Our intimate wedding, made truly magical ✨
From the very first moment Foxhills entered our lives, it felt like stepping into something truly magical.
I still remember the exact moment it began. I had just emailed Cheyenne, and we were driving up to Foxhills for our first meeting. Halfway up the driveway, I made my fiancé pull over because I was convinced I must have done the maths wrong. There was simply no way somewhere so breathtaking, so elegant, so completely unforgettable could possibly be within reach for us - and we hadn’t even reached the top. I knew I couldn’t allow myself to fall any more in love with it if it turned out to be unachievable, as it already felt too perfect to be real.
With hesitation, we drove on, and it didn’t just meet our expectations, it completely surpassed them.
The Orangery, glowing with sunlight, effortlessly romantic and impossibly beautiful, instantly became the perfect setting for both our ceremony and our intimate wedding breakfast. It was everything I had ever dreamed of and more. Every single moment spent in that space felt warm, personal and completely magical, like it had been made for us, and that was even before the stunning renovation (back when it still had that slightly dated cream leather bench!).
The moment we met Cheyenne and Lydia, any nerves we had simply melted away. They were personable, funny and genuine, and just real people who clearly cared deeply about what they do. There were no hidden costs, no agendas and no pressure - just honesty, excitement and a shared vision of making our day special. Not only was everything transparent, but they were also incredibly generous, offering thoughtful extras like place settings, wedding signs and linen tablecloths that other venues either charge for or don’t provide at all. When I ended up choosing to source some of my own pieces, that was embraced just as warmly. They truly wanted the day to be perfect for us, whatever that looked like.
My now husband is not the gushy type in the slightest, but even he was completely lost for words. That alone says everything - Foxhills has a way of leaving even the most reserved people in awe, although the golf course may have played a part.
Of course, like any wedding, there were a couple of moments of miscommunication along the way. There were times of doubt, a few tears and moments where the process didn’t feel as smooth as we’d hoped. But what truly sets Foxhills apart is how those moments were handled. We were met with professionalism, care and genuine attentiveness at every turn. Despite having a smaller, more intimate wedding, we were made to feel just as important as any larger celebration. We had meetings with senior team members, the lead project manager of the renovation and even the managing director, whom we had the pleasure of meeting several times during our visits. That level of accessibility and care made this family-owned business feel incredibly personal, like every single guest truly matters.
The attention to detail throughout the entire process was nothing short of incredible. On the day itself, Cheyenne was an absolute angel. She quite literally took all the stress away. At one point she was even sitting on the floor fixing my dress, while organising and coordinating everything seamlessly behind the scenes. Because of her, and the entire team, my husband and I were able to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the day, knowing every tiny detail was being handled with care.
Every single one of our guests commented on how stunning everything was, the grounds, the rooms, the facilities and the food, all of it. The food alone deserves its own separate review because of the quality, creativity and sheer deliciousness, which goes far beyond what you’d normally expect from wedding dining.
Some of our guests even had the chance to casually meet the owner, who clearly takes a hands on approach and is often present, ensuring every guest’s experience is exceptional. Whether you are a member or visiting for a once in a lifetime event, you feel valued, seen and genuinely welcomed.
I grew up as a Disney girl, always dreaming of being a princess and believing that “dreams are a wish your heart makes”, and somehow Foxhills made my dreams come true. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, I felt like I was living in my own little “bibbidi bobbidi” bubble. It was pure magic.
There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am to everyone. From the wait staff and reception team, to the chef, Kelly, the operations team (a special thank you again to Alan for stepping in at the last second), the wedding and events team and right up to the very top, every single person played a part in making our day unforgettable.
On your wedding day, you are supposed to feel like the most important people in the world, and Foxhills did not just achieve that, they exceeded it in every possible way.
They will forever be the reason our wedding day was completely, utterly magical and so will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
Thank you!
