Holland wedding

From the moment we first visited The Astbury, we knew there was something truly special about it, but what made our wedding experience completely unforgettable was Val. We honestly cannot put into words how incredible she has been throughout the entire journey.

Val is everything you could ever hope for in a wedding planner and so much more. She is exceptionally organised, professional, calm, kind and endlessly supportive. No question was ever too much, no request ever felt like a problem, and she was always there whenever we needed her. Over the months of planning, she really got to know us as a couple and became such an important part of our wedding journey. We built such a lovely relationship with her and genuinely trusted her with every detail of our day.

We had a lot of ideas, requests and personal touches we wanted included, and somehow Val made every single one happen flawlessly. On the wedding day itself, everything was beyond perfect. Every detail was taken care of so seamlessly that we were able to completely relax and just soak in every second. Knowing Val was there overseeing everything gave us so much comfort and confidence.

The Astbury itself is simply breathtaking. Every part of the venue feels magical, from the beautiful Manor House to the Walled Garden and stunning Tipi. It offers so many options and every single area feels special in its own way. The setting created the most perfect atmosphere for our wedding and honestly exceeded every expectation we had. For the quality, beauty and experience you receive, the value for money is unbelievable.

What meant the most to us was hearing our guests constantly telling us it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. So many people commented on how stunning the venue was, how smoothly everything ran and how unforgettable the whole day felt. It truly felt like a dream from beginning to end.

We would recommend The Astbury and especially Val to absolutely anyone.

May 2026 wedding

We hosted our wedding at the beautiful Astbury Golf & Lodge Resort this May and had the most amazing day. Valme was fantastic—relaxed, flexible, and always quick to respond, making the whole planning process stress-free. She pulled everything together perfectly, and the venue itself was a stunning setting for our celebration. We couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out.✨

The Wilson Wedding

The Astbury is truly a hidden gem. We must have viewed at least 10 venues across the West Midlands before discovering it, and until then, we just hadn't found "the one."

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away. The venue itself is stunning – from the beautiful grounds and the Manor House to the accommodation. Every detail exceeded our expectations. The food throughout the day was absolutely delicious and there was plenty of it too.

What really made the experience exceptional, though, was the team. Every member of staff was incredible and couldn't do enough for us. They were so accommodating, attentive, and worked tirelessly both in the lead-up to the wedding and on the day itself. Honestly, we couldn't fault a single thing. (Big mention to Millie and Carol, thank you both so much!!)

A very special mention has to go to Val. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish and played such a huge part in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be. We had plenty of questions, ideas, and requests along the way, but nothing was ever too much trouble for her. No matter what we asked, she was always happy to help, quick to respond, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was perfect for us. She guided us through every stage of the planning process, reassured us whenever we needed it, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel exciting and enjoyable.

By the time the wedding came around, it felt like Val wasn't just our wedding coordinator, but someone who genuinely cared about us and our day. We're honestly going to miss messaging her and working with her so much!

Thank you to Val and the entire Astbury team for making our wedding day so incredibly special. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we will be forever grateful for the memories you've given us. 💗💗

Our dream wedding day 23.05.26

We had our perfect day on 23.05.26, the whole team at The Astbury are just simply incredible! Nothing was too much hassle and everything was organised so perfectly!
From our first viewing until the day of our wedding we were so fortunate to have met Valme, the wedding coordinator for the venue. Now when I tell you this lady knows her stuff! We felt very confident and safe being looked after by Valme through the whole process, there’s nothing she doesn’t know about weddings! Valme made sure our day ran flawlessly from start to finish.
We were fortunate enough to get married in their very beautiful walled gardens however the queens room is equally as stunning! Our wedding breakfast and evening reception took place in their rustic tipi which is just breathtaking.
We honestly couldn’t recommend the Astbury more. It was the perfect place filled with incredible staff. Thank you all!
Mr & Mrs Williams!❤️

Wedding at The Astbury

If you’re thinking of booking The Astbury as your wedding venue - do it! We had the best day. No ask was too big and we had lots of options as to how and where we got married and how the reception would look. The team at The Astbury was faultless and Val, the events manger was amazing - they really all helped make our day what it was! Thank you so much - we’ll see you for our first anniversary, if not before.

Magnificent Wedding Venue

Wonderful venue, wonderful team! Honestly don't think our day would have been as great without the help of our event organiser Val Gomez, she was so helpful and supportive and made what could have been a stressful process so simple and easy. The whole team were wonderful and very accommodating to disabilities and dietary requirements, and I feel like the price we paid was more than worth it!

Anna and James Wedding - 28th March 2026

From the moment we first visited Astbury Hall to the very end of our wedding day, everything was absolutely perfect. We cannot thank Valme enough for the incredible amount of care, professionalism and dedication she put into organising our special day.
Valme was outstanding from start to finish. Her approach was warm, calm and reassuring, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Every detail was managed flawlessly, and she made the entire planning process completely stress-free for us. Her organisation was second to none, and it was obvious how much pride she takes in making every wedding truly special.
On the day itself, everything ran perfectly. The management of the whole event was exceptional, from the ceremony through to the evening celebrations. Every member of staff was attentive, friendly and professional, making us and all of our guests feel so well looked after.
The buffet food was absolutely incredible. There was such a fantastic selection, everything was beautifully presented and every dish was delicious. So many of our guests commented on how amazing the food was and how much they enjoyed it.
The venue itself was stunning, but what really made our day unforgettable was the genuine care and attention shown by Valme and the team. They went above and beyond in every way and made us feel completely relaxed and able to enjoy every moment.
Thank you for giving myself, James, and my now wife Anna the wedding of our dreams. We will never forget it.

Perfect wedding venue with perfect vendors.

I can’t put into words how breathtaking this venue truly is. We were lucky with the weather and held our ceremony in the garden area, which was beautifully rustic and full of charm. Afterwards, we continued the celebration in the tipi—and honestly, photos just don’t do it justice. It’s incredibly cosy, warm, and surrounded by the most spectacular views.

Valme was like our built-in event planner, and she was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, she brought the most wonderful energy, captured every moment, and made sure everything ran seamlessly throughout the day.

The food was delicious, with plenty of options and the flexibility to tailor everything to our tastes. We hosted an Indian civil wedding here, and it was everything we hoped for and more. And when night falls and you’re dancing under the fairy lights—it's nothing short of magical.

I couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough. It’s amazing value for money, unbelievably beautiful, and even offers on-site cabins that made the whole experience even more perfect.

A huge thank you to Valme and the entire team for giving us the best day of our lives.

First class team, venue, food and wedding day!


From choosing the venue to the morning we checked out after our special day, we knew we were in safe hands with Val, Carole, and the team.

The location is stunning, and the tipis are the icing on the cake with all the sparkling fairy lights to create a fabulous atmosphere.

We didn’t think this venue would be in our budget, but it suited us, and the added bonus of having a blank canvas to make your own for our unique special day. The grounds are amazing for photos, creating a perfect platform to remember our day. We were lucky to be able to have Plan A on our day to have our wedding outdoors, but Plan B was an option if the weather wasn’t right. Which was great peace of mind to be able to decide on the morning of our wedding.

The pre-taster of the wedding food was amazing (make sure you go hungry).

Our guests still use our day as a benchmark for other weddings they have been to. We say the day was perfect, and so do our guests.

We cannot recommend this wedding experience highly enough. The cottage with the hot tub was a great way to start and finish our day.

We would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone. Val and the team did a wonderful job and communicated with us throughout the planning process. We had such fantastic feedback from all of our guests regarding the venue, the service and the food. There were apparently lots of empty plates which is a win! As the bride, Val made me feel at total ease on the day, with co ordinating everything perfectly. It really was the best day, and seeing our guests so happy and all together in this beautiful venue was just perfect. We stayed on site which was also a huge bonus as the accommodation was amazing! Our theme was quite a laid back, rustic spring vibe, and from the photos, it came together beautifully with the help from our vendors, Val and the Astbury team.

We honestly do not know where to begin showing our gratitude to Valme and the Team - we cannot thank them enough! It’s been so hard knowing where to start because we’re just so sad the whole experience is over but at the same time we feel so incredibly lucky and will forever be in love with the Astbury!

From the moment we booked our big day, the team all made us feel amazing - from emails and meetings answering every question we had, to attending the beautiful wedding showcases bringing our ideas to life - Valme’s knowledge and attention to detail is just exceptional! The Astbury is so much more than just a stunning wedding venue; you are a honestly treated like family, and we are so honoured to have it as our special place, and have so many incredible memories there because of Valme and her team!

From the planning stages to our big day, every need and idea of ours was considered. Valme was nothing short of incredible. Her expertise, patience, and knowledge honestly knows no bounds— you are in such safe, wonderful hands with her planning your wedding. We even wish we could relive our day just to be able to take more time appreciating all of the little touches and moments she created for us!

Valme was there for us every step of the process with her thoughtful and careful guidance. She was fabulous at addressing any questions or little worries we had, helping us tremendously! Valme even possesses an amazing network of contacts, which meant that any extra vendors we needed or ideas we had were easily supported. She skillfully connected us with the right people or even sorted it all out directly.

Valme and the entire team went above and beyond to make sure our day was absolutely perfect. Even when the weather wasn't what we had hoped for, we never worried or felt concerned. This was because we wholeheartedly trusted Valme throughout the entire planning process, and we simply knew she would make our day exceptional— and she truly did.

Choosing The Astbury and Valme to help us with our wedding was the best decision we could have made. We’re left with beautiful memories that we will cherish forever, all thanks to their tireless efforts and incredible passion. We look forward to celebrating many anniversaries at our special place!

Thank you once again for everything, we love you all!
