A massive thankyou for everything you did to make mine and Ben’s wedding such a perfect day. A lot of people say that weddings are stressful, but I really never experienced that and that has to be put down to everything running so smoothly. Not only did all our guests comment on how beautiful Orchardleigh is, but also how brilliant all of the staff were. I really could not imagine a more perfect day!

We got married at Orchardleigh in the summer. What an amazing place for our 3 day wedding. We started at the castle on the day before, and we all gathered for a bbq in the garden. Such a lovely way to start off the weekend. This place is full of character with everything you need including a hot tub! The next day we had our wedding in the main house. The organisation was fantastic and the food was lovely. We stayed in the bonita suite with lovely views of the whole estate. The staff were so helpful and even helped with my dress. The evening didn’t stop at 12, it felt like our own house for the day. We had fireworks and dancing till the early hours. The last day we stayed at the boat house, a lovely way to start our married life. Waking up to swans, ducks and all the wildlife on the lake. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Thanks you Orchardleigh

My daughter has just got married at Orchardleigh on Easter Sunday. It was a perfect day from start to finish. We had the 3 day package and it was well organised and timed to perfection. Half of our guests had flown in from Canada and the historical setting in the beautiful grounds with a room for the night was just the perfect English experience for them all. They were thrilled! Annamarie was our wedding coordinator and was absolutely on the ball from start to finish. She answered all our many emails and phone calls on the run up to the day, nothing was a problem. On the wedding day Annamarie was on hand making sure everything was in order and going to plan, even taking the veil away and steaming it for us. Everyone agreed this was a beautiful wedding even the sun came out!

There is a church and a selection of cocktail and reception venues on the estate; allowing you to literally design your own wedding.

We fell in love with Orchardleigh at first sight, and our wedding there was perfect. Carl and his team made sure the day went without a hitch. The organisation on the day went like clockwork and the Wedding Breakfast food was simply delicious. We couldn’t have asked for a more stunning backdrop... both the house and the grounds look as stunning in our wedding photos as they did on the day.

We're so glad we chose Orchardleigh House for our wedding on 16th March - everything was perfect. The day was even dry enough to have an outside ceremony, which was beautiful. We stayed in the castle the night before the wedding and the boat house afterwards, and thoroughly enjoyed all our time on the estate. Everyone we spoke to on the team was so friendly and helpful. Karl and Nicola went above and beyond to answer our questions and reassure a very anxious bride that everything was going to plan, even with the coronavirus starting to have an impact on things by that point. We wholeheartedly recommend them to all engaged couples looking for the perfect venue.

What a beautiful venue. It really is the perfect wedding venue. The rooms are stunning. The staff are amazing. The best wedding I think we have ever been to!
Carol Gunn
We had such a magical day, everything was perfect! Both Heather and Chris are lovely people and helped ensure the day ran just as we wanted. Heather bought some champagne up for me and my bridal party in the morning and kept checking in on us both though out the day. Always so quick to respond and helpful in the run up. We love them! The venue itself is gorgeous, and the stay the night before and after make it! We will forever be grateful to them and their staff for making our dreams come true.
