Plum Park Manor Testimonials

  • We got married at Plum Park in October 2023, and it was amazing. The day could not have gone smoother, the whole team knew exactly what they were doing and really supported us through the day. The lead up came with meetings to plan, along with help to ensure that we had everything ready for the big day. The communication from the team couldn't have been better and we honestly felt really supported throughout the lead up. The food was the best, and all our guests enjoyed the food (no one left hungry!) The rooms at the venue were lovely, very clean and comfortable, and breakfast the next morning was amazing! I would definitely recommend Plum Park as the place to get married, they honestly will do everything they can to make sure you have the most magical day. Thank you so much to the whole team!

  • We had our wedding at Plum Park on 30.09.23 and it was the most amazing day!
    The venue and grounds are absolutely stunning. All the guests loved it. And ones that stayed remarked on how lovely their rooms were.
    Siobhan is so helpful in the planning process and replies to emails super swiftly. She makes helpful suggestions and shares her thoughts and expertise.
    Ella and Jo are fantastic people and they just make the day perfect from start to finish. Everyone noticed how attentive they were. They were always there in the small snippets of the day just supporting us and being kind, it was nice to see them laugh at our best man’s speech too.
    The food is great too, after the food tasting me and my husband were as excited for the wedding breakfast as we were the whole day. All the guests loved the food too.
    Breakfast the next day is a great touch too and a nice way to have a laugh about the day before with our nearest and dearest.
    A huge thank you to all the other staff who I haven’t named who made it so fantastic for us.
    Overall I cannot fault anything at Plum Park. It was just the best day!
