""When we first saw Tonedale House many months ago, we felt sure that it would make the ideal venue for our wedding - our choice has been vindicated and our expectations exceeded manifold. Our guests enjoyed their meal seated on picnic rugs by the river - everyone said it was the most fantastic wedding ever! The memories will last a life time.""

"Well, we've returned from our honeymoon resumed the daily toil, yet still have a glow about us! What a fantastic wedding party the Big House Co gave us. The venue is perfect. The catering was a dream, my cousin declared it to be the best wedding food she had ever had. They were never phased my our peculiar requests, changes of mind and many meetings, but always smiling and accommodating."

"Thank you once again for organising the weekend of our lives. All our guests said it was the best wedding venue they had ever been too. The Saturday flowed perfectly, there was such a buzz in the air. Your staff were great too. I'll never forget looking into the marquee after the Celidh dancing had finished - the dim lighting, the marquee sides open, the bunting, hay bales and flowers looked just perfect. Everyone looked so relaxed."
