Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?

At Orchard View, every wedding is unique and special, but one truly memorable celebration stands out as a testament to the magic our venue can create.

The couple, deeply inspired by nature and romance, hosted a midsummer wedding that took full advantage of our breathtaking outdoor spaces. Their ceremony took place on the island beneath the Gazebo, surrounded by the tranquil lake and framed by lush greenery and colorful flowers. The soft melody of a string quartet floated through the air as the bride walked across the bridge to meet her groom.

For the reception, the couple chose The Grandview, transforming it into an enchanting wonderland. The room glowed with the light of crystal chandeliers and hundreds of candles. Tables were adorned with greenery, wildflowers, and touches of gold, perfectly complementing the venue's natural elegance.

The culinary experience was unforgettable, featuring a customized menu designed with our executive chef. From garden-fresh appetizers to a gourmet three-course meal and a decadent dessert bar, every bite was a celebration of flavor.

Guests danced the night away under the stars, enjoying a live band and a spectacular fireworks display over the lake—a surprise from the groom to his bride. As the evening ended, the couple exited through a tunnel of sparklers, surrounded by their loved ones, creating a magical photo opportunity.

This wedding captured the essence of what makes Orchard View extraordinary: personal touches, impeccable planning, and a setting that turns dreams into lifelong memories

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of the most touching personal touches we’ve seen at a wedding at Orchard View was a "memory table" dedicated to loved ones who had passed away. The couple created a beautiful display with framed photographs, handwritten notes, and a candle lit in their honor. It was a heartfelt way to include family members who couldn’t be there physically but were still very much a part of the day.

Another favorite was a couple who wrote personalized letters to each guest, placed at their seat as part of the table settings. The notes expressed gratitude and shared a personal memory or connection with each individual. It created an atmosphere of warmth and love, making every guest feel deeply valued and appreciated.

These meaningful gestures remind everyone of what the day is truly about: love, connection, and celebrating relationships that make life special.
