Reviews of Lakeside Venue

We had our wedding here and it was gorgeous. All our guests were wowed by the venue. Plenty parking , secluded for privacy. We had Louise (the owner) present through the entire day ensuring smooth running of the planned day , communicating and coordinating with the othet vendors supplying us that day. We had the best day here . The marquee is beautiful itself but there is also a pond with beautiful countryside views surrounding. Just perfect. I would highly recommend as the venue is beautiful,dreamy and speak for itself but also because how smooth and delightful the dealing was with Louise.

The biggest thank you ever goes to Louise for everything she done for me and still now puts up with me 🥰 planning a wedding during a pandemic was a crazy idea but Louise made it such an easy experience for us. nothing was ever to big of an ask and she would go out of her way to make things as easy as possible for us. Louise done an amazing job, and I will be forever grateful for how amazing the venue was. I gave her free reign and just said I wanted a more rustic look, and the rest is all down to her. me an my husband more or less just had to turn up on the day, which was perfect for me because I have no idea what or where to have even begun. How bloody amazing does this look though? Louise will now always be part of our lives ❤️

I had my wedding here and I could not be more in love with the venue. The place is gorgeous- tucked away from everyone in your own little bubble. The marquee is stunning and we got married outdoors by the like. The venue/food is outstandingly beautiful and the views are ideal for wedding photos!! Also, if you want a stress free wedding- I couldn’t recommend Louise enough! Her attention to detail is impeccable and made our entire experience so relaxing. Our day was perfect and I just wish I could relive it again!

I've been trying for a while to put into words how amazing lakeside and Louise at lakeside is. We had our wedding day there on 26.06.21 and it was honestly incredible. Planning a wedding during a global pandemic was not easy but Louise helped us navigate our way through and was there for us every step of the way. Whether it was contacting suppliers for us or thinking of new ideas so that our day wouldn't feel or look like a covid wedding, nothing was too much trouble for her or her team. Also she covers every single detail of the day, there is literally no stone un turned! She makes you feel like you're wedding is the only wedding in the world and cares so much that the day is perfect for you. The venue and grounds are absolutely stunning and so many guests told us how beautiful it all looked. We got married outside in front of the lake and it just took my breath away as I walked down the aisle. The food was incredible and plenty of it and again, many of our guests told us how lovely it tasted! The day itself just run so smoothly thanks to all the staff and was the best day of ours lives. Lakeside and Louise will always have a special place in our hearts and I feel like we've gained a good friend in the process of our wedding planning. I would have no hesitation recommending people get married here or have any event here because they will make sure you have the most special day ever. Thank you Louise and thank you everyone at Lakeside ❤️. Looking for an excuse to come back again soon!

This was the BEST venue by faaaar! I 💯 would recommend. My sister was able to have her dream wedding thanks to this venue and the people. Louise the event planner is the best person. She gets so involved and makes it so perfect. Everything wouldn’t be perfect without her. She took care of all of my sisters needs and wants! This is THE Wedding destination.

P. C.

What an amazing venue! As photographers, we see a lot of different places where people get married and have receptions. Few meet this standard of care! Everything was beautifully maintained and on point. The owners are just amazing, they care, really care that the day is perfect in every way! I can hardly believe that it's taken us so many years to go there and photograph a wedding. Here's hoping we get to shoot many more there!

A. E.

Thank you so much to Louise for everything you've done for us through our whole wedding process and the journey we took together through covid & the challenges it brought, don't know what we would have done without you. You are amazing and we really appreciate everything you have done for us Our Wedding was absolutely perfect, thank you for making our day so special, a day to remember It was a truly memorable weekend for all of us. Our family and friends thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful venue, delicious food and the brilliant service that you and your very friendly team provided. We received very good feedback from all our guests, & they had so much good things to say. We couldn't be happier So big thank you to Louise & her team at Lakeside Venue, we can't thank you enough

I got married on the 10 August 2022 at this stunning venue. Louise was so incredible and informative helping me through such a stressful process. TMy wedding day ran so smoothly all thanks to her and her team. They go above and beyond what is necessary. The venue is beautiful and unique as well as the excellent service given. Thank you so much xxx

N. B.

What can I say!! Louise and the team made our day flawless!! Nothing we asked for was out of reach even down to my father in laws whiskey!! The venue is unbelievable every little touch and detail was perfect! We couldn’t have asked for more. Our day will be one we will remember forever, we will always be lakeside brides and proud! The food was to die for I definitely recommend the bbq and pizzas! And don’t forget to get your guests some comfy shoes to dance in because they will need them! We love the whole team at lakeside and they definitely make us feel like a part of the family! My only wish is I could do it all over again and come to every wedding at the lakeside 😊😊

We came to the venue as guests to our nephew's wedding. This is a beautiful venue with the kindness and friendliest management and team. They went above and beyond all day, but especially for us. At the end of the evening when our booked taxis to go back to our hotel let us down, the staff rallied around to get us back to our hotel safely. We will forever grateful to them!!

E. O.

Wow! Being a wedding planner I have worked with many venues and venue managers and I have to say the Louise plus the Lakeside team come out tops!! I was privileged to deliver a wedding at this venue on Friday 15 July 2022 working with the amazing Louise! Words are not in the least enough to describe the experience! Louise and her team are what you can describe as people who stand by the terms ‘ Putting your clients firsts ‘. This was shown throughout the planning of this wedding. Nothing absolutely nothing was too much Louise. Despite my clients booking the venue on dey hire Louise and her team were on hand every single step of the way! If you are based on Wales and need a venue with 5 star experience don’t hesitate to book the Lakeside venue! You will 💯 in great hands! Thank you so much Louise, Carl and the entire team

I had the pleasure of getting married here in September 2022. There honestly aren’t enough words to explain how much this venue means to me. From the moment I stepped foot in the hunter suite I just knew this place was for me. The hunter was so beautifully rustic, the florals and the lights were just enough for the ceremony to be intimate and fairytale like and then the grand marquee! WELL what can I say the way Lou styles the venue was perfect, the centr pieces, the trees, the flower wall the bar just every final details was exquisite. Don’t even get me started on Lou, we went to this venue just to view it, never did I think I would be walking away with a friend for life. Lou made me feel like I was the only bride in the world, I had face times at 10-11pm at night, access to her extensive list of suppliers WITH DISCOUNTS and Lou gave her honest opinion on my plans throughout the whole process. The only negative I have is that I only get to experience this with her once. Lou from the bottom of my heart you really made our experience unforgettable. I dreamt about this day forever and you managed to help me make it a dream come true. Love you xxx

We held our wedding at Lakeside in June 2021 and we couldn't be happier at how the day went. We booked in 2019, not only for how beautiful the venue is but for the amazing things we'd heard about Louise. She was incredible with us from the first day and made our special day, held in the middle of a pandemic, a truly memorable occasion! She was always on hand to answer any questions that we had throughout the planning process and her attention to detail made sure we had the best day. The staff at Lakeside were brilliant, despite working through current restrictions and the wedding breakfast catering was beautiful. Our guests were certainly very happy! Thank you for everything Louise, we'd recommend Lakeside to anyone ❤️

S. J.

Absolutely beautiful venue, it's nicest wedding setting I've ever seen, it was perfect down the the little details, very welcoming, friendly and just a lovely place to be, I recommend it to anyone that was looking for that perfect day!! 5 stars 😊👍

B. H.

This is a beautiful venue that's ideal for people who want plenty of space (both outdoor and indoor). Its secluded location makes it feel really private, like your very own little resort. As a wedding videographer, I really loved all the different areas where people could socialise and party. The gardens are gorgeous, with plenty of places to sit and mingle, and the marquee itself is absolutely enormous. The venue's biggest strength however is the owner/manager. Louise is so incredibly passionate about her job and she genuinely loves her couples. She takes pride in making sure everyone's happy (including suppliers such as myself) and goes the extra mile to make each wedding unique and magical. Absolutely fantastic and I look forward to filming here again soon. Ben Holbrook Films

What an amazing wedding venue!! A hidden gem within the most beautiful settings and breathtaking views from every angle. Louise and the team strive for perfection which shows in every wedding I've had the pleasure of being part of. The grounds are spotless, the venues are maintained to a high standard and always made to feel so welcome. The weddings are always planned to perfection and the attention to detail by Louise is one of a kind, an absolute gem.

A. O.

WOW!! What an absolutely stunning venue and first class experience we had when booking our wedding party at this venue. We booked the grand marquee for our wedding party celebrations and from the very first enquiry to Louise we knew we’d chosen the right venue. Louise and her team are dedicated to making sure your day runs perfect and go above and beyond to ensure that you’re happy with everything. This is a family run wedding venue and you’re made to feel so welcome and relaxed and any questions or requests you have are answered almost immediately by Louise, she’ll give you the biggest cwtch and make you feel like a friend. We cannot recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a wedding venue, it is absolutely stunning and during what can be a stressful time organising a wedding, Lou made it easy for us. Thank you guys we had an amazing time at our wedding party and all our guests have said the same.

First of all, I want to say a massive thanks to Lakeside for providing us with a wedding we will never forget. Louise went above and beyond to ensure our day was not any less than perfect. Louise communicated and worked with us very well and delivered the venue better than how we envisioned. We highly recommend Lakeside and is sure no one will be disappointed. My wife and I looked at over 40 venues in Liverpool and South Wales. The second we saw Lakeside, we knew this was the one. Can't thank Louise enough for making it perfect for us and ensuring smooth running of the day. Also a bonus, this venue comes fully with different styles of decor and a bunch reliable vendor recommendations for all your other wedding needs. We highly recommend. Mevin and Ashlyn

The most amazing venue with 1st class service for my sons wedding on Saturday. From the time of booking, through cancellation due to covid, right through to picking up the cake on the Sunday morning, Louise & her staff went above & beyond to ensure everything was perfect. A beautiful venue with passionate staff who ensured they got the day they dreamed of but also making sure family and guests were OK too. Food was delicious & the desserts were to die for. Everything was perfect and I would 100% recommend Lakeside. Cant wait to attend another wedding there

My husband and I could not possibly recommend Lakeside enough. Louise, my guardian angel, completely outdid herself in every expectation we had. She cares just as much about your day as you do! From day 1 we were treated as though we were the only couple she was working with, nothing was too much or too little to contact her with. The venue itself is stunning, out of the way so you feel secluded but within very easy reach of hotels etc and also has plenty of parking! We had a small reception of 50ish guests in the grand marquee and Louise made sure to make it feel as though we filled the place! We had a gorgeous intimate garden ceremony with the lake behind us, sun beating down and the beautiful fountain to top it off. How could you want anything more? The food is outstanding, please do not be worried about going hungry, there's no chance of that! The deluxe bbq was such a hit with guests as we're the desserts and the loaded fries later in the evening. Our photographer was also exceptionally happy with the meals she was provided! The table setup was beautiful, the props the lights the decor. Everything! Our every need was catered to. If you want a certain prop, Louise is bound to have one there for you! We didn't find a single thing she couldn't provide for us! Louise and her team were on hand throughout the day and evening making sure that everything ran smoothly and on time, not to mention she walked me through every step of our day so that I was never unsure about what was happening. Her and her hubby even sorted out a problem that we had with the coach without us even needing to intervene! I could go on for days about how much care and thought Louise, Ayisha and the team put into your day to make everything perfect, but I will leave it at this; You will not find anyone who cares more than Louise does about your wedding going perfectly. She is perfect 💕 every venue needs a Louise! Thank you Louise from the very bottom of our hearts for making our day so much better than we could ever have even imagined! Xx

Absolutely stunning venue, highly recommend this service. Louise was amazing, could not have asked for a better service for my cousins exquisite wedding.

J. R.

Wow what a venue 👏 😍 👌 the pla e looked absolutely magnificent 👌 I was lucky enough to be crashing the most beauti6wedding here today .. The wedding coordinator was out of this world and went above and beyond to make my arrival a surprise , the food was fabulous . 5 star and above 💞💞💞💞💞

A. O.

Absolutely fabulous family run venue. Owners are amazing with detail to perfect decor. Highly recommended for any wedding

J. S.

The perfect venue for any event! Can not believe how lucky my now wife and I were in finding this hidden gem of a venue. The setting is so beautiful and calm. Louise worked tirelessly to make our wedding the day we wanted. I wish I could mention everything but I'd end up writing a book. All her recommended vendors were incredible too. The only thing I feel bad about is the fact words can't do Louise and her team at Lakeside justice. We can't recommend Lakeside enough and are looking for excuses to have another visit.

K. B.

Don't wear heels, so difficult to walk on the stones, found it very difficult to walk around, put me off getting up and mingling as I have a disability, someone did fall over and had cuts and buses, grass is no different, I understand it was a field but it really need looking at.

S. H.

Wedding day on the 21/08/2021 Louise Carl and the team were absolutely amazing. They work so hard in the run up and kept us sane! The day was beautiful , couldn't have asked for any more!

Recently got married at this venue and would recommend this place to every bride who wants to get married in South Wales. The venue itself is beautiful with the rustic converted barn and one of a kind marquee tucked away in it’s own valley, but for us that wasn’t even the best part! Louise the venue owner is THE BEST person to help you through your wedding journey from booking up until the big day and beyond. She lives and breathes weddings and will help your wedding visions become a reality. The time, effort and energy she will put into your wedding planning will make you feel like you are the only wedding she has on all year, a real personal touch. For us this was the first (and hopefully only!) time that we’ll be planning a wedding and so found it hard to know where to start, but Louise helped us through it all and was always there when we needed her. She would be happily be replying to our many many questions well into the evenings without a second thought or grumble. She’s always bubbling with ideas which we loved and absolutely enhanced our day (even commissioning our own wedding cocktail!), but would always at the end of the day make sure that everything was how you wanted it to be. A lot of credit to the rest of the staff at the venue as well for setting up and being brilliant on the day. The set up of the venue and ability to be married and have the reception and food all taken care of by one place was a massive plus for us. Our package also meant that we would be able to use any of the different decorations and table decor which they have in stock - great if you don’t want 10 versions of the same table decorations stored in your attic for the next several years! The package suited us perfectly with many more things included which I could list but I don’t think I could fit in one post! Overall a lot of things taken care of meant much less stress on our part. We wish we could give more than 5 stars and don’t think we could ever repay Louise and the Lakeside staff for making our big day so special, hopefully this goes some way to doing that.

As fellow suppliers in the wedding industry, we have never worked with someone a team so passionate about what they do! Louise and the team exceed all expectations and always go above and beyond to deliver! We love working at this venue and with such an amazing team! Not to mention the most scenic venue around South Wales! We cannot wait for the next one!

C. D.

Beautiful place, staff were amazing. Would give it 5 🌟 but had a little bit of trouble getting from car to door as I'm in a wheelchair, might think about tarmac up by the door, instead of the gravel. Other than that loved the place.

B. C.

I don't know where to begin in describing the wonder of this venue. When my husband and I started planning our wedding, we had no clear idea of what we wanted but we agreed that one of the most crucial things to us was that we felt a rapport with any supplier that we dealt with. After all, these people are sharing the most important day of your lives with you and it's one thing to trust them but another to want them actually there as part of the day! We looked at several venues but as soon as we walked into Lakeside, we knew it was THE ONE. We booked our wedding 2 years in advance and explained to Louise that we were on a tight budget and needed the 2 years to save up. She offered us so many options and alternatives to help us be frugal but as it happened, it was actually more suited to our taste and so we didn't once feel like we missed out on anything. I cannot praise Louise enough....what she does is just magical and the woman works like a machine! She somehow managed to pull out the thoughts and dreams out of my head and put them into the most beautiful setting I've ever seen. I didn't even know what I wanted until I saw it all together and through countless conversations and a blossoming friendship, Louise just knew! She was always at the end of the phone and replies so quickly at no matter what stage of your planning, whether it be 2 years away or 2 days away. She goes above and beyond in getting to know you and has a genuine passion in getting everything perfect just for you and after getting to know Louise, you can see that she would be so upset if she didn't give you that experience. In terms of the actual day, our guests were absolutely gobsmacked at the attentiveness of the staff and the lovely atmosphere created and maintained for the whole day. The food was beautiful and so well organised with so many choices and any dietary requirement catered for with a personal touch. Louise will completely look after you as a bride (and was even on hand to give us some Dutch courage when we needed it). She also goes to the effort of getting to know those closest to you and check on them so you know you don't have to. I could go on all day about the extra little touches but until you experience Lakeside as a Bride, Groom or even a guest, you just cannot appreciate it. We are so happy to say that we had the wedding of our dreams, we paid NOTHING close to what the 'average' wedding costs and we made a friend for life who will always be known as our fairy godmother. Thank you just isn't enough, we judy wish we could do it all again!

Lovely wedding venue. Food was amazing. Shame there wasn't accomidation, would have been 5 stars.

L. C.

Ive been a guest to a few weddings at this lovely venue already and cant say a bad word about my full experience. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food was very tasty and of high standard. The venue was dressed to impress throughout ..even the toilets were decorated and dressed out perfectly with candles and moisturiser to hand (the little things make a difference). And last but not least , Louise the wedding planner /organiser/perfector is AMAZING. She will give you the day you have dreamed of and more. She offers so much into her packages than any other venue and will be of the highest standards. If you have not booked an appointment then get to it :)

R. N.

I am so pleased I booked this venue before Harry and Meghan, because what a wonderful place. The food , service and welcome was superb. There was nothing too much trouble for the hostess, and believe me I can be VERY scathing when I have to, but I couldn’t find a fault so I have to book there again cos there must be something I can find to complain about, no, honestly 10 out of 10 on a serious note, amazing thank you so much

S. W.

A gorgeous place to be even in a gale and Thunderstorms. Lovely staff and you can tell it's a family run business. Just don't rely on dragon taxis to get you home. So many horror stories about them leaving people stranded .

T. L.

The most beautiful venue you could hope for. The staff - all of them were very efficient and friendly. A hidden gem. Everything was perfect.

T. R.

We had a fantastic night it was beautifully decorated and layed for us. Food was stunning and plentyful. Louise couldn't have done anymore to make our night special. Thank you so much!
