We are so glad we held our small wedding reception in the Garden Room at Friars Court. We were looking for a venue that wouldn't have a minimum restriction on numbers but also wanted it to be private and in a beautiful setting. Not easy to find! Along with Friars Court having a beautiful garden, Jeffrey decorated the Garden Room for us beautifully with a romantic woodland theme. He has been the nicest person we have encountered throughout our searching for a venue. With a wealth of experience he can recommend some fantastic caterers and photographers. We feel he went above and beyond any expectations. There aren't many venues that will cater for a small wedding party that will also allow private use of a lovely garden and personalised design service at a very reasonable price.

I want to pull all the stars out the sky and give them to you! Even then, that wouldn't be enough! Jeffrey, you simply are my fairy godmother. You were instrumental in helping to create the venue of my dreams - you have exquisite taste and a knack for creating shameless beauty in the smallest and even most insignificant of things. Although we met only a handful of times, I feel like I've known you all my life. You put together a breath taking piece from the muddled suggestions in my brain, and we cannot thank you enough. I would haven't done it any other way and would not have changed a single thing. Thank you for creating such a beautiful place for us to wed. I couldn't find the words to express how grateful we are for all the advice, and help you provided every step of the way. You went above and beyond anything we could have expected. There are no words. Just. Thank you!

We had an absolutely fabulous day in early July - such a stunning location, and having the ability to choose our own suppliers to have the day the way we wanted it was a massive bonus. We were lucky with the weather so managed to get married outside, which made it extra special. Jeffrey was great to work with throughout the whole process, and had lots of practical advice! Highly recommend

Can't recommend Jeffrey and Silver Pear Weddings highly enough. Not only is Friars Court beautiful by itself but Jeffrey really goes above and beyond to help you create your perfect wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better day.

We had the most incredible day, and it was absolutely perfect for us. Not least in a large part for all the assistance Jeffrey gave us.

The marquee looked fantastic, the barn looked incredible, although I don’t really remember it much – in the wedding giddiness everything really is a bit of a blur! Our guest have since have complimented us on how beautiful everything was, and that is largely down to Jeffrey (and Charles!).

Friars Court is a fabulous place to have had our wedding, and not just because the grounds are beautiful, but because the help provided was invaluable. We genuinely couldn’t have hoped for more. Our wedding day was memorable for all the right reasons, and we really cannot thank Jeffrey enough for everything.

We have to say a huge THANK YOU to all at Friar’s Court! We had the most amazing wedding day – it far exceeded our expectations, we can't believe how perfect it was. We chose this venue not only because it’s stunning, but also because of the complete flexibility it gave us in planning (how wonderful not to be tied to certain suppliers, or minimum spends!). That said, it was fantastic having Jeffrey there to help with suggestions, tips, potential supplier names…basically, anything we weren’t sure about, he could help with. It helped make the run up & day itself totally stress free. All our friends & family have been raving about what a stunning place Friar's Court is, and what an amazing day it was.

Both Ryan and I just wanted to say a huge "thank you" for helping towards making our day so perfect. We are both so happy that we were able to get married outside under the Rose Arbour. Ryan's shock at me walking down the aisle to Harry Potter was priceless. Friars Court was such a beautiful setting for our wedding ceremony and has given us memories that we shall treasure

Jeffrey at Silver Pear Weddings is simply wonderful - comes at everything from just the right angle with indespensible advice every step of the way. And the venue is just stunning. We didn't need to look anywhere else before making our choice. Superb.
