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!

The moment we stepped into the ceremony room at The Reid Rooms, we knew it was the one for us. It’s so romantic! We had the most beautiful day of our lives, and we can’t thank all of the staff that made it possible enough. Special thanks to Stephanie who was our coordinator who made sure the day ran as smoothly as possible. The farmhouse was such a perfect place to get ready and stay, and it was lovely to have breakfast with our family in the morning. We used both the caterers and the DJ recommended by the Reid Rooms, and were very happy with our choices! The venue looked absolutely beautiful on the day, and it was amazing to be able to go in the day before to get all out of decor set up. Also thank you to the lovely ladies in the office who answered my millions of questions during planning. I wish we could do it all over again Thank you to The Reid Rooms for giving us the most special day💖

Me and my husband recently got married here and it was the most beautiful venue and would highly recommend if you are looking for a perfect venue. Umesh, Molly & Robyn were all so lovely and friendly and done everything to make our day as perfect as it could be. Everyone who came said how beautiful it was & thank you to the staff for making it perfect! The food was so so good and our friends and family loved it and said how tasty it was. The garden was so sunny and floral & the drink choices were great. Thank you to all xx

Our journey with Apton Hall began just over two years ago. We discovered the venue online and immediately thought it looked like it could tick all our boxes. From the moment we visited for the first time, we both completely fell in love with the place. It had everything we were looking for: the beautiful country feel, the intimacy and character we loved, while still being grand and spacious enough to accommodate all of our guests. It genuinely felt perfect for us. We booked our wedding with our planner, Hayley, who was absolutely amazing from the very beginning, and before we knew it, our wedding day had arrived. Looking back, we couldn’t be happier that we chose Apton Hall. The day was everything we hoped it would be and more. The venue looked absolutely fantastic, and the staff were simply superb. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and everyone went above and beyond to make sure that we and our guests were looked after throughout the entire day. A very special thank you has to go to Rebecca and the team for all their help and for the exceptional service they provided on the day. Their attention to detail, professionalism and genuine care were outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble, and they played a huge part in making sure everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. The food and drink were excellent, the atmosphere was fantastic, and we partied well into the night! We honestly can’t thank Hayley, Rebecca and the entire team at Apton Hall enough for everything they did to make our wedding day so special and memorable. It really was the perfect day, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Apton Hall to anyone looking for an incredible wedding venue. Thank you for giving us a day we will never forget. ❤️ Leanne & Robert Powell

Booked this venue for my mom’s wedding! It met all our expectations and some. The team was professional, very detailed and knowledgeable regarding events. We were assisted and guided and supported by very step of the way. You will not regret booking this venue if you want to add class to an event. It is great value for money whether you need a venue for an event or a place to be wed! Look no further. We had a truly unforgettable day! Guests still messages about how amazing the day was and how beautiful the venue was. Thank you to all who assisted us.

Where do we start! We first knew of Smeetham as we attended a wedding here in 2021 and loved the venue, as well as how smoothly the day ran and how lovely the staff were. When it came to looking for our own wedding venue we knew we wanted to go back and have another look. We went to an open day and booked just a few days later. There were lots of things that appealed to us about Smeetham, particularly the fact that we were able to provide our own alcohol up until after the speeches, which made the overall pricing much more reasonable than other venues we had looked at. We also loved that we had access to the venue for four hours the day before the wedding, giving us time to set everything up and add our own personal touches without feeling stressed or rushed. The barn itself is absolutely beautiful. We got married in November, so it really came alive once it got dark. The fairy lights, candlelight and rich colours of the barn created such a lovely atmosphere. Lots of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and what a good find it was. Throughout the planning process, Victoria and Sophie were always so attentive and responsive. They made us feel really looked after and never like we were just another booking. We also chose a number of suppliers who regularly work with Smeetham, which made everything run really smoothly as they know the venue so well and work together so often. We honestly didn’t feel stressed throughout the planning process because we knew we were in good hands. The setting itself is lovely. It's peaceful and tucked away, but still conveniently close to accommodation options. There's also plenty of parking at the venue. The lake makes a really lovely first impression as you arrive and the house itself is beautiful, providing a gorgeous backdrop. There are also plenty of lovely spots around the grounds for photographs. After the wedding we really appreciated having a decent amount of time the following day to pack everything up and say goodbye to the venue, rather than feeling rushed to get everything out. We would highly recommend Smeetham and really hope we know someone who gets married there in the future so we can go back! The whole experience felt so personal, from the open day right through to packing up the following day. It now holds a very special place in both our hearts and we’re so glad we chose it for our wedding.

Perfect venue for our wedding. So helpful, friendly and just perfect! We dry hired and i had heard themat venues arent as helpful when you dry hire but holiday inn was super helpful. All the way from planning to after the wedding! The grounds are beautiful and the weather was glorious for our outdoor ceremony and we had the best wedding reception in the Elizabeth suite and we used the lakeside suite as a childrens room and hired an entertainer. Most of our guests spent the entire weekend there. The kitchen staff at breakfast were so lovely, she even held the kitchen open for an extra 5 minutes for us the morning after the ceremony so that we could all enjoy breakfast. I'm really pleased we chose this venue.
