An absolutely unforgettable wedding day!

Thorpe Garden is an absolutely divine venue. The gardens and grounds speak for themselves from the moment you arrive - beautifully maintained, with something eye-catching wherever you look.

Throughout the lead-up to our wedding, communication from the team was incredible, with every question or request answered quickly and thoughtfully.

On the day itself, Danni and the team were on site helping with set-up and were an enormous support in taking away so much of the stress of the morning. During the wedding, the entire team were second to none, ensuring every guest was looked after and incredibly well fed with truly fantastic food.

In the evening, Tom continued that same level of excellence, making sure everything ran seamlessly right through to the end of the night.

I genuinely could not recommend Thorpe Garden more highly - the venue, the staff, the food, and the overall experience exceeded every expectation we had and played a huge part in making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable.

April Wedding

We can't thank everyone at Thorpe Garden enough. Our day was made so special by each and every staff member.
The venue is absolutely breathtaking, from the grounds, the food stations to the Yurt, each part of this venue is incredible. This was the first place we viewed and was absolutely blown away.
From the very first point of contact to a check in after the wedding (thanks to Tom!) , it couldn't have been made easier for us. All of the front of house team were so friendly and really did make you feel asthough nothing was too much. On the day, our wedding coordinators Dani/Jack made sure both bride and groom had everything they could possibly want. Their effort for us to have the best day possible really was appreciated and beyond our expectation. All of the waiters/waitresses and bar staff were incredibly friendly and accommodated all of our guests needs all day and night. Then there was the food... absolutely delicious! Hats off to the wonderful chefs, every single part of our dinner was outstanding. Virtually every guest commented on how lovely the food was and how generous the portions were.

We had multiple people state that it was one of the best venues they have ever been to, even a few said they might look into getting married there!

We (bride and groom) would just like to thank everyone again for the most magical day of our lives. It really couldn't have been better and that was made by the wonderful team at Thorpe Garden.

If you are debating this venue... it's a firm yes from us!

Best day ever at Thorpe Garden

Thorpe Gardens is truly the most wonderful wedding venue. We couldn’t have asked for anything more than what the great staff at Thorpe were able to provide.

Firstly, the venue is stunning. The gardens are so well cared for and every little detail shone through.

From the initial walk around, to the planning meeting, and then the big day, the staff were superb. Beth met us with a little drink shortly after walking back down the aisle (which was needed given it was so hot!), gave us slightly extra time for the canapés because I was slightly late to meet the registrar (whoops - sorry again) and then the food. The food was incredible and everyone has said so. We chose the Garden Feast menu and there were plenty of options and everything was delicious! The wine was so tasty and mostly all of it was drunk.

They arranged the cake cutting so well and the staff were so attentive the whole day.

We are so so happy we chose to wed at Thorpe Gardens, the perfect, most dreamy day we’ve ever had!

Sophie & Adam's Wedding

We had the most incredible wedding at Thorpe Garden. The whole venue is absolutely stunning and created the perfect setting for our day.

The food was genuinely unbelievable—so many of our guests are still talking about it!

Everything ran so smoothly, and that’s all down to the amazing staff. They made everything feel easy and relaxed, and nothing was ever too much trouble.

It was honestly the best day of our lives, and we’re so grateful to the whole team for making it so special.

Best day of our lives!

Thorpe Garden, what an absolutely stunning venue! As soon as we viewed it we knew we wanted to get married there and it honestly was one of the best days of our lives. We didn't use much venue decor because it's just so beautiful it doesn't need it. We had SO many guests comment on how amazing the venue was as it's so unique.
The level of service we received from point of enquiry through to after the wedding has been incredible. Emails were replied to quickly, questions answered with no bother and they literally went above and beyond to make sure every detail was covered so that we could enjoy our wedding day with no stress.

Our actual wedding day was out of this world. The set up was completely taken care of and they did such an amazing job. Beth and Leah our coordinators for the day/ evening were SO lovely and nothing ever felt too much bother for them. Everything we had asked to be done on the day was done without hesitation. We didn't need to worry about anything, it was all quietly taken care of which just allowed us to enjoy every second. We were saved a specific board of canapes to ensure that as the bride and groom we got to enjoy them, which was wonderful and just an example of the level of service we received. Even our guests acknowledged how attentive the staff were, picking up on things and offering help before our guests needed to even ask.

Then there is the food..oh my goodness, it was literally INSANE!! SO tasty and SO much of it. No guest was left hungry that's for sure! We honestly cannot thank Thorpe Garden enough for our absolute dream wedding! We are still on cloud 9 now and will be for a long time to come!!

From the moment we met the guys at Thorpe for the initial meeting through to the day of our wedding the team were nothing short of amazing. So helpful with our many requests!

The venue is absolutely stunning and was commented on by so many of our guests alongside the amazing food. We are gutted it’s all over but will be returning for the feast nights this year!

The most amazing wedding venue

My husband and I cannot thank Thorpe Garden enough. From our initial visit, through our planning meeting to the actual day we were so very well looked after. Our guests had a wonderful time and cannot praise the venue enough, the food, setting and fire pits were a smash hit!

Thorpe Garden felt like 'our' venue and we were made so comfortable. Special thanks to Daniella and Beth - your time, patience and care with me and the guests on the day made it so very special.

We already have friends who have booked this lovely unique venue and we can't wait to return.

Beautiful venue, perfect choice

We found Thorpe Gardens whilst trying to find a venue that was equidistant between our core family groups (Litchfield and Leicester). We had heard about the quality of the food and liked the idea of a yurt over a tipi. Our first viewing was great, super helpful team and the chefs cooking some amazing smelling food for the wedding that day. Booking and planning was super easy and the team were always on hand to help with anything we needed. The food was insane, I'd recommended the feast if you're big eaters. We were concerned about the amount of waste created, even the staff said most people don't finish it all. The team helped us set up a token system for a free bar and took care of everything.

The only issues we had were around the communication between the businesses onsite. We booked Constantine House for our guests and the Glam Room to get ready in. Each business told us they were separate and it made it harder to understand what would happen when etc.

Other than that, the team were amazing and we loved every minute of it.

The Perfect Day!

We got married recently at Thorpe Garden and it was an absolute dream! Stunning venue and the staff were so attentive and helpful, even helping me trying to clean my wedding dress when I got grass on it! The day was seamless and the food was delicious, all our guests agreed. The only negative is we only get to do it the once! Thank you to everyone for making our day so perfect and worry free!

Mollie and Nath - Thorpe Garden

We had our wedding at Thorpe Garden on Thursday 25th September, and it was everything we dreamed of and more! From start to finish, the team were warm and professional - nothing was ever too much trouble. The venue itself is stunning, especially the beautiful walled garden - so many of our friends and family commented on how unique the setting was. The food was also fantastic, and the day ran so smoothly thanks to the amazing staff who worked so hard behind the scenes. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding! Thorpe Garden will now always hold a special place in our hearts, and we’d recommend it to anyone looking for a venue.

Couldn’t have asked for more

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Thorpe Garden as our wedding venue. From the initial enquiry through to post wedding, the team were so helpful, friendly and professional, we couldn’t have asked for anything more from the team on the day. The food was unbelievably good. The venue itself is stunning with so many options of how to use it.

Incredible day

I had my wedding at Thorpe Garden last month and it was absolutely incredible. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Our guests have still not stopped talking about how incredible the venue and the food was. On the day as the bride and groom we were treated so well and everything went absolutely perfectly.

We booked our wedding close to 2 years in advance and it was so easy to book, pay and contact the team over the 2 years. The directory Thorpe Garden provided was extremely helpful and mainly where we got our suppliers from.

Couldn't have asked for better, it was worth every penny!

Most magical day!

This was the first and only wedding that we viewed and we knew straight away that it was the one. The gardens are beautiful and we were lucky enough to get married when the wisteria's were in full bloom. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and our guests raved about the food and drink. Would highly recommend!
