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.

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!

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!

Amazing venue!

Me and my husband got married at the Astbury in June 2025 and had the most incredible day! We would absolutely recommend this venue to any couple looking! All of our guests commented how amazing the day was! The staff went above and beyond and no request was too big! The food was amazing, we had a choice, menu for our guests and every course was delicious including the evening buffet! Special shout out to Valme, who made us feel at ease from start to finish, and ensured the smooth running of our day! Thank you for welcoming us to the Astbury family and ensuring our day was unforgettable! We wish we could do it all over again! Xx

Mom of Bride

The Astbury is a splendid venue. Classic stately hall, rustic tipi, wonderful panoramamic views for those special photos and intimate moments. There's plenty of places for all guests to relax, chat and children can play. Even poochies welcomed.
Valme and her team meet your every need tirelessly with professionalism, good humour, leading the day into one of seemless fun, relaxation, laughter and cherished memories. From the time of booking the date this wedding journey is one of "hearts desire".
The wedding breakfast divine and every special dietary requirement safely catered for.
I personally cannot thank you all enough for creating a most beautiful memorable occasion of four days for our daughter and son-in- law and our guests.

My sons wedding

A beautiful day made special at this wonderful venue.
The marquis was tent style and was decorated beautifully. My mom has Alzheimer’s and they accommodated her very limited diet so she could be part of her grandsons day. I
Know there were a few more fussy eaters ( myself included) where they also altered our meal to accommodate us. The staff were very attentive and professional and couldn’t do enough for my handsome son and his beautiful bride.
Thank you for your part in making their day perfect

Willis Wedding 08.06.24

Honestly can’t recommend The Astbury enough for any future couples looking for a beautifully scenic & high end service for their wedding. From the very first moment, we met Val (The Events Manager) she spent time with us, showed us around and we were hooked. She truly made us feel at ease and we just knew our wedding would be in safe hands with her and the rest of the fantastic Astbury staff! We still receive comments from family & friends about how amazing our wedding was there 🥰 If we could do the whole thing over again, we wouldn’t choose anywhere else but The Astbury.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
