• 'Dream wedding'

  We had our dream wedding at Orchardleigh this year in April and it was incredible! We chose it for the beautiful grounds, but the food was delicious, the staff were so attentive and kind, and the accomodation with everyone being able to stay on site was great.
  Our family and friends were able to book for the evening before as well so we booked out the Peacock restaurant on site for a welcome dinner, which really elongated the event and made it even more special. Their supplier list meant we could add on little details to make it even more memorable, like fireworks, making the event so magical.
  Neither of us initially knew what sort of Wedding we wanted, but Orchardleigh created our dream one. We would highly recommend this venue!
  
  

• 'I would absolutely recommend this venue'

  We got married here on Friday the 3rd of nov. On the run up to the wedding any time we had a question Annamarie had the answer and the response as soon as possible which made the planning process very easy.
  From arriving the day before to decorate the venue to leaving the morning after it ran so smoothly there was not a second of this time where we worried about anything. The staff on the day were amazing and kept everything going as it should have done.
  The added bonus of the boat house for the following day was a lovely way to wind down and relax after a busy few days.
  I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone the stunning views across the estate are absolutely beautiful. The house itself and the castle hold a lot of charm and character.
  

• 'Thank you Orchardleigh Estates'

  We have just had our daughters wedding, at Orchardleigh Esate and it was the perfect venue.The staff were outstanding, particularly Rachel the wedding planner, who pulled it all together to make the day relaxed and enjoyable.
  We would unhesitatingly recommend this venue for a wedding, weekend party or any special occasion.
  

• 'It was the perfect day'

  We had our wedding at Orchardleigh House back in February 2024 and it was the perfect day! Annamarie, our wedding coordinator, was so lovely, couldn’t do enough for us, and was incredibly flexible and patient (with even my most outlandish requests). On the day, Annamarie blended in like a member of our family, but also made sure that everything ran like clockwork. The entire staff were so kind and professional, particularly the late night bar staff (making all sorts of shots for us with energy and enthusiasm until 2am!). When I came down the stairs from the bridal suite to leave for church, all of the staff were lined up to see me off, and it was beautifully emotional. The food service was prompt and delicious and we had a free bar, which was reasonably priced and went down so well with our guests. There was loads of food and drink! When we had a few minor weather related issues, the staff were very quick to fix them, and seemed to genuinely care than all our guests were happy and having a wonderful time. We are so glad we chose Orchardleigh. There is a reason that lots of people who attend weddings here go on to book their own wedding here!

• 'It was amazing'

  Our son got married here in September and it was amazing. We were lucky enough to have good weather and the stunning terrace overlooking the lake and field was a wonderful backdrop to their outside ceremony.
  The food was delicious and we had many compliments about the beef wellington and sticky toffee pudding.
  All the staff were efficient and friendly and our wedding co ordinator was so lovely - nothing too much trouble .
  We partied on until 2.30 and still the staff had smiles on their faces.
  So thank you to all at Orchardleigh - you all made our son and daughter in laws wedding a day we all as a family will treasure.
  

• 'I wouldn’t change a thing'

  From the moment I found this wedding venue I always dreamed of marrying my husband here. The wedding venue, Chris, Heather and their team surpassed all our expectations. Their care, professionalism and expertise in managing our day went beyond perfection, and into the realms of magic, it was like we were in a dream that we never wanted to wake from. I wish we could do the day over again and I wouldn’t change a thing.
  Ours was a wedding of dreams. Thank you so much. Helen and Tom
  

• 'Literally couldn’t have been more perfect'

  I don’t even know where to start with how incredible our wedding was at Orchardleigh house. What a venue. Literally couldn’t have been more perfect. We were very lucky to have an outdoor ceremony with the amazing views.
  Annamarie was an absolutely superb coordinator. So helpful in the run up to the wedding nothing was too much trouble. And she helped make everything go smoothly on the day.
  Also a huge shout out to the supervisor Kim who was also incredible.
  We are so so happy we got to have our special day here. The 3 day package just makes it that extra special. Being able to have so many guests stay at the venue was a definite selling point for us. And the castle and boathouse were just out of this world. I still feel like it was all a dream. Thanks to all at Orchardleigh for being amazing we are so grateful.
  

• ‘It’s like Bridgerton!’

  If you’re looking for the dream wedding venue, look no further.
  We will be forever grateful to Annamarie our coordinator, Chris and everyone at Orchardleigh for ensuring that our wedding was everything we dreamed of, and more.
  From the initial itinerary meetings, to answering questions throughout the planning process and then on our big day, nothing was too much to ask, and the team really ensured that the whole day was smooth running and exactly as we wanted it to be.
  The drive up to Orchardleigh, the house and the gardens are like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Our guests even mentioned on the day just how spectacular it was ‘It’s like Bridgerton!’ The 3 day package was absolutely incredible and really helped us to make the most of celebrating our wedding with our family and friends. Orchardleigh’s team go above and beyond and there really is no more beautiful setting to get married than here. There was no stress in the planning process and everything went perfectly to plan on the day, and that’s all thanks to the wonderful people behind the scenes. Thank you, our wedding day was truely the most incredible day of our lives.
