"Whilst planning the wedding we had visited several potential venues but chose The Old Vicarage because of the decor, grounds & relaxed atmosphere of the hotel itself coupled with a genuine feeling that the staff wanted to do everything they possibly could to make our day special. 
This they did over & above our expectations!"
