Chloe and Luke, June 2022
Thank you for a perfect day! Our guests were blown away by Layer Marney – many weren’t aware it was even there. Everything looked beautiful and yourselves, as well as Charlotte and team, couldn’t have been more helpful. You’ve all been amazing supporting us and our (many!) postponements over the last two years and we are very grateful for that. We’re so relieved we finally had our day but also sad it is over. Big shout out to Karen, she has been wonderful!
We had an amazing day at Layer Marney Tower. So many of our guests have complimented how beautiful the backdrop was to the wedding and how it all flowed so easily from each of the different areas; from the church to the lawns for drinks and then the Barn for the wedding breakfast and party. The gardens were absolutely beautiful too. We really would change absolutely nothing – it was a perfect day. Thank you so much to the Layer Marney team (especially Karen!), Bouquet Garni and St Mary the Virgin Church. You were all fantastic throughout and made all of the planning stress free and enjoyable.
