Hi all - first and most definitely not the last post from me!!
After receiving 72 wedding venue brochures for essex through the post, me and h2b decided we wanted to view 8 of them. We have just seen the last of the 8 today and in our mind there is one clear winner.
Vaulty Manor in Maldon was the prettiest, brightest barn, made me say "wow" as i drove up the driveway and kept me talking a squealing the hwole way home about how perfect it was. Plus with accommodation on site and a bridal suite, no corkage charges and four catering choices it ticked all the boxes.
Since our viewing none of the other places have compared for us (and we have seen some beautiful places) but there are one or two dodgy reviews on the internet about the cleanliness of the accom from guests who've stayed there and bar prices through the roof. There are also many many fantastic reviews... but to be honest I cant find much that is recent.
I've read everything there is to read about Vaulty Manor online, which is a little mixed - I was wondering if any fellow b2bs have been there for a wedding/ considered it themselves.
I was gutted to see complaints... but my guests are quite easy to please and not the least bit snobbery or expectant.
Have booked a second viewing next week to discuss my angst with the lady who owns it - i really hope she puts my mind at ease and then we can finally set a date!!!!
thanks for listening!!
