I recently hosted an intimate family event at The Priory 1101 to celebrate my engagement, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. The venue is absolutely stunning, filled with character and rich history that added a special touch to our celebration. Paulina was an absolute delight to work with, guiding us through the entire process from booking to the day of the event. Her and her team were exceptional hosts, always available and hands-on for anything we needed, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Though our group was smaller than usual for The Priory, we managed to create a semi-formal, casual atmosphere that worked perfectly in the space. The hall was set up in a way that felt neither empty nor crowded, and our guests were impressed by how well the space was utilized. The warm lighting and beautiful chandeliers further enhanced the ambiance, making the room feel both inviting and elegant. I cannot recommend The Priory 1101 enough; it’s truly a hidden gem in Yarmouth! Whether you're planning a large gathering or a more intimate event, this venue offers a unique and memorable experience that your guests will love.
