Testimonials
“We had our marriage ceremony at the Guildhall Barnstaple in July 2018. We wanted a venue that was historically interesting and important and Barnstaple was the town where we first met and attended school together.
The organisation for our ceremony was carried out by Megan Sanders. She was always approachable, calming, helpful & knowledgeable. It was so reassuring to have a person willing and able to help us with all our questions.
On the day of the ceremony Megan and her colleague were fantastic. We were in the midst of a heatwave and they had fans for all our guests to help keep them cool. We have some fantastic photos and found the room the perfect size for about 90 guests. The acoustics were great as well for our harpist.
Megan is a great ambassador for Barnstaple Council.”
