Our perfect wedding at Thorseby Riding Hall

We had our wedding reception at Thorseby Riding Hall and my goodness - it was truly perfect. The venue really is outstanding and has that “wow factor” that you really dream about for your big day. The draped fairy lights make the vast traditional space feel intimate and cozy, yet timeless and SO photogenic. Similarly, the outside space in the Secret Garden is perfectly picturesque, full of little sun traps for you and your guests to relax during those in-between times.

We and our guests were stunned by the magical feel that Thoresby Riding Hall radiates. Everyone commented on how they were taken back with how beautiful it really was.

Everything flows beautifully with the venue and the organisation and communication with the people in charge was great. Quick responses and very accommodating.

Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made, we had a wedding to be proud of and will remember forever!

Mr & Mrs Cameron 2023

This venue isn’t talked about enough! The staff are absolutely fantastic! Without them I really don’t think the day would have ran as smoothly as it did! Natasha and Lauren’s communication before the wedding was just what every bride needs they reassured me and made sure everything was just perfect, there are just no words to how stunning the venue is, walking into the empty hall and booking it you never really know what to expect but it was more than I dreamed of, again I couldn’t recommend this venue enough and the staff are a credit to Thoresby xx

Amazing wedding

Right from us pulling up in the car park and seeing the grounds of Thoresby Park, we knew it was the wedding venue for us. The Riding Hall was absolutely stunning on our wedding day, the secret garden was beautiful and we was so lucky to have the vintage fair in the main grounds which went down well with our guests, we got some amazing pictures & video.
Natasha the wedding coordinator was lovely to deal with, nothing was too much trouble. All the staff infact were pleasant. They all worked really hard to give us a day to remember.
All our wedding party keep talking about Thoresby, many plan on returning even though we don't live in that county.
Thank you again to Natasha & the whole team.

Our Dream wedding

Thoresby gave us the wedding of our dreams at the riding hall! From the moment we booked to the end of the day itself, everything was seamless. We used the recommended caterer and suppliers and they created the most incredible day for us. The staff at Thoresby are incredibly helpful and will go above and beyond. The riding hall gave us the perfect space by having both the garden and the courtyard for guests to spread out and mingle and it helped the day to flow well. Natasha (the wedding coordinater) was incredible at answering any of our questions and at ensuring the day ran smoothly! So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and it was convenient that guests could stay at Thoresby hall next door or at a handful of nearby hotels! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, so a huge thank you to the Thoresby team!

Amazing day

We recently had our wedding at Thoresby Park, and it was an incredible experience. The staff, particularly Natasha, were exceptionally accommodating and truly went above and beyond to make our day special. Natasha's flexibility and helpfulness made everything run smoothly, allowing us to focus on enjoying our celebration. The park itself provided a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and reception. I highly recommend Thoresby Park for any couple looking for a beautiful and supportive venue for their wedding!

Amazing, perfect, best day ever

Words can't explain how grateful we are Natasha. She has been nothing short of amazing and we are so grateful for her support. Natasha was helpful every step of the way and nothing was ever too much trouble for her. Lauren was also fantastic as we decided to go for the stonebaked Pizza for the evening and was super helpful with all the different questions we had about food and drinks. We are so happy we went for Thorseby Park, our day was perfect and we would have not changed a thing.

100% picked the correct venue

As soon as we walked into this venue we knew this was where we wanted to celebrate our wedding reception! Can not find one fault from the venue to the staff. Every single member of staff is professional and helpful. Natasha went above and beyond to help us and was there every step of the way to answer any questions. Can't recommend this place enough!

The best day!

We had our day back in August and it couldn't have been more perfect! Natasha, the wedding coordinator there was amazing. Nothing was too much (even my random emails asking things in case I'd forgotten anything!). She ensured that the whole day ran smoothly and we couldn't have asked for more. Such a beautiful venue that allows for endless styling possibilities. Thank you!
