The newlyweds, Mr and Mrs Till, shared their delight: "You made our wedding day so special - it was magical and unforgettable. We were thrilled to be the first couple to have our wedding at The Courtyard; it was an honour. Our guests couldn't praise the venue enough. The food was fantastic, and the staff were so professional and welcoming. The Courtyard truly is a hidden gem, and we're sure once the word is out, people will flock to you for all occasions. We hope many more happy couples get to experience what we did."

Another guest, Andy, added: "I attended the wedding of a work colleague - the first wedding at the venue - and what a wonderful experience it was. The room was tastefully decorated and well lit, with a cosy bar area that was clean and tidy. The staff were incredibly friendly and worked tirelessly to ensure everything went perfectly. The food was lovely - served piping hot, beautifully presented, and in generous portions. Everything was well organised, with no waiting around. If anyone is looking for a small and intimate venue for any kind of celebration, I can't recommend The Courtyard highly enough - it's well worth a visit."
