The best day of my life… our Leigh Court wedding 😍

Thank you Leigh Court for bringing our dream wedding to life.

We fell in love with Leigh Court as soon as we saw it. The grand architecture is stunning with the natural surroundings. Each room has a unique style and there are so many original features. The ceremony room with the suspended staircase, beautiful tiled floor, high ceiling and even a gold church organ was our favourite space. The fact we could get legally married there was just perfect!

It’s a wedding venue with excellent organisation as well as beauty. Claire, and her team, were so helpful from the start and speaking with her made us feel confident. She is an experienced wedding venue coordinator and knows exactly how to make sure your day goes smoothly. Any questions we had, she answered them quickly and honestly. She did everything she could to ensure we had a successful and organised wedding day. We found the recommended suppliers list very helpful along with the wedding meeting that went through every aspect of the day so they knew our plans exactly.

On the day itself, Giles and his team did a fantastic job of ensuring everything went as planned. The whole team were helpful, friendly and professional. We had the best day of our lives and felt totally relaxed as we knew everything was being sorted for us by the team and other suppliers. We didn’t need to stress or worry. We just glided around our wedding in total bliss!

The garden was perfect for relaxing with their summer games and there was space for everyone. We had so many compliments from our guests on the location, Manor House and smooth organisation of the whole event.

We highly recommend hiring Leigh Court as a wedding venue. We feel so lucky we chose them for our special day! Thank you to the whole Leigh Court team for making our wedding day unforgettable in August 2025.

Wedding October 2025

Claire and the whole team at Leigh Court were amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful in making our day exactly how we wanted it.
The food from Epic Catering was really good, and so many of our guests commented on how great it was.
Leigh Court is a beautiful venue, and everything ran perfectly on the day thanks to the team.

The best day!

While the venue speaks for itself in being grand but in a tasteful and modest way - a very difficult combination to achieve by the way - it, as with any venue, cannot make the wedding alone. A wedding can either be a disaster or a roaring success and the biggest factor that seems to contribute to this is the advice, support, experience and care from the venue's staff. We feel incredibly lucky to have found in Leigh Court, its staff and crucially Claire Shea the best of these attributes. Attentive, proactive, responsive and a genuine care for wanting the day to be as successful it can be. As such, the venue was a bonus that made the day perfect.

Best day of our lives

We had our wedding on 07.09.2025 and things went absolutely perfectly. From Claire help with everything to the lead up of the wedding and Giles on the day making sure that everything went to plan. The place is an absolutely stunning venue and we 100% recommend the team and the venue to anyone looking to get married and have a wonderful day. Epic caterers were amazing. The food was delicious and the staff team were so on the ball making sure that food and drinks were served on time. An additional thank you to James who was the first aider on site. Me being a typical clumsy person I am fell over and injured my ankle but James was straight there, checked me over, iced my ankle and Made sure it was bandaged up and let me continue enjoying my night checking on me throughout.
If anyone is looking to have the night of their life, Leigh Court, the team, epic caterers and everyone else that helped out will ensure that you have a night to remember.
Thank you again

The perfect wedding day!

Claire and the team helped up organise our dream wedding! And I cannot thank them enough.

Their communication was speedy and clear, they helped up work through any issues, and absolutely nothing was too much trouble.

Our day was perfect and everything ran seamlessly. And Leigh Court is just the most stunning venue.

Would highly recommend Leigh Court as a wedding venue to anyone, the team are simply outstanding.

Joey & Oscar's Wedding

From the beginning the venues coordinators Claire and Natasha were brilliant. The level of service was beyond expectations and they were patient and flexible with us and remained responsive to our various questions and concerns. In the build up to the wedding they were always super responsive and on the day itself we also received live feedback from guests on how well looked after they felt and how attentive Natasha and Giles were to everybody (not just us!). The venue was, in our opinion, very reasonably priced for the quality of setting, catering and options available. We literally had the perfect day, and a lot of that was down to the venue and it's trusted suppliers working so seamlessly together in serving us and our guests.

Mr & Mrs Merreywether 27.10.2024

Where do we begin. From the moment we stepped foot in Leigh Court, met Claire, and had her describe in so much detail what we could expect our wedding to be like, we could not picture getting married anywhere else. We had found 'the one'.

We couldn't believe that we would have sole access to all those beautiful rooms for our special day. Each room had it's own unique selling point, especially The Great Hall and The Tapestry Room. We loved the flow of the layout and how you could utilise each room.

The communication with Claire was always easy, we had quick responses and she was amenable to any of our requests.

Having viewed quite a few venues, we found Leigh Court to be very reasonable in price and we couldn't believe our luck, seeing as it is such a stunning venue.

We had a change in caterers but Epic Caterers were extremely flexible with honouring our previous agreements and provided top class food!

The venue held an evening fayre where they had all their recommended suppliers and we found this immensely useful as we booked a company to dress the venue and booked our DJ for the evening. Shout out to Something Borrowed and Kieran Clarke Entertainment who did an incredible job. We would definitely suggest going to one of these events if you've booked Leigh Court for your wedding. On their list of recommended suppliers, we found Betty Bhandari, an AMAZING photographer who we can't thank enough for capturing our magical day.

We had Giles look after us on our wedding day who ensured everything ran smoothly. He was so knowledgeable and was on top of absolutely everything behind the scenes, meaning we could relax and enjoy our day. We felt that we were in very good hands with both Giles & Claire.

Overall, our wedding day went so smoothly and it truly was one of the best days of our lives.

We would without a doubt recommend Leigh Court. 10/10.

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!

Thank you so much for everything!

An absolutely gorgeous venue, with an incredible planning team! From the first meeting with Claire we knew we were going to be looked after. Claire was supportive & responsive throughout the planning process and Giles made sure the day itself went smoothly. Epic catering are literally epic! The food was amazing & it was something our guests mentioned to us on a number of occasion. The catering team who looked after us on the day too were fabulous & nothing was too much! Thank you so much to the whole team!

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.

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!
