- NNicola & Rob18/10/2019Mr & Mrs Cairns WeddingMr & Mrs Cairns WeddingHi Katie, I just wanted to thank yourself and Christian for everything you have done. You were amazing and so helpful leading up to the wedding and Christian on the day was absolutely amazing. Drayton Manor exceeded our expectations and everyone commented on what an amazing venue it was. I cannot wait for the photos to come through as the room looked amazing thanks to Charlotte at Princess Occasions, the photographer said it was the best dressed/decorated wedding he had ever seen. Thanks for such an amazing day. Kind regards, Robert and Nicola CairnsHi Katie, I just wanted to thank yourself and Christian for everything you have done.

- MMr & Mrs Burnett08/04/2019A Big Thank You!A Big Thank You!I would just like to say a big thank you to Katie, Kate and the rest of the events team who helped in making our Wedding the most special day for us. Myself and my Husband dealt with Katie all the way through from booking the date to making last minute amendments in the week running up to the big day. Nothing was too much trouble and every question was answered promptly and everything explained well so we knew exactly what to expect. When it came to the day itself we had Kate as a point of contact throughout the day which was great and she guided us through our day seamlessly without a hitch. The only disappointment that we had was that as the weather was awful, we could not have any pictures taken around the park (which was a decision that we made), however, every effort was made for us to have our photos taken in an alternative location and arrangements were made swiftly and efficiently by hotel staff to accommodate this which was very much appreciated, especially due to the hotel being busy with the Christmas events being held. Kate oversaw every element of the day and made sure that it ran smoothly. Our guests complimented how lovely the food was and also the surroundings too. We could have not asked for more on our Wedding Day and the team at Drayton Manor Hotel ensured that we did not have to worry about a thing, we can't thank them enough.I would just like to say a big thank you to Katie, Kate and the rest of the events team who helped in making our Wedding the most special day for us.

- MMr & Mrs Dandy08/04/2019A Wonderful Wedding DayA Wonderful Wedding DayJust wanted to thank Drayton Manor for giving us a wonderful wedding day. Katie the way you handled the organisation and run up to the event keeping us updated and meeting our requirements was just fabulous, nothing was too much trouble for you. Apart from all the snow on Friday which I was the only one having a panic it all went beautifully. And the pictures look amazing. All our guests commented on the venue, food and service I really wouldn't have changed anything. Please thank the team who were fantastic on the day - again all our guests said the same. They even arranged to remove a whole table due to guest cancellations, so the room wouldn't look odd. The day went so quickly, and I really didn't get chance to thank everyone involved on the day it was just a whirlwind!! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone to have their wedding or any event at DM. Thank you again, Best wishes Christy XxJust wanted to thank Drayton Manor for giving us a wonderful wedding day.
