      A perfect day
      Ardington house was a beautiful location - It had a real sense of occasion. Thank you to Adrian and Jane - nothing was too much trouble and thank you for all their great ideas for the wedding and spoiling us rotten. We really would recommend Ardington House as so many venues we looked at lacked personality, but Ardington House has an elegant charm about it. Thank you to everyone at Ardington House again for making our day so special.

      The most amazing day of our lives!
      Dear Nigel, I wanted to send a quick note which will be followed by a longer one to say how very much we appreciated having our wedding at Ardington House, this is a very special place which combined Adrian''s personal touch made this day one that we will never forget ! The care ,attention to detail and overall professionalism of your team made the day! It was such a unique experience to be allowed to use your family home which made the day feel so relaxed and special. We had kept the venue a secret from many of the guest''s so that they could experience the feelings we had on our first visit, they were all suitably impressed! To spend the night in your house and enjoy a wonderful breakfast the next day had us pinching ourselves once again to believe that this was reality. Ardington House can only be experienced in person, the photo''s we saw before our visit could never convey how fantastic the venue really is,all of our guest''s were totally overwhelmed with the venue! I have attached a photo from the photographer on the day with a few shots as a summary. Many thanks and if you ever require any recommendation, please do not hesitate to ask. Many thanks Tony and Adisa

      Ardington is the perfect location
      Thank you very much for all your help and advice in the organisation of Nick & Lucinda's wedding. Ardington is the perfect location - lovely house and beautiful grounds in which to place the marquee. Thank you for overseeing the smooth running of the reception dinner and dancing. Everything went without a hitch and Nick and Lucinda had the most glorious day, they phoned from their honeymoon on cloud nine, absolutely thrilled with their wedding day.

      Ardington House with all its delights will never be forgotten
      Alice & Richard's wedding day was always going to be special to us but we could never have envisaged just how truly special it would be in reality. Ardington House certainly playyed a big part in making the day a truly wonderful occasion, providing such a relaxing informal ambiance. Everyone commented upon this and both Rod and I want to take this opportunity to thank you for contributing significantly to the smooth running of the day. Ardington House with all its delights will never be forgotten.

      an absolutely lovely wedding reception
      Thank you all very much for an absolutely lovely wedding reception at Ardington House. The house and gardens looked so beautiful and all of your staff helped everything to run smoothly. We couldn't have wished for anything more.

      thank you for making our wedding reception such a great event
      I wanted to thank you for making our wedding reception such a great event. We really enjoyed ourselves and from the appreciative letters pouring into my parents it seems our guests did too! Everything went like clockwork and I was very happy with the marquee, the caterer, the florist and the band all of which we booked via your recommendation as you know. I'm beginning to see photographs and get more feedback from people and am able to relive what was a truly magical day and one that was made even more special by Ardington House being the venue for the reception.

      The preparation, the organisation, the presentation, not to mention the stunning venue, could not have been better.
      We were helped to achieve exactly what we were hoping for - a wonderfully special day that we shall never forget. So many of our guests have spoken about what a wonderful day it was and how a balance between splendour and informality/fun was struck. A wonderful, wonderful weekend.

      Amazing Venue
      Ardington House was the first venue we saw and we both knew instantly we didn't need to look anywhere else. We had the most perfect reception there in September. It has an amazing setting and everyone loved it. It really did feel like our house for the day due to the relaxed atmosphere of the staff and the fact that it is exclusively yours. A truly wonderful venue!
