Perfect in Every Way

We had the perfect big day here and we could not recommend this venue more. Our wedding was in October, and autumnal Richmond is a breath-taking romantic tale. All our guests were mesmerised by the colourful leaves and beautiful scenery on their way in, which set the perfect stage for our ceremony. The venue itself is historic yet ornate, evoking a sense of solemnity with a flair of romance. Leslie was there coordinating the whole event, and she’s superb at doing this job, making sure your day goes seamless and enjoyable. She even helped calm me down just before I was about to walk the aisle.. Everyone, our family, our guests and ourselves, thoroughly enjoyed holding our wedding here and would highly recommend it to anyone!

A Truly Beautiful Place to Say ‘I Do’

A truly beautiful and dreamy wedding venue — the setting, atmosphere, and elegance made our winter wedding feel magical and unforgettable.

Special thanks as well to the admin team, and especially to Lesley. She was so attentive, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Her calm and caring presence meant so much to us.

A stunning place with an amazing team behind it. Highly recommended!

Incredible venue and team

We can't thank the team enough for how smoothly our wedding day ran - the team there are absolutely incredible, so organised and helpful both on the day and the lead up itself. They completely put us at ease and allowed us to just fully enjoy the day itself.

We're on cloud 9 and just can't believe it's all over! The venue is just such a stunning setting, all of our guests fell in love with it and we literally couldn't have asked for anything more!

We recently had our wedding at the Orleans House Gallery, and the entire experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The venue itself is stunning, full of character, charm, and natural beauty, which made for the perfect backdrop to our special day.

What truly made the experience exceptional was the incredible support and coordination provided by the team. Everything ran so smoothly and according to plan, thanks to their professionalism, attention to detail, and calm presence throughout the day. It allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment, knowing we were in such capable hands.

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.

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!

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
