mr & mrs Jepson
had a wonderful time and my daughter and “Everyone brand new son in law were totally bowled over by how brilliant everything was. They said they knew it would be good but it was off the scale marvellous.
All the friends and family who came were also buzzing with the whole thing and said how lovely the food was and the great service and what a lovely vibe Sparth House has. The woodlands ceremony room refurb also added to the wow factor and both this and the Alexander Suite where we held the reception looked stunning as did the beautiful grounds which form a lovely backdrop for the photos. Im so glad we chose Sparth House for the big day, its a stunning location with a friendly vibe and beautiful function rooms, with superb staff who deliver great customer service non stop throughout the big day and during the morning after with a mouthwatering breakfast.
