From the very first time we met Laura at The Bay Tree back in September, we instantly knew she - and this beautiful beautiful venue - were the one for us ✨️. Laura made the entire planning process feel effortless, and your calm, organised, and supportive nature made all the difference. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every single one of my (many!) questions and emails was met with such grace, kindness, and promptness.

As for the big day itself - we’re still completely blown away. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and so much of that is down to you. Laura coordinated the day so seamlessly that we (especially me!) didn’t have to worry about a single thing. We are beyond grateful to have had you by our side through it all. If we could do it all again, we absolutely would - just to have the chance to work with you again!

I want to give a special mention separate thank you to Becky, Alana, Enya and the wonderful front-of-house team, who were all fantastic both in the lead-up and on the day itself. A special shout out to Ethan, who so many of our guests praised for being absolutely brilliant!

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts ❤️ We are already looking ag when we can come back for our anniversaries and special occasions ✨️

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue than The Bay Tree Hotel. From start to finish, everything was absolutely flawless. The charm and character of the hotel created the most beautiful setting for our special day, and the team went above and beyond to make it unforgettable.

A special thank you to Laura and Becky, who were simply amazing throughout. Nothing was ever too much trouble – they were always on hand, calm, kind, and completely dedicated to making sure everything ran smoothly. Their attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference.

The food was truly incredible – every single guest commented on how delicious it was, beautifully presented and served with such professionalism. The rooms were immaculate, full of character and comfort, and every member of staff worked tirelessly with a smile to ensure everything was just right.

If you’re considering The Bay Tree Hotel for your wedding – don’t hesitate. It’s a 10 out of 10, 5-star, outstanding venue that will exceed every expectation. We are so grateful for the unforgettable memories we now have – thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

What an incredible venue and team, we had an unbelievably beautiful day with the most exceptional service.

The rooms are gorgeous, all well equipped and the decor was lovely.

The set up of the ceremony room, the dining room for our wedding breakfast and again for the reception was seamless.

Food was delicious, everyone commented on how tasty and well presented it was.

Laura was so supportive and patient, in a short time frame she organised everything so well, kept us informed and on track with emails and calls.

Becky and the team on the day were truly fantastic, there was nothing they didn’t think of or do. They were always there when we needed something even if we didn’t know what we needed!! They kept everything on time, together and absolutely perfect, they literally thought of everything and anything possible.

We have heard nothing but praise and admiration for you and the team from both guests staying, guests there for the day and those there for the evening.

Highly recommended for an unforgettable and memorable day.

We got married at The Bay Tree at the end of May and had the most amazing day. Laura was just a dream as a wedding coordinator - always on hand for all our questions in the run up to the day, so professional, organised and lovely! Laura and the team ensured that our day was smooth running - our guests have commented on how smoothly the day went and we didn’t have to think of a thing on the day! We truly just relaxed and enjoyed the day. We loved that we had exclusive use of the venue and really did use all areas! The bar/lounge area was perfect for those in the evening who didn’t want to dance. We were fortunate with the weather and were able to make use of the terrace and garden which were lovely especially with use of garden games from The Bay Tree. The food was a real highlight - our guests are still talking about how good it all was plus the portion sizes were amazing! A few of our guests have since returned to The Bay Tree for lunch! We loved that we could offer rooms for our guests and were so impressed by them. It was lovely to be able to have breakfast with our guests the next day and having the option of a continental buffet plus a hot dish. The Bay Tree and Burford are so picturesque with ample opportunities for good pictures! Overall we are so so pleased that we chose The Bay Tree as our wedding venue and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! Thank you Laura and team for making our day truly special. Dominique & Nat

We recently had our wedding at The Bay Tree Hotel, and we can honestly say it was the most amazing day of our lives. From start to finish, everything was perfect – the venue is absolutely stunning, full of charm and character, and created the most beautiful setting for our special day.

What truly set The Bay Tree apart, though, was the incredible staff. Every single member of the team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we and our guests felt completely looked after. Nothing was too much trouble, and their professionalism and warmth didn’t go unnoticed.

Further to the staff, their wedding fayre led to us finding a dream team of suppliers and seeing them work in the space and the staff on the put us completely at ease. I can't not say anything about the food! Our guests won't stop talking about it, and quite honestly the menu tasting was easily the best part about planning. All of our wedding guests travelled to the wedding and being able to use the exclusive use package took a lot of stress off of our plate!

A special shout out goes to Laura, the wedding coordinator, who was simply outstanding. Her support throughout the planning process was invaluable – she was always responsive, and thoughtful, and helped us figure out the logistics of special requests and ideas. Her attention to detail ensured everything came together just perfectly on the day. Laura genuinely cares, and it showed in everything she did. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through it all.

We are so grateful to everyone at The Bay Tree Hotel for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime. If you're considering this venue for your wedding, don’t hesitate – you’ll be in the best hands.

The Bay Tree Hotel was the first venue we viewed and we fell in love with it from the start. The opportunity for exclusive use as well as the wonderful gardens and layout made it a clear winner for the wedding we wanted. From the moment we started planning with Laura, through all our consultations and the day itself it was such a relaxed experience. Every member of staff at the Bay Tree has been wonderful and so welcoming of us having our big day at the hotel. With so many of our guests being from overseas as well as not from the Cotswolds, we wanted a beautiful spring wedding and had just that.

We would especially like to thank Laura who guided us through the planning of the day as well as the on the day wedding coordination. It was lovely working with her and the wider team who made the day so wonderful. We were lucky enough to be able to stay in the hotel the night before our wedding and the customer service from then until our departure was impeccable. Nothing was too much trouble from storing boxes of decorations, chocolates in the cellar so they wouldn’t melt and organising an early room service breakfast for me on the morning so I could completely relax took all the stress away.

Overall we and our families and friends had the most wonderful stay at the hotel and the wedding was unforgettable. Our guests have all commented on how seamless everything was and how relaxed and comfortable they all felt. The day was really geared around us and celebrating with our loved ones and we couldn’t thank the Bay Tree enough for this. We would recommend the Bay Tree and the team to anyone looking to have their wedding in the Cotswolds.

As mother of the bride, I would not hesitate in recommending The Bay Tree for a wedding, particularly in winter, with its flagstone floors, roaring fires and Christmas decorations. The wedding package they offer with exclusive use of all their bedrooms is extremely competitive and makes you feel as if you are hosting a private, intimate house party. If you are looking for a historic, attractive and authentic venue in the heart of the Cotswolds, with excellent customer service, then The Bay Tree is ideal. Laura, the Wedding Coordinator is superb and you can add as many personal touches to your Reception as you wish. All the staff are totally delightful; friendly, efficient and always willing to go the extra mile, from Reception, to the waiting and bar staff, who end up feeling like extended family. The food, for the price, was excellent and my daughter married at nearby Shorthampton Church, just 6 miles away. Having our meal lit almost entirely by candles was magical on what turned into a wet, cold December afternoon - the perfect retreat!

We wanted a small wedding with our children and our dog in Burford a place we have visited a few times and loved.
The Bay Tree Hotel was perfect for our stay and our wedding ceremony in the Hawthorn Room was just perfect. The rooms are stunning and the hotel has a lovely atmosphere with log fires in most rooms.
Laura the wedding coordinator is the loveliest person to deal with, she made our day flow perfectly to meet our needs and contributed greatly to making it a special day we will cherish forever.

We cannot thank The Bay Tree Hotel and their Wedding & Events coordinator Laura enough for making our wedding day so incredibly special. From the very first meeting, their enthusiasm and communication was great. Laura kept us updated throughout the entire planning process, answering all our questions and guiding us through every decision with patience and professionalism.

We felt so special on our day, the staff were so attentive to myself and my toddler at breakfast before the ceremony and all throughout our stay and our visits to them beforehand. Laura's attention to detail was amazing. She had so many thoughtful touches that made the day even more memorable - from a glass of Prosecco she had ready for us after the ceremony through to picking out such fun Halloween-inspired sweets for our sweet table that our guests loved.

The venue is beautiful, we were lucky with sunshine in late October but there would be plenty of photo opportunities even if we couldn't make it outside. The day ran seamlessly, guests were guided where they needed to be and the hotel atmosphere was exactly what we had wanted for our day.

What really stood out to us was how fantastic the hotel and whole team were to work with - everyone we spoke to was helpful and kind. Laura was always approachable, calm, and genuinely happy to do anything she could to make our day perfect. Whether it was last-minute requests or adjustments, Laura handled everything with a smile.

We could not recommend The Bay Tree Hotel and Laura enough!

Thank you to Laura and the team for sorting our day. The venue was decorated exactly how we wanted and we didn’t need to worry about a thing - everything went smoothly and our guests thought the venue was incredible. Thank you again!

We held our Wedding Ceremony and Reception at the Bay Tree Hotel on a Thursday in late August.
Wow, what a venue! Beautiful spaces, elegant and classy but great value compared to many we looked at. The hotel is beautiful inside and out. The food was excellent; we choose the Beef - yum! The staff were exceptional, they really seemed to enjoy making our day so special. The guest rooms were all lovely and the other rooms are gorgeous, especially once decorate for our event. We didn’t need to go mad on flowers because there is already so much beauty in the rooms. A big thank you goes to Laura who is the wedding coordinator; from the start she made us feel like we were in capable hands, as shown by the final event. Every one of our guests said what a magical day and night it was. We wouldn’t change anything and couldn’t recommend the venue more highly!

From the very start of planning our day through to the end it was a seamless, relaxed and joyous experience and every staff member we encountered along the way at the Bay Tree provided impeccable customer service and care. You brought our vision to life and made our day so incredibly special.

We would especially like to acknowledge and thank Laura who guided us through the initial planning of the day before her leave. It was lovely working with her and it was a seamless handover when she went on leave. A huge thanks to Becky taking over the wedding co-ordination. Becky was so professional, reliable and attentive to details. She was also very friendly, open to our ideas and also offered helpful suggestions. She is such a safe pair of hands when it comes to bringing the day together.

We would also like to thank all the wonderful staff at the hotel who made our wedding and stay there such a lovely experience. From the moment we arrived two days before the wedding to the point of check out every staff member was friendly, professional and always willing to help where they could whether it be moving luggage or just making us a drink to enjoy! No request was too much for anyone and the hotel really does feel like a home away from home.

Overall we and our families and friends had the most wonderful stay at the hotel and the wedding was unforgettable. We would recommend the Bay Tree and the team to anyone looking to either stay or host an event in the Cotswolds. It is a beautiful venue and the events team is amazing.

We recently celebrated our wedding at the Baytree Hotel and it was a magical experience. As my hometown, Burford has always been a very special place and I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else. The Baytree made all of my dreams a reality. The team ensured from the very start of our planning that every detail was catered for. The venue is absolutely stunning and all the staff were incredibly attentive, ensuring our day ran smoothly from start to finish. A special thank you to Laura and Becky for making our wedding day truly the best day of our lives!

The Bay Tree is a stunning place to hold a wedding and had long been a family favourite as a hotel and restaurant before we chose it for our wedding venue. As it is licensed, we were able to have both our ceremony and reception there, which made for a logistically easier day for everyone, as there was no need to travel between ceremony and reception venues. As the way they do it for weddings is as an exclusive hire, you can "sell" back the rooms to your guests and this then comes off your final bill and our guests told us they found it very convenient that we went for a venue which included accommodation. This also meant that we got to enjoy breakfast the next morning with those guests who had stayed over the night before, which was lovely.

We are very grateful to Laura and the rest of the staff at the Bay Tree who worked so hard to make our wedding such a wonderful, special and memorable day for everyone. We really appreciated their care and attention to detail, from Laura's help and guidance throughout the planning process, the room upgrade when we came to stay for our wedding menu tasting, to the little touches on the day itself, like greeting us with a glass of Pimms as we came out of our wedding ceremony and consulting with us to check how we wanted the cheese cake to be presented in the evening. Several of our family members commented afterwards on how smoothly the day ran overall and how impressed they were by the quality of the food and service that we received. They were also very accommodating about providing ramps for my disabled father, who uses a walker and struggles to climb stairs, which was greatly appreciated.

The only thing we would say is that there were a lot of things which were priced as extras which we would have expected to be included, and the communication around the pricing of some extras was not quite as transparent or consistent as we would have liked. The way that the rooms were deducted from the final bill was also quite confusing to get our heads around, and could have been explained more clearly. However, it all worked out fine in the end and ultimately we would not hesitate to recommend the Bay Tree as a wedding venue to others. We look forward to visiting in the future as husband and wife :)

The baytree team were amazing for our wedding. So helpful and managed everything perfectly. Perfect venue and such lovely staff, thank you!
