Tortworth Court Winter Wedding

My wife and I celebrated our wedding at Tortworth Court on 25/12/2025. Throughout the entire process, the wedding coordination team were absolutely incredible. We would highly recommend Tortworth Court as a wedding venue.
Communication:
From the booking process to the day itself. The wedding coordination team always made time to accommodate requests and stayed in constant communication. Reducing stress significantly.
Organisation:
We had the pleasure of being handled by Alex and later by Kate (due to Alex going on maternity leave, Congratulations by the way!). The handover process between coordinators was seamless and it was clear their systems were well updated and communication between the team was strong. We were given access to a shared google sheets document to store all of our wedding planning information. A genius way for the team to keep tabs on our planning and allow for transparent communication.
The Venue:
As our wedding ceremony took place in a church, we used Tortworth Court for the drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening do.
The drinks reception took place in the Brunel room, a beautiful space with a wooden bar. We were initially worried about this space as we first saw it with corporate conference furniture. We needn't have worried, on the day the space was decked out with elegant marble topped tables.
Our wedding breakfast and evening do took place in the Orangery, a breathtaking and intimate space. We had a top table, with 9 round tables fitting a total of 100 guests. As night fell, the orangery was lit up and looked incredible from all angles.
The surrounding grounds were picturesque and perfect for our wedding photographs.
The Food:
From the canapes to the wedding breakfast, the food was served to a very high standard, and we got lots of positive feedback from our guests. Our evening food was partly catered by Tortworth Court, as we had a Sri Lankan food truck (Srilicious) as our main dish. The day was organised in a way that the guests never went hungry.
On the day:
We had the absolute pleasure of having Danke as our operations manager on the day and we were incredibly impressed by her energy, quick thinking and troubleshooting ability. She saved the day (quite literally) on many occasions and was very personable. Thank you so much Danke for everything you did to make our day so special.
We also had Toastmaster Dave as our constant companion throughout the day. We was great at organising guests and making announcements. Thank you Dave!!
The rooms:
The majority of our guests stayed at the hotel, despite the busy Christmas/New Year period, we had no trouble getting everyone booked in. There was a little issue with the check in on the day before, but this was quickly handled, and Tortworth court kindly offered us use of the Brunel room for a dinner gathering on the night before, this turned out to be very special and added to the wedding experience.
Hopefully I haven't missed out anything important in this review, but it is clear to us that Tortworth Court is a highly professional wedding venue and all the individuals involved worked hard to make sure we had the best day ever! Would highly recommend! Thank you everyone!

Incredible day

I had the most amazing wedding day - I wouldn't have changed a thing. Beautiful venue, great food and really well organised. Elvis was brilliant and was there every step of the way - discreetly resolving any blips and keeping calm throughout. Dave was an excellent toastmaster - so kind and composed. I am so so happy that we chose to get married at Tortworth.

April Wedding 2025

We got married in the orangery in Tortworth Court in April. All of the staff were amazing from the booking process to the day of the wedding. Becky was fantastic on the day and we could not have asked for more from her. She helped us unload the decorations the day before and stored them securely, she decorated the venue for us, kept checking on both myself and husband to ensure we were ok and had everything we needed, and made sure we always had a drink in hand. The venue is 10/10 stunning and I’d recommend the venue to anyone.

Perfect venue

We got married in the Orangery in April 2025- Thank you to Eve and the whole team, there is not one thing we would change about the day it was the most magical day.
Eve made the whole planning process stress free and we could not thank her more for all your help and advice across the whole process.
Everyone said the day was amazing and beautiful and I could not thank Danka more for everything she done in the day to making sure we had more coffee and water, to decorating the orangery and taking everything into the Brunel Suit to decorate in there to even helping our photographer Martin with our wedding photos.
All of the staff when helping with our wedding breakfast was perfect and really made the day so much more special, even recognising that two people was taking it in turns to look after their one year old so bringing out their food separate.
The care we received from the moment we arrived on the Saturday to everything they done on the day was unbelievable and I cannot thank you all enough for everything you done for us.
I would recommend you all to everyone planning on getting married and would do it again in a heartbeat.

It’s been a pleasure and you made our day a dream come true.

Magical Venue, Incredible Team

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue. Everything was flawless, the grounds and the building itself are absolutely breathtaking, our guests were genuinely in awe of its beauty.
We spent the entire day here, and it was everything we had hoped for and more. Every detail was catered for, and the day ran so smoothly thanks to the incredible team on site. A very special shout out goes to Eve and Becky, our wonderful wedding coordinators, they were with us every step of the way, so calm, kind, and professional. Their support and organisation made the whole experience stress-free and truly enjoyable. They genuinely cared about making our day perfect, and we’re so grateful for them.
We couldn’t have imagined a more magical setting for our day. Truly unforgettable!

Picture perfect wedding venue!

We are so proud of ourselves for deciding to have our wedding at De Vere Tortworth! It’s been 8 months since our big day, and we still have friends and family talking about how blown away they were by everything. The staff seamlessly transitioned the venue throughout the night and were nothing short of spectacular. The wedding coordinators Alexandra and Elvis, were PERFECT. Kept everything running smoothly while we could just enjoy our wedding. We are looking forward to spending our one year anniversary here and plan to visit many more times. 5 stars. Highly recommend!

Beautiful venue and a magical day!

Our wedding day at De Vere Tortworth Court was nothing short of magical. The dedicated wedding team was incredibly helpful and attentive, guiding us through every step of the planning process. A massive shout out to Polly for all the hand holding through the process, Danka for taking over on the day and making sure everything ran smoothly for us and Elvis for being everywhere and anywhere on the day to help us and the guests!

The Orangery, where we held our ceremony and wedding breakfast, was simply breathtaking. The architecture is stunning and it feels like a setting that was equally as beautiful during the day as it is lit up at night. The food was amazing, our guests loved their food and the venue.

We highly recommend De Vere Tortworth Court to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable wedding venue and day.

The pure elegance of Tortworth Court meets a Rustic Tipi Wedding

I have nothing but praise for the team at De Vere Tortworth Court. Eve was incredibly efficient as our wedding planner and hand holder, she kept us on track every step of the way. I felt the communication and meetings were so helpful. Elvis on the day was just a dream, he organised EVERYONE and brought my vision to life! Our guests absolutely LOVED him and suppliers too. They work so hard for you, ensuring your day is everything you dream of and MORE! I would strongly recommend this venue, oh and if you’re after a rustic vibe, use their Tipi for your wedding breakfast - it’s such a more relaxed setting and our guests LOVED the tapas buffet. I can wholeheartedly recommend! You wont regret it!

Stunning Venue

We had the best day at Tortworth Court. I had my heart set on an Orangery & my partner wanted an on site venue where guests could stay the weekend. Tortworth ticked all the boxes. The Orangery is absolutely stunning and allowed us to have outdoor vibes under shelter (which turned out to be necessary as we had a very wet day). We landed on a Tropical theme for the wedding which worked perfectly in the orangery too.

Eve was always on hand to answer my many questions in the build up and we had Zoom check in's along the way to run through everything. Danka also took charge on the day and made sure that everything ran smoothly for us. Everything went to plan (despite people assuring me that something would go wrong and I should accept it!). We had the most amazing day - thank you everyone at Tortworth Court for making it so special!

The Perfect Wedding Venue


What a place to get married! We feel so privileged to have got married in the orangery. Such a beautiful setting for a special day, we did not need to add many touches as it is already breathtaking with what is already included.
Elvis was brilliant throughout, greeting us the day before and looking after us throughout the day, appearing to be everywhere needed. He was very professional and made sure everything was perfect, fitting the MOB’s bracelet, fixing all the groomsmen’s buttonholes, organising everyone and ensuring the day went seamlessly and looking after the guests who all commented that they loved him. Jane was fabulous as well, she was very witty and added some pizzazz to the day. We had the perfect wedding co-ordinator and the perfect toastmaster.
The food was delicious and was enjoyed by all. There were plenty of rooms to accommodate all our guests which were all finished to a high standard. The breakfast was a great way to end our stay and we will be coming back for any reason that we can think of. Would recommend 11/10!

Perfect venue for a wedding

My husband and I recently had our wedding at Tortworth Court. It is the most stunning venue, and the wedding co-ordinating staff are exceptional, especially Elvis! Any question, any suggestion or idea the team couldn't be more helpful to bring our vision to life. The facilities, staff, food, venue - everything was exceptional.

Amazing Team

Such an amazing day thanks to the best team. Nothing was too much trouble. They all made sure our day went as smoothly as possible. Even when we had a disaster with some of the bridesmaids dresses they made sure it was sorted.

Magical wedding venue

Me and my husband got married here last March 2024. It is worth every penny and we had the best experience planning our wedding from site visit up until the wedding. Polly was amazing, she did the tour during the site visit and she answered all our queries. It was a smooth transaction until we booked the venue. We were handed over to Eve who took care of us from meal tasting leading up to the final meeting. She was responsive to all of our queries, and had good communication with our suppliers. From the final meeting up to the wedding day, we were handed over to Elvis. My oh my he is heaven sent! I was not anxious nor stressed during my wedding day. He took care of everything. He was organized and very meticulous of which matches how I am as a bride, and so I was relaxed knowing that Elvis is there to take care of things. I can never forget that he always checks on us, if we need a drink etc. He is amazing! the wedding team in tortworth is amazing. For the brides/ couple:

Food: 10/10- Generous portion, good selection, and impeccable taste. All our guests loved their food.
Venue: 10/10- need I say more? We were married at the orangery and it was magical.
Rooms: apart from our junior suite room, I also checked up on my guests and their rooms were clean and nice.
Service: 9/10- The concierge were nice and accommodating.
Wedding team: 10/10- Smooth sailing planning and transactions.
Overall: 10/10. you get your money’s worth and more. Truly the best day of my life.

A winter wedding in The Orangery - Fantastic venue and service

My wife and I got married at De Vere Tortworth Court during February 2024. Our decision to go with the venue was made when we saw The Orangery for the first time - the architecture is stunning and it feels like a setting that is equally as beautiful during the day as it is lit up at night.

We were also thrilled with the service that we received from Alex (Wedding Coordinator) and Elvis (Events Floor Manager) throughout the planning and on the wedding weekend. We couldn’t have asked anything more from both of them and were very grateful for the energy, friendliness, and attention to detail that they both brought. Their input made a big difference to our overall experience knowing that we had confidence in experienced and professional pairs of hands to help with any queries or arrangements.

We would highly recommend The Orangery as a wedding venue, and Alex, Elvis, and the rest of the team at De Vere Tortworth Court.

Magical Day

The team at Tortworth were very responsive to emails. Once we got into our final year before the wedding we were allocated a person and they were very good at getting back to me prior to the wedding.

Our coordinator went through our plan with us on three occasions in person and in the third meeting, we met our banqueting manager who would be with us on the day.

The banqueting manager and coordinator checked in with us throughout the day and were attentive to us. Waiting staff were not so good with our guests however and we have since received some comments that staff were no willing to answer guests questions or serve them drinks during the wedding breakfast.

We made wedding gift bags to go in guests rooms (who pre-booked through us), the team were helpful in putting these in rooms however two went missing which is obviously very disappointing as a lot of time and money was spent on creating these.

The venue it’s self is beautiful however probably needs updating/ finishing touches touched up where it has become slightly worn out.

Food was all good and we were happy with our menu choices.

Day after, we collected all of our items without a problem. Cakes however were an issue. We had two dietary requirement cupcakes made and they were not brought out during the wedding (even when my husband asked about their location) and were only found when we then asked again the next day. We were given a wedding cake which was not ours, got it home only to realise and it was then swapped and they were apologetic.

We loved our day however it has been a mixed experience which we thought we ought to share.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
