“A Perfect Wedding - exceptional venue and incredible team
My husband and I celebrated our wedding reception at The Orangery on the 3rd of August, and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect setting. This exclusive English country estate was our only choice from the moment we first saw it—around four years ago! The venue itself blends timeless elegance with a warm, relaxed atmosphere, creating a stunning backdrop that we and our guests adored.
From start to finish, the team at The Orangery, particularly Karen and Sara, went above and beyond to make everything seamless. Karen was incredible, even holding dates to ensure we could book the photographer we wanted. We never felt pressured into decisions or payments, and with several meetings and ongoing message threads, the team was always prompt and professional, offering invaluable experience and advice that made us feel supported every step of the way.
Karen and Sara helped guide us through our church ceremony rehearsal as well, offering a wealth of insight. They provided table seating plans, easels, and other essentials that helped take away so much of the stress of planning. They also liaised directly with all our suppliers—even managing a few dramatic ones—to ensure the day ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy every moment leading up to it.
Karen recommended Tom Coe Catering for our wedding breakfast, and our tasting experience with him was fantastic. They arranged the tasting session and wine tasting at The Orangery with great attention to detail, even working with their sommelier to recommend wines that perfectly complemented each course. The food and wine were exceptional - our guests have continued to rave about it!
On the day itself, the team looked after us flawlessly. They worked quietly in the background, keeping an eye on everything, ensuring all our guests were comfortable, and even guiding the MC when we needed to rearrange responsibilities last minute. We rented the cottage from the Friday night, and they kindly gave us early access to both the cottage and The Orangery itself to start setting up the week before. Karen’s assistance even continued the next day, as she helped take down the flowers.
We truly couldn’t have wished for a better venue or team, and we highly recommend The Orangery to anyone considering it as their wedding venue. The countless messages and comments we’ve received about the day reflect just how special it was. Thank you to Karen, Sara, and the entire team for making our dream wedding come to life!”
