A stunning venue!

We are beyond grateful to the Wedding coordinator Kinga at Orleans House Gallery for ensuring our wedding day took place without a hitch. From start to finish, Kinga was incredibly thorough, informative, and always available to answer any questions promptly, making the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. Her attention to detail and organization ensured everything came together seamlessly on our wedding day.

A heartfelt special thank you to the wedding attendant, Lesley C for being such a calming and attentive presence on the day itself. She ensured every detail was perfect, and thanks to her support, we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment.

I couldn’t have asked for a better team to bring our vision to life—thank you so much for making our wedding day unforgettable!

Beautiful place to have a ceremony

We had our ceremony here and from our first look round were blown away by how beautiful the building was. It’s as close to a church without getting married in one. The contacts at Orleans Were brilliant and on the day ran the ceremony smoothly.

Perfect venue, perfect service

When Helen and I saw Orleans House Gallery we were very lucky to have seen the aftermath of a wedding party taking place post ceremony. The weather was fantastic, the interior decoration of the Octagon room was lovely, and the staff were very friendly from the beginning even though we were just walking passed. Since then we knew OHG would be our wedding ceremony venue. The capacity was perfect for an intimate group and the surrounding grounds enabled the perfect spot to cater for our guests. We would do it all again in a heartbeat. Thank you thank you thank you!

Absolutely stunning venue with fantastic staff!

Can’t thank Beverley, Kinga, Phillipa, and all the wonderful team at Orleans gallery enough for making everything so seamless and easy. An already stunning venue is complimented by dedicated and detail orientated staff. We had a huge thunderstorm on the day of our wedding and the team went out of their way to make sure we didn’t even notice the rain! My guests were blown away with the beauty and we loved every second. Thank you so much!

Ceremony of our dreams!

We absolutely loved our ceremony at Orleans House Gallery! The team are extremely responsive and helpful, and our ceremony and champagne reception was run perfectly on the day. The venue is also stunning and really unique. We had many guests traveling from Australia and they were really impressed. Highly recommend!

The perfect place to get married!

We were married at Orleans House Gallery in August 2024.

From booking the venue, the process felt smooth and well managed. We first had contact with Beverley who discussed the terms of the booking and sent us all information we could need about the venue and how the day would run. She always responded quickly to correspondence and was very accommodating when our plans changed slightly. We then had contact with Kinga ahead of the day who really put us at ease, and answered all final questions we had, guiding us through the plan for the day. And on the wedding day itself we were looked after by Lesley who could not have done more to assist us. She was extremely organised and managed everyone really well. She was kind and efficient and we felt very looked after.

The venue itself was stunning and our guests were in awe of the grandness and beauty. Having a smaller ceremony meant it felt really personal and intimate, and we had a lot of lovely feedback on that. We were able to tailor a ceremony that really reflected us, whilst holding it in a stunning setting.

We would not have changed a thing and had the best day ever. We are just sad we can’t do it again!

Thank you to all the staff that helped us along the way, it was a day we will never forget.

Wedding Lunch

We had our wedding lunch in the Octagon room with a buffet setup. It's the most stunning room and it looked beautiful both on the day and in the photos. The team at Orleans house was exceptionally helpful and went above and beyond to make our day special. It ran smoothly and totally stress free. They were accommodating of all our requests and gave us more than enough information to make sure we can plan everything accordingly. The weather was lovely on the day and we were able to have drinks and canapés outside in the garden which added so much colour and fun to the day. Couldn't recommend this venue enough!

Our Perfect Day

Right from the start, we found the team at Orleans Gallery incredibly helpful. We loved the venue immediately and Charlotte and the team helped us sort out the right date and package and were very accommodating when we had to change the date after it had been agreed which was very much appreciated. Right through the planning stages, someone responded to my queries quickly and nothing was too much trouble. The day itself was perfect in every way. Beautiful venue and grounds, amazingly helpful team, especially Leslie who helped me get my emotions in check before my big entrance! The beauty of the venue speaks for itself but it was the team that made everything run so smoothly. I knew we were in safe hands!

A special memorable wedding day

From the first contact with Charlotte at Orleans house gallery to our big day with Lesley and Val helping us navigate our wedding day jitters we had an amazing experience and would recommend the venue to anyone wanting a beautiful intimate setting where the staff are so friendly and helpful.

Charlotte was extremely helpful in the wedding planning process and nothing was too much trouble to help organize for our special day. On the day Lesley and Val made sure everything went smoothly from helping us calm our nerves before the ceremony to ensuring the wedding dress stayed clean outside, timings were adhered to and helping ensure decorations and music were in order. The venue is stunning and ourselves and our guests loved the charming romantic atmosphere. We didn't find any venues when looking that gave us the special feeling we had at Orleans house gallery. The staff helped ensure our big day went smoothly and we had the most incredible perfect wedding day that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

Fabulous day and Fairy tale experience

We are so happy we decided to celebrate our special day in the stunning Orleans House Gallery venue which ended up being a memorable and intimate event for us. Charlotte was very helpful when we first contacted the team couple of months before prior to our event and she was instrumental in arranging everything as per our wish leading up to our big day. Regardless of the stream on inquiries from us, we thoroughly appreciated the patience and prompt responses from the team which made it ever so easier to plan the event and more importantly build the confidence that everything will be delivered from the support of the team on the day.
On the day, we were so happy with how everything was laid out for us; we were particularly thankful to Val (our coordinator on the day) who ensured everything went smoothly during the ceremony and she was pivotal in making the whole experience stress free for us the newly weds but also build a joyful atmosphere for the guests. We couldn't have asked for anything more!
As for the venue itself, it is absolutely elegant and magical. It is the perfect setting for royal experience and pictures. It truly did ooze with class and our guests were genuinely amazed by visual treat from the interior designs and incoming natural light which made it a delightful experience. Our event happened in September and it was perfect for outdoor pictures with the natural trees as backdrop.
It was a breath taking day and I would highly recommend the venue not only because of the stunning venue, but also because of the outstanding, professional and dedicated team that will guarantee to make it the best day. We are forever grateful for the memories made that was only possible because of the team and Orleans House Gallery is the place to choose for your special day.

Fairy tale

From start to finish, this beautiful venue exceeded our expectations and made our special day absolutely magical. It was a fairy tale ceremony.
First and foremost, the organizers and staff at Orleans House Gallery are nothing short of amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. Their attentiveness and professionalism were evident from the moment we inquired about the venue until the final moments of our celebration.
The venue itself is a masterpiece of beauty and elegance.
The way the natural light gracefully bathed the room through the large windows was nothing short of mesmerizing. Every inch of the space was exuding an atmosphere of timeless elegance and class. Our guests were utterly captivated by the venue's aesthetics.
The post-ceremony drinks and nibbles were held in the outdoor area. It allowed guests to enjoy the beautiful green area while savouring the moment.
We did not hire a wedding planner, but Orleans House Gallery provided a dedicated planner for us on the day of the event. She went to great lengths to ensure that everything ran smoothly and according to plan. Their attention to detail and ability to handle any last-minute requests or adjustments made our day stress-free and truly memorable.
If you're looking for a venue that exudes class, elegance, and charm while being supported by an outstanding team, Orleans House Gallery is the place to choose for your special day. We are forever grateful for the memories we created there :)

Couldn't be happier!

We got married here in July 2023 and blew our guests away with the beautiful venue. It was perfect for our intimate wedding and we were able to stay at the venue to host a champagne reception afterwards which was lovely (and no corkage fee was especially fantastic!). Everyone was very helpful in the lead up and on the day and couldn't be happier with our venue choice.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
