  We got married in early March 2024 at the very beautiful Tythe Barn in Priston Mill and it was everything we’d hoped for and more!
  
  Katie and the team were incredible in helping us set up and made sure everything ran smoothly on our day, there wasn’t one time where we worried about organisation of the day at all. We were very much in good hands with Katie and cannot thank her and the hospitality team enough for all of their hard work to make our day as special as possible for us.
  
  The food was incredible and we had so many compliments on this from our guests too. There isn’t anything I’d change about our day and we’d choose Priston Mill again every single time if we could do it again (which we sooo wish we could)! The best day EVER????”

  I just wanted to say a massive thank you from us for everything that you and your team did for us to make our wedding day so successful and memorable. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better day.
  
  From the initial viewing to planning meetings to the delivery on the day, Charles and I have been really impressed with your service and appreciate all the fine details that you didn't overlook.
  
  All of the guests commented on the quality of the food. Some guests are still talking about the pork belly canapé now! Please pass on our thanks to your chefs.
  
  I appreciate weddings are what you do but we can only go by what you did for ours. It was an amazing day that you delivered everything you said you would do, great job Katherine.
  
  Thank you for helping deliver a day we'll never forget.

  We just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you for everything. Saturday was the most magical day, everything ran so smoothly and looked perfect. We really couldn't have asked for anything more!
  
  The barn looked so beautiful and the food was incredible, everyone said how amazing everything was! Everybody was so helpful, the whole day ran like clockwork and you even managed to swing the weather for us! ????
  
  We really had the best day and cannot thank you enough for how smoothly everything ran and how perfect everything was. On the day we really had nothing to think about, even Hannah didn't stress out about anything (and that is saying something)
  
  Thank you and if you could pass on our heartfelt thanks to the rest of the team as well we would be very grateful. Everything really was perfect.

  We had our wedding in the Watermill May 2024 and it was the most incredible day. As soon as I found this venue online I knew it was the right location for our wedding. We loved the gardens and the inside of the watermill is just as beautiful inside as it is on the outside. Communication was great from the first enquiry and they answered every question in detail every time.
  
  Katie was our coordinator for the day and I can’t thank her and the team enough. She was so understanding when I decided the day before that I wanted the chairs laid out differently and checked in on us throughout the day. Katie was so calming and reassuring, it made our day a breeze. I honestly had no worries at all and could really relax and just enjoy it.
  
  The food was outstanding, and everyone raved about the burgers in the evening - the best burger they had EVER had! Even pleased the picky eaters in my family.
  
  I honestly can’t praise Priston Mill and the team enough. Our wedding day was a dream and I wish I could do it all over again. Thank you!

  Just wanted to drop you a message to say the biggest of thank yous for everything you did for us on Saturday. We honestly had the most perfect day and a lot of that was down to yourself and your team!
  
  From start to finish you were a pleasure to communicate with and made us feel like nothing was ever too much trouble. You were professional and engaged and you really did put us at ease.
  
  On the day itself you and your team were phenomenal. Everything just happened so seamlessly, almost without anyone noticing - which is an incredible skill! You made the room look absolutely amazing too, bringing our vision to life! And please send our thanks and feedback to all of your servers - they were so attentive, seeing to all of ours guests so professionally, even just making sure the water jugs were constantly refilled - it was all done so professionally. And the team managed the dietary restrictions so well too - we had quite a few guests with requirements and your team managed it all without issue. And thank you making especially sure Adam and myself were taken care of - saving us some appetisers, making sure we had enough to drink, checking in with us on timings etc - throughout the entire day you made us feel like the guests of honour, and not the hosts - and that was all down to you.
  
  
  
  
  

• Lizzie and Thomas

  We just wanted to say a massive thank you for Sunday and for the whole planning process! You were so easy to communicate with and everything went so smoothly for us!
  
  We honestly had the best day of our lives and a big part of that was your team and Priston Mill being so professional and handling everything so well, so please do thank them from us too!
  
  We think we got everything from the lock up, but do let me know if we didn’t and also if you can let us know the bar tab outcome as well?
  
  If you do need anything from us like reviews or pictures or anything that is helpful for Priston Mill, we are more than happy to contribute!
  
  Thank you so so much again!!

  We had our wedding in May 2024 and it was an absolute dream. When we first visited Priston in 2022 (I think) we'd had a bit of a rough time with venues being wishy washy or dramatically increasing their pricing or not being quite what we had in mind. But we fell in love with Priston as soon as we saw it. We both wanted a venue that was beautiful, historic and had a lovely garden and Priston definitely was all that. Our wedding was wonderful, everyone said they had a fantastic time and we'd like to thank Katie and her team for doing such an incredible job - especially when we still wanted to get married outside, even though the weather the day before was terrible! They really made everything seamless, so we could actually relax and enjoy the day with our guests. Thank you again so so much.

  Amy and I just wanted to say a massive thank you once again for hosting the most amazing day for us and our friends and families. From the very first meeting with you, we knew we were in safe hands and you have been unbelievably helpful with all of my random questions and concerns along the way. The venue looked incredible on the day, so many of our guests have commented on what a magical venue it is – we knew we were onto a winner from the minute we first visited. The food was incredible and your attention to detail for our veggies and ‘allergics’ was incredibly gratefully received, and your staff were warm, friendly, and attentive at all times throughout the day. And finally, a special thank you to you Katherine! You seemed to be magically on hand whenever I need to ask you a question and I know you were working hard in the background throughout the day as you popped up in a few photos watching on attentively! Amy and I had the most amazing and memorable day and so much of that is down to you – so thank you.

  From Elliots mum - The venue is awesome - such a beautiful setting, but the entire team that work behind the scenes to make the weddings happen and run effortlessly smooth are AMAZING.
  
  My son got married here and it was a day that I will never forget.
  
  I highly recommend Priston Mill as the venue for your wedding.

  Early on in our wedding planning in 2023, we had arranged to see a few different venues just to get an idea of the kind of wedding we’d want. Priston Mill was the first venue we went to go and see, and it ended up being the only one we saw! From the get go, we fell in love with the Tythe barn and the team at Priston Mill – it ticked all the boxes (and then some) and we decided we couldn’t think of what a different venue would be able to offer that Priston wasn’t already providing!
  Katherine was our wedding co-ordinator, and we couldn’t have asked for a more attentive, patient and knowledgeable professional! She always swiftly answered our (many) questions and helped us realise our dream day. From the beginning of the planning process right through to the day, we always felt reassured that everything was in hand and that everyone was being taken care of.
  We opted for the BBQ food option as we wanted a more relaxed vibe, and the food far exceeded our expectations! Everything was beautifully cooked and presented (and props to the chefs for bringing the summer vibes on a slightly grey and drizzly English summers day!) All our guests have raved about the food – the sister of the Groom even said it was the best wedding food she’d ever had and that is quite the compliment as she has been to her fair share of weddings! We also had one guest who has a lot of tricky dietary requirements, and she was blown away by the food that was provided especially for her, in particular the dairy free cheesecake and the whole plate of appetisers that was given to her during the drinks reception. The attention to detail and care for each individual guest made us so happy as the most important thing for us was knowing all our loved ones had the best day!
  The entire day was magical and we have Katherine and the rest of the team at Priston to thank for that! If you’re looking for a dreamy countryside wedding with the best food, Aperol spritz’s and highly professional staff, look no further!

  Just a quick message from us to say what a PERFECT day we had on Saturday. It went so much better than we ever expected and planned, and we can’t thank you enough for all your organisation, coordination and help leading up to and during the day.
  
  All our guests commented on how stunning the Mill is and how amazing the food was, so we had a lot of happy guests. But most importantly, the two of us had the most amazing day, so thank you so so much.
  
  
  

• Ed and Lauren

  Good Morning Gabby,
  
  Thank you SO much for everything you did for us on our wedding day! You have been an absolute star throughout the final stages of our wedding planning. We had such confidence in you just from emailing, but when we met you the day before the wedding, we knew we were in the best hands.
  
  We had the most amazing day and your endless hard work throughout the entire wedding made this happen. You (and your staff) were simply outstanding. Your smiley, calm and professional approach to your job is a real asset to Priston Mill and we couldn't have wished for anything more from you, a truly fantastic Event Manager!
  
  The venue looked amazing and exactly as we had pictured it, our decorations were set up perfectly, we really appreciate your efforts in the morning! A big thanks also for sorting the cake when it eventually arrived. We had no idea it was being set up, but when we did see it, we were so impressed it had just happened with no interruption to our day.
  
  Thank you once again!
  
  Ed and Lauren - Mr and Mrs Grace, 20th October 2021

• Vicki Thomas and Ryan Higgins

  Thank you so much for helping us make our wedding day the best day of our lives! We fell in love with Priston Mill nearly two years before we got married! It is a perfect place if you want to a beautiful setting, with high ceilings and amazing features! Jake and the team did everything they could to make our day go perfectly and we cannot thank them enough! Everyone had a great day and they didn't stop complimenting the stuning wedding venue and food! I wish we could do it all again!

• Mr and Mrs Forrest

  Thank you for the most phenomenal wedding day! Kim was fantastic during all the organisation, her calm manor ensured we worried about nothing, even responding to emails the night/morning before at 1am! We met Jake on the day and can not thank him enough; he was fantastic and ensured the day was faultless. We were concerned that because you manage weddings everyday that it would not feel very personal, but how wrong we were! You made sure no question was too silly and that our day was so special and important. We opted for the "to dine" menu option and the food was amazing, and all our guests commented on how great it was. We can not thank you all enough, especially Jake and Kim. Can we do it all again?!

• Mr and Mrs Simmonds

  Thank you so much for the best day of our lives. The day went seamlessly and everyone commented on how beautiful the wedding venue was, and how stunning the food was especially the gravy! We couldn't have done it without you and meeting Chris for the first time this week he went above and beyond and couldn't do enough for us . Thank you both it was truly epic xx
  

• Frankie Hulbert

  We held our wedding reception at the Watermill and it was amazing. The venue is beautiful and I would thoroughly recommend going for a look. We were blown away when we visited and knew we wanted to have our reception there!
  
  The planning was well done - all our questions were answered and they kept in touch right through the planning process.
  
  Everything then went perfectly - the staff were brilliant at setting up exactly as we wanted (as we made most of the decorations ourselves) and the day couldn't have gone better. Everyone was great, the food was fantastic and we had the most brilliant day! Thank you Priston!

• Hannah Kennedy

  My husband and I got married in the Watermill on the 26th January 2018, it is such a fantastic venue I would highly recommend it to everyone. On the day, the venue looked fantastic, the food was amazing and all the staff were great. A big thank you to Paul who made sure everything ran smoothly. We both were able to relax and enjoy the day rather than worrying about where we supposed to be and what would happen next. Paul was great at taking us aside and giving us a reminder about would happen next.
  
  Kim was also very helpful at our planning meeting and Oliver was incredibly helpful when I emailed finalising all the details - no question was too much and nothing was left unanswered.
  
  I just want to thank all the staff for making our special day so amazing.

• Mr & Mrs Layman

  I am writing to express our thanks and gratitude for your excellent and professional job you did to truly make our daughter and new husbands wedding day one they will never ever forget.
  
  Your venue, food and friendliness of your staff were everything and more that we could have ever hoped and wished for and everyone who attended said it was one of or the best wedding they had ever attended.
  
  They all also agreed that they would have no hesitation in recommending Priston Mill as a venue for any forthcoming weddings in their families. Once again I must thank you all for you help and cooperation in making it a truly memorable day.

  Hope you are doing well. Just wanted to give you a huge thank you for everything you have done for our wedding. We had the most wonderful day and everything ran as smooth as it could have gone. Both Ginnie and Victoria have been a pleasure to work with and we really appreciate you making this easy and enjoyable for us.
  
  Everyone has been super complimentary on the venue and the food so it has been nice hearing that our guests enjoyed the day as much as we have. Priston Mill is the most beautiful venue! We feel very lucky to have our wedding at such a special place!
  
  Thanks again to you and Victoria! We are so grateful for you helping us create a perfect wedding day!

  What a fantastic venue for a wedding! Absolutely amazing staff, they were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. Food was a really lovely and well presented barbecue option, which was very good.
  
  Wouldn't hesitate to recommend, well done staff your efforts did not go unnoticed. Having stayed in some plush places before but the staff here deserve a bonus!
