Our Couples Say...


Dear Lucy, Marina and the Newstead Priory Team,

We just wanted to drop you a note to say a huge thank you for making our wedding day so special and a truly wonderful occasion. We had a thoroughly great day and enjoyed every minute.

Lucy, from the minute we met that cold December morning we knew you were the lass for us and that Newstead Priory was the perfect venue. You have a certain intuitiveness about people and clearly love what you do. We knew we would be in the right hands and would be guided through the wedding process with ease.

Your undivided attention to detail and kindness made our day really feel like “our” day and not just another wedding. You have a genuine warmness and welcoming nature that made us and our guests feel right at home! You guys helped create a family orientated day full of love, fun and much laughter. You all played a huge part in creating a lasting memory and words cannot express how much that meant to us. It was amazing to be surrounded by all our family, friends, and not forgetting, the Newstead Priory Team. You were all part of the day, part of the party and the wonderful memories. Please pass on our sincerest thanks to everyone who helped on the day, everyone has commented on how approachable and genuinely helpful everyone was. Your team are a credit to you and I am sure you are very proud of them.

Marina… What can we say about the food??? WOW, there are not enough “yummy” words to describe the meal. Every single person (including us) thought the food was marvellous, cooked to perfection. Lucy kept mentioning how good the food would be, but we really had no idea just how good it would actually be! The food was good enough that those doing speeches forgot all about their nerves momentarily and got stick right in with gusto! The Belgian waffles were scrumptious, we are glad we came up with the pudding idea and stuck with it despite both mums’ reservations and desire for meringues as everyone loved the pudding!

Once again a massive thank you to each and every one of you who played a part in our special day at the beautiful Newstead Priory. The perfect day was captured and we couldn’t have wished for a better venue or a nicer group of people to look after us on the day. You will always hold a place in our hearts.

All our love and best wishes

Gillian & Jonny


Dear Lucy,

We would like to thank you and all your staff for making our wedding day the magical experience that it was.

We had a truly amazing day which really could not have been more perfect. The weather was, it seemed, ordered especially for us! Newstead priory was simply the most stunning venue for us.

Many thanks for all your hard work. The food was delicious and many of our guests have reported back that it was simply superb. The crème brulèe was to die for!!

A particular note of thanks must go to your staff, they were wonderfully attentive and he service was quite simply unbeatable. It was personalised and yet discreet. Thank you to all of them.

The day flowed perfectly and seamlessly thanks to you all. Our wedding day will be one of the most notable days of our lives. There really is nothing else to say except thank you very much.

King regards

Helen & Duncan


To the team at Newstead Priory,

Just a thank you, we attended Daniel and Rachel Mathers’ wedding last Saturday, my husband and I have never been to Newstead Priory before and we thought what a beautiful place, everything was so lovely, food and the service was outstanding.

Thank you so much for making this day so special!

With regards

Mr & Mrs Grayson


Dear Lucy & the team at Newstead Priory!

Paul and I just wanted to send a note to say ‘Thank you’ so much for the effort put into our wedding. The whole day was absolutely perfect – all our guests have commented on how professional everyone was, but also how personable and interested in the guests they were as well. It certainly isn’t a ‘job’ but a vocation for you all. From start to finish we felt in safe hands and that you really understand us as a couple and the suggestion of an evening wedding was perfect and gave us exactly the day we wanted!

Thank you so much
Suzanne & Paul

To Lucy and all the team,

Thank you for all your help with our wedding day. It was an amazing day. Everybody was so helpful and polite, we couldn’t fault the service.
