Testimonials

Hi Tania, I just want to say a huge thank you to you and your team for making our day so special. The whole family have commented on how good the venue and staff were. Everyone was so accommodating and friendly throughout the day. The food was amazing. The lamb for main course was spectacular. The guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the food was. Customer service was fantastic. Poppy was brilliant, she greeted me when I arrived and looked after Richard and I all day. She brought us drinks when she could see we were too busy to get our own and was always around whenever I needed anything. Her service was above and beyond so please say a huge thank you to her for everything she did. I have to say what made the Cathedral Lodge very special compared to other venues I have been to was the level of service and all the little things that you did without extra cost or fuss. I would definitely recommend anyone to have their wedding here as it surpassed all my expectations. It was a day I will cherish forever- THANK YOU! Lisa and Richard (July 2016)

“My husband and I, (sorry, couldn’t resist!), would like to thank you very much for the care and attention to detail both Tania and all of the staff at Cathedral Lodge put into making our day so special. We had the perfect wedding and felt that everyone worked extremely hard to make sure that our experience was unforgettable. From the wonderful girls on reception who made arrival so stress free to the night manager who made sure that we had everything we needed, we felt really pampered. David and Joe surpassed themselves with the food. How they can produce such wonderful food on such a large scale and have it all served hot is beyond me, it was totally perfect. Juri obviously runs a smooth operation as it all went like clockwork and Peter made the whole experience really personal, he really put himself out to go the extra mile and ensure that we had everything we needed. Then there was Tania, keeping me together when things got stressful and sending us the champagne and a personal card just all so so wonderful. Julie and Nick

“Just wanted to say a BIG thank you for giving us the most perfect day we could have dreamed of. Throughout our 2 years of planning we were always assured that Catherine was with us every step of the way and she was so attentive to every question we asked or thought we had – we couldn’t have wished for a better co-ordinator. The day itself was perfectly planned to precision and we both felt we were able to completely relax because you guys did such an amazing job from setting up, to serving and then clearing up at the end. So many of our guests remarked on what a beautiful setting the Lodge was and how great all the staff were - couldn’t have asked for more!!” Laura & Simon Langley, 6th September 2014

"For my husband and me, the Cathedral Lodge was the perfect setting for our wedding reception. From the first phone call enquiring about availability through to the morning after our big day, everything was arranged brilliantly. Victoria was always at the end of a phone or email to answer questions and make arrangements. Nothing we asked for was too much trouble, from making sure there would be space enough for 150 guests to enjoy Ceilidh dancing through to sourcing Scottish 'Square' sausage for the evening buffet! Peter was fantastic and made sure everything ran beautifully smoothly on the day. It was quite simply, our perfect day." Sarah & Gordon Alexander
