We couldn't have been happier

We couldn't have been happier to have tied the knot at Ashton Lodge and our wedding day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Our guests all remarked on how beautiful the venue is and how good the food is (especially the evening pizzas!). Thank you particularly to Mia who helped us with all our planning and Emma who was the perfect wedding coordinator on the day. Her attention to detail was unmatched and we didn't want for anything on the day; it was all so seamless. Thank you so much

faultless from start to finish

Ashton Lodge and the team have been faultless from start to finish. They have made everything so incredibly smooth and stress free. All staff went above and beyond to make sure our day ran perfectly. Mia was so well organised and helpful throughout the whole process. The venue itself was so beautiful. Our guests commented on how good the food was and we can’t wait to go back for a meal in the future!

Nothing was too much trouble

We had our wedding at Ashton in October 2024. After visiting several venues within Warwickshire we immediately fell in love with Ashton Lodge. The venue is stunning, practical for all weathers and the staff were nothing short of exceptional throughout the build up and on the day. The food and drink were amazing and our wedding planner Mia coordinated our day effortlessly. Nothing was too much trouble and she was on hand to give great advice at every stage of the process.

An amazing wedding day

Ashton Lodge Country House was the venue that we were immediately drawn to when looking for our perfect wedding venue. Despite viewing the first time on the coldest, wettest and windiest of days we walked into a space that straight away drew us in. The beautiful house and the surroundings, the lovely decorated ceremony room, the airy and sparkling marquee reception, the spacious bedrooms, we knew straight away it was “us”. The team who we worked with were the most friendly, helpful and informative and every visit we made through from the initial visit to the actual day we felt valued as a couple. We had a lovely visit for the taster session, being guests in the wedding marquee we felt reassured that our decision was the right one, and the food was just delicious. We were also lucky enough to have a photo pre shoot at Ashton Lodge before our wedding day, that was so helpful but also every time we visited our attachment kept growing to this beautiful place. So , to the wedding day. What can we say, it lived completely up to our expectations, the day ran so smoothly, we felt special from start to finish and the staff were so attentive to our needs. All of our guests complimented the venue and how lovely the grounds were, they also agreed the food was great. We all had just the best time. It was a day you never want to end, and we are still reliving every moment. I know that given the chance we will be back there someday soon, remembering how magical our day was, and reliving our experience with the lovely team of staff.

Great day but watch out!

We had the best day at Ashton Lodge. The staff on the ground work tirelessly to ensure that everything runs perfectly (special shout-out to Emma here). The food was good, prices are reasonable - as far as weddings go - & there are certain little touches that really make your day. Thank you all those staff - you know who you are! The only reason this review isn't 5 star is due to the way you're treated after the wedding. We've waited almost 6 weeks for our security deposit to be refunded but due to some damage to a radiator, this has yet to be returned and my e-mails are now being ignored. I have no issues paying for any damage caused, however the venue have yet to send proof of cost for repairs. Instead, I got a hypothetical quote from a manager based on a previous repair which, ironically, was the exact same amount as our security deposit... Given the circumstances and what has happened, I thought Ashton Lodge may have had the decency to pay back our security deposit as a gesture of good will considering we spent £10k+ at their venue; clearly not! I'm sure the venue will respond to this review with a wonderfully crafted response; outlining how I'm absolutely in the wrong so I look forward to that but I needed to include this information as a word of warning to those looking to get married at Ashton Lodge. Once you've spent your money, you're made to feel like just another customer unfortunately - A bitter end to a really special day.

Perfect day

We got Married here on 23rd July 2024 We had the most amazing day and memories that we will cherish forever. Ashton Lodge Country House is a beautiful venue the scenery is beautiful. The staff here are so welcoming and accommodating. Rebecca who we met when we first looked around last year is the most genuine person we have ever met so down to earth we had mia in our wedding meetings she is so lovely. We had Rebecca on our wedding day and she was amazing nothing we ever asked was too much trouble for her. She was there right from when I got there to get ready to end the night. She got my evening shoes and put them on for me as my shoes was hurting very much. She made sure our desserts was left so we could eat them as we went and took couple photos. It was a pleasure to have Rebecca with us on our special day and we are going to miss her. We can't wait to come back to ALCH in the future. All of our guests complemented how stunning the venue is and how amazing the food was. The food was exceptional and beautifully layed out. Thank you so much. Adele & Jason Naylor

The Most Perfect Wedding Day

Wow I honestly don’t know where to start! From the moment we first ever stepped foot into Ashton Lodge we knew this was the place we wanted to get married The most stunning venue from the very moment you drive up it’s winding driveway The large garden surrounded by countryside makes you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere however its location is really moments away from civilisation and so easy to find. So many beautiful spots throughout the grounds for photos (we are still awaiting for our professional photos to come back but are so excited to see them) The country house oozes in class with a modern twist. The decor is beautiful and we personally didn’t feel the need to really add much to it other than some personal touches. We used Ashton Lodges own centre pieces for the tables which were beautiful. We personally wanted a venue that had everything we needed in one place and Ashton Lodge certainly ticked all those boxes; The dressing room was calming and a perfect space for myself and my bridal party to relax and enjoy getting ready on the morning together. I would definitely recommend the breakfast platter, the fresh pastries and fruit was a lovely touch. It’s stunning ceremony room is so bright and fresh The lounge bar area is cozy but ample size The marquee is airy and spacious but still allows for a more intimate feel All the bedrooms are spacious each with their own bathroom making guests stay very comfortable The food was just out of this world, all our guests raved about how fresh, delicious and generous the portions were! And finally the staff… Karen looked after us on the final planning of our wedding and also on our big day and she went above and beyond to ensure that everything went the way we had wanted, being attentive to us as bride and groom ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the day. All the waiting staff and bar staff were extremely welcoming and friendly throughout the day and night. Breakfast the next morning was also delicious and all of our decor etc was tidily packed and ready for us to take away. We honestly would recommend Ashton Lodge to absolutely anyone looking for a perfect wedding venue. We had the most relaxed and memorable day that us and our guests just can’t stop talking about! Thank you so very much to Karen and all the staff at Ashton Lodge

We fell in love with it

Ashton Lodge was the first wedding venue we viewed, and we fell in love with it (and it was a dark, rainy day!). The staff were very helpful from start to finish. The food was lovely - lots of our guests commented on how nice the food was. We were lucky to be blessed with sunshine on our wedding day, which meant we could make full use of the beautiful grounds at Ashton Lodge. However, we knew that if it did rain, Ashton Lodge had the facilities to cater for everybody inside too...

The most perfect day ever!

100% recommend Ashton Lodge! We had our wedding here on 6.8.23 and it was the most perfect day ever! The venue was terrific, everything was thought out and attention to detail was excellent. The staff were phenomenal and the reason everything went smoothly. Also, the food tasted fantastic and our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue, food and staff. We wouldn't change a thing and would definitely use the venue again :D

Describe the best wedding that happened at Ashton Lodge Country House?

After so many postponements due to Covid-19, our favourite weddings are the ones that have had to wait patiently for their wedding day. A few have had to wait years from their original date and when they come around people are ready to celebrate.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Work out an initial budget (that is flexible) and determine the areas of your wedding that are most important to you, for example food and entertainment as these will likely be higher cost items. Remember that you are planning YOUR wedding and as much as you want your guests to have a fantastic day, be sure to include some special moments in the planning for yourselves!

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

We loved weddings so this is really hard to narrow down! We do love a memory wall of the couple, as we feel that we spend so much time looking after you, on the lead-up to your wedding, it is nice to see where it all began and to visually see their relationship blossom, in picture form!
