Perfect Wedding

Our wedding at The Orange Grove Hotel & Gardens was truly unforgettable. The combination of a beautiful venue, wonderful service, and delicious food made it a day we will cherish forever. From the first viewing we knew it was exactly the place we wanted to get married due to its warm and welcoming atmosphere. From our very first meeting Kathryn the wedding and events manager, we felt completely at ease that our vision would be understood. Kathryn was highly organised and quick to respond to any emails making everything seamless and stress-free. We did have some anxiety due to the venue being re-branded, however we were personally called about the changes which did not affect our wedding in any way.

The night before our wedding myself and bridal party had dinner in one of the heated pods outside which was a fantastic way to start the celebrations. We were served by Mattie who provided first class service with a smile. The day itself ran perfectly due to the teams thorough planning and calm re-assuring presence. They handled every aspect so effortlessly that all we had to do was enjoy the moment.

The venue itself is beautiful and the mosaic room where our ceremony was held was perfect for the number of guests we had. The bar and snug at the front of the venue gave our guests a chance to relax throughout the day if needed and the Orangery was perfect for our wedding breakfast as it has its own bar. The bedrooms are where spotless, spacious, and decorated wonderfully. Many of our guests commented on how great the rooms were with very comfortable beds!
As we had already eaten here before we knew the food was fantastic. We had a tasting prior to the wedding, giving us the opportunity to try multiple dishes from the menu. We personally went for the slow cooked blade of beef which was incredible and again had many people talking about how nice it was. Sometimes at weddings the portions can be slightly limited however the portions here were very healthy.

Overall, it was everything we could have ever hoped for and more. If you're looking for a wedding venue that offers elegance, charm, and a serene atmosphere, we cannot recommend this venue enough.
The Orange Grove Hotel & Gardens made our wedding day a fairy-tale, and we are so grateful for the memories we created there. Thank you to the entire team for making our dream wedding a reality!

Special thanks to Kathryn, Lily, Yannick and Mattie who are a real asset to hotel and made our day extra special!

Wedding day

Alicia, Lily & rest of the team on the day, thank you. Thank you for giving us the best possible wedding day, it was everything we imagined and more! All of you and the team on the day were so accommodating, nothing was too much and everything was absolutely perfect. Service went smoothly, Lily & Alicia did absolutely everything to ensure no one saw me whilst I was waiting. Gave me everything I needed and followed our plans and wishes down to a T! I wish nothing more than that everyone else has the exact same experience and enjoys the grounds venue and food just like we did. It was our absolute dream day and everything was perfect!
We wish we could do this all over again!
Thank you endlessly for everything.

August Wedding 2024

The Mansion at Coldeast is just a stunning venue - we knew on first visit it would be our wedding reception venue!
Myself and my bridesmaids stayed at Coldeast the night prior and got ready there the morning of before our church ceremony.
I can not fault how gorgeous the bridal suite was and how amazing all the staff are! Anything we needed they organised for us. A beautiful breakfast was bought up in the morning and our wedding co-ordinator came to visit and reassure our table plan etc would be exactly as we had planned. Arrival drinks were flowing once we returned from our ceremony soon followed by our wedding breakfast - the chefs are amazing, our food was amazing and they accommodated all dietary requirements of our guests. Cocktail hour went down a treat and the staff that supported us well into the evening were amazing and super friendly! We couldn’t thank everyone at The Mansion for our special day - it was more then we could’ve ever imagined!

Wish we could do it all over again!

Our wedding was everything we wanted and more. From booking to the actual day, Kathryn the event manager was amazing and super responsive. Any request we had, she made it happen.
The venue is beautiful and perfect for our intimate wedding.
We couldn’t have imagined a better day. The food was great. We really enjoyed the menu tasting that was included in our booking also.

Perfect day

Our day was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t fault it. All staff were brilliant and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The food was incredible and at our tasting beforehand, we were able to make sure everything on the menu was exactly as we wanted it - no request was too big. The whole process of planning our day was as stress free as planning a wedding can be! We would 100% recommend this venue and wish we could live the day all over again.

Such a special day!

Such a perfect day and this place will mean so much to us on many of our anniversaries! We had a small wedding (40 in the day, 60 evening) and this venue was just perfect size to not feel too big in any rooms that we used. Through out the process of planning our wedding, Kathryn listened to us and understood us. We used different suppliers (already knew who we wanted before finding venue) to what the hotel recommended but it never felt we were judged doing that. It was so lovely to have our guests stay the night before and have the bar to socialise before the big day and then have a big cooked breakfast together the day after the wedding where all our decorations were then reused for the room all set up by staff. Such a special, intimate venue.
