    Cat & Nick - June 2024

    “We had the most fabulous day last Sunday at this venue for my daughter’s wedding. I would like to thank Emily and of course the team behind her for all her kind attention. The venue is of course beautiful, impossible to find any faults. But beyond that is the professional, thoughtful, gracious care & attention to detail of the staff & especially Emily. Her calm, friendliness was the perfect way to be as we were guided through the day. She even got a chocolate stain out of my dress!!
    Thank you Emily & the team, you are built into our family story.”

We’ve loved Old Gore from our first visit and coming to feast nights and you’ve been so patient and kind answering all our questions along the way. Thank you so much Abby and Arabella for that.
