  The Perfect Wedding Venue

  
  What a place to get married! We feel so privileged to have got married in the orangery. Such a beautiful setting for a special day, we did not need to add many touches as it is already breathtaking with what is already included.
  Elvis was brilliant throughout, greeting us the day before and looking after us throughout the day, appearing to be everywhere needed. He was very professional and made sure everything was perfect, fitting the MOB’s bracelet, fixing all the groomsmen’s buttonholes, organising everyone and ensuring the day went seamlessly and looking after the guests who all commented that they loved him. Jane was fabulous as well, she was very witty and added some pizzazz to the day. We had the perfect wedding co-ordinator and the perfect toastmaster.
  The food was delicious and was enjoyed by all. There were plenty of rooms to accommodate all our guests which were all finished to a high standard. The breakfast was a great way to end our stay and we will be coming back for any reason that we can think of. Would recommend 11/10!

  Perfect venue for a wedding

  My husband and I recently had our wedding at Tortworth Court. It is the most stunning venue, and the wedding co-ordinating staff are exceptional, especially Elvis! Any question, any suggestion or idea the team couldn't be more helpful to bring our vision to life. The facilities, staff, food, venue - everything was exceptional.

  Amazing Team

  Such an amazing day thanks to the best team. Nothing was too much trouble. They all made sure our day went as smoothly as possible. Even when we had a disaster with some of the bridesmaids dresses they made sure it was sorted.

  Magical wedding venue

  Me and my husband got married here last March 2024. It is worth every penny and we had the best experience planning our wedding from site visit up until the wedding. Polly was amazing, she did the tour during the site visit and she answered all our queries. It was a smooth transaction until we booked the venue. We were handed over to Eve who took care of us from meal tasting leading up to the final meeting. She was responsive to all of our queries, and had good communication with our suppliers. From the final meeting up to the wedding day, we were handed over to Elvis. My oh my he is heaven sent! I was not anxious nor stressed during my wedding day. He took care of everything. He was organized and very meticulous of which matches how I am as a bride, and so I was relaxed knowing that Elvis is there to take care of things. I can never forget that he always checks on us, if we need a drink etc. He is amazing! the wedding team in tortworth is amazing. For the brides/ couple:
  
  Food: 10/10- Generous portion, good selection, and impeccable taste. All our guests loved their food.
  Venue: 10/10- need I say more? We were married at the orangery and it was magical.
  Rooms: apart from our junior suite room, I also checked up on my guests and their rooms were clean and nice.
  Service: 9/10- The concierge were nice and accommodating.
  Wedding team: 10/10- Smooth sailing planning and transactions.
  Overall: 10/10. you get your money’s worth and more. Truly the best day of my life.

  A winter wedding in The Orangery - Fantastic venue and service

  My wife and I got married at De Vere Tortworth Court during February 2024. Our decision to go with the venue was made when we saw The Orangery for the first time - the architecture is stunning and it feels like a setting that is equally as beautiful during the day as it is lit up at night.
  
  We were also thrilled with the service that we received from Alex (Wedding Coordinator) and Elvis (Events Floor Manager) throughout the planning and on the wedding weekend. We couldn’t have asked anything more from both of them and were very grateful for the energy, friendliness, and attention to detail that they both brought. Their input made a big difference to our overall experience knowing that we had confidence in experienced and professional pairs of hands to help with any queries or arrangements.
  
  We would highly recommend The Orangery as a wedding venue, and Alex, Elvis, and the rest of the team at De Vere Tortworth Court.

  Magical Day

  The team at Tortworth were very responsive to emails. Once we got into our final year before the wedding we were allocated a person and they were very good at getting back to me prior to the wedding.
  
  Our coordinator went through our plan with us on three occasions in person and in the third meeting, we met our banqueting manager who would be with us on the day.
  
  The banqueting manager and coordinator checked in with us throughout the day and were attentive to us. Waiting staff were not so good with our guests however and we have since received some comments that staff were no willing to answer guests questions or serve them drinks during the wedding breakfast.
  
  We made wedding gift bags to go in guests rooms (who pre-booked through us), the team were helpful in putting these in rooms however two went missing which is obviously very disappointing as a lot of time and money was spent on creating these.
  
  The venue it’s self is beautiful however probably needs updating/ finishing touches touched up where it has become slightly worn out.
  
  Food was all good and we were happy with our menu choices.
  
  Day after, we collected all of our items without a problem. Cakes however were an issue. We had two dietary requirement cupcakes made and they were not brought out during the wedding (even when my husband asked about their location) and were only found when we then asked again the next day. We were given a wedding cake which was not ours, got it home only to realise and it was then swapped and they were apologetic.
  
  We loved our day however it has been a mixed experience which we thought we ought to share.

  Would recommend with some advice

  Not sure if the rush of weddings after Covid has affected previously good service however I was slightly disappointed with the service considering the hiring prices doubled since first contacting them in 2018.
  The original contact in the events team was very hard to deal with, frustrating to get information for everything they offer to be sent to me so I could decide on my budget. Would have loved to have properly sat down with someone to go over our options, was told as we did not want a full day wedding we could not have it over weekend so felt others (paying more money) prioritised over us and the date we wanted.
  After new coordinators were taken on the service did improve, very quick to respond to emails if you have as many questions as i did. Still there was very disjointed information coming from a newly employed team.
  Before signing make sure the location is right for what you want as they do have restrictions on decorations and some suppliers used would have been handy to know beforehand.
  Everyone we dealt with was very friendly, professional and eager to assist with any query. Word of advice if you are getting ready with lots of family at the hotel there is barely phone signal so unless everyone is on an online messenger it's hard to coordinate yourselves. The rooms are also very hard to find everyone was constantly lost, my hairdresser was very lost which delayed our timings.
  The rooms held for us our family found it very hard to get through on the phone to book them, constantly engaged, the deal is not much less than the online applause rate anyway. I would suggest everyone stay in the mansion section which seems to be leaps and bounds better than the courtyard rooms.
  They had weather contingencies to switch to in case of a turn of weather which make less stressful to know they can be quick to be flexible.
  For the meeting the day before I had assumed the day of coordinator Laz had been passed over our order sheet details however this did not seem to be used at all on the day and I would suggest couples to mention everything in the meeting again. We were missing quite a lot of items I had spent months creating, pulling together only for them to be executed incorrectly or be completely missing. Laz was also missing a lot of the time we maybe saw him twice in the day, didn't feel like we were being looked after as such, no check to ensure we were happy and that nothing was wrong we kept sending people off to find him.
  If you can afford it employ a professional coordinator and if not ensure you carefully go through everything you expect them to be doing. Also have your suppliers do the decorating as much as possible as they will pay a lot more attention to details.
  The service we had was disappointing compared to the rise in cost which makes it more expensive than sites who are dedicated to weddings and you have the whole site to yourself which for me does bring the value for money down.

  Really bad customer service, but nice venue

  After wedding about 5 people got double charged for their rooms, paid through booking.com and reception also charged. We discussed with reception and our card (paid for wedding) was charged for our room as well!
  
  Customer service with a lady who has now left was terrible, the call to finalise plans was given to us the day before the wedding with 2 hours notice so I couldn’t attend / listen and my partner had to rush it without full attention as sorting out last minute details.
  
  They also kept messing up the invoice/ menu choices and made changes without letting us know.
  
  The day itself went great, Laz was friendly, venue is very nice and the food was very good for wedding / mass catering.
  
  Would probably go through it again but shift any expectations of good customer service downwards so not disappointed.
