I just wanted to say thanks again to you, Tony, Hannah and the rest of the team for making Saturday such an amazing day. We had the best day, it was everything we wanted and we really couldn't have asked for anything more. We really appreciate the effort you all put into making it such a perfect day for us.

Getting married in April 2011 was always going to raise comparisons, but it has been commented to be ‘the wedding of the year’ this was due to a number of different elements, one of which was not only Trunkwell House, but the staff and organisation there. We loved the look on Trunkwell House when ploughing through the numerous wedding venues online, and when we saw it, it was as if our dream wedding was appearing in front of our eyes. The picture perfect frontage and its beautiful lawn was the ideal setting for the purpose build marquee where the magic would take place. In this we opted for the blue starlit ceiling and the white starlit dance floor, which glistened throughout the day and into the evening, keeping the kids and some of the adulated entertained! It was simply stunning. Being that it was an April wedding we could not have predicted the weather, Trunkwell shone in the sun which we where lucky to get, however it still would have sparkled in the rain. Steph and her team really did bring a sense of calm to the day with everything running smoothly and every single guest looked after. During the planning process Steph made us feel like we were the only couple getting married at Trunkwell, she was very personal and was always prompt to reply to any questioned we asked. The food which we were served was mouth watering good, and all the guests commented on the superb flavour. So many people asked where we found Trunkwell – it really is Berkshire’s best kept secret.

We hope your are well and trunk well is keeping busy. We are sorry this is a little late but with getting back off honeymoon and settling back into work life it's been busy, as you can imagine. We just want to say a massive thank you to yourself and trunk well team for all the hard work and effort with making our special day unforgettable. Everything was perfect, how we imagine and planned it from the first time we stepped into trunk well and said yes to setting up our wedding there. With the lead up to the wedding being stressful as you know so well it was a treasure to see our special day just flowed by with no faults or queries. There was not one single person who didn't put all there effort into making it flow. We honestly can not thank you enough. We will definitely put some kind words about trunk well into trip advisor. We have already recommended trunk well a few times to people who are looking to celebrate any occasion. We hope you take care of yourselves and hope to see you again at some point within events. All the best Michael and Rebecca Dean Xx

I have written to Bob to thank him and all the staff for putting on such a fabulous show last Saturday but I felt I should also personally thank you and Lauren for all the hard work you put in to make the day such a huge success. You seemed to think of everything and nothing was too much trouble and I can't believe it's all over now. Anyway, I really appreciate everything you did for us all and hope we weren't too much of a pain!! Many many thanks to you both and I hope we'll meet again before too long.

Nothing has ever been too much trouble, and you have gone above and beyond to help us with the planning of our wedding. All our guests have commented on how special they thought the venue was, how great the food has been and how impeccable the service was.
We have had such a special day, and you have played a major role in achieving this. We cannot thank you enough and we really appreciate all the effort and hard work you have put into our wedding.

Just wanted to say thank you to you and your staff you went above and beyond your call of duty on my wedding day, all my guests described my wedding as amazing and a big part of that was down to you. The food was amazing and it was decorated beautifully. The bouncy castle was a great idea and im sure all the children will agree.

Thank you very much for making our wedding day so special, we had endless comments on how good the food was and how beautiful the venue looked, it was exactly how we envisioned! (I believe the marquee dressing is credit to Jackie & team! )
The grounds looked great too and the garden games were a hit with the children! The dining & bar staff did a great job and were very efficient, Mada was fantastic, ensuring we were always kept informed, at ease and happy on the day, she did a great job of coordinating all the staff in a very professional manor! Stephanie, thank you for doing a great job in the last few weeks getting us organised for the big day! The DJ was great, he played a mixture of songs which everyone enjoyed. Peter Craft, the toastmaster was excellent, great attention to detail and was very subtle which is what we wanted, he did a fab job of making sure the day flowed. We had an AMAZING day!
