    The perfect wedding weekend!

    We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting for our wedding weekend than Pauntley Court. Nestled in the heart of the English countryside, this stunning venue exudes charm and elegance, making it the ideal backdrop for our special day and weekend. The house itself is simply magical — steeped in history, yet filled with warmth and character that made every moment feel intimate and unforgettable.

    From early planning stages to the weekend itself, Melissa and the entire team made us feel completely supported. Holly, our wedding coordinator, was absolutely incredible — so reliable, professional, and always there when we needed her. The amount of work Melissa, Holly and Rachel put behind the scenes was unbelievable. We were able to count on the team for every little detail, and it truly took the stress out of the planning process and on the day.

    The venue’s atmosphere is serene and welcoming, with lush gardens and breathtaking views that were perfect for both our ceremony at the church and the marquee reception that followed. Every corner of Pauntley Court felt like it was designed with love, and we were so grateful to have our wedding there.

    If you're looking for a venue that offers both beauty and excellent service, Pauntley Court is the place. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect weekend, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts.

    Intimate Christmas wedding

    We hoped for a beautiful intimate Christmas wedding and Pauntley Court far surpassed our expectations. The venue and grounds are beyond stunning and Melissa, Holly (our wedding coordinator) and Rachel (the housekeeper) supported throughout the planning stage and on the day to make it a truly magical day. The love given to Pauntley by its owners and staff is clear and it 100% reflected into our special day!

    An unforgettable weekend!

    Using the venue for the whole weekend and everything you could have needed was available. It was also nice that we were trusted to host our guests on the Friday and Sunday without staff being present but were available if and when required.

    All of the rooms and bathrooms were of a very high standard and in keeping with the style of the house. The robes/slippers and fresh flowers in each bedroom were also a nice touch.

    The outside spaces were very well kept and there was a lot of outdoor spaces to choose from for each aspect of the day. Thankfully, with it being a beautiful weekend of weather, we got to appreciate the beautiful gardens and the guests commented on how stunning these were.

    We feel that Holly made our day run so smoothly and she was very attentive. She continually supported us from the start of our planning, right up until the last dance. She took so much pressure off of us by ensuring everything was set up and arranged for us all. We were blown away by how it looked and we couldn't have done it without her.

    Rachel was absolutely amazing. Her help across the whole weekend was fantastic. The moment she greeted us on Friday, she was so welcoming and made us aware of her services and availability. All of our guests were amazed at all the work Rachel helped us with and it allowed us to all relax and enjoy our weekend, stress free! The breakfasts she prepared for us were delicious and full of compliments. She made a huge impact on our stay at Pauntley and we're so grateful for all of her help over the weekend.

    A truly magical weekend

    Our wedding weekend at Pauntley Court was perfect in every way. We chose Pauntley as the house itself is beautiful, the interior has been restored and decorated to the highest standard and still feels super homely and comfortable. On top of this the surrounding grounds are stunning, with multiple areas filled with trees, flowers and neatly trimmed hedges to explore, it made the perfect backdrop to our wedding ceremony and reception!

    Having exclusive use of the venue for 3 days, and hiring the housekeeper Rachel to help throughout, enabled us to truly relax and make the most of the wedding weekend with our friends and family. The staff at Pauntley went above and beyond to help in any way they could, both in preparation and throughout the wedding itself, and the teams warm presence really made the weekend extra special - we can't recommend Pauntley Court enough

    Pauntley Court's reply:

    Dear Macey
    Thank you very much for such a lovely testimonial about your wedding here at Pauntley. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay in the house and that you loved being in the gardens for your wedding day, using all the spaces with their clipped yew trees and box hedges. It is great that you had Rachel, our fantastic housekeeper, to look after during your three day stay here too. you looked so beautiful on your wedding day and the tipi was stunning inside with all the gorgeous flowers. We really hope you will keep in touch and come back and stay in the Dovecote one day soon maybe!
    With our best wishes
    Melissa and The Pauntley Team

    The perfect venue for an intimate wedding

    If you are looking for an intimate wedding venue, I don’t think you can do better than the location and the team at Pauntley Court. The setting is superb, highly photogenic inside and out, and an amazing place to spend a few days. The attention to detail in the house is outstanding, whether in the formal rooms or the kitchen, where we found everything could possibly need (and a lot more!). From the outset we were extremely well looked after by Melissa and the team, and I can honestly say that I can’t think of any aspect of our wedding that could have gone better. We already want to come back to celebrate our anniversary!

    What a venue!

    Pauntley court was an amazing venue for our intimate wedding in April 2024. We had a total of 16 people, we viewed a few venues that could have catered for us but Pauntley stood out as the best and we are very pleased we chose this one. The entire day went smoothly and this is thanks to Melissa and Jilly who were extremely helpful and very friendly throughout the planning process and on the day. We were lucky with the weather which meant we could utilise a lot of the fabulous grounds as well as the beautiful house over the weekend. Elinor Fettiplace is a separate wing of the house which we used as the bridal suite and also where all the girls got ready. This has all the facilities you could want with a full kitchen, living room and enormous bathroom and bedroom.

    We were married in the panelled room in front of the fireplace which was incredibly romantic and worked perfectly and I would highly recommend for an intimate wedding.

    We used a number of the suppliers from the list provided by Melissa and Jilly from caterers and florists to babysitting services and we were extremely pleased with them all. The venue also has a housekeeper, Rachel, who is very friendly. Rachel helped us tidy up and prepared an amazing cooked breakfast for us all on the Sunday morning which really went down a treat.

    Pauntley Court's reply:

    Dear Louise

    Thank you again for your very kind testimonial about your micro wedding here at Pauntley in April. We are so happy to read that you really felt that Pauntley Court was the perfect place for the smaller, more intimate affair. Lovely too that you were helped by Rachel, our brilliant housekeeper, as well as some of the other suppliers that we work with and highly recommend.

    We hope to see you again one day in the future!

    Best wishes

    Melissa and The Pauntley Team
