They were very flexible with us and we did our food tasting a year before as that was when we were over to visit. They let us decide on our floor plan and were extremely knowledgeable and helpful and let us know what would and wouldn't work. The food was delicious and they were able to deal with a number of allergies that a few of our guests had.

Given the price of the wedding, the venue should have mended a broken window in the orangery prior to our wedding and the organisation on the day could have been improved (i.e., instructing guests to watch the cutting of the cake/first dance etc.)The food was delicious, the staff decorated the venue beautifully, the staff were friendly on the wedding day, the location and stunning scenery surrounding the venue was outstanding (particularly the rose garden).

- TTerri and Daniel Meredith27/06/2016We recently got married at old down and wow the manor is amazing with amazing views.We recently got married at old down and wow the manor is amazing with amazing views.Emma has been nothing but helpful we originally were getting married at another venue but 2 months before wedding the venue suffered water damaged which then we found old down. Emma helped us so much in getting our wedding sorted in the very short space of time which took a massive load of stress off us. When it came to the wedding day she unfortunately had an injury to her hip but still came in to make sure we were all set for our wedding and to introduce Jason who would co-ordinate our wedding day. Jason was amazing so fun and helped our day go so smoothly even giving my future husband a shot of Dutch courage� to settle his nerves. All our guests said how lovely the venue and staff were.
