Leanne and Peter Hale(Bride)
We first visited Carrington’s Pumphouse to see a friend of ours perform one Sunday afternoon some time ago. Mike and Annette Simpkins have always been tremendously hospitable and their team at the venue has always been top-notch.
Ours was a late afternoon informal wedding (we had canapes served thorughout the night rather than a formal sit-down dinner). The ceremony took place in the adjacent garden, drinks and speeches were in the courtyard, and dancing was inside the building. The ability to move between areas was outstanding, and there was easily enough room to cater for the 112 guests.
Holly Taylor and her team were sensational. Holly was unflappable and supremely professional in every way, from the early planning, a few late changes we requested to the floor plan, and her management of the team (and us!) on the day was exceptional. The system she uses for planning the day makes what can be a complex process into a remarkably simple one.
The food was lovely and well timed in its delivery during the evening, and the team was very friendly and efficient thorughout.
Usually the Bride and Groom send thank you notes out, but we have received several Thank You notes from our guests, commenting on the venue and what a great night out it was.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Carrington’s as a venue, and thank Holly, Mike and Annette immensely for their guidance and hospitality. It was a perfect day in every way, helped in no small part by the team at Carrington’s.

What can i say but wow. Everything was exactly as we wanted for our day thanks to Holly and her fantastic team! I also spoke a lot to Annette and both ladies are lovely.
We chose to also have Carringtons set up and run our ceremony in the gardens beside the pump house, which was so hassle free and perfect for us.
The venue with its brick rustic charm, and enclosed courtyard was fantastic.
Our buffet dinner was delicious the staff were friendly and professional for our whole day.
We really couldn’t fault anything from our millions of questions planning the wedding to the amazing day we had for our wedding.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Holly, this venue and their fantastic staff for any sort of function.venue-

Rebecca(Bride)
Our original venue fell through about 2 months before our wedding date so a friend recommended Carringtons to us. We live down the road, and yet had never been there. We only needed one look at the venue to decide it was right for us.
I walked in there one Monday afternoon, intending to make an appointment to see a wedding planner, and Annette sat me down and went through everything on the spot. We had a slightly different wedding idea in mind and Annette was completely receptive to everything, even making suggestion that would compliment the theme.
We went for dinner one night to trial the meals (which were superb) and were astounded as to the quality of staff working. We observed them dealing with customers, one customer had an item missed from their order, and the way in which it was dealt with was top notch.
Once booked, Holly was our co-ordinator. I cant speak highly enough about her - she completely got into the theme. Any questions I had I was able to email her - her communication was outstanding. She left me confident that the day would go as planned.
On the morning of our wedding, the bad weather was rolling in so Holly text me to ask whether she could set up the wedding indoors.
When we arrived, the way they had decorated the room was better than I could have ever imagined it.
The guests made numerous comments about how good the service was - the staff were available when you wanted them, but never hovering, and super friendly. All in all, the wedding was fantastic and I would recommend Carringtons to anyone planning a wedding.venue-

We would highly recommend Carringtons as a venue for any occasion, not only were the staff professional, patient and an absolute pleasure to deal with, they handled every demand with enthusiasm and made our wedding reception a night to remember.
Our wedding was pulled together all within a month, as well as the race against time, Carringtons was able to deal with every tricky and complicated request we put forward, making our wedding reception a success.
Our friends and family raved about the food, it was of the highest quality and certainly went above and beyond our expectations.
Thank you to Holly and the wonderful team at Carringtons, we couldn’t have asked for more!
Vimal & Kapisha Patel.

Madeleine Wells(Bride)
My husband and I got married earlier this year in February 2012. Our initial venue fell through only 9 weeks before our wedding date. As you can imagine, we were a bit shaken up and really hoping to find a great venue who could provide us with a fabulous wedding reception. We found exactly that with Carrington’s. I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with them, right from the first meeting, up until the end of our wedding night.
Our first visit to the Pumphouse was a decider. We loved the brick and wood interior, and the spacious outdoor patio. Our wedding coordinator, Holly, could not have been better. She was very involved and receptive, open to any of our suggestions, from the moment we met her. We had a fun afternoon wine tasting and selecting our beverages.On the night, Holly and her staff were well organised. They provided us with great service, and we were able to trust them, sit back and have one of the best nights of our lives!
Thank you Holly and Carrington’s for providing such a fantastic venue, and exceptional service.

I found this venue to be perfect in so many ways. First of all the staff were amazing. Anything that i needed was catered for, right down to the very last minute. The food was incredible and i was able to please a varied range of tastebuds with the menu avaliable. The venue itself was beautiful before i saw it set up for my wedding but was jaw dropping when i arrived on the big day. The decoration that was put together by Carringtons against an already picture perfect backdrop worked so well and they range of places to have our photos taken after the ceremony was great. I would definately recommend this venue to any bride looking to have a great, hassel free day and have gorgeous photos to keep forever.

The Pump House was an amazing venue for our wedding. Annette was simply the best. She was helpful and informative from our first meeting thorough to and throughout our special day. Her organisation was exceptional and she went above and beyond our expectations!
Our guests still rave about the menu and the staff. The staff were very attentive, friendly and professional. The food was amazing! We cant say Thank You enough to Annette and her staff.
The venue was absolutely gorgeous and the surrounding grounds made the perfect back-drop for our wedding photos.
Our day was perfect and a big part of that was due to the Pump House, Annette and her staff!
Thank you once again.
