and keep the dance floor busy. The food was plentiful and I'm told delicious, I was still full up from the dinner and was busy dancing it off!

    We honestly couldn't have chosen a better venue and would recommend this 100% as a slightly different more relaxed venue. Massive thanks to Helen and all who were involved, I wish I could do it all over again!
