    The perfect place to begin our forever🤍

    We got married at Orange Grove in June 2025, and we truly couldn’t have chosen a more magical venue. The hotel and grounds are stunning, and having the option to stay the night before and the night of, along with our family, made the whole experience even more special and relaxed.
    The orangery, where we held our ceremony, is absolutely breathtaking and created the most beautiful backdrop for our vows.

    What made the venue exceptional though was the team behind it. Every single member of staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and our day unforgettable. We’d like to give a special mention to Alicia, whose warmth, efficiency and care meant so much to us. We truly felt supported throughout the entire process.
    Alicia and the events team were incredibly flexible and helped bring our ideas to life, they genuinely cared about our vision and encouraged us to personalise every aspect of our celebration. Nothing ever felt too much trouble, and their attention to detail was second to none.
    The food was also incredible, we loved being able to enjoy a menu tasting beforehand, and the catering team were brilliant at adapting dishes to suit every dietary requirement without compromising on flavour or presentation.

    We are so grateful to the whole team at Orange Grove for helping us create a day that was so perfectly us. We couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough to couples looking for somewhere beautiful, welcoming, and truly dedicated to making your wedding dreams a reality🤍

    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.

    The most perfect wedding that dreams are made of!

    We recently got married on the 17th May 2025, we had booked it two years prior to this date. We honestly can’t recommend Orange Grove Hotel enough! The wedding planners are absolutely amazing! They were so lovely and truly cared so much about us and our day and making sure it was perfect! They were very informative and always keeping in touch, we honestly cannot fault them. The day itself was a wedding of dreams! A day I will cherish forever. It was the most magical day and we truly can’t thank you enough. The staff were so accommodating, always topping up drinks and making sure everyone was happy, it all ran smoothly, the food was delicious, the staff were super friendly and we cannot fault the service at all! It was absolutely perfect! We were treated like royalty! And we wish we could do it all over again!
    The venue is truly stunning and we were so lucky to be blessed with great weather and the most spectacular views and wedding photos! We can’t wait to come back and see you guys again, we would also love to make it a yearly anniversary tradition.
    Thank you all so much! Love the newlyweds Mr & Mrs Reynolds (17/05/25)

    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!
