Thank You For Everything!

Please say a massive thank you to Emilia for looking after us so perfectly on Friday, and to the other staff who catered so well. 

Thank you for everything! 

I was worried in case we had over-calculated, but the room was full and it was perfect. 

Mum was really pleased with everything. 

The food was lovely and it was good to meet up with people that we hasn’t seen for a long time. 

Dad would have loved to be there!  

Thank you.

Thank You Again For Your Hospitality And Fab Customer Service

Firstly, we had booked another venue, but the vibe from them was not welcoming. I was recommended by Simon the Celebrant to give you a call, Harriet answered the phone, and straight away, I knew Stallingborough Grange was the right venue, for our extremely sad, sad day.

Therefore I wanted to drop you all an email to say a massive thank you, for your care, attention to detail, and the lovely food that was very much enjoyed by all.  Considering I had booked for 150 and we were more like 250, you didn’t panic, the bar service was super smooth and efficient, we went on longer, ordering more food and still, it was all served with a smile.

I have worked in hospitality for over 30 years and I pride myself on customer service, I always want every couple that we hold a wedding for and we do 200 a year exclusive use, to feel that their wedding is the only one that we are holding. I

Thank you again for your hospitality and fab customer service, it was much appreciated on what was an extremely sad day.

Emilia, if you would like to come down and work some Weddings with our team, you would be most welcome, you are a credit to Stallingborough Grange.

Thank you all again.

We Would Certainly Recommend You In The Future.

Myself, my sister, and family would like to thank you for the lovely buffet you provided after my mum's funeral.

The food was excellent and the service was second to none.  

Please convey our thanks to the wonderful gentleman that looked after us all so well he couldn’t have been any better. He is a credit to the Stallingborough Grange and we would certainly recommend you in the future.
