Gemma Sent on 22/06/2025All guests have said “the best wedding we have ever been to!”
What can we say about THE best day of our lives, better than we ever could have imagined… other than THANK YOU BOTLEYS!
Without a doubt the most perfect venue and we could not have asked for more. From the incredible food, to the impeccable service, to the flawlessly beautiful&clean venue, we were blown away by how special the venue and day was and so were our guests.
The bedrooms onsite added such a special touch, getting ready on the day and having breakfast the next morning with our nearest&dearest.
We honestly could not recommend Botleys more… our guests have continually commented on the WOW factor of the venue, especially our grand entrance via the atrium stairs!
We are still on cloud 9 and recovering for the greatest party we have been to – there are no words to sum up truly how thankful we are to Botleys mansion and how much of a special place it will always remain in our hearts.
Special thanks to Lucy for her absolutely flawless help running the day and putting our mind at ease throughout – it rained for a considerable amount of the day which naturally went against some of our outside June planning… however it could not have mattered less … we had THE BEST DAY STILL, mostly because Lucy and Sarah were so fantastic at moving things around where needed. We are especially grateful for their hard work in updating us with the changing plans but most importantly ensuring Rob & I didnt need to do anything and all was under control - thank you so much!
Thanks also to Tom our Botleys MoC who all the guests LOVED and helped make the day so smooth.
And a big thank you to Katie and Kelly (and the planning team) who, for 2 years in the run up to our day, flawlessly helped plan it to perfection - no question was ever too much and their responses were always so quick - they put our mind at ease every single day in the lead up to the big day and we could not be more thankful for their invaluable help, a credit to the Harper team.

Owen Sent on 04/12/2024The day itself was great, however the administration beforehand and afterwards was very disappointing.
The venue is beautiful, the food is great, good selection of drinks, however the administration and support in planning and afterwards left a lot to be desired.
Numerous times during our planning process we were told incorrect and contradictory information in person or via email which created a lot of unnecessary stress and engagement with managers to sort out i.e. our original quote was significantly different to our billed amount. Multiple times we had to chase staff for information and responses to our emails and calls for answers to basic questions.
The day itself went great and we had a fantastic time but for a venue of this calibre you could find somewhere else that provides a more professional and stress free planning process.Botleys Mansion's reply:
Good afternoon Owen,
I hope you and Megan are both well and enjoying married life!
Thank you for your feedback. We always strive to give to our couples the best experience with us, and that does not include only their wedding day itself, but also the process and time leading to the big day. So, it is with sadness that we read that you felt the administration before the wedding was not to the standard you expected. We do our best to help our couples in the process of planning. We have had a changeover in the team that happened in the time you were planning your wedding, and I believe that might have caused the incidents you are referring to. We want to reassure you that this was not our intention, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience and stress caused.
I am very happy that the day itself was fantastic. We always aim to give the best day to our couples and fill their wedding day with lovely memories to cherish for life.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to send over your feedback. We hope that, despite of the parts that were not as great, you had the wedding day you imagined and that it will be a day to remember for life.
Kind regards,
Amber Trakimaite

Zara Sent on 15/11/2024Our dream wedding at Botleys Mansion, truly the most magical day!
Botleys Mansion was the first venue we visited, and from the moment we arrived, we knew it was the one. Dean, the House Manager, gave us a tour, and we were absolutely captivated by the venue, the team, and the incredible atmosphere. We still went on to view other venues afterwards, but we knew Botleys was where we wanted to get married and quickly paid the deposit to secure our October date.
One of the standout features for me as a bride was The Harper Planner. Having a single, well-organized platform to coordinate everything with the venue made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. Throughout the planning process, Botley's staff were on hand to answer any of our questions. We even visited the venue three more times with our parents, suppliers and for the tasting evening - what a special and memorable night that was, possibly my favourite part of wedding planning! We also had several check-in Zoom calls with the venue where they answered all of our questions and were so supportive and reassuring throughout. Special mention to the Botleys catering team for the incredible wedding breakfast and canapés, our guests commented that it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten!
On our wedding day, we were introduced to Marie, our Day Coordinator, and I can’t thank her enough for her outstanding support. She ensured everything ran flawlessly, offered invaluable advice (like not scrunching up our face for the confetti shot), made sure we ate, kept glasses of fizz at the ready, and regularly checked in to make sure we were relaxed and happy. Botleys also took care of all the setup and packing up of the items we brought, executing everything perfectly. This allowed us to focus entirely on enjoying the day without a worry.
I cannot recommend Botleys Mansion enough, we planned our wedding
in 8 months and they truly gave us the wedding of our dreams. We can't believe it's all over and would love to relive the day again as it was honestly the best day of our lives. Thank you Botleys Mansion, for everything! -

Gisele Sent on 01/09/2024The perfect day!
We just want to say a massive thank you to the amazing team at Botleys. The minute we entered the house on the open day we knew it we our wedding venue. The staff were so friendly and not at all pushy and we knew immediately we were in safe hands. Lucy, as our wedding coordinator could not have done more for us. She understood exactly what we wanted and made it all happen. She and her team were so caring of us and all our guests. Maxine, as well, did everything to extend our night when our guests wanted to carry on dancing. The whole wedding was just beautiful and seamless, the team are so talented and just really great people,
Honestly, thank you so much for the perfect day!

Andrea Sent on 26/08/2024Magical and exclusive venue
My husband and i celebrated our wedding there in April this year and had such a wonderful and magical day.
At no point in planning did we think our wedding would be described as magical but we’ve kept hearing that from our guests feedback. The mansion was truly spectacular especially at sunset and the service from the team was top notch to match.
We had such a relaxed day and the managers on the day Sarah and emcee Tom did such an amazing job taking care of us so that we could focus on having fun.
Sarah was super attentive and thoughtful of my husband and I, making sure we had drinks at hand. Tom the host did an amazing job and adapted so well to the two of us. The events really went without a hitch with his direction.
The wonderful night managers and bar staff ensured seamless transitions into the night events. From letting me know early on re the delays in dance floor set up and making quick decisions re plan for fireworks etc! The bar staff had a tall order and I can safely say all our guest had plenty to drink so they did their job great!
The run up to the day was also a seamless process with Maddie and Megs direction. And the on the day management of external suppliers was superb! -
