We loved having our micro wedding at The Old Parish Rooms. The wedding was beyond our expectations, it was perfect and wouldn't have changed a thing. Laura was so professional, helpful and especially positive during a very difficult six months of having to postpone our wedding due to COVID, but it was the most perfect day. Laura was amazing in helping with all of our wants and needs, and also keeping us up to date on any guideline changes. Thank you so much for helping to give us a day we will never forget!

Wonderful, small, intimate venue to celebrate or host a function. Food was excellent, and although it was buffet style it was table service quality! Only negative is lack of parking facilities, plenty near by but this does involve a little walk if car park across the road is full

We had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at this venue; The day was an absolute highlight for both me and my husband as well as our guests. The venue is incredibly charming and ideal for intimate wedding celebrations. The staff was super helpful at all stages of our wedding planning and incredibly forthcoming and accommodating during the actual day!The caterer is booked alongside as they are in a business arrangement with the venue itself, which we thought was a bit limiting for us initially. However, the food and staff from the caterer are all incredibly skillful. We had a bit of a fusion wedding as my husband has a chinese family history, while I am from Germany, so we did want to include both of the special cuisines for our wedding menue. The Schnitzel was incredibly well done and I had a lot of my German side of the family coming forth to me and stating that this version is even better than any they had in Germany, while the caterers version of Char Siu was not quite comparable to the original chinese version. However, this was completely understandable for us as they had never experimented with this type of cuisine. The apple strudel, however, was the absolute highlight of the day! My husband and I still think about this particular desert to this day as everything about it was absolutely perfect.All in all, we can only say that the entire team went above and beyond to make this day be the absolute best. We are so happy that we chose to have our little wedding at this venue!

We got married here at the start of September 2023 and we are so happy we chose this venue for our wedding. We had 51 day guests and another 20 roughly in the evening. Everyone fit perfectly, it wasn’t over crowded at all.The food with Gather & Feast were outstanding. Bar staff etc all lovely and helped orchestrate the day which took the pressure off us. I would 100% recommend this venue if you are having a small/medium sized wedding!! The pub opposite (the half moon) is a great meeting point for guests which adds another touch for this venue. Thank you to Laura, & Emily at Gather & Feast! Love Jess & Rich x

What an absolutely stunning venue. We have just had our wedding at Old Parish Rooms and cannot fault either the venue or the catering provided by Gather & Feast. Both Laura and Emily helped us every step of the way to make it a truly unforgettable day. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend either Old Parish Rooms or Gather & Feast. Thanks to everyone involved for making it a day to remember.
