Ashton Lodge Country House - EXCLUSIVE USE VENUE Reviews (93) Write a review Best day ever Venue Service By Daniel Hill, on 02 Jan 2020Date of Wedding - 21 Dec 2019 What can I say about Ashton lodge apart from it being amazing. The venue itself is a absolute knockout and the bedrooms give you a feel that is hard to describe. The privacy that you get is just amazing and anyone lucky enough to have a wedding here will be blown away. The staff are all amazing and the lovely Sarah is everything you could wish for in a host/planner/master of ceremonies, she literally does it all. Nothing was too much of a ask for any of the staff and they all went above and beyond to help me pull my day together at very short notice. The food is a 10/10 and will send everyone home happy and full and the breakfast is amazing. Our day was just spectacular and it's a huge thanks to Ashton lodge and all its staff that we was able to enjoy the fairytale that my wife had always dreamt of. I will be eternally grateful and I can't recommend enough. Nobody will be disappointed.Wedding Day Venue Service By Helen and Darren Laffey, on 12 Nov 2019Date of Wedding - 26 Oct 2019 I would 100% recommended this venue for your wedding. My husband and I got married here in October and we had the best day, the staff from start to finish were amazing. Our wedding planner Sarah went above and beyond making our day stress free. The waiting staff and bar staff were also wonderful. The venue itself is just beautiful, it rained when we got married but had it not the ground would of been perfect for lots of pictures having said this we got lots of pictures inside out gorgeous venue. The best venue we loved itThe perfect wedding venue Venue Service By Lisa King, on 18 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 12 Oct 2019 Sarah was always on hand to answer any queries. The venue was fantastic at catering to what we wanted for our wedding day. Their expertise in knowing how to cater, what to cater and how to order and structure your day was invaluable. During the months leading up to our wedding, Sarah would always check in to see how we were going, set up the next meeting and provide a detailed schedule as to what had been discussed and decided so far so that everyone was on the same page for the plans for the day. It really helped to keep us on track for what we needed to sort out next. They must handle a lot of weddings at any one time but they always knew exactly what our day was looking like and made us feel like we were the priority whenever they were speaking to/emailing us. On the day itself, the staff (in particular Natalie) were just outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble, always a smile and great customer service to our guests. The food was delicious - our guests commented to us throughout the day how much they loved the food and the venue. We could just enjoy our day safe in the knowledge that everything was being sorted by Natalie and the staff behind the scenes. It was as stress-free as planning a wedding could possibly get! The venue itself is stunning and everything you could possibly need/want for a wedding day. It's big and spacious inside so if it does rain on your day then you probably wouldn't even notice. Thank you so much for the perfect wedding day. It's a day we will cherish and reminisce about forever.Perfect day! Venue Service By Jemma & Darren Coyle-Bartley, on 25 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 11 Oct 2019 We got married here in October and the day could not have been more perfect (maybe apart from the weather!) From the moment we viewed the venue, we knew we wanted to get married here! The staff were all so helpful especially Sarah, who was amazing with helping to plan the day and answering all my emails very quickly. Mel was also amazing running the day and all the staff helped the day run smoothly! Many of the guests commented on how lovely the venue was and also how great the food was. Would highly recommend this beautiful venue!!Mr & Mrs Joynes Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Joynes, on 09 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 14 Sep 2019 From the very first moment we walked in to have a look around it was perfect. The staff were brilliant and the food was divine. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. This is definitely one of the most beautiful venues in Warwickshire, go and take a look you wont be disappointed.The most beautiful venue Venue Service By Paige, on 29 Aug 2019Date of Wedding - 24 Aug 2019 We got married here in August and had the best day of our lives. The venue is absolutely stunning and we loved it as soon as we came for a viewing, as did our family and friends when they arrived on our wedding day. The staff are amazing especially Sarah who organised our day and ensured everything ran smoothly and perfectly. Hotel rooms are beautiful and very clean. The food is gorgeous, we had the casual menu with the hog roast and vegetarian options. The staff made sure there was more than enough vegetarian food. The area of grass outside is ideal for children as we have a 1 and a half year old daughter and nephew who were kept occupied through the speeches etc. Overall, we couldn’t have picked a better venue, it was absolutely perfect. Would most definitely recommend. Venue Service By Kirsty, on 27 Aug 2019Date of Wedding - 18 Aug 2019 me and my husband booked Ashton lodge for our wedding day on 18th August 2019 from start to finish we have had great support and also assistance. the venue and staff are great they see that your day is how you would like it right down to the last detail . we are so pleased with the way our day turned out we could not have asked for a better day . thanks you so much to you all for helping this a great memory to treasure . Thank you ladiesMemories that will last forever Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Stewart, on 30 Aug 2019Date of Wedding - 09 Aug 2019 We fell in love with Ashton Lodge instantly and only looked at one other venue before quickly realising that no other venue could offer the same. The planning of the wedding was smooth and stress free with all the support from Sarah and the team. We visited as many times pre-wedding as we wanted/needed to going along with parents and decorations to check that everything worked. The team were really accommodating and reassuring in the run up to the big day and nothing was too much trouble. On the day itself the venue looked amazing, we have received so many compliments from guests saying how nice the venue was both the location and style. We also received lots of positive feedback regarding the food and drink. I think the nicest thing to hear was how well all our guests were looked after by the staff (big thanks to Natalie). The day was perfect and I cannot recommend Ashton Lodge highly enough as an outstanding wedding venue.Ashton Lodge Country House - Rugby - PERFECT! Venue Service By Suzi Jones, on 30 Jul 2019Date of Wedding - 20 Jul 2019 We had our wedding at Ashton Lodge Country House on 20th July 2019 and it could not have been more perfect! From planning through to the big day, Sarah and Natalie were on call to answer any questions we might have and assist us with any resolutions. The venue itself was exactly what we wanted. Small enough to feel intimate but large enough to give space. The photo opportunities were huge. Beautiful shots inside and out. On the day before and on the day itself Natalie was fantastic. She was calm, professional and on hand to make sure the day went to plan. The food was amazing - all our guests commented so, and the full english was definitely a bonus the morning after. I was worried about the night staff keeping the residents awake, but we didn't hear a thing! I cannot recommend Ashton Lodge Country House enough for a relaxed, elegant, secluded wedding. Perfect!Mr and Mrs McIntyre Venue Service By Rebecca McIntyre, on 15 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 08 Jun 2019 Myself and Michael got engaged In November and wanted to find a venue within a strict time period when Michael’s brother was over from Australia in 6 months time. Luckily we came across Ashton Lodge and noticed they used the same catering as my sister two years previous. The food at my sister’s wedding was stunning, and we knew having such a short amount of time to plan we could trust them. We fell in love with ceremony room and marque straight away (it was dark so hadn’t yet seen how lovely the grounds were) also the room where we got ready was just so special and I loved we could all get ready together there. Sarah was very helpful throughout the whole process always there to answer any questions we had big or small. When it came to the day, I felt so at home at Ashton Lodge and we could decorate everything how we wanted and added our own special touches. Everyone commented on how lovely the venue was, and how wonderful the food was. Natalie was brilliant, calm but also completely ‘on it’ just the right combination to make sure the day ran well but kept us chilled and happy. The head of the bar, Mel was excellent too. Everything was taken care off. We loved our wedding at Ashton Lodge and would fully recommend this venue and their team to any couples looking. Lots of love The McIntyresBest day ever Venue Service By Ruth Orton, on 03 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 17 May 2019 We didn't need to go and see any other venue - we knew Ashton Lodge was the right place for our wedding as soon as we walked in. The location is beautiful, the refurbishment that has taken place over the last few months just improved our original impressions, and the whole process from the day of booking, to the day itself was seamless. There are so many lovely spots for photographs and the marquee looks absolutely stunning when it's all set up. Food is amazing and the attention to detail - ensuring that everyone dietary needs where catered - was brilliant. We'd both like to say a massive thank you to both Sarah and Mel who helped us with everything - very professional, but with a lovely friendly approach.Our Royal wedding Venue Service By Sean and Rebecca, on 07 Jun 2018Date of Wedding - 19 May 2018 We got married on 19/05/18 and the staff was brilliant everything went as it should and the day was perfect.
