Absolutely amazing venue

What can I say about the venue, deans court is absolutely perfect in every way the setting is beautiful and the staff are more than helpful they quite literally make your day run so smoothly. Even during planning they were a phone call or email away, nothing was a problem from start to finish, they helped us and guided us when needed. I cannot recommend the venue enough. A massive thankyou to Georgia, Catherine and Steve who made our day so incredible.

The most magical day!

Wow! The most incredible venue! From our first venue tour at Deans Court we came out and knew that it was the perfect venue for us. The location and the grounds are stunning, and it was perfect for us. Georgia and the whole team at Deans Court were fabulous, from planning the day and our thousands of questions, to the running of the day itself we didn’t have to think of anything. We had access to the venue the day before which was great and we used the accommodation on site which added to the lovely homely feel. We truly had the best day and it couldn’t have happened without the fabulous team at Deans Court, and Georgia in particular who helped our day run magically from start to finish, with a hint of pixie dust too. Would 1000% recommend to anyone!

Brilliant venue

Deans Court was the most wonderful venue for our wedding, I couldn't recommend it enough. Not only was the setting absolutely stunning (which was mentioned countless times by our guests), but the Events Manager, Georgia, was absolutely brilliant as well. Nothing was too much for her and her team, and her communication running up to the wedding was great. Everything we wanted to happen on the day was accommodated, and we felt the price was extremely reasonable for what we got.

Highly recommend!

We had our wedding at Deans Court in August 2024, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. From the very first visit, we knew it was the perfect venue for us. The stunning grounds, the historic house, and the beautifully maintained marquee area all contributed to the most magical setting for our big day.

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but the organisation at Deans Court was seamless. Our wedding co-ordinator was Georgia, and she was fantastic. Communication was clear throughout, and she made the whole process stress-free. We had multiple check-ins leading up to the big day, and she was always on hand to provide guidance. She worked closely with our caterers (Molecular Magic) and suppliers, ensuring everything ran smoothly. No question was too small, and she went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests, from last minute seating changes to bespoke bar menus.

On the day itself, everything was flawless. The team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that the day unfolded exactly as we’d planned. The transitions between the different parts of the day—from the ceremony to drinks reception, dinner, and evening party were all managed seamlessly. The fact that we never had to worry about logistics meant we could be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We particularly appreciated the personal touches—small but thoughtful details that made a huge difference on the day. Georgia even brought me a glass of champagne while I was getting my hair done between courses, which was such a lovely touch!

If you’re looking for a wedding venue that is beautiful, well-organised, and run by a genuinely caring team, Deans Court is an outstanding choice. The setting is magical, the support from the team is incredible, and we truly had the most unforgettable day.

A huge thank you to Georgia and the entire Deans Court team for making our wedding so special—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Stop looking for another wedding venue!

If you are looking for a beautiful, romantic, picturesque venue then Deans Court is the place. From the moment we entered the venue we knew it was for us. It is the best background on which to build a wedding in your own personalised style. Every detail from the number of guests (we were small at 50), catering arrangements, entertainment and decor completely of your choosing. This was made so easy by the wonderful events team at Deans Court led by Georgia, who is totally invested in making your day come to life as you want it. She is incredibly professional, warm, and and an excellent communicator. Her organisational skills an attention to detail ensures your day plays out as you visualise it. Everyone in the team we encountered were equally lovely and despite this being their core business really made us feel special. The venue grounds are beautifully maintained, and provide a wonderful backdrop for photos of the day, we were even able to have our dogs join us!
We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day but there is an indoor contingency if the weather isn't kind. We are so grateful for the Hanham family for sharing their home, to the Deans Court staff especially the wonderful events team for giving us a day that we, our friends and family will remember and treasure forever.

Simply the best!!

I am not sure where to start! Georgia and the team at Deans court were amazing from the moment we secured our date. No question was a silly question and Georgia would go out of her way to try and make all our requests happen. They are very open with food and drinks options which worked for us as you did not just have to use one supplier which we liked. There is on site accommodation (we did not use this as we were local) which is very convenient if you have family coming from afar. We had access to the venue in the days leading up to the event which was lovely as I could see it all coming together before the day itself. The team at Denas court are so talented that I just provided the decorative pieces and some of my ideas and they really turned it into reality. Nothing was too much to ask even when it did involve moving items throughout the day to different areas. The venue itself is beautiful and the grounds are perfect for wedding pictures. Georgia is there throughout the day making sure everything goes smoothly so you can sit back, relax and take it all in. I would 100% recommend anyone to look at Deans Court it really is very special!

Wedding day of dreams!

From the moment we stepped into Deans Court we just knew it was the place for us. From start to finish Georgia and her amazing team could not do enough for us. This lady knows every aspect of weddings! No question or ask was too much and we were updated and informed of everything, every step of the way. Georgia felt more like a friend, no pressure, informative with updates, dealing with our suppliers and she truly took the overwhelming emotions out of the equation for us. From recommending suppliers, planning the order of the day- some of things you might not have considered when planning your wedding, to ensuring my father always had a cold beer in hand!
The day itself was flawless, the setting is just stunning- perfect for your photos, all little touches of festoon lights, fire pits and garden games and seating just gave us the laid back style we wanted.
Our family and friends were delighted with this hidden gem right on our doorstep, many telling us the best wedding ever and we have to agree!
Our heartfelt thanks to you all,
Vickie & Carl

The best day!

Thank you so much to Georgia and the team at Deans Court. Our day really was perfect and stress free. A stunning location, friendly and professional staff and very easy to communicate and plan the day. Everything was thought of and nothing was too much trouble - even last minute changes! We wouldn’t have wanted to get married anywhere else.

Perfection and More

We couldn’t have expected more from our wedding day. The planning, organisation and management on the day itself were to an extremely high level, the team did a fantastic job of making us and all our guests comfortable and relaxed for the whole day. The venue and grounds are exceptional and we’ve run out of superlatives to convey how happy we were with everything. If you need perfection, look no further than Deans Court!

Georgia and staff

Georgia made the experience utterly spectacular from start to finish and credit to all the staff at Deans Court
From the initial booking for the venue a professional, enthusiastic and responsive approach to the proceedings proved to be less fraught than envisaged

A great and fantastic day for Julia, myself and all our family and friends

An unforgettable experience indeed

Absolutely sublime

Words allude me with how fantastic this team is. Georgia is absolutely amazing, we couldn’t have done this day without her nor could we now imagine it without her. How anyone could manage a wedding without someone like Georgia and her team I don’t know. She made the day absolutely sublime. The day itself was stunning, the memory of it alone brings us to tears. My only set back is that we can’t do it all over again exactly as it was. Perfect. Thank you Georgia and to all the deans court team for the most special and amazing day of our lives.

The best day of our lives

Our wedding at Deans Court was the best day of our lives, and we couldn't have done it without the amazing team at Deans Court. Georgia was there throughout the whole process, and no question was too big or too small for her. Our guests commented on the stunning venue, how amazing Georgia and the Deans Court team were and the marquee was dressed exactly how we wanted it , which looked absolutely beautiful. We also stayed at Apple Cottage the night before which was perfect for getting ready the morning of the wedding, and the personal small touches made such a huge impact on our stay. We cannot thank Georgia and the Deans Court team enough for making our day truly special and unforgettable. If you want the wedding of your dreams, pick this venue!

Best wedding ever

We knew we wanted to have our wedding reception at Deans Court before we were even engaged and from the moment we booked it two years ago, the whole process has been seamless. Georgia has been so helpful from start to finish and nothing was ever too much. She was always at the end of an email when needed and definitely went above and beyond. The staff on the actual day were amazing and all so friendly and welcoming to all of our guests! We didn't even have to lift a finger in the setting up process and the team at DC so accommodating with how I wanted the marquee styled.
We were so lucky with the weather on the day and the running of the day could not have been more perfect. Everything went exactly to plan and that was definitely down to all of the staff and Georgia. The following day they had kindly put all of our belongings in a pile to collect.
Thank you to all of the team at DC, we truly had the best day of our lives and so many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to!

Amazing venue

Dean court was the most beautiful venue and everything we could have wished for. All the team but especially Georgia (who is incredible!) made sure the day ran smoothly from start to finish. I can not recommend them highly enough. Honestly there was no negatives or anything I would improve or change. 10/10 from the day we viewed all the way through to after the wedding.

We also stayed in all 3 cottages on site which were beautiful and felt like home from home for the weekend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
