Dear all At Crabbs Barn

When we first saw Crabbs Barn we knew this had to be the venue where we were to be married, the venue alone was beautiful. To compliment the venue was the outstanding service that we recieved. We could not have chosen a more perfect place to spend our perfect day. Faultless is one word to describe everything, it went so perfectly mainly because of Steve and Tracy who run the show. Nerves did not get in the way as both Steve and Tracy ensured everything went smoothly and guided us through the whole day. It was lovely to have received such personal service and to hear compliments from guests throughout the whole day about both the venue and the service of the staff. We were even complimented on how it was the best wedding that most of the guests had been to, although it was our wedding day we would have to agree ha ha!! It meant a lot to us to feel that the day was just as special to the staff at Crabbs Barn as it was to us. We are confident that we would not have received a better service at another venue. We have been to a number of weddings and have'nt seen a service as hands on as Crabbs Barn provides. So a big pat on the back to everyone at Crabbs Barn. Oh and to add, the scenery is fantastic for wedding photo's!! And we would recommend Roamers for the Food and Flowers. Steve, Tracy and Geoff a BIG THANK YOU.xxx

Dear Mr and Mrs Scott,

I am writing to thank you for making Claire and Neil's wedding day on Friday 17th even more special than we expected.

Steve and Tracy were superb, and their organisational skills ensured everything ran like clockwork. I really could not believe how unotrusive the support was, so that things were done, drinks served, plates cleared and guests shepherded between the pavilion and the barn without us knowing it was all happening. Brilliant, and my heartfelt thanks to Steve and Tracy for their excellent service.

When we came back on Saturday to pick things up, there they were again making preparations for the wedding in the afternoon. Even though you hold many weddings and it must be routine for you, you still managed to make it seem as if ours was the only one.

My cousin and her husband from Australia, who ran their own hotel and restaurant for over 25 years, told me how impressed they were by the organisation, and that is praise indeed knowing the standards they operated by.

Very many thanks to you all and in particular to Steve, Tracy and the supporting staff and with kindest regards to you all for making a special day perfect.

Yours, Geoff Glover for Clare Glover and Neil Barton - Married 17/10/2008

May we wish you continuing success and will continue to recommend your service,

We will be putting a wedding picture in the Essex Chronicle (Jo thinks she's going to win Bride of the Year!!), so have a look out for it!! Thanks again for such an amazing day, we will be highly recommending you to any of our friends that are thinking about getting hitched soon!!

Just a short note to thank you all very much for the fantastic day we had at 'Crabbs' for the wedding of our daughter Rachel to Alex Ings.

Geoff and Steve,

I just wanted to make a point of saying thank you so much for a wonderful wedding reception last month. From the moment we came to view the venue in June 2008 I knew this was the place I wanted to hold our reception (even though it meant moving the wedding back by 9 months!!) I instantly had faith in Crabbs Barn to deliver a perfect day and I wasn't mistaken. I work in events co-ordination myself and therefore am extremely fussy about things being organised in a certain way, but cannot emphasize enough how completely impressed I was from the moment we booked up until the day itself. I have had so many compliments about the running of the day Steve, it was seamless and you were always there when we needed anything on the day itself. Brilliant. I had lots of engaged friends at our weddeing who have not decided on a venue yet so I'm hoping we can come back soon! I would love to do every minute of it all over again. You have a fabulous venue and are an exceptional team. I shall be recommending you left, right and centre forever.

Thank you again,

Ian and Jenny McArdle - Married 28/6/2008

Dear all at Crabbs Barn,

First of all we'd like to offer our sincere apologies in taking so long to write to you following our wedding on Saturday 9th February 2008. Unbelievably it has been 5 months since our big day, and it has absolutely flown past!

Thank you very much for all your help in making our wedding such a successful a memorable occasion. We had such a great time, and everytthing went really well, including the weather which was very out of season.

The venue looks wonderful in the photographs and video that we have now received, and our friends are still talking about the day and venue being fantastic.

Thanks again and all the best to all.

Yours, David and Suzanne Simonson - Married 9/2/2008

Despite the day baing rainy it was perfect and the venue looked beautiful. Everything went so smoothly so thanks to Steve for ensuring this particularly.

Thanks also to Wendy and Geoff for answering my 100's of questions in the run up - you really helped put my mind at rest.

Many guests commented on how lovely the barns are and I shall definately recommend Crabbs to some of my friends that have recently got engaged!

Dear Steve,

Having finally come down to earth after our wedding we wanted to take this opportunity to express our most sincere thanks for making our day so amazing.

Everyone is still talking about how much fun they had and how relaxed the whole day was and that is in the most part entirely down to all of your hard work and dedication.

We cant thank you enough for giving us this perfect start to married life.

All our love and gratitude,

Richard and Sue Warburton - Married 16/5/2008

Dear Steve and Tracy,

My husband and I would like to convey our very grateful thanks to yourselves and your team on the efficient and helpful service you gave us for the wedding of our daughter Sue to Richard on Friday 16th May.

We are fully aware that the day was very long for you all due to their early wedding time, but everyone on your team was friendly and obliging to the end even though they must have been very, very tired.

Many of our guests commented on how the day flowed so smoothly in a relaxed and informal way. I think many of them will recommend Crabs Barn to their friends and you are to be congratulated on your efficient organisation.

Thank you so much for the beautiful dressing of the tables - it was exactly as I had hoped for, Please could you also thank Rebecca for the beautiful chair covers and bows. They were much admired by the guests and the florist!

Our grateful thanks once again,

Avril and Philip Ellis for Suzanne Ellis and Richard Warburton - Married 16/5/2008
