A Dream Come True - A Perfect Wedding Reception Venue & Host. My partner and I recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding reception at St Andrews Conservatory, and we couldn't have asked for a more magical and memorable experience. We had a day wedding starting at 1.30pm and added additional flowers arrangements to the rafters and with the blue sky's shining through the conservatory glass roof it made for an enchanting atmosphere. The service provided by the venue staff was truly exceptional. From our initial inquiry to the final moments of our wedding night, they were attentive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of. Jasmin was a godsend with her organisation skills. She was genuinely invested in our happiness.

We had a June wedding with both ceremony and reception at St Andrews. Susan and Kiara were fantastic throughout the whole process - from initial enquiry to the wedding day. The day itself ran so smoothly and stress-free that the only issue we had to deal with was what drink we wanted to celebrate. The St Andrews team had the venue set up how we wanted it with all the decorations we dropped off prior to the wedding. They coordinated with all our vendors to ensure everything was perfect. The food was fantastic & we really liked that our guests got to choose from a pre-selected menu rather than alternating dishes. The staff were fantastic and very attentive, always checking in to see how everything was.

Could not recommend more! From our very first meeting, the Team at St. Andrews, particularly Jasmin, Kiara and Susan, went above and beyond to accommodate what we wanted on our special day. Nothing ever seemed to difficult, they were always responsive and made us feel totally at ease. The venue setup was perfect, they helped us with our First Look and kept things running on time. Both Jasmin and Kiara were superstars on the night, they ran around to make sure we both ate and went back and forth to help me change etc. no task was too difficult. Our guests are still talking about how wonderful the food, drinks, venue and staff were. This venue was an absolute standout - it’s naturally beautiful, very affordable with no hidden costs and you absolutely get your money worth tenfold!! We wish we could relive the night over and over. Thanks again

We had our wedding reception at St Andrew's Conservatory in November 2023. Brilliant location, friendly staff, great food. All our guests commented on what a great venue it was. We would highly recommend this venue as a reception location

Honestly, St Andrews was simply amazing and we were so lucky to stumble upon it. The communication was great, the coordinator was so patient with my millions of questions, and the staff were so incredibly helpful setting up my décor (except items at heights) and dessert tables. The space was beautiful (those lanterns, I love!) and the package is so inclusive, you could literally have your wedding without making a single adjustment and it would be perfect. The food was sensational and guests raved about it; generous portions and absolutely delicious. Our one regret is we couldn't try the lamb kofta because our bridal party ate them ("they were SO GOOD")...guests left full - no Maccas stops here! Also, the staff. Absolute legends, rockstars, couldn't fault. Super attentive and friendly, my husband and I were well looked-after. Our night was perfect. 10/10 would recommend St Andrews to any bride.
