Wedding Testimonials

A selection of testimonials provided by some of the happy couples who have married at The Cock O'Barton.

Alethea and the team out did themselves, from the day we first approached you about having our wedding at the COB, the planning could not have been easier. You made the whole process very relaxed and the day itself lived up to our expectations and certainly surprised our guests. The venue looked unique and intimate which was what we were hoping for. The staff were calming and in control and could not do enough for us.

Our rooms were lovely and a nice place to escape to at the end of the night.

We can't thank you enough for everything you did to bring our special day life.

Firstly thanks to Alethea, we met several times and had many emails back and forth as I had lots of questions! Nothing was too much trouble. We asked for a couple of things out the ordinary for our wedding day and Alethea sorted them out with no hesitation. Alethea made us feel really relaxed throughout the whole planning stage.

We had the marquee which was great! It was so flexible as we could decorate how we wanted and were able to do so the day before.

On the big day the staff could not have looked after us any better. They were attentive, polite and did everything with a smile. The staff really did make our day extra special as nothing was too much trouble. Many of our guests have also commented to me about how amazing the venue, staff, food and atmosphere was.

We genuinely had THE BEST DAY, everything went to plan and I can't thank the staff enough.

I absolutely loved our time at COB on Friday! Cannot thank you guys enough and were literally gutted its over!

You did an amazing job finding homes for all the decorations and so chuffed how the marquee came together with the lights and flowers. I was blown away, it looked absolutely gorgeous!

Well done for assembling the cake-hope it wasn't too stressful!

All the food was on point. Lots of compliments on the wine and the venue generally. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. All the staff were so helpful and really lovely and it didnt go unnoticed.

Thanks for the Ashmore Acoustics recommendation-what lovely guys! We had so much fun with them and danced until the end!

Rooms were all superb-it was brilliant location wise for putting our son to bed and leaving him in the care of the babysitter while we could all enjoy some off-duty time!

All in all thank you for making our wedding the best day it could be!

Thank you for your patience and helping us make it happen!
