Our day could not have been betterOur day could not have been better
Hi Toni, I want to say a massive thank you for all of your hard work for our wedding on the 9th August. You were amazing. With you organising everything, we were never worried about how the day would turn out. You always know the answers that we needed and you were so completely in control of everything that gave us complete faith in your ability to sort any problem or question that we had! On the day, you delivered spectacularly and I do not believe that our day could have been better. Every single one of our guests has commented to us about how stunning The Orangery is as a wedding venue and I would also like to pass on thanks to Liz, Bryony and Don for all of their work as well.

Our day was perfectOur day was perfect
Hi Orangery team, We just wanted to send a message to say thank you so much for making our day so wonderful last week. We had a great time, and so many people were complimentary about the venue, especially the food. We got a sneak peek of the pictures from our photographer and they look incredible. A lot of that is due to the care you guys take with the grounds, so thank you again! Hope you have a wonderful summer and that everyone else's days are just as perfect as ours (and run smoothly for you!).Hi Orangery team, We just wanted to send a message to say thank you so much for making our day so wonderful last week.

Toni, We just wanted to send a massive thank you to the team at the orangery especially you, for looking after us so well on one of the biggest days of our lives. The team were amazing and made the day so special for us. Every little detail was looked after and no stress or worry crossed our minds at any part of the day!! You guys took care of everything and it made such a huge difference to the running of the day. Even if we delayed everything a little with the brides late arrival. You are kind, patient and extremely calming when it is needed the most! You was always there no matter how big or small the matter in hand was! You didn’t only look after us but all our guests, especially my nan! What you did for her yesterday will stay with me forever! So with all this said and done we are off to pack for our honeymoon! :) huge thank you again . We are on cloud 9 today and can’t see us coming down anytime soon!Toni, We just wanted to send a massive thank you to the team at the orangery especially you, for looking after us so well on one of the biggest days of our lives.

Surpassed expectationsSurpassed expectations
I just wanted to send a quick email to thank everyone who was involved with our wedding on Sunday 23rd June 2019! I wanted to send over a special thanks to Bryony who really made the whole day run smoothly and even when I had very stressed bridesmaids, late parents of the groom and when the music wouldn't work, she kept calm and professional and sorted everything out so quickly! Our entire experience has been nothing but a pleasure and all staff have surpassed expectations! Thank you again from the first time we viewed the Orangery, throughout all of our meetings and especially on the big day, you were all incredible and I cannot thank you enough!I just wanted to send a quick email to thank everyone who was involved with our wedding on Sunday 23rd June 2019!

Can't recommend them enoughCan't recommend them enough
We cannot recommend this venue enough. They went above and beyond and nothing was too much for them to help us with. Lisa was our coordinator and she was absolutely fantastic. The day ran perfectly and smoothly, and I never felt worried or concerned about anything throughout the whole process. You all gave us the day we dreamed of and we cannot thank you enough!

Absolutely amazing!Absolutely amazing!
Absolutely amazing! My husband and I were married here on 1st September 2016. I honestly can't put into words how much of an amazing day we had, every single member of staff made us feel so special and nothing was ever too much trouble from start to finish. The Orangery is the most beautiful venue around and the Staff are incredible. A massive THANK YOU to Lisa who was our lovely wedding coordinator, she was truly wonderful both in the lead up and on our special day, needless to say it went without a hitch all thanks to her and the wonderful team. Thank you so so much :-) We used Azra for our catering, they were just outstanding, so many comments from our guests, lots saying it was the best food they had eaten at any wedding they had been to before! Georgie was fantastic for chair covers,such a lovely lady. Jill (Passion flowers) amazing amazing too - they looked just stunning, Noss was just so much fun as DJ he made us feel really special and Carys was just fantastic as our Harpist, she really took the time with us to get our music just right, perfect. All bars also did a brilliant job and we had the LED dace floor too which really creates a great atmosphere for dancing in the evening, worth every penny! So many of or guests commented on what a stunning day we had and how friendly the team were - Lisa, thank you so much for taking the time to be so lovely to us and our guests, my friend who had just had her baby thought it was so sweet that you took the time to say hello and greeted baby Jessica by name too! - A small thing but so attentive, what great personal service! Also Adam who took over in the evening was fantastic also. Thank you again. All in all we cannot recommend The Orangery enough! From the bottom of our hearts thank you so so much for making our special day incredible. Lots of love Mr and Mrs Falconer :-) xxxxAbsolutely amazing!
