A Fantastic Day from Start to FinishI was a bridesmaid at a wedding held at Orton Hall yesterday, I felt i had to contact you and let you know what a lovely day it was. The staff were friendly and helpful, the turn around in the great room and conservatory was swift with no fuss made at all. The food was way above what I expected. Thank you for making my friends wedding a lovely and relaxing experience.

Thank You!!Kirsten, Our wedding day was just perfect from start to finish, Enda was so amazing and made me feel completely relaxed and as though nothing was too much trouble to help the day run smoothly! All the staff were so friendly and professional, the venue looked stunning and despite the weather forcast the sun came out for us…family and friends were chatting outside on the tables until late in the evening just as I’d imagined/dreamed it would be when we first booked the venue. Many of our guests stayed in the hotel overnight and enjoyed making it a weekend event! Everything went exactly to plan and although there was lots going on it was so relaxed which is what we both wanted. Weeks later our guests are still talking about the meal, and how the lamb was so perfectly cooked! I’m thrilled that I picked Orton Hall for my wedding, it was everything and more that I could have dreamed of for our special day and I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue in the Cambridgeshire area. Thanks again for all your hard work! You’ve been amazing. The tables looked fantastic, and all the ribbons were perfect!

We wanted to write and say a Big Thank You!Dear Kirsten, we want to say a special thanks to you for helping with all the little details such as the cups and labels etc. It looked amazing on the day. Also for meeting up just before to go through all the details again. You were so right about Enda. He was wonderful in his role. He felt like one of the family and helped proceedings run smoothly and all with his lovely sense of humour and calm manner. The meal was absolutely scrummy! Everyone commented on the succulent lamb and how it melted in the mouth, as did the beautiful pork for the buffet. Everyone at Orton Hall worked toghether to make it such an amazing day. Many of the family stayed overnight and enjoyed a lovely breakfast in the morning. Again we appreciated your input and support and wanted to thank you again for everything you did to make it the day we dreamed of and more.

Our dream wedding!We got married at The Orton Hall in Feburary and I cannot praise the staff enough for the food and service on the day. Its a lovely building, the conservatory was a great room to get married in, so light and elegant. The food in the wedding main meal was hot and delicious, just as you would expect. The manager that looked after us couldnt have done more from the moment we arrived until we left the next day. I really look forward to going back to visit again next year.

A perfect family weddingWe had a small family wedding in The Huntly Room at Orton Hall, just 40 of us and it was lovely. It was a very intimate and elegant event, the service was great and we were treated so well by the staff. It wasnt too stuffy or formal, we have a mix of older relatives, children and very close friends and everyone felt at home. The food was really hot, tasty and just right.
