A perfect and magical venue

Where to start? Everything about Leigh Court was nothing short of perfect for our wedding day.

Claire was brilliant for the 12 months leading up to the big day, extremely responsive, warm, professional, organised and so so reassuring! Giles was coordinator on our day and ensured everything ran smoothly, and even came to the rescue when our DJ turned up missing a crucial electrical cable! All of the staff are a credit to the venue and really exceeded our expectations in terms of service and quality.

The venue itself is stunning and its beauty speaks for itself. We were keen to find a venue that wasn't a "blank canvas" and wouldn't require a huge expense for flowers and decorations, and Leigh Court certainly delivered that. The distinctive colours of each room set the foundations of our floral theme, and the unique architectural details of each room provided a little touch of magic. The venue is also effortlessly functional, with a number of rooms that can be opened up or closed off as needed, and plenty of access to the beautiful grounds via the large garden doors.

The reasonably new partnership with Epic Caterers is an excellent addition - again everything from our food tasting to the last nibbles of the evening was beautifully presented and so delicious, with a myriad of dietary requirements catered to with exceptional care and attention. The Epic staff on the day were flawless and we received so many compliments from our guests about the food and the level of service.

Truly every single person that contributed to our day did a phenomenal job. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Leigh Court as a wedding venue. I only wish we could do it all over again!

The perfect wedding venue

Simply beautiful! Leigh Court made for a perfect wedding venue.

The professionalism, patience and friendliness of our wedding planner, Claire Shea, was second to none and every detail we desired was catered for.

The ceremony was held in the breathtaking Great Hall, which set the scene for our magical day.

The food provided was exquisite and the table service as prompt as it was professional.

Entertainment in the form of garden games and a Bouncy castle kept the children happy, as well as those older in years, but still young at heart!

The day was rounded off superbly with a DJ playing our favourite songs, a caricaturist producing indescribably amusing works of art and more delicious food, much to the delight of our evening guests.

Sadly, our wonderful day had to come to an end, and only the provision of accommodation at the venue would have topped an otherwise exceptional experience, and perhaps more reaonably justified the cost of the event.

I would unresoundingly recommend Leigh Court as a wedding venue, to anybody looking for that special experience on their wedding day.

Mr & Mrs Tivney -Colfer

From the outset, the whole team were friendly and professional. Our Weddimg Organiser, Claire, was full of suggestions, and the caterers provided excellent food.
We wanted a fun-filled wedding, and even the staff joined in.
Nothing was too much trouble. even down to our individually designed table decorations.
All of our guests had a brilliant day, and one commented that if he gets married, he will choose Leigh Court
We can't praise them too highly; the preparations were meticulous, with regular contact throughout, and our manager on the day, Giles, was superb.
We must also mention that the guests said whet a lovely warm feeling the building projected.
All in all, it was a perfect Wedding, in beautiful surroundings.

An absolutely gorgeous venue, with an incredible planning team! From the first meeting with Claire we knew we were going to be looked after.

Wedding Ceremony

We had our ceremony at Leigh court and I would highly recommend.
For us cost was a big deal, for the ceremony/use of the building and grounds we paid £660 which was very reasonable. We also included a welcome drink and having the bar open which was an additional £300, again quite reasonable.
The staff were so friendly and helpful during the planning, the day itself and afterwards. We couldn't have asked for better!
