Just Incredible!!

We had our Wedding at Osmaston Park on Saturday 26th August 2017 and it was an amazing day at the most beautiful venue! The weather was stunning, the views breathtaking and the whole experience for myself, my husband and our guests was just incredible!! Everything about the venue was perfect and our wedding suppliers helped make our day even more special with precious memories to share and remember for years to come! X

This wedding venue is outstanding

I cannot recommend Osmaston Park enough. When we met Sir Andrew on a Cold, windy Winters day we just knew it was the place for us. From start to finish Sir Andrew and Will from Top Marquees could not have been more helpful-nothing was too much trouble, they were always prompt when replying to questions and on hand to help. The marquee itself is stunning-it isn't like a marquee at all! It is clean and spacious and the toilets are lovely. We were able to get in the day before and set up and on the night of our wedding (once everyone had left) Will and his Dad came to clear everything away which was fantastic.

The views and grounds are just beautiful and all our wedding guests said they had never been to a more stunning venue.

We used Kemp and Kemp as our caterers and they were brilliant-our food was delicious and we had so many compliments on it.

This venue is truly unique and the fact that you can put your own personal touches on it and they are so accommodating just makes it perfect.
This wedding venue is outstanding and we both feel so grateful to have been able to have our wedding reception here.

Thank you to Sir Andrew, Will and Top Marques - our day was perfect! xxxx

Breathtaking

Our Wedding Day was just perfect.

The most beautiful venue and setting. We had so many compliments, with some saying it was the best wedding and venue that they have ever been to. As you drive down the driveway it really is breathtaking. The marquee can't even be described as a marquee, it is so modern, bright and beautifully lit - even the toilets are great! Despite it being a freezing cold day, I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Andrew, Top Marques and Uppercrust were extremely helpful in the run up to the wedding, providing me with all the information I needed and allowing me to decorate the venue the day before, preventing unneeded stress for a control freak of a bride! Uppercrust, who we used for catering were excellent. They brought our wedding breakfast forward because everyone came inside so much earlier than expected, due to the weather. We have some absolutely stunning photos. Even photos of the speeches from inside the marquee, have the stunning scenery in the background. We loved that the venue was a complete, neutral blank canvas that we could make our own and that we could tailor our catering and entertainment to suit our wants and budget.

My husband and I, along with our family and friends, will have fond memories of our wedding day for years to come - thank you!

Perfect Wedding Day

We had our wedding in April 2017 and we cannot express just how perfect the setting of Osmaston Park was. The marquee was so much more than we expected, it was warm comfortable and so spacious! The views over the lake were stunning and our photos from the day are so unique. Sir Andrew was so welcoming when we first met him and he allowed us to visit and ask questions as much as we wanted. We were able to go in and set up our wedding the day before which allowed us to put all of our personal touches to the day, something we were very grateful for. At the end of the night Andrew was there with his team so clear up and they were so relaxed about things as we left the venue. Throughout the whole experience we were met with flexibility and we felt that all of our needs were met. Since the day our guests still comment on how beautiful the venue was and the drive down to the venue was met with gasps and looks of amazement.

We cannot thank you enough for allowing us to create our perfect wedding day.

So supportive and friendly

Thank you so much to Sir Andrew and all the staff at Top Marques for all their hard work, you have been absolutely amazing! We had the most incredible day and the beautiful venue and marquee just made it even more special. Everyone we dealt with was so supportive and friendly even when we were hounding them with questions and requesting lots of information.

We fell in love with Osmaston Park as soon as we saw it, even though it was knee deep in snow! In fact we didn't even bother to keep our other venue appointments! All our guests were speechless at how gorgeous it all looked on the day and Maisam and I and our parents are so very grateful at the level of care, attention and patience that the team provided. You really did put our minds at ease throughout the whole planning process and it is a real credit to you that you provide such a high standard of customer care.

Thank you again for allowing us to have such a stunning location as our venue and we only hope we can come back one day for another special occasion!

Nothing Compares

Thank you to Andrew and all the team at Osmaston Park. The location is absolutely beautiful, we could not of chose a nicer place to have our wedding, no other venue we visited compared to Osmaston. All our guests commented on the stunning setting and views across the park. We would thoroughly recommend Osmaston park to anyone looking for a wedding location in Derbyshire.....amazing!!

Everything was perfect

Thank you and all the team for the amazing experience we had whilst planning our wedding at Osmaston. From our first viewing on a very frosty day in January we completely fell in love with the park and it's breathtaking beauty. We received so many awe-struck comments on the day from guests and have since recieved letters all of which enthused about the stunning setting. Needless to say our photos are spectacular!

Everyone we met during the planning process was so helpful and warm; there was no question too stupid or request which couldn't be fulfilled. The team at Top Marques were fantastic, efficient and friendly. We used Big On Taste for our catering and were delighted with their high standards and amazing food. Being able to supply our own Champagne and wines as well as dress the marquee as we wanted allow us to really personalise our big day.
In short everything was perfect and we cannot thank you enough for helping to make our day so special.

Best Wedding Venue in Derbyshire

We thoroughly enjoyed our Wedding Day at Osmaston Park. We couldn't have wished for a more beautiful setting, the scenery is incredible! The marquee also looked beautiful, and everyone we worked with to organise the day was very helpful. All our guests have said they had a lovely day. We are certain there is no better wedding venue in Derbyshire!

Our amazingly perfect wedding venue

I am writing to thank you for all your help whilst we were organising our wedding at Osmaston Park on 28th May 2011. When we started looking at wedding venues we scoured the whole of the East Midlands for the perfect setting for my wedding day; Osmaston was the first place we visited and it captured our hearts from that moment on. No other venue compared with the beauty and stunning location that Osmaston holds; we booked two years before my big day content in the knowledge that we had made the right choice. During our wedding planning we had the full support and help from the team at Osmaston who couldn't do enough to help with our enquiries and any concerns we had. When our wedding day finally arrived everything was just perfect the marquee and grounds looked amazing and we had a wedding day which will be remembered forever. Our guests were stunned by the location and we still have family and friends e-mailing us weeks later to say what a fabulous day they had. Both Anthony and I would like to say a huge thank you to you for helping make our dreams come true and for going the extra mile, even to the point of your own expense of putting a gate in by the mill building so I could use this location for my wedding pictures (which are spectacular). We can't say enough good things about Osmaston to do it the justice it deserves but it will hold a special place in our hearts forever as our amazingly perfect wedding venue.

Absolutely Breathtaking!

I was instantly hooked. The views as you approach the park are absolutely breathtaking, with the landscape appearing never ending. We were greeted by the lovely Lady Philippa Walker-Okeover, whose friendly smile and kind nature we immediately warmed to. On entering we were automatically met with the WOW factor. We drove in to the area where the marquee would sit and were faced with even more acres of beautiful greenery set above an expansive lake. From that moment we both knew this was the venue for us. The privacy, combined with the beautiful setting are just priceless. The set up of Osmaton is perfect for what we wanted. The marquee meant we could dress the venue exactly as we wanted, and Osmaston were extremely accommodating.


The marquee side of things is all handled separately by Top Marques Marquee Company, an extremely friendly family run business who can't do enough for you. The marquee itself was stunning, by far the nicest I have seen. It was immaculate both inside and out and extremely spacious.

They really are a great bunch of people, who made the whole process very stress free.Overall the venue really is a magical place, one of Derbyshire's hidden gems. Lady Philippa and Sir Andrew have a real passion for the park, obvious from how well looked after it is. Their aim is to make sure you are happy and will do whatever they can to ensure your day runs smoothly. Their down to earth manner and warmth really made the whole process very easy.

Osmaston Park really does need to be viewed in person to appreciate the full extent of what is has to offer. If you want an original venue that really allows you to personalise your special day, then make sure you include it on your shortlist

Unbeatable View

Our wedding at Osmaston Park was the most amazing day of our lives. We were lucky enough to get one of the few sunny days in 2012 which made the stunning setting even more beautiful. Our guests were so impressed with the views and very much enjoyed spending the day drinking Prosecco on the lawns.

When we were looking for venues we knew we had found our place when we first came down the drive. The view over the valley and the lake is unbeatable and provides a romantic and elegant backdrop for the photographs. Which people have said "Look like something out of Hello Magazine!"

The Marquee is very well presented and maintained with the dance floor and starlight ceiling perfect for after the sun goes down.

We had a ceremony at Ashbourne Town Hall and the drive to Osmaston was so pretty and a chance for us to have a little time on our own before we met up with our guests.

Thank you to Sir Andrew and the staff at Top Marques for all your help. Wish we could do it all again next year!

It is just what you dream about

I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful wedding reception at Osmaston Park. We all loved our day at my son Tom's wedding on Friday 18th July 2014. I wonder if you know how much the setting meant to two landscape architects and families who enjoy the beauty of natural surroundings. As the guests turned the corner in our wedding coach they were blown away by the beautiful scenery. It was truly something different, immediately delightful and everyone felt relaxed and chilled. During most of the free time from the wedding the guests sat outside watching the evening light change as the sun set over the trees and river. We all decided that this sight would be spectacular in all weathers and seasons. It is just what you dream about as parents especially when you are trying to get them through the formalities of a wedding!!

Although we weren't sure about having a marquee in the first place it turned out to be the best decision we made as it was spacious, light and airy and looked beautiful with the dance floor decorated with fairy lights. The fantastic thing about it was being where the house was it was set high on the hill with the original terrace which was superb for drinks and had the best views.

All the wedding teams and especially Andrew and Will worked hard and seamlessly to ensure that everything went smoothly and every guest was catered for - nothing was too much trouble.

If you want somewhere different and beautiful for a special occasion Tom's wedding guests down to the last man and very probably child would very happily recommend Osmaston Park.

Wow! What a venue!

We had our wedding at Osmaston Park in September and it was just perfect. The views from the magnificent marquee overlooking the lake were spectacular, as were the immaculate grounds . We had many a guest who were just lost for words from the beautiful views and the fantastic marquee. It was so nice to be able to make our own personal stamp inside the marquee and a special thank you to the Naylors who run Top Marques (UK) who were just fantastic! A very special thank you to Sir Andrew who was a diamond! He was so friendly , accommodating and helped us organise everything perfectly. We also had a fantastic catering team (Fiona Herbert) who we thoroughly recommend, in that not only did she produce 5 star food but helped us throughout with the running of the day.
All in all we would thoroughly recommend Osmaston Park as the best venue in Derbyshire for a wedding!

The most stunning, personal and idillic venue

We came to see Osmaston Park just to give us an idea about the styles of venues and really weren't looking to have our Wedding in Derbyshire. We drove through the stone entrance, surrounded by nothing but rolling hills, beauty and animals! It was perfect and we asked you to see if the date was available whilst we stood in front of you!

Will at Top Marquees and Sir Andrew allowed us to make our day so personal, always on hand to ensure that the planning went smoothly and our day was the best it could possibly be. Thank you so much,

We would reccomend Osmaston Park to anyone, It really is the most stunning, personal and idillic venue

A bride''s father''s perspective - really good value for money.

From a financial point of view this site beats all others. I wanted to buy my own wine and champagne in France - direct from the vineyards - and hotel sites don''t like that sort of cost saving. And because you have complete control over food, drink, music, flowers and decorations, the Osmaston site gave us great opportunities to save money, and put my daughter''s personal stamp on the reception and believe me, she had a lot of ideas!

What''s more, we were able to adapt on the day to the weather if we wanted to move the party outside, we could - if we wanted fireworks, it was organised. The whole thing was incredibly professional and the staff created an evening that none of us will ever forget. But our self-help approach made this event all the sweeter for the financial savings we could make by bringing some of our own things along like a wedding cake for exampleso we were able to provide the family touch to make it a unique day for the bride and groom without paying commercial rates for so much of what makes a good wedding into a great wedding. Yes, it''s a bit more work for the family, but well worth it.

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