We got married here on 20/08/2016 at 11am in the clemency room, and reception in The Pavillion, we used Final Touch which are based in Field Place for the decorating of the Cermony Room and Pavillion, and they were amazing, the room looked stunning! And we have so many beautiful pictures, everything went like clockwork my husband met Mark the Facilities Manager at 9am who helped him with the final details and Lisa the events Manager who talked him through everything and helped settle his nerves, we had a two course wedding breakfast and a drinks package, the chef came out and introduced herself after the meal which was a nice touch and the food was beautiful, they had accommodated the children we had and catered for the fussy ones, the drinks package was pimms on arrival with a choice of red white and rose wine on tables, followed by a glass of bubbly for the toast, we purchased a drinks package for the children which was good as they had a flute of juice for the toast so they did not feel left out as well as soft drinks on arrival and during the meal, we were made aware when we booked of the option of a bar extension, we was not going to have it but changed our mind shortly before and paid the extra which was £175 for the option of 12 midnight instead of 11pm, we are so pleased we did because our guests did not want to go home! There was another wedding in the Barn at 2pm, but that had no effect on our wedding, in fact it was quite nice watching another bride and groom have their pictures taken in the stunning venue, staff really polite and hardworking, really cannot fault this venue, so organised from the moment I pulled up in the vintage Rolls Royce, to the moment we left at midnight, our guests said it was the best wedding they had been to, and we have so many gorgeous pictures to look back on, would not change anything about our special day! Food and canopies plus buffet was gorgeous, amazing staff, special thanks to Mark, Lisa and Kelly from Final Touch xx

HIDDEN COSTS. As the sister of the bride, I can truly say the experience she had organising her wedding was extremely stressful and quite frankly very poor. The venue for the wedding was gorgeous, I cannot fault that. There were lovely greens and well kept, stylish buildings. However, inside it was rather small and the father of the bride wasn't able to fully walk his daughter down the aisle due to the small width. In booking Field Place as her wedding venue, she paid the full fee upfront which, after the treatment she received from the organisers, I do not recommend anyone doing this in general let alone at this venue. The organisers missed calls, meetings and didn't respond to contact regarding the wedding arrangements. When the organisers bothered to attend scheduled meetings, it seems information passed to one organiser never made it to the other and so any arrangements made with the main organiser were not passed on. This meant having to spend time already allocated on detailing through certain aspects which had already been discussed. They were unable to show my sister examples of her table designs when they said so, having to use another wedding table and give a rough idea. There were many many hidden costs and clauses. Be aware that if/when you book this venue that it is not feasible to have your own caterers or food for the wedding done by yourself as the kitchen is not allowed to be used by anyone but the Field Place caterers. This means that you must use their caterers if you want a warm meal and pay for their package, something that wasn't made clear initially. You must also be aware that their drinks packages have hidden clauses, with one assuming a drinks package means a drink for all the guests. It means a pimms upon arrival and so if you should wish for soft drinks for non drinkers and children you must also purchase another package on top. Another hidden cost is the barn hall in which the day meal/evening party is held. My sister was instructed that she could have the hall until 11pm. However, several weeks before the wedding they told her she had the hall until 11pm but that meant everyone must be out by 11. This then meant she had the hall until 10.30pm whereby she then had to tell her guests to leave for the packing up process to begin. If she therefore wanted to extend the duration in the hall for an hour, it would have cost her another £200. During the day, the starter of trout happened to in fact be salmon, meaning the bride had to exchange her starter with her husband due to ordering trout and not liking salmon. Afterwards, the groom asked about the menu and they said that they had changed the menu for next year (however the 2017 menu is exactly the same) but seeing as they arranged a menu that is what they paid for. When it came to the evening time and the tables were packed away, they disposed of wine bottles the bride and groom had bought for each table and threw away the drinks upon the tables to clean them up, including a full drink the mother of the bride had purchased. The barman and women did not seem to know what they were doing in regards to this and no one knew who was in charge, such as not putting knives on cheese boards or people having correct cutlery. The bride and groom asked for their cake to be packaged which never happened, resulting in remnants of the fruit cake being presumedly thrown away. The next day they then went to pick up a whole tier of cake that was supposed to be given to the mother in law to be to told the cake was not there. The groom then asked for the managers to come and sort this out by which the cake happened to be found. Please also be aware that you must pay personal liability insurance to rent this place as they do not want liability for any injuries. If you like the look of this place and have a large budget I do recommend Field Place as it is a stunning venue with reasonable service. However, if you are like my sister and brother in law who had to save up lots of money and budget for specific details they wanted, it was a horrible feeling for them to realise they have lots more to pay for than initially thought. The wedding thankfully was beautiful and ran smoothly minus the incidents with the tables.
