We met Philip Gilder when we started planning our wedding last year. Philip was a fantastic man he made us feel very at home and had some amazing ideas to make our wedding extremely special and suit our needs.  His prices were extremely competitive when comparing prices with other catering companies.

Later during the planning process I was diagnosed with a severe Lactose intolerance. On calling Philip to tell him about my health issues Philip was extremely accommodating and planned an alternative menu for myself so that I could still enjoy our special day. We also had other guests with different dietary is requirements and large numbers of children which he also accommodated all our needs.

On the weeks before the wedding he made everything so easy and supported us to finish making all the last minute decisions. We also asked his staff to assist with the dressing of tables and venue. To say the least I could not have wished for a more perfect set-up over and beyond the call of duty.

As for the food that Philip and his amazing team provided it was exquisite and cooked to perfection. Which every guest complimented us on the quality and quantity of food provided.  I also feared that there would large amounts of food wastage before the wedding but hardly any food was left.  Any food that had been leftover Philip and his team packed away for us to take home.

As for Philips staff I would like to thank them for being so attentive to all our guests. They were all well-presented all food came out to all the tables within a timely manner. All staff bent over backward to make our day run smoothly and ensured everything was tidied down afterwards even though we had not asked for this to be done.

Manor Events did a fantastic job at our wedding in December 2013. The food was excellent as was the service and Philip really looked after us in the build-up to the big day. Very friendly and very professional.

Thank you to Philip and all at Manor Events for ensuring our Wedding Day was perfection. Philip was always supportive and offered excellent advice throughout the whole planning process and the Day would not have been as amazing as it was without his organisation and input. We wanted a rustic and down to earth reception, while still maintaining some tradition and importance of the day. Philip delivered exactly what we had dreamed of, with delicious appetizers, homemade breads and a wonderful Carvery meal, which certainly had something for everybody, followed by a delicious buffet of desserts. Everyone commented on how delicious the fayre was and are still talking about it! Our ‘Cake of Cheeses’ with mouth-watering chutneys was also a massive hit in the evening.  We also love the fact that Manor Events uses local and where possible, organic, ingredients. Thank you Philip, Emma (who smiled all day) and all the other wonderful staff at Manor Events. Our Wedding Day was perfect and we have you to thank.

Hi Philip and team,

James and I would just like to express our thanks for your help in making our evening wedding celebrations so enjoyable and such a tremendous success. Obviously as Bride and Groom we unfortunately didn’t get to eat very much due to all the talking we had to do, but what we did have was wonderful. We have had non-stop compliments from our guests about the food (which they all managed to eat plenty of!) and also the efficiency and professionalism of your staff.

You and your team worked very hard and far exceeded our expectations. We will gladly be recommending you to anyone and everyone we find that requires catering of the highest standards!

Yours happily
Vicky & James
