Venue Testimonials

“You all did a fabulous job. EVERYONE said it was a wonderful day, venue and atmosphere. Many people also mentioned how relaxed I was - most of this is thanks to you. Many other brides I talk to say they have multiple problems with venues and suppliers but I knew that with your personal touch it would be a great day - and it was! Everyone thought the food was amazing.

Mr & Mrs Smith, September 2009

“A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped to make our special day so perfect!! We all had a wonderful time and I've had so many comments from people about how amazing the reception was. The afternoon tea was just gorgeous...the Ritz couldn't have done better.”

Mr & Mrs Van-Zyl, December 2011

“A big thank you for making our wedding day so special! We had a fabulous time and the whole day ran smoothly thanks to you and your team. The staff were very helpful and friendly from the moment we arrived to the time we left and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and so much of it; everyone enjoyed their meal. Many of our guests remarked on what a wonderful venue and relaxed atmosphere the day had. I couldn't have wished for a better day, it was perfect in every way. I would definitely recommend Abbot's Hill School as a venue.”
