Magicians!
5.0 Maddy & UNV Team are Magicians We are still on cloud nine from having the perfect day thanks to the incredible team at Pentney Abbey. It was absolutely magical from setting up the day before to walking around the grounds the morning after. We could not believe all of the time, effort and attention to detail that had been made for us. We planned our UK celebration from our home in Wisconsin, USA. From the get-go the planning team adapted seamlessly from doing a virtual tour all the way throug

Pentney Abbey
We viewed Pentney Abbey as a potential wedding venue on a rainy, miserable Sunday in March 2023 - it’s safe to say we instantly fell in love with the venue and booked a date for June 2024. We were assigned Beck as our planner and honestly, you are so lucky if you get Beck! She answered all of our questions, pointed out some that we hadn’t thought about and always matched our own excitement for our upcoming big day. Beck, thank you so much for looking after us and helping us through the planning

Unbelievable
Me and my fiancé Katie got married at Pentney abbey 07/10/2022. We booked our special day after our first visit to the venue as we fell in love with it straight away. Our wedding planner Maddy was unbelievable. She was always on hand with prompt responses from the minute we booked our wedding. And on our day everything went so smooth. Maddy kept us calm and really looked after us. We couldn’t have done it without her. Thankyou and we have memories that will be with us forever

The Best venue for the best day of your lives
From the moment we visited Pentney Abbey for a viewing we absolutely fell in love with it. No other venue compared for us to have our 'special day'. The level of organisation, communication and care from the whole team was nothing but excellent. The whole planning team are fabulous, our planner Maddy made the whole process stress free and was a joy to work with. On and after the day, all our families and friends could not talk more highly of the venue, the staff and also how INCREDIBLE the food was!! We are over the moon with how our day turned out and so pleased we chose Pentney to hold our special day.

The perfect venue for us!
We researched some wedding venues online and it soon became clear that Pentney Abbey was our favourite, so we went to visit. We didn’t visit anywhere else as we fell in love! We loved how special the venue felt without feeling huge. We loved that there was a lot of freedom to personalise our day. Communication from all of the planning team was excellent and we were allocated our wedding planned Megan Culley. She was absolutely amazing. As well as commenting on how stunning the venue was, many guests commented on how smooth the day ran and that’s down to Megan and her team’s professionalism. My husband and I felt constantly looked after and nothing was too much for them to do. My mum in particular said she really noticed how attentive the staff were to us. I’ve even recommended friends to get married at UNV venues as the experience we have had sounds above and beyond what other venues provide. Pentney will always be a very special place!

Dedicated to providing faultless service
Throughout the planning process we had contact with lots of the UNV planning team - what a wonderful team of professional people who are dedicated to providing faultless service. A special thank you to Meg for making our day perfect. Our day ran smoothly thanks to her hard work, as well as the team on the day who brought our visions to life. We have had so many about the quality of the food, especially how the team seamlessly cater to dietary requirements.
