Dream come true

Our day ran seamlessly from start to finish! Jackie and Julie were a pleasure from initial meet to the Wedding day itself. The venue is stunning, the food was amazing and the waiting staff were flawless. I just wish I could do it all again!

The Best Day!

An excellent service! One of our guests who works in the food industry said that it was the best food he'd ever had at a wedding. It was delicious! Our day ran smoothly with Jackie checking in along with many other staff from the hotel. The whole day was extremely affordable and the venue was stunning. The room was really clean and set up with a lovely card and decorations on the bed. We loved using the spa the night before the wedding to help calm our nerves and we were looked after by the restaurant staff when we had a family meal the night before the wedding. A massive thank you to all the staff at Cottesmore. Highly recommend this venue.

Wedding review

Overall I would recommend Cottesmore as a wedding venue as it is very beautiful. Jackie and Julie the wedding coordinator’s were also very helpful and answered any questions every step of the way until our wedding day.

There were just a couple of minor things we weren’t entirely happy with…

The wedding coordinators had said the getting ready room wouldn’t be open until 9am. So times were a little tight for my makeup artist as she had 5 makeup’s to do. They wouldn’t let her in slightly earlier to even set up quietly so she was ready for 9am. However we did respect this rule.
But on the day the receptionist opened the getting ready room at 8:30am which was great.. but would have been nice to have known earlier so the make up artist could have set up and been ready earlier. Also conflicting since we had been told a firm no on it being open before 9am…

One other thing was the evening food was not labelled and so our guests weren’t sure on the allergy advice. Therefore not much food was eaten.

However despite these small things, we had a gorgeous wedding day and I would recommend getting married here :)

The best venue for the best day!

From the very first visit to Cottesmore, we knew straight away it was the perfect venue. The service from the initial enquiry through to our wedding day was exceptional from all members of staff that we spoke to. Jackie and Julie in the events team are fantastic, they made the planning process smooth sailing as they are so lovely, efficient and accommodating. All my questions were answered promptly and nothing was ever too much trouble.

We got married in October and kept our decorations minimal as the venue decor is already so beautiful. The food was delicious and the hotel rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Our family and friends were all so complimentary of the venue and day overall!
Everything you’d want or need from a wedding venue you can find here. We had an amazing time and a day we’ll never forget. A huge thanks to everyone at Cottesmore ☺️

Our Wedding

We got married here in August 2025 and we could not fault the venue, staff, catering and overall experience. It was a truly amazing day celebrating with family and friends and we are so glad we chose Cottesmore. Special mention to Jackie and Julie for all of their help in the lead up to the wedding, their organisation skills are second to none and allowed us to relax knowing it was all in safe hands! 10/10.

Wedding venue

Cottesmore is fantastic venue for wedding and so very reasonable in price. The rooms are lovely and decorated so your guests can enjoy the facilities Cottesmore have to offer. The food was delicious, the photos on the golf course are fantastic as there so much texture for the background.

The staff were brilliant, service on the wedding it self was above and beyond Luke specially was brilliant.

Highly recommend.

Review of Cottesmore Golf & Country Club - Wedding Venue

We had our perfect day on 22/11/25 at Cottesmore.
We chose to stay the night before with close family & friends which was lovely.
Jackie & Julie were great from our initial meeting until the end of our special day. They were great with communicating with us throughout & really knowledgeable & friendly.
Accommodation was lovely & having a balcony meant we could pop in & chat with our bridesmaids & friends which was so special.
All the food we had was lovely & bar staff & waiting staff were professional & genuinely looked happy for us!
The 'Getting Ready Room' was a lovely touch & again meant I could spend precious time with my bridesmaids before the service & friends could come & see me before the service for a little cry.
So many of our guests commented on how lovely the venue was & having the interconnecting doors for each of the three rooms was great - another big plus.
Cost-wise this venue was cheaper than others we had looked at & certainly delivered! We would both 100% recommend this venue for others.
Thank you Jackie & Julie for all your help in making our perfect day.
Best wishes
Nichola & Keith,

We had the best day at Cottesmore!

We don't know where to start! We had the best wedding day at Cottesmore thanks to the beautiful venue and the amazing staff. Everything went to plan and it was exactly how we had imagined.

Nothing was too much for everyone on the day and they made our guests feel so welcome.

I genuinely couldn't of asked for more!

The best venue

From requesting a brochure to our wedding day Cottesmore were brilliant. They answered any and all questions we had and were great help. We couldn't of asked for a better day thanks to everyone there. We got married at our Church and came here for our reception and we were greeted with a very friendly welcome and the day went perfectly. We would highly recommend them to any couple.
Thank you all so much Mr & Mrs Parr

Perfection from start to finish

We honestly cannot fault any part of our wedding experience at Cottesmore. From the first day we visited everyone has just been amazing. We dealt mainly with Julie throughout our planning but the wedding coordinators are so responsive and at all times it really feels like they care about making your special day perfect. This can be said for all of the staff at Cottesmore, everyone goes the extra mile. The organisation of the day was seamless and the venue itself is just gorgeous. It must be said that all our guests also throughly enjoyed the day and there has not been one bad word said about the venue, food, staff or the day itself everyone loved it! Can we do it all again please?!

Outstanding..

I cannot recommend Cottesmore enough for a wedding venue. The whole team work seamlessly together to ensure your day is as perfect as it can be. Jackie/Julie (the wedding coordinators) were always so incredibly helpful, always answer any questions, and put everything at ease. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, kept me updated on vendors, and was the calm in the fun chaos of the day.
Kerry on reception was amazing at sorting out all our rooms for the night before and the night of the wedding. She also kept me updated throughout, and juggled rooms to ensure every guest was comfortable.
The catering team of chefs, servers, bar staff, breakfast staff all super friendly, helpful, smiley and was never such a thing as a problem for them. We opted for the BBQ options of reception breakfast and WOW! Every single guest commented on how incredible the food was. The canapés were outstanding. The turnover of weddings could’ve been stressful but they handled it with ease, no tension and just honestly didn’t even notice it as a guest!
The maintenance staff were on it. There was 3 weddings in a row on the weekend we got married but that didn’t phase them, and we would never have known there was other weddings. They got the courtyard spotless before each one, all the flowers were beautifully blooming (perfect for the photos) and every room was cleaned.
We were able to get a golf buggy down to the lake to be able to get some good shots. Even the golfers were lovely!!
There’s a lovely getting ready room with everything you should need. Breakfast can be brought to you.
All our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, how amazing the food was and how the rooms are dressed so elegantly with stunning views/balcony's.

Overall, as the bride, the whole experience was outstanding, the grounds are to die for and perfect for the photography, they are organised and i believe brilliant value for money overall.
Thank you to everyone at Cottesmore who made our day extra special.

The perfect wedding venue 🤍

I was a June 2025 bride here at Cottesmore and I only have glowing feedback! We were wowed from our first viewing by the beautiful grounds and the brilliant organisation from events managers Jackie & Julie. The service we received from Jackie & Julie was incredible from start to finish, they were clear on the important bits and it always felt like they were excited with us. On the day, the team were seamless and I honestly can’t fault a thing. Our guests have been so complimentary of the venue and the staff which they met on the day. Thank you so much to Cottesmore for giving us such a fantastic day to remember.

July wedding

Such a great venue- really communicative the whole way through and lovely to deal with. We had such a wonderful day and so many of our guests raved about the venue. We loved the outdoor ceremony area, it was stunning in the sunshine as was the courtyard for reception drinks. We also loved the fact that a lot of our guests stayed in the hotel for the night, breakfast and a swim to catch up in the morning- perfect!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
