“We can’t recommend Celestial View at Normanton Park Gardens highly enough! From start to finish, everything was seamless and absolutely perfect. The team made coordination so easy — from setup to clean up, they managed everything beautifully and ensured every detail looked amazing. The bar setup is incredible and so helpful, making the drinks experience effortless for everyone”
“The venue itself is stunning. The walled garden where we had the marquee looked incredible, and the hot tub and sauna were perfect for relaxing the day before and after. The layout is brilliant for multi-day weddings: we did a night-before Mexican feast with close family and friends, and the wedding day had multiple drink receptions — out front, out the side, and then in the marquee at the back. It created different spaces to hang out, relax, and celebrate, which was perfect for everyone from kids to elderly guests. There were trampolines, swings, and indoor areas where people could rest but still feel part of the party.
The second-day celebration was another highlight. We set up a buffet in the marquee, opened the bar again, and had lawn games like cricket, croquet, and spike ball, along with live music in the afternoon. It was the perfect way to continue the celebration and let everyone relax and have fun.
Every little moment — from breakfast together to karaoke duets, to laughing and cooking with friends — made the weekend unforgettable. The venue gave us exactly what we wanted and more: a beautiful, flexible space with perfect coordination, amazing facilities, and a magical atmosphere. If you’re looking for a venue that’s personal, fun, and completely unforgettable, this is it!”
