Typical quote from a Bride -".....thank you for a perfect weekend. Whitminster House was everything we had ever dreamed of for our Wedding. It provided a beautifully romantic backdrop for our amazing photographs and memories. All of our guests had a fantastic time, we loved that we could celebrate for the whole weekend. We felt we spent time with all of our guests as well as each other and enjoyed every minute.
