The most magical day

We couldn't recommend The Orangery more. With having to cancel our first venue with only 4 months to go, The Orangery was our savior. They went out of their way to make our day the best it could've been, and all our guests are saying it is the best wedding they have been to! From the support with the planning, to the final dance of the night, they were just amazing! Jamie, our wedding coordinator was the best, thank you SO much Jamie for everything you have done for us. We can't wait to hopefully come back and celebrate one of our friends/families wedding one day. This day will be with us forever.

Best wedding venue ever!!!!

Where do we even begin?!!!!
The venue speaks for itself!!! It's grounds are absolutely stunning!!
We had visited a couple wedding venues and we're due to see another when we had booked in for our show around day.
Needless to say... We did not look at the venue we were due to see next. We had seen everything we could have ever wanted in this stunning venue, AND MORE!
Not only were the grounds stunning, but the staff are amazingly brilliant!!! Even on the show around day, we had one to one tour which honestly we did not get anywhere else we went which just made it that much more special.

The lead up to the wedding is a stressful time for the bride and groom, usually! Honestly, we were so chilled out because the online software that the orangery uses is so easy to use, easy to input what we require and to see what is required of us!! Even on the very little that we were unsure of, we would communicate via email or phone call and would get our answers almost instantly!!! How many suppliers or venues can actually do that!!

The staff at the orangery made the whole planning so seamless, nothing was not thought about or mentioned. They communicated with us alot especially in the month leading up to the wedding day and this was very much needed.

We had Bryony who was our wedding coordinator and she was absolutely brilliant!!!
I said it before, during and after the wedding day but I'll say it again, although the orangery has a wedding going on almost every day, they honestly make your day feel like it's the only one, with all the effort and preparation that goes into it!!! Honestly I cannot praise this venue enough!!!

One of the things we were a bit disappointed with was that we could not do any food tasting, so just went on a whim to decide what food we chose for the day. We did get to try some other dishes on a VIP event that was put on months before. The reason for not having food tasting, the staff said they've never had complaints about their food and thought this was a bit strange. Well low and behold!!! The food was superb!!! We had the veggie soup, prawn cocktail, roast beef and chicken in mushroom sauce!!! All of which tasted absolutely amazing!!! So definitely trust their words!! The evening food we went for the burgers, well I myself was stuffed but our guests were so happy and said it was super tasty. One of the vegetarian guests said it was the best evening food they've had at a wedding!!!

On the day, we were super surprised and so in awe of the servers who served our food!!! I cannot explain until you see for yourself. Super professional and I've never seen anything like it! Everyone had commented on this after the wedding!

I could probably go on and on, but honestly the orangery and it's staff made our wedding flow so seamlessly, look absolutely stunning, and had the best communication with us.

We would recommend this venue and it's staff to anyone!!!! I can't imagine other venues give this much effort and care to their brides and grooms!! BEST WEDDING VENUE EVER!!

Easy and lovely from start to finish

I cannot thank the staff enough for how amazingly attentive they was through the hole wedding planning process and questions we had was always answered or acknowledged within 24 hours if not a lot sooner.
Stunning grounds and beautifully amazing food. Not one of our guests could fault anything on the day at all, from start to finish. Everyone said how amazing the food was some even said best wedding food they've had in years.

On the day itself they was attentive but not intrusive, they was always there when you needed them to be and worked seamlessly in the back ground to ensure everything went perfectly.

Thank you to the entire team you really do an amazing job.

We loved our big day and wish we could do it all over again.

Where my vision and dream became a reality

I couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with, their professionalism, organisation, leadership was above anything I have ever seen before! They are real people who do care about your day, everything going to plan and your dream coming true before your very eyes! There is nothing too big or small that they won’t do for you, from very complicated wedding breakfast choices to helping fix a sign where the paint has started to chip. The day went smoothly and effortlessly because they look after you from start to finish ensuring you are the guests of honour and that everything is going to your vision. Can’t thank you enough and everyone I speak to that attended says it was the most beautiful day which was at the highest quality! Thank you so much xx

Our dream wedding

We fell in love with The Orangery from our first visit. It had everything we wanted in a venue - beautiful outdoor options and importantly a beautiful indoor room in case of bad weather! The staff were excellent and helped us prepare everything exactly as we wanted it. Shout out to Natalia, who helped coordinate our entire day ensuring that everything went smoothly. The great thing about the venue is that they can help with almost everything if you want help with the organisation, but you can also completely personalise your day too.

Best wedding venue ever!!

The team at the Orangery were absolutely incredible and a huge part of what made our day even more special! They were on hand for any questions during the planning process and made our lives a lot easier - no question was too small and they were super supportive and accomodating throughout! We were able to just enjoy our day knowing that the team and Kate (our wedding coordinator) was running everything so smoothly and making sure that our guests were well looked after. The venue itself was absolutely stunning and everything we had dreamed of for our day, the Lapa was the most perfect place for our ceremony! The grounds were incredibly well looked after and the dressing room was stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better day, thank you so much!

The best venue!

Myself and my husband got married at The Orangery 23.03.24. From the moment we came to view it was clear that everyone knows exactly what they're doing. The grounds are venue are kept immaculately, the staff so knowledgeable and professional. Anyone getting married here is in very capable hands. Nothing was too much trouble - we had to do a last minute switch to an indoor wedding due to the weather and they rearranged decor perfectly. The staff serving dinner was like silver service. The food both for our wedding breakfast and the evening buffet was delicious. The DJ included had people on the dancefloor all night. So many of our guest said they couldn't believe how beautiful the venue was and said it was the best wedding they'd been to. Can't thank all the staff enough!

The wedding day we dreamed of

Honestly could not recommend the team at the orangery more, my partner and I could not believe how smoothly the day was ran from little things such as setting up our table decorations to running the whole day making sure everything fell into place, the staff went above and beyond for us on the day and we couldn’t be happier with how the day went!

Absolutely amazing

Everything about this venue is beyond words. The food was perfect and we had so many compliments on how great it was. The staff were fantastic from planning to the day itself. Beth was brilliant at helping to keep everything running smoothly until the evening! I wish I could do this day again and it would without doubt be at this venue if I could

Autumn Wedding at The Orangery

We knew that we wanted to get married at The Orangery from the moment we arrived. The grounds are beautiful with lots of different areas to visit, including streams, small waterfalls and a large lake. The ceremony room is beautiful and the skylights are complimented well by the sun.

Staff at the Orangery were brilliant and able to answer all of our questions about wedding fully and were easily contactable through the planning website we were given. The staff did a fantastic job on the day and set up the dinning hall well according to what we wanted. They were attentive the guests needs throughout the day and made it impossible for any moment to go wrong.
It was a perfect day!

100% recommend

We can’t recommend enough.
The setting and food were a big hit with our guests. The team were amazing from our first meeting all the way and so professional on the day dealing with absolutely everything - we didn’t get one question and just made everything so easy all we had to do was enjoy it. They also went above and beyond and we can’t thank you enough. If I could give you more stars, I would!

The perfect day!

The Orangery

We got married a month ago today and it was the prefect day made completely seamless by Natalia and her team. The venue was absolutely stunning, the food was amazing and the staff were incredibly helpful. Everyone said how wonderful the day was and that I was the most chilled bride they had ever seen, and that is all thanks to the team at The Orangery!

The Best Experience!

Can’t possibly summarise just how much we loved our day with the Orangery. As a bride I had absolutely no stress on the day. Beth, Harvey and Ella were amazing pre, during and even post! The team is friendly, communication is amazing and there isn’t one thing we would have changed. The venue is beautiful and food amazing!
The team also helped us reveal our pregnancy to our guests and were honestly amazing the whole way through!
Prices were fair and we really had the best time.
(Beth was also a dream as a wedding planner!!). I recommend you get married here or at least enquire:)

Just Simply amazing

The day of the wedding ran completely smooth without having to think of a single thing, everything was taken care of, big or small. We can’t thank Bex enough for just being a real life Angel. Our day was complete because nothing was too much to ask. I wish we could do it all over again, I would choose this venue again and again and again

Outstanding wedding venue

If you are considering booking The Orangery for your wedding, and you're wondering whether it is worth the money, or whether they will be up to the task, it is a resounding YES from us. We got married there last Saturday and I can honestly say it was the best day of our lives, it was absolutely perfect. The entire team is on hand, on time, clued up, on schedule and every single last member knows exactly what is going on at all times.
I think the secret to the success of the day is that The Orangery’s team are very organised in the weeks and even months prior to the day. The online Sonas portal is a godsend where you can upload all your suppliers, requirements, times, guest lists, seating plans, everything! The Orangery help you with various deadlines to make sure you’re on track and uploading things as and when they need to be submitted. It sounds daunting, but it isn’t! The team are always on hand to answer any questions you have in the run up to the event. You can email or send a message via the Sonas portal and you will have a guaranteed answer within 12 hours. You will also get to meet the team a few times before your big day. The initial meeting, the tasting and the final meetings are all there so you can meet face to face and work out any details that worry you.
On the day, it will be clear that The Orangery do weddings to perfection. It is the obvious that the team know their jobs inside out; they’ve done this before. But it also will feel like your wedding is absolutely the most important event in their calendar. It will feel like your wedding is the only wedding. You have the team’s full attention, and you will feel like they know you and your wishes inside out. As a bride it is so great to be able to get ready in The Wisteria Suite, right next door, so you can peek at the preparations.
In the lead up to the day, we did not hear a single negative comment about The Orangery. After the day, we have only received positive comments from our guests. As a bride and groom, you might be in your little bubble of love on the day, but all our guests were absolutely delighted. From the food to the service, everyone was thrilled. The waiting team looks a million dollars all dressed in black uniform, entering the room together and in sync, serving tables quickly but professionally.
The Orangery is blessed with close to 10 acres of grounds for your guests to explore, a stream, 3 ceremony area options, a spectacular breakfast room and a fantastic terrace. This truly is a special wedding venue. If we could do it all over again we wouldn’t change a thing.
I could go on and on but there will be nothing left for you to discover. If you’ve read this far then take our word for it, do something for yourselves and book The Orangery for your wedding. You will not regret it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
