Last update: September 2025

Tucked away in the charming Wiltshire village of Purton, on the edge of the Cotswolds, The Pear Tree is a 400-year-old country house where history and modern elegance meet. Surrounded by rolling countryside, vineyards, and gardens, it’s a place where your wedding day feels effortlessly timeless, yet entirely your own. From the moment you arrive, you’re met with a welcoming atmosphere and a team devoted to making every detail unforgettable.

Your day might begin in Cascade, a serene and stylish dressing space filled with light and excitement, before making your entrance into the Blossom ceremony room, a whimsical setting of draped canopies, flickering candlelight, and chandeliers that cast a romantic glow. With room for up to 150 guests, it’s as perfect for an intimate gathering as it is for a grand celebration. Step outside for those magical confetti moments on the open-air staircase, then wander together into the gardens, vineyard paths, or the terrace with its views over church spires, woodland, and open fields.

When it comes to food and drink, The Pear Tree takes pride in creating experiences to savour. Whether you dream of refined fine dining or the joy of family-style sharing boards, your menu is entirely flexible, crafted with you to reflect your personality. Evenings might bring wood-fired pizzas fresh from the terrace kitchen or vibrant street food under the stars, all paired with carefully chosen wines and signature cocktails mixed to your taste. For something truly special, the Chef’s Table event offers an immersive culinary experience to enjoy with your closest friends and family before the big day.

As the celebration flows into the stylish Orangery for your wedding breakfast, or the buzzing Bartlett Bar and Lounge for an evening of dancing, the service remains impeccable yet relaxed, the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. Guests can retire to beautiful on-site bedrooms, while you escape to Moonglow, the romantic Honeymoon Suite. And for a thoughtful modern touch, EV chargers are ready for those making the journey in electric style.

At The Pear Tree, every moment is designed to feel personal, natural, and full of joy, a wedding day that truly feels like yours, surrounded by beauty, history, and the people you love most.

The best day ever.

Where to begin. The venue firstly is absolutely gorgeous! The getting reading rooms for the bridal party offers plenty of space, the surroundings are beautiful and the food was to die for. Not to be biased - but I’ve never seen such a thoughtfully put together plate of food than at any other wedding, the standard was no doubt high. We were able to set up our reception room decor with the help of staff, our coordinator Chris was very responsive to comms throughout and the process of deciding how the day would run was stress-free. The rooms were spotless, housekeeping and grounds maintenance is clearly kept to a high standard. Even the breakfast food the following morning was fantastic with lots of options to cater for everyone and tasted amazing. All of our guests had the best compliments for the overall experience.
I would highly recommend this venue for the overall professionalism, standard of food and quality service.

Stunning venue and a perfect day

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! The aesthetics and grounds are absolutely stunning — every corner was picture-perfect and made for the most beautiful photos. The food was incredible, and all of our guests commented on how delicious everything was.
The drinks were another highlight — the range of cocktails was fantastic (especially appreciated by the bride, who’s a big cocktail lover!). Booking and planning were so easy, and the events manager was always on hand to answer questions or help with any last-minute changes we needed to make.
The whole day went seamlessly — everything ran perfectly, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We’re so grateful to the entire team for helping make our day so special. Highly recommend!

Our perfect day at The Pear Tree

The Pear Tree was the most perfect wedding venue—we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting. The house and grounds are absolutely stunning and created the dream backdrop for our day. The food was incredible—huge compliments to the chef, everything tasted amazing and was presented beautifully. A special thank you to Chris, our event coordinator, who was so helpful throughout the entire process. He made everything run smoothly and nothing was ever too much trouble.

The wedding of our dreams!

We had the pleasure of getting married at The Pear Tree on Saturday 14th December 2024 and the day was everything we could have dreamt of and more.

The whole wedding planning experience was enjoyable, right from the first look of the venue in April 2024! It’s such a stunning venue, we could picture ourselves getting married there instantly and our two dogs could be included so we didn’t hesitate to secure our date.

We were made to feel extremely special by all the team right through from the welcome meeting with John, then a second look round bringing our parents. We had supportive face to face planning meetings with Zee where she helped to advise on timings and layout for smooth running whilst also ensuring we were tailoring the day and adding our own personal spin on how we wanted it to be. Our next visit was a private menu tasting experience where the chefs and bar staff completely wow’ed us! Lauren then took care of our final planning details and prepared us for our big day.

Lauren and all the staff worked very hard on the day to ensure everything was set up to and positioned to how we desired. Lauren made us feel so relaxed whilst she ensured the timings with our other suppliers and throughout the day ran smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The drinks reception and dinner service was top tier, we received so much positive feedback of how much our guests enjoyed it and the pizzas also went down a storm in the evening.

Throughout the whole day and night, all of our guests and bride and groom were very well looked after. Huge thanks again to everyone at The Pear Tree, Purton.

We had THE best time!

We recently had our wedding at The Pear Tree in Purton and honestly the whole team were incredibly organised, professional and remembered every tiny detail, a word we both used to describe our experience was…seamless. Myself and my now Husband (eeee), along with all of our guests, were so well taken care of by the whole team and our events manager Lauren always made us feel so relaxed whilst gently keeping us to the time schedule we wanted. Lauren was perfectly attentive, always making sure we were having THE best time.
The food felt very high quality, even down to the breakfast the following day with as many hot drinks on order that you could want with fresh bacon/mushroom rolls along with a lovely continental table!
All our guests have said what a beautiful time they had, and we wish we could re live the whole day.
Thanks again to everyone at The Pear Tree Purton, Mr & Mrs Buck

Best Day Ever

We had our wedding at the Pear Tree on Saturday 11 Feb and it was absolutely magical!! We knew the venue was perfect for us even before first viewing but this was only confirmed when the venue agreed to hold our wedding on a date they were scheduled to still be closed for January maintenance.

Food was incredible, venue/rooms were spotless and spectacular, service was amazing - catering, bar, housekeeping. Honestly can't thank the team enough for making everything so special and we've had so many compliments from guests!

Tom and I want to say a huge thank you to the team for making our weekend so special!! A massive thanks to Zosia and Lauren who helped make the Friday and Saturday as stress-free and seamless as possible and whose attention to detail helped to make the Orangery look perfect! A huge thanks also to Lauren and Jade for their patience and help along the planning journey.

Wish we could do it all again 💖

Absolutely Brilliant!!!

The Pear Tree is an absolutely stunning venue with a first class events team. Throughout our planning journey (which was extended due to COVID) the events team have been excellent at keeping in contact, checking in regularly, and making the vision of our wedding a reality. On the day of our wedding they were brilliant at ensuring that we had everything we needed, guests were happy, drinks and food were aplenty and that the day flowed smoothly without a hitch. We are so grateful for everything they have done for us and could not have planned our wedding to have been in a more wonderful place.

The BEST day of our lives

Massive THANK YOU to Duncan, Sarah & the entire team at The Pear Tree.
We finally had our day on 19th August 2021 after postponing from 2020 and we must say it was certainly worth the wait! It was the BEST day of our lives.
We fell in love the venue as soon as we saw it and knew instantly this was the place we wanted to say ‘I do’
Even though we faced many challenges over the period when Covid first hit, Sarah & Angus were fantastic and came up with solutions to hold our special day, which we decided to postpone. After 18 months of planning our day had finally arrived the excitement was unreal. Our day was beyond everything we hoped and wished for, the day was filled with fun, happiness and so much love by all. It was perfect in every way and that was down to the AMAZING team at The Pear Tree.
Special thanks to Duncan our Wedding Events Manager who personally ensured the day went smooth and perfect for us. Duncan’s attention to detail was five star and everything was covered throughout the day.
I personally would like to say Thank- You for putting up with me :-)
Some more thanks to Sarah, Jade & Emily for all your support and time you have given me and my hubby, we appreciate you all.
The food and service was out of this world of which many guests still comment on today.
We would highly recommend this stunning venue for your special day.

Thank you again to each and every member of the team at The Pear Tree.

Best Wishes
