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

Incredible Venue and Events Team!

We had our wedding at the Pear Tree and it was everything we had hoped it would be - the staff on the day were kind, attentive and helpful, and our wedding coordinator Lauren was really supportive and helpful during the planning process and on the day itself.

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

Mr & Mrs Rigby
