Best day of our lives
If I had to conjure the most perfect, dreamlike, unspoilt location for a fairytale wedding then Osmaston Park is it. At our wedding in July everyone was blown away by the stunning setting and view of the park in all the different lights - from bright sun to dusk. What's amazing too is to be able to see the panoramic woods and lakes from inside the marquee because of the transparent sides. So many of our guests continue to tell us how they fell in love with this special and romantic place. There is something very magical about Osmaston. Andrew and Top Marques were so helpful and supportive, both during the build up to the wedding and on the day itself. Everything ran smoothly thanks to the highly professional team there. It really was the best day of our lives. Thank you, thank you. Laura Ward

Our amazingly perfect wedding venue
I am writing to thank you for all your help whilst we were organising our wedding at Osmaston Park on 28th May 2011. When we started looking at wedding venues we scoured the whole of the East Midlands for the perfect setting for my wedding day; Osmaston was the first place we visited and it captured our hearts from that moment on. No other venue compared with the beauty and stunning location that Osmaston holds; we booked two years before my big day content in the knowledge that we had made the right choice. During our wedding planning we had the full support and help from the team at Osmaston who couldn't do enough to help with our enquiries and any concerns we had. When our wedding day finally arrived everything was just perfect the marquee and grounds looked amazing and we had a wedding day which will be remembered forever. Our guests were stunned by the location and we still have family and friends e-mailing us weeks later to say what a fabulous day they had. Both Anthony and I would like to say a huge thank you to you for helping make our dreams come true and for going the extra mile, even to the point of your own expense of putting a gate in by the mill building so I could use this location for my wedding pictures (which are spectacular). We can't say enough good things about Osmaston to do it the justice it deserves but it will hold a special place in our hearts forever as our amazingly perfect wedding venue.

A perfect day
When we first saw Osmaston Park we knew immediately it was where we wanted to get married. It is the kind of idyllic setting that you always imagine for the biggest day of your life. The staff were excellent in all arrangements, eager to get things done and help us out. The photos from the day look magnificent and the mixture between stone ornaments and architectural features and the natural beauty of the lake, woods and fields made for a stunning backdrop. We will never forget the exceptionally romantic atmosphere travelling down the tree lined avenue in a horse drawn carriage. The marquee itself is a splendid structure and the way it had been set up made it feel the perfect size for the number of guests we had, not too imposing and not too cosy – just right. Many thanks again for your help in organising a perfect day!

Everything was perfect
Thank you and all the team for the amazing experience we had whilst planning our wedding at Osmaston. From our first viewing on a very frosty day in January we completely fell in love with the park and it's breathtaking beauty. We received so many awe-struck comments on the day from guests and have since recieved letters all of which enthused about the stunning setting. Needless to say our photos are spectacular! Everyone we met during the planning process was so helpful and warm; there was no question too stupid or request which couldn't be fulfilled. The team at Top Marques were fantastic, efficient and friendly. We used Big On Taste for our catering and were delighted with their high standards and amazing food. Being able to supply our own Champagne and wines as well as dress the marquee as we wanted allow us to really personalise our big day. In short everything was perfect and we cannot thank you enough for helping to make our day so special.

Absolutely Breathtaking!
I was instantly hooked. The views as you approach the park are absolutely breathtaking, with the landscape appearing never ending. We were greeted by the lovely Lady Philippa Walker-Okeover, whose friendly smile and kind nature we immediately warmed to. On entering we were automatically met with the WOW factor. We drove in to the area where the marquee would sit and were faced with even more acres of beautiful greenery set above an expansive lake. From that moment we both knew this was the venue for us. The privacy, combined with the beautiful setting are just priceless. The set up of Osmaton is perfect for what we wanted. The marquee meant we could dress the venue exactly as we wanted, and Osmaston were extremely accommodating. The marquee side of things is all handled separately by Top Marques Marquee Company, an extremely friendly family run business who can't do enough for you. The marquee itself was stunning, by far the nicest I have seen. It was immaculate both inside and out and extremely spacious. They really are a great bunch of people, who made the whole process very stress free.Overall the venue really is a magical place, one of Derbyshire's hidden gems. Lady Philippa and Sir Andrew have a real passion for the park, obvious from how well looked after it is. Their aim is to make sure you are happy and will do whatever they can to ensure your day runs smoothly. Their down to earth manner and warmth really made the whole process very easy. Osmaston Park really does need to be viewed in person to appreciate the full extent of what is has to offer. If you want an original venue that really allows you to personalise your special day, then make sure you include it on your shortlist

Best Wedding Venue in Derbyshire
We thoroughly enjoyed our Wedding Day at Osmaston Park. We couldn't have wished for a more beautiful setting, the scenery is incredible! The marquee also looked beautiful, and everyone we worked with to organise the day was very helpful. All our guests have said they had a lovely day. We are certain there is no better wedding venue in Derbyshire!

Spectacular Views
It was the first place we viewed when planning our wedding, and no other place compared after that.. The views are absolutely spectacular, and the peacefulness coupled with the privacy makes the day truly special. We both enjoyed every moment of it, everybody was very helpful and we want to thank them. Lovely classic English countryside at it's best, and with the ability to decorate the site to your own style, it makes everything so personal to the couple. Thank you very much, we had a fantastic time!

Beautiful and so romantic!
We would thoroughly recommend Osmaston Park for anyone thinking of a wedding reception venue. The setting is tranquil, very beautiful and so romantic! The marquee is spacious with wide windows looking out over the magnificent views of the park and lake and the interior light, airy and well furnished. Everyone concerned including the Estate itself, the marquee staff and the caterers worked hard and succeeded in making it a wonderful day.

Such a fantastic day
Dear all, we (both families) would like to thank you! as a wedding venue for such a fantastic day, from the time that we arrived at Osmaston Park to the last moment we all left we can not remember a better place for anybody getting married and the beautiful setting, the grounds and marquee, the service from the staff made the day a memory it will take years and years to forget. As it was only a week ago we are all still on a high and now the photographs are being printed we are reliving every moment. So please pass on my thanks from the bottom of my heart to the staff and caterers the grounds men/security and yourselves you all made it go so well and we will recommend you to any body thinking of making the plunge, Also we stayed at a local hotel close by and this made it so easy for guests to commute back and forth so Again thank you all so much.

Wow! What a venue!
We had our wedding at Osmaston Park in September and it was just perfect. The views from the magnificent marquee overlooking the lake were spectacular, as were the immaculate grounds . We had many a guest who were just lost for words from the beautiful views and the fantastic marquee. It was so nice to be able to make our own personal stamp inside the marquee and a special thank you to the Naylors who run Top Marques (UK) who were just fantastic! A very special thank you to Sir Andrew who was a diamond! He was so friendly , accommodating and helped us organise everything perfectly. We also had a fantastic catering team (Fiona Herbert) who we thoroughly recommend, in that not only did she produce 5 star food but helped us throughout with the running of the day. All in all we would thoroughly recommend Osmaston Park as the best venue in Derbyshire for a wedding!

A bride''s father''s perspective - really good value for money.
From a financial point of view this site beats all others. I wanted to buy my own wine and champagne in France - direct from the vineyards - and hotel sites don''t like that sort of cost saving. And because you have complete control over food, drink, music, flowers and decorations, the Osmaston site gave us great opportunities to save money, and put my daughter''s personal stamp on the reception and believe me, she had a lot of ideas! What''s more, we were able to adapt on the day to the weather if we wanted to move the party outside, we could - if we wanted fireworks, it was organised. The whole thing was incredibly professional and the staff created an evening that none of us will ever forget. But our self-help approach made this event all the sweeter for the financial savings we could make by bringing some of our own things along like a wedding cake for exampleso we were able to provide the family touch to make it a unique day for the bride and groom without paying commercial rates for so much of what makes a good wedding into a great wedding. Yes, it''s a bit more work for the family, but well worth it.
