"We just wanted to pass on a massive massive thanks to you, Shirna and your team, you made the day truly special and faultless! We couldn't have asked for nicer, more gracious hosts or venue! I was so worried about how the day would fall into place after everything that has happened the past year and a half, but from the moment we arrived at the venue everything just started to work and we was hit by a wave of calm, your team took over and it was like a weight lifted from our shoulders. Also thank you for the extra care you all have taken and the personal touches you have given us! (and for helping me by carrying my dress before the ceremony) It is all the little things like this that will also stick with us in making the day so wonderful and memorable. You made us feel like one in a million! Everyone there yesterday commented on how beautiful the Venue was, how accommodating, friendly and helpful the staff were, and how beyond delicious the food was!! (a few saying they would return one day) (my friend has just booked you as a venue for her wedding next year and she was also floored by how perfect everything was and how smooth the day went, she's even more excited now and full of ideas!) Despite Covid and all the changes and postponements you, Shirna and your team have been amazing in making it as easy and smooth as it could possibly have been. We really really appreciate everything that you and your team have done for us. We will be back for visits in the future for sure!! "

Sophie and Jack

"We had our wedding here in July this year. It was everything we dreamed of! From the beginning the venue had been perfect with Mia and Shirna being detailed orientated and ensuring I had all of my questions answered within a timely manner. We were able to visit the venue a few times around the COVID lockdowns and this made the experience even better. The day before the wedding we had a hand over meeting that ensured all of the details for the wedding were set and that Mia and Shirna took over everything to ensure that we all details were handled by themselves and we didn't have to worry about anything. we had around 30 people stay over the night before and had an informal meal with them all to start the celebrations off early, this was a lovely way to start of the wedding weekend. We had our ceremony on the lawn and it was perfect with the view and the weather we honestly couldn't have asked for a better day. With the weather being so good everyone went and sat under the big tree once the ceremony was finished with their drinks. We had around 70 people to the wedding day and this was perfect for us. The food was absolutely perfect and we had so many compliments about it all! In the evening it was nice to spread in the hotel and outside with the sun setting it was perfect. The next morning we had breakfast with all our guests who stayed the night. Mia and Shirna ensured the whole wedding was exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend the horn of plenty to anyone looking for a wedding venue with a view, great wedding planners who ensure your every need and want is met, incredible food and lovely atmosphere."

"We recently got married at the Horn of Plenty and had the most perfect day. A truly memorable and amazing venue. The whole team made us feel so welcome and nothing was an issue. From the initial look around to the day itself the communication and attention to detail was excellent. Shirna and Mia were very accommodating with all aspects of our day, especially the last minute changes in the week leading up to the wedding. The food was delicious and we had many compliments from our guests. We weren't limited to a 'set menu' like menu wedding venues. We were able to sit down with Ashley the head chef and design a bespoke menu based around our favourite foods which was a lovely personal touch. The hotel rooms are lovely, all with individual character and very clean. We will definitely be back to stay for our anniversary.
