We booked the venue early 2019 for June 2021 for our wedding and reception, fortunately we had only one date change and the team were extremely accommodating. Danielle and the team really went above and beyond to make the day stress free for ourselves and our families. The background work behind the day was massively appreciated and we cannot thank Danielle and Team for making the day unforgettable.I cannot recommend The Conservatory at Luton Hoo Walled Gardens enough.
