Safari Lodge - Woburn Safari Park

We also wanted to send a massive thank you to Ashleigh and Jane but most of all to you Joanne. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives and part of that is down to you, it was by chance we even found the venue while googling, and we both promised before our meeting that we would not fall in love with the venue in case it was out of our price range. However we both broke that promise upon entering the lodge, it is such a fantastic venue and after we saw it we could not have imagined having our reception anywhere else. I know we asked a lot of questions and you were so patient with us, as its a once in a lifetime thing for us we wanted to be surrounded by family and friends all having a good time and we were. So many people commented upon what a unique and beautiful venue Woburn was. We will never forget our day and the massive role you played so thank you so much for everything and who knows we may see you again as we go round the Safari.

Our wedding reception was far better than either of us anticipated and friends are still telling us now what an amazing time they had! Right from the start and through to the last minute of our wedding day and afterwards, you helped us with every aspect; kindly responding to all my emails and questions, allowing our best man to come to the venue the day before to set up props for his speech and also keeping that quiet from us was just amazing! The food was delicious and you catered for a fussy bride! We were able to access the venue the day before and set up and with that you were amazing with myself and in-laws running about the place! The bar was so reasonably priced; so much so, majority of our guests anticipated going out into MK afterwards, however, not a single one of them made it out as they were so drunk!

Ashleigh was absolutely fantastic in every way both leading up to the event and on the day. We cannot fault anything about it

We had an absolutely amazing time, we couldn’t have asked for a better day. The venue was perfect, the staff were very friendly & helpful, the food was delicious, the swan boats & train ride went down a storm and the changeover of the rooms went so smoothly I didn’t notice it happening! The only minor thing that could be improved was that the toilet floors got quite wet, I think due to the pressure from the taps, and could have been cleaned more regularly, especially in the evening. But that was one tiny point in an otherwise perfect day!

Our wedding reception at Safari Lodge was the perfect day. I wanted a traditional wedding in a unique setting and Safari Lodge was the perfect venue. Joanne was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She was very organised and put me at ease. On the day she was amazing ensuring that everything went smoothly. Lots of our guests said how professional she was. She is a real asset to this venue. All the staff were very helpful and friendly and made our wedding day fantastic. All of our guests had lots of fun. I would definitely recommend Safari Lodge.

We couldn't thank Joanne and the rest of the staff at Woburn Safari Park enough for helping us to have a completely perfect wedding day. We made the most of this wonderful and unique venue by having a double-decker bus take our guests around the road safari, followed by an elephant encounter. Everyone had an excellent time. The Lodge is a beautiful venue with excellent facilities. Joanne was superb from the moment we first viewed the venue until we collected left-over stuff the morning after the wedding; she was friendly, organised and professional. We couldn't have had a better wedding anywhere else

Our wedding went exactly as planned, largely due to the thoroughness of the planning process with Joanne, who was excellent throughout, sending us minutes after each meeting and responding to emails promptly. It was also very useful and reassuring that Joanne was on duty during the event so knew exactly what was supposed to happen and when.

Good afternoon, I am Martin Thomas' sister I attended the wedding reception at the safari lodge on Saturday 2nd September. I did not really know what to expect but wow wow wow. you should be very proud of the venue and all of your staff. I have worked in the hospitality industry for more than 30 years and your staff are up the there with the very best. The DJ was just great he played all of the requests that he received even though some were not exactly great. lol. The bar staff were under a lot of pressure as our families know how to drink but they never flapped they just served as quickly as they could. The food was lovely, the catering and waiting staff had the right attitude and some had a fab sense of humour. But I have saved the best until last my granddaughter was the little bridesmaid she was given a bracelet by the bride and groom which she was so excited to show off to myself and my husband and as she went to show us it fell off of her wrist and it went through the decking and as you can imagine she was so upset. Then a lovely young man (sorry i did not get his name) came along litter picking and he got the board off of the side of the decking and retrieved the bracelet. what a star. Please could you thank each and every one of your staff they made the day perfect for every one. kind regards Claire Silvey xx

I literally cannot recommend the Safari Lodge enough for a special event or wedding. Leading up to the big day Ashleigh was amazing and really helped me with any questions or request I had. The day itself was just perfect and all our family & friends were so impressed with the Lodge, it's location, the food and the staff, in fact they are all asking to do it again next week!

Joanne was amazing, we could completely trust she would do what she said she would do. We had a fabulous wedding. The Swan Boats were a massive hit! The catering team were great
