- Testimonial:
We were blown away with Whittlebury Park. We want to thank all of the team including the wedding co-ordinators, waiters, waitresses, bar staff etc. They were so so friendly, responsive to our questions, and nothing was too much trouble! The little touches including the golf buggy back to the hotel in the evening and the Rolls Royce to transport my bridal party and I from the hotel to the Orangery. If you’re thinking about booking Whittlebury as your wedding venue… don’t think.. just do it!!
