Newlywed testimonial

"House of Elrick was the perfect wedding venue for us. The house and grounds are absolutely beautiful with lots of charm (we still have family and friends telling us so!). 

“Stuart and his team were so accommodating and such a delight to work with - no request was ever too much, and they even made time to get to know us personally. They co-ordinated with all our vendors (many of whom they already had established relationships with) which led to a very smooth and stress-free wedding day! It will always hold a special place in our hearts" - Hannah & Callum MacGregor, married at House of Elrick 11th May 2024
