Potters Receptions

My husband Alex and were married at Potters in October '25. We chose October specifically as it was said to be the best time for the flowering Wisteria vine and sure enough it proved to be beautiful!We had a wedding of approx 130 guests.From the start, communication with the team at Potters was extremely quick and efficient. I emailed maaaany questions in the year or so lead up to our wedding and always received a quick reply. Things became only slightly delayed as our wedding day drew closer due to being in the middle of the busy wedding season, however in this case a phone call was always promptly answered and any important details settled quickly over the phone instead.Our main point of contact was Trillian and she did a fabulous job. Occasionally we also had some help from Amalia, Cass and Debbie who were all lovely.The planning process was fairly straight forward and Potters provided a detailed document to fill out as well as seating planners.Potters provided a very easy, all inclusive set up for the ceremony and reception. The only downsides I would say would be extra costs can be quite steep - including the tasting night, room hire, additional chair hire, and adding on extra platters of food or drinks. I do believe their newer packages have more inclusions such as the bridal suite for getting ready and included tasting night.I enjoyed the fact that guests can book and pay for a room directly which was great for some close relatives who chose to stay the night.For the ceremony:The team on the day were so sweet and helpful and made me feel totally at ease. They were so clear with their instructions and shepherded everyone where they needed to go.Vanessa was lovely as an assistant and also did an amazing job on content creation for us! She posted a bunch of clips after our wedding day which was amazing and I still love watching them. This was free and very unexpected but such a lovely thing to do for Potters couples!It was a little touch and go on the day as the sky decided to open up and pour just minutes before the ceremony was set to start. However the staff at Potters were amazing and made sure that nothing was damaged in the ceremony set up and quickly wiped down the chairs as it stopped raining. My assistant was extremely reassuring and had her weather app up constantly updating me on when it would stop and timed the start of our ceremony perfectly. The sun came out just as I walked down the aisle and it was magical!For the reception:The reception manager was so thoughtful and polite. He really worked to improve our night after a bit of a hiccup happened with a family member and went above and beyond in his service to make our night one to remember.Food was amazing, tasty and plentiful. I do wish they offered table service to serve the wedding cake with coffee afterwards - we did donuts rather than cake, and it's served at a buffet table off to the side of the room after the plated dessert. However by this point in the night everyone is busy dancing and I personally didn't even see the buffet table - luckily we were served some donuts at our room later. I did enjoy that the staff were thoughtful enough to offer to-go bags with the leftover donuts to guests at the end of the night!The room was very comfortable and we had some drinks and desserts thoughtfully laid out for us - although we got very little chance to enjoy the gorgeous room and bathroom since we were so tired and left first thing in the morning.Overall I'm very happy we chose Potters for our wedding venue and honestly couldn't find any major fault with them. The location really is unmatched and getting married under the wisteria was a dream come true. Thank you so much to the entire team at Potters!
