Testimonials

Dear Jimmy,

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for the use of Bardolph’s Hall for our wedding on Saturday. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and really raved about the venue and setting, you have a wonderful place there. 
Thanks also for your accommodating style. Whist looking for a venue for our wedding we came across a myriad of places that were prescriptive and restrictive in what you could and couldn’t do, your relaxed approach made for a stress free and totally enjoyable experience.

Many many thanks

Thank you for the use of your beautiful venue on the weekend of 17th August 2008. We had the most fantastic day and it provided such a great backdrop to it all. Most of all thanks for letting us shape the day exactly as we wanted, and thanks for letting us have fireworks, and thanks for letting us have the bonfire! We loved it all!
Love and hugs

Dear Jimmy and Val,
We hope you are both well.
We just wanted to email and say a big thank you for all your help in making our wedding day so amazing! Your relaxed and open manner was invaluable in helping us plan the day and a particular big thank you to you Val for all your help on the actual wedding weekend and lead up. We could not have hoped for a more perfect venue, the grounds looked so beautiful in full bloom and the hall itself was stunning, perfectly fitting our long table plan and ceilidh.
We would like to wish you both a good rest of summer and happiness and success for the future.
best wishes

A belated note to thank you for contributing so much to the success of Alice and Dan’s wedding on the 16th October.
One could not image a location as perfect as Birling. A flint complex and surrounding greensward imparting not only beauty but a sense of tradition and continuity. And Bardolph Hall offered all the dignity one could wish for to support a wedding ceremony.
Thank you for your detailed attention to ensuing that the venue was so well prepared for the wedding; and above all for the very reasonable terms upon which you made the venue available to Alice and Dan.
Our personal enjoyment of the week-end was completed by our stay at the Tiger Inn – many thanks to your son and staff – excellent food, accommodation and service.
With best wishes
John and Pat (parents of the Bride

Dear Jimmy
Rosa and I wanted to write to thank you for the use of your hall and beautiful gardens for our wedding on the 4the June. The place was absolutely perfect for us, and we really appreciated being able to use the Thursday and Friday beforehand to get everything installed and set up rather than having to do it all in a mad rush the day before. In the end, setting up the bar in the little kitchen area was definitely the right decision, as we had completely underestimated how full the hall would be once 140 guests were on the dance floor!
The whole weekend went so smoothly, and we had such fun that we felt really sorry when it was all over. The Keg of Legless Rambler went down a treat (although left a few sore heads the next day!). And my parents loved staying in the Beachy Head Cottages in East Dean and eating at the Tiger.
You truly are blessed to be able to live in such a beautiful part of the world, thank you for sharing it with us and allowing us to use it for the Wedding reception.
Kind regards
Julian and Rosa

Dear Jimmy
Having come back to reality after all the celebrations we would like to say a very big thank you for the wonderful venue which was key to making our wedding day such a tremendous success. The guests were all enthused with Bardolph's Hall and the grounds of Birling Manor and many told us it was the best wedding they had been to. (Of course, we also feel this is the case!)
With best wishes

Hi Jimmy

Just to let you know that we’re back from honeymoon, and just wanted to ‘touch-base’ with you to check that everything was left in-order after our wedding on 30th June?? We, and our guests had a fantastic time (despite the rain!), and many people commented on how gorgeous your venue was.

We thank you for all your help and cooperation on the lead up to the big-day – and we will not hesitate in recommending Birling Manor to our friends!
