My partner and I had our wedding at Teybrook Orchard this week, and we all had the best day! The team in the day were amazing, and worked hard to keep the drinks flowing! Gill, our wedding planner, was amazing from start to finish, and offered support up until the end of our stay! There's nothing I can fault. The venue is stunning, the accommodations are comfortable and beautiful, and the facilities are amazing! I highly recommend looking at this location for your event!

Amazing venue for a wedding. The bar staff and co-ordinator were incredibly helpful and kind, the wedding went so smoothly thanks to their efforts. Lakeside ceremony was the perfect setting, and the forest walk to the venue gave it a magical feel and produced some gorgeous photographs of the day. Glamping was a great addition as it lent a real festival atmosphere to the whole day. Wish we could do it all again, and we would recommend Chalkney Water Meadows to anybody.

Where do we even begin? Teybrook Orchard by Brown & Rose was everything we dreamed our wedding venue would be and so much more.

From the very first time Garry and I walked into Teybrook Orchard, we felt completely at home. There is something incredibly special about this place. Hidden away amongst the trees, it feels romantic, intimate, relaxed and almost magical — like your own little world for the weekend. So many of our guests commented on how stunning the venue was and, more importantly, how lovely it felt. It has a warmth and homeliness that is really difficult to describe until you experience it.

Our wedding genuinely felt like a fairy tale. The setting has such a natural WOW factor, while still feeling relaxed and personal rather than like a traditional wedding venue.

The accommodation was beautiful, spotlessly clean and presented perfectly. Having ourselves and our guests staying there made the whole experience even more special and gave us memories that went far beyond just the wedding day itself.

The entire team were professional, friendly and incredibly helpful, and everything on the day ran so smoothly. We were able to completely relax and enjoy our wedding because we knew everything was being taken care of.

And then there is Gill Jenkins. ❤️

Calling Gill our wedding coordinator almost doesn't feel enough because by the time our wedding arrived, she genuinely felt like a friend. The amount of time, care and support she gave us throughout the planning was incredible. There were countless messages and voice notes backwards and forwards between Gill and me, and she was always there to answer questions, reassure me or help make an idea happen.

On the wedding day she was there from beginning to end, but somehow never felt like “staff” — she felt like part of our wedding. At one point she was even on the dance floor dancing with me, which probably sums up perfectly the relationship we'd built! 😂❤️

Gill, thank you. Thank you for all the messages, the voice notes, the reassurance, the laughs and for caring about our wedding as much as you did. You played such a huge part in making our day what it was, and we genuinely feel that we have come away from this experience with a friend.

We cannot recommend Brown & Rose and Teybrook Orchard highly enough. Five stars simply doesn't feel enough. If we could give a million, we would.

If you're looking for somewhere romantic, magical, relaxed, different and full of personality, go and see Teybrook Orchard. We have absolutely no doubt that you'll walk in and feel exactly what we did.

Our wedding was truly magical, and this beautiful place and its wonderful people will forever be part of our story. A million percent recommended. ❤️🌿✨

If I could live our wedding day at Chalkney Water Meadows over again every week I would happily do it! It was incredible, magical, emotional, beautiful, joyful, hilarious... just everything!

Gill is one of the warmest, funniest and most reassuring people I've ever met, and I can't thank her enough for bringing my festival-style wedding to life. No question was too big, too small, or too random and she just got us, our day was everything we hoped for and so much more. The whole team were amazing too, from Sarah's patience with our glamping guest bookings to the brilliant bar team who kept the drinks flowing all day and night.

If you're not sure whether to book a Browning Bros wedding venue, I say DO IT! Trust me, you won't regret it - your day will be unforgettable, and the photos will be stunning!

P.s. book the Kingfisher's Nest for the weekend (or longer) for your stay over - it's AMAZING!!

We fell in love with Teybrook Orchard the moment we first visited. It was the only venue we visited, but I'm so glad we went with our gut and booked our Wedding here - we truly had the most magical & fun weekend!

Teybrook is so naturally beautiful and relaxed, it was the perfect venue for our wedding. We loved that we could hire the venue from Friday to Sunday, for a whole weekend of relaxing & celebrating. There are so many different areas for guests to explore - Our younger guests particularly loved playing in the field and the sculpture trail! We heard so many compliments from our guests about how wonderful the venue was.

The Browning Bros team were fantastic throughout the whole process and we can't thank Kristie & Gill enough for all their help in particular.

We had our wedding at Teybrook Orchard in June 2026. The venue was beautiful and very well looked after. Our guests enjoyed the glamping and it was great to be able to enjoy the venue across the weekend and spend more time with our guests. This also made it feel like very good value for money. The staff were amazing from start to finish, in particular Gill who went above and beyond for us and was always one step ahead to ensure our day was as perfecft as possible. We also loved that we were able to choose our own suppliers allowing us to add lots of personal touches to our day. We would 100% recommend Teybrook Orchard to anyone wanting a wild wedding

This venue is incredible, we had a magical fairytale wedding in Teybrook Orchard!
The team was so helpful from the second we booked it right up until we left, their attention to detail, eagerness to help and their professionalism made everything so easy and pleasant.
We couldn't have asked for anything better!

If you want a truly magical venue for your wedding, this is the place.
We had the most perfect experience from first viewing all the way through to after our wedding day. When we booked we didn't think it could get more amazing, then we arrived the day before the wedding and saw the new marquee. It's so light, dreamy and feels massive!
Anyone who loves the outdoors, will feel at home as soon as you drive through the gates and walk over the bridge. There is even the added bonus of adorable yurts to stay in too!
A viewing here is an absolute must as the photos could never do it justice.
We can't thank all of the Browning Bros staff (and most importantly Gill) enough for an absolutely perfect day for us and all of our guests 💚

We had an amazing experience with this wedding venue – it truly had everything we wanted for our special day. One of the things we loved most was how flexible it was; we were able to tailor our day exactly how we wanted while still staying within our budget, which made the whole planning process so much less stressful.
A special mention has to go to Holly, the wedding coordinator. She was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and supported us every step of the way. We honestly can’t speak highly enough of her. On the day itself, she was calm, organised, and incredibly reassuring – even stepping in to cut our cake when one of our groomsmen started making a bit of a mess of it!
We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team and would highly recommend it to anyone planning their wedding.

When we first started looking at venues to host our wedding, we were so shocked to find how restrictive so many of them are - with very limited suppliers you are allowed to use. For us, our wedding was an expression of who we are and what we mean to each other, so a packaged deal to have a wedding the same as everyone else’s was not what we wanted.

So when we told Browning Bros that we wanted to have a picnic where all our guests would be bringing their own food, we expected there to be some scepticism. But this isn’t what happened at all - our ideas were completely embraced.

Gill was our Event Manager and took the time to really get to know us and what we wanted, so she really understood the brief. She knew the site so well that she could recommend ideas she knew we would love. And the day before we were talking about the decor, Gill suggested we got a pineapple (which sounds bizarre but was so perfect) and even went out and got one for us on the morning of the wedding to decorate the aisle. That meant so much to us! By that point she knew better than us what we would love, and that personal connection she had built with us was the reason it all came together.

It goes without saying how beautiful the venue is, you’ve seen the pictures! Our guests just absolutely loved being there for the weekend. It is flat so great for older relatives and the facilities for the campers included a kitchen and showers meant that they all really enjoyed the experience and it didn’t feel like they were roughing it at any point. In fact, everyone that stayed over had the best time - even those who previously hated camping - they are converts!

We are so grateful to Gill and the team who gave us the most magical, personal wedding we could have dreamed of. Our guests are going to be talking about it forever. THANK YOU ❤️💙🧡💛💜💚🩷

We had our wedding at Chalkney Water Meadow, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The relaxed, festival-style vibe was exactly what we were looking for, and the setting couldn’t have been more perfect. Surrounded by nature, with a beautiful open space and a laid-back atmosphere, it felt like our own little world for the weekend.
We stayed in the beautiful on-site lodges, which were a peaceful and comfortable retreat before and after the big day. Our guests absolutely loved the glamping experience—everyone raved about how fun and unique it was to spend the weekend in bell tents under the stars. It really added to the atmosphere and made the whole celebration feel more like a mini festival than just a one-day event.
From start to finish, Holly was absolutely incredible. She was calm, kind, and completely on top of everything—guiding us through the planning process and making the entire weekend run smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, which meant we could truly enjoy the moment.Holly’s communication with us was absolutely incredible,her knowledge and advice was outstanding and she exceeded our expectations.Holly was instrumental in a perfect weekend.
The staff at the venue were also amazing—friendly, helpful, and always one step ahead. Every detail was thought through, and it all came together so naturally.
We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about the vibe, the setting, and how well the day flowed. If you’re after a unique, relaxed wedding in a beautiful location with an exceptional team behind it, we can’t recommend Chalkney Water Meadow and Holly highly enough.

We had our wedding at Teybrook Orchard, run by the amazing Browning Bros, and it was truly everything we could have dreamed of and more. From the moment we arrived, we knew it was the perfect setting for our autumnal woodland wedding — rustic, romantic, and completely magical.

Our wonderful wedding coordinator Gill was an absolute star. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail ran smoothly, from the ceremony to the evening celebrations. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her calm, friendly approach meant we could truly relax and enjoy every moment.

The venue itself is breathtaking — surrounded by beautiful trees and nature, it created the perfect backdrop for our traditional handfasting ceremony. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how unique and atmospheric the setting was, especially with all the autumn colours adding to the enchantment.

We’ll treasure the memories of our day at Teybrook Orchard forever. If you’re dreaming of a woodland wedding that feels natural, relaxed, and filled with magic, we couldn’t recommend Browning Bros and Gill highly enough. It was everything we hoped for — and more

We got married a few weeks ago at Chalkney Water Meadows and we highly recommend the venue if you're looking for a wedding in the middle of the nature ! We were lucky enough to have most of the time under the sun. The venue isn't cheap when you add all the suppliers for your special day but it is a really beautiful environment.
Holly and Gill were amazing and helped us before and on the special day. We also loved the Waterlily lodge, it's a very nice lodge for a group of 6 people.

My partner and I celebrated our wedding at this venue and it was nothing short of magical. It was so nice to camp amongst our family and friends and end the night sat around the fire. The yurts are so comfortable you wouldn't even know you're camping! They are kitted out with everything you might need, including an electric blanket for colder nights. The toilet and shower facilities were modern and clean, and created a great space for everyone to get ready together the morning of the wedding. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and crockery, and there was enough fridge and freezer space to keep us going all weekend. The Browning Bros staff were on hand to make everything run smoothly and were quick to resolve any issues that arose over the weekend.

This has taken a long time to write, simply because I don’t know how I can put into words how amazing our wedding at Chalkney Water Meadows was in June 2025… But here goes!
When we began looking for outside wedding venues, the venue kept popping up online. It was the first venue we viewed, and subsequently the only one! We fell in love with the beauty of the venue and the relaxed feel, it was perfect.
Holly was great in explaining everything, we had regular catch ups and she provided all the information we needed, as well as all the answers to our many questions!
On our wedding day, Meg and the Browning Bros staff were superb. Especially given it was a 30°C day! Meg suggested we move the speeches outside into the shade after the wedding breakfast, which was a fantastic idea and was appreciated by all!
All the day guests, glampers and campers had a wonderful time and there were so many compliments about the venue and the staff.
We had the most incredible day and it will remain one of the happiest memories of our lives, thank you all! :)
