01.07.2023 the most wonderful day ♥️
My husband and I got married at the Old Vicarage on the 1st July 2023. From attending the open day and seeing the venue my husband and I fell in love with it. The grounds and rooms are stunning and the attention to detail in every way was outstanding. Laura and the team put us at ease and answered any questions we had. The day itself was incredible and all we could have wished for.
Our guests also commented how wonderful this venue really is. The food was incredible, some of the best we have ever eaten. Thank you so much for making our special day as fantastic as it was, we couldn’t be happier

So so happy
I originally struggled finding venues for a smaller wedding, with a lot of venues looking like someone's house. For me, this venue was the standout from the start. Firstly the food is absolutely amazing, and I got so many complements from guests. The staff were so communicative from the start and they ensured the whole day flowed smoothly without any thoughts or stress on my part. I knew they would be great but they exceeded expectations thoroughly on the day :)-

The perfect day!!
We had our wedding at The Old Vicarage using their elopement package, and it was absolutely perfect. Although the package only covers a few hours, every single moment was so thoughtfully executed — it felt like a complete celebration.
We were incredibly lucky with the weather, which meant our guests could sit outside and enjoy the beautiful garden. The children especially loved it — they had space to run around and explore, which kept them happily entertained.
The staff were exceptional: warm, professional, and so helpful throughout. They made everything feel seamless and relaxed.
The food was also outstanding! We chose the canapés, and everyone was raving about how delicious they were. Dietary requirements were handled perfectly, with care and attention to detail.
If you're considering The Old Vicarage for your wedding, don’t hesitate — you will not be disappointed. It truly was the most magical setting for our special day.The Old Vicarage Boutique Wedding Venue's reply:

Best Day of Our Lives
Myself and my wife got married at the Old Vicarage on the 8th June 2024.
After visiting a few venues, we instantly fell in love with both the venue and the staff there, who made the whole process so much less stressful.
Laura was amazing throughout, acting as our Event planner through the process, and was always there to answer all our questions and make us at ease with any of our worries.
The Venue and grounds are absolutely stunning with a special attention to detail which sets it apart.
On the day itself Chelsea and the Team were incredible, from potentially having to switch to an indoor ceremony due to the weather, to then being able to go ahead as planned, with the outdoor ceremony, they kept us informed and managed the multiple set ups entirely, all the way through they were exceptional and even took time to settle our nerves individually. The food and drink were outstanding too with all 80 of our guests saying how much they enjoyed everything, it was truly all we could have ever wished for.
Can't thank you all enough for making our day the best day of our lives.-

Thank you for creating our Special Day
Great Venue, W-Coordinator Tom was very patient and knew exactly what we wanted and how to handle a wedding as crazy as ours! 360 Cameras, an Escape Room, Murder Mystery and a Piñata and Tom was chilled let it all happen even when I kept saying where am I going to put a TARDIS?! He said we can deal with it 👍🏻 highly recommend! -

The most amazing venue
My husband and I married at The Old Vicarage in June and from start to finish it was the most amazing day. As soon as I saw the venue online I knew it was the place we would tie the knot. This was then cemented as soon as we arrived to view the venue. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful and were always willing to go the extra mile in every step of the planning. My hundreds of questions were always left answered and nothing seemed too much to deal with. Fast forward to the day and they left me with absolutely no stress, running the day exactly as planned which was a massive sigh of relief for a nervous bride! All of our guests complimented the venue and the food got amazing reviews. I’m gutted that our big day is over and I’ll be forever grateful to all the staff but especially Laura & Jess for all of their help!

Simply Superb
Today is exactly one month to the day since I had the pleasure of witnessing the wedding of my step daughter Sophie to her partner Megan on Friday June 2nd and what a perfect day to behold.
Laura and the team delivered the most professional and fist class experience in a setting that was stunning from beginning to end (enhanced by perfect weather).
The attention to detail right from the moment we arrived to the venue, through to the ceremony and onto the catering was first class. Laura and her team took over the responsibility for delivering a memorable experience and excelled expectations. Truly Professional!!!
When the girls first booked the venue I did have reservations about the size of the bar and how they would cope but I am happy to eat my words because the level of service was impeccable. This team really know what they are doing and operate like a well oiled machine!!!!
I am not the easiest person to impress but I would have to say this experience was as close to perfect as I have experienced. Attention to detail was breathtaking with chefs delivering an excellent quality lunch (no bland wedding catering here) and even taking the time to provide a gluten free pizza to one guest as part of the evening service.
As immediate family of the wedding party we had the pleasure to stay overnight and the accommodation and breakfast the following morning were impeccable. The breakfast is worth mention on its own, simply delicious!!
Laura, thank you to you and your team (unfortunately I do not have their names but each and everyone of them is a credit to you) for a wonderful day.
For anybody out their considering this venue, simply put your faith in Laura and this team you will not be disappointed but delighted !!!Thank you! -

Very special
This venue is absolutely stunning and the team are amazing. I cannot thank Laura and the team enough for all of their hard work. The food was fantastic. The day was so well run and organised. We didn’t need to think about a thing. All our family and friends commented on how beautiful the venue is, how lovely the rooms are, how good the food was, and how lovely the team were and how hard they all worked. It all came together to create a very special day. I highly recommend this venue. -

Amazing Venue
From the moment we drove up the drive to have a look around The Old Vicarage we knew it was special. The venue is absolutely beautiful both inside and out. Laura is amazing from making the booking nearly 2 years before our wedding day right up until the day after she was extremely responsive and helpful in answering many questions via email and was unbelievable when we arrived for our exclusivity the night before our wedding all the way through to us leaving the morning after our wedding-she is a machine! Always smiling, guides the team around her with expertise and professionalism so that everything just runs so smoothly. All our guests commented on the amazing venue, the rooms and the food. The food was so tasty and presented beautifully. There really is no need to worry about anything on the day Laura and her team guide you every step of the way and whatever you are unsure of they have the answer and reassurance needed. The only downside was it was all over too quickly. We really did have a perfect day, thank you to all the team, Laura, chef, waiting staff, bar staff, cleaners, gardeners and everyone else who is involved. -

Amazing Experience
We got married at The Old Vicarage on the 18th March this year and I have been thinking about what to write as a review to do this place justice ever since and I’ve realised I don’t think I can actually put into words how amazing this venue, the staff and our day was. From the minute we stepped into TOV on our first visit we fell in love with the place, Laura the Events Manager is amazing and was with us right from booking through to our big day. My bridesmaids and I stayed over the evening before the wedding and it was the best decision. No request is too big, not only was I pregnant when we got married but I’d also had some health issues which meant I had to have a special diet, which TOV completely catered for to ensure I was ok throughout the day. The team really are experts in what they do. If you are thinking of booking TOV I would recommend going to an open day and meeting all of their regular and trusted suppliers, this takes loads of stress out of trying to find suppliers for the big day.
Our wedding was a total dream, even torrential rain didn’t spoil it! We can’t thank the team enough xx-
