    The perfect Wedding Venue

    We cannot thank Alicia and the entire events team enough for being the most perfect hosts on our wedding day. Everything ran seamlessly, and the build-up was made just as special thanks to the incredible staff.

    Alicia was by our side with regular updates and planning meetings for 12 months leading up to the big day. Even our taster evening of the wedding breakfast became such a treasured memory, with the front-of-house team making us feel so welcome.

    From start to finish, the whole process was effortless, and we are so grateful we chose The Orange Grove. Truly, the Perfect Wedding Venue.

    Best day of our lives!


    We had our wedding at the Orange Grove Hotel and we truly couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning - the grounds are beautifully maintained and made for the most incredible backdrop to our ceremony and photos. A special shoutout to Alicia, who was amazing from start to finish. She made everything run so smoothly and made us feel so supported throughout the entire process. All the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional, which made the day even more enjoyable and stress-free. It was genuinely the best day of our lives, and a huge part of that is thanks to the wonderful team and breathtaking venue at Orange Grove Hotel. We would 100% recommend it to any couple looking for a magical place to get married!'

    Wedding at Orange Grove April 2025

    Alicia and the Events Team were fabulous from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble for our wonderful day. The food was superb from Matt (Head Chef) and his Team. Alicia and Ben looked after ourselves on our day as well as every guest. Having everything in one place from the Bedrooms, the Wedding Breakfast, the Grounds, Outside & Inside Bar, Mosaic Room (where the wedding ceremony is held), room for guests to gather all just made the day flow. Everyone had a brilliant day. Thank you again to Alicia, the Orange Grove and everyone who helped with our Wedding. A&A

    A perfect venue for our intimate wedding!

    We were looking for a venue that was ideal for intimate weddings, with delicious food and great service and came across Orange Grove and never looked back! Having only 16 guests for the day we didn’t want the space to feel empty but still wanted somewhere timeless and classic. Kathryn was so lovely to have coordinate our day and we felt so lucky to have her. All of the staff on the lead up (menu tasting, meals with family before the big day, pop in visits) were all so professional and attentive. We had an additional 50 guests in the evening and had more than enough room for everyone, they can truly cater to small and larger weddings! All of our guests have complemented the space and especially the food. We look forward to visiting again to remember our special day.

    A wonderful day

    From the point of booking to the morning of the day after the Orange Grove were fantastic. Our guests loved the Orange Grove, with a handful staying the night before and lots staying the night of the wedding.
    The day itself went very smoothly with lots of compliments and amazing food.

    Outstanding staff, picturesque venue & a perfect day!

    We recently (September 2024) held our wedding at the Orange Grove Hotel, and it was an absolutely magical experience from start to finish. The venue itself is stunning—beautiful open landscaped gardens, charming interior spaces, and a breathtaking atmosphere that perfectly complemented our special day.

    The staff were exceptional—professional, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, from the ceremony to the evening reception. We felt supported and at ease throughout the entire process. The food was incredible, with many of our guests commenting on how delicious and beautifully presented the meals were.

    The hotel also provided us with excellent recommendations for photographers, florists, and other vendors, which helped make our planning much easier. Even though we went with our own vendors for the day, we recommend everyone to go to one or two of the open days to speak with their preferred vendors.

    If you're looking for a venue that offers elegance, seamless service, and a truly memorable experience, I cannot recommend the Orange Grove Hotel enough. Thank you for making our wedding day so perfect!

    Amazing wedding venue!

    We had a November wedding and it was so incredible! The Orange Grove is a beautiful venue, and the staff were all so fabulous. The venue was able to accommodate all our guests dietary requirements so beautifully and thoughtfully. The bar staff were fantastic at helping us to recreate a cocktail for our cocktail hour, the food is out of this world! Most weddings, the food is ok, our guests all said it was the best wedding food they’d had. The orange grove doesn’t cut corners on the quality of their food!! They were very accommodating with all the entertainment we wanted to have at our unconventional reception (air hockey, foosball, mini golf, and a tv with Mario kart set up). We honestly had the most perfect day and if we could do it all over again exactly the same, we 100% would! We absolutely would recommend this venue!

    Our dream wedding came true

    Couldn’t recommend the mansion/orange grove enough! They accommodated our spring Saturday wedding with 6 months to go when our other venue let us down. From the first moment they were extremely responsive and professional and listened to my very long list of plans/requirements 🤣 Katherine in particular was so knowledgeable and thorough with no detail left un discussed

    The grounds themselves are absolutely stunning and we felt needed nothing substantial by way of further decor. We were lucky enough to have glorious weather on our wedding day which meant we could make use of the indoor/outdoor set up.

    On the day everything ran like clockwork and everything we had asked them to do had been sorted including the champagne tower, all the decor signs, the confetti line, beer pong, cocktail hour and more. We had a church wedding so being able to bring our wedding car up the drive was very special. Met on arrival with a glass of chilled Prosecco.

    The food was amazing and a few guests commented it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. All served by polite attentive staff.

    I had organised surprise singing waiters for my husband and guests and the mansion were so professional in accommodating those, they were a huge hit!

    There was a slight hiccup with the music in the evening and with the location of breakfast the next day but given the amount of work and effort that was put into the whole day, this felt minimal.

    Overall, we are so pleased we chose the mansion. A beautiful, timeless and effortless venue with a team of staff who are all so professional and hardworking, and to top it off the food was just amazing. We will always remember our wedding day and we are so pleased that we chose to have our wedding at the mansion to help make it so special

    Our perfect day with Orange Grove Hotel & Gardens

    We got married in August 2024 at Orange Grove Hotel & Gardens, and it was nothing short of perfect. Having such a stunning venue right on our doorstep, we knew from the moment we first visited that this was the place for our special day.

    Even before setting a date, we found ourselves returning whenever we could—whether it was for a meal, an event, or every single wedding fayre they hosted. When unexpected family circumstances meant we needed to plan our wedding with just 10 weeks' notice, what could have been overwhelming was made effortless by the incredible team at Orange Grove. Special shout out to Kathryn & Lily for this!

    From start to finish, they were patient, responsive, and reassuring, answering all our many questions and ensuring every detail was taken care of. They truly went above and beyond to make the planning process simple and stress-free.

    The venue itself is breathtaking, every corner perfect for photos, and the food is absolutely delicious! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’re so grateful to the team at Orange Grove for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more.
