Look no further for your wedding venue!! This venue is absolutely beautiful and so well thought out as a wedding venue. The day ran so smoothly and the staff were so friendly. The service for food and drinks was so quick and no one was ever stood waiting long for a drink and we had over 100 guests. The food was absolutely amazing and commented on by guests. The courtyard is absolutely stunning and was spoken about by all guests. The venue made our day so perfect. I am so grateful for everything the staff did for us. I cannot recommend this venue enough.Look no further for your wedding venue!! This venue is absolutely beautiful and so well thought out as a wedding venue.

Best weekend ever!Best weekend ever!
We had the most amazing weekend at Cottesmore two weeks ago. In the days, weeks and months leading up to the wedding, the communication from Julie and Jackie in the events team, Lorraine and Kerry in the accommodation team, and Alyssa and Luke in Food & Beverage was exemplary. They were always on hand to help with any requests and responded positively and promptly. The venue is stunning: modern, clean, spacious and adaptable to your needs. Both the indoor and outdoor ceremony options are beautiful, although we ultimately opted for the outdoor setting. The food was exactly as we remembered from the tasting, both in flavour and presentation, and the tasting itself was a delight. The canapés were fantastic, and the drink options were popular too! One of the venue's standout features is the range of on-site accommodation available. In addition to the hotel rooms available on the Saturday night (and on the Friday night if they are not required for another wedding), there are also seven self-catered lodges that can be booked for the entire weekend. Having around 75 of our guests staying on site transformed the wedding into a wonderful weekend-long celebration. We would recommend Cottesmore to anyone who will listen. We would also highly recommend our suppliers, particularly Forget Me Nots Décor and Dominic Smith Photography, whose knowledge of the venue and attention to detail helped make our day truly unforgettable.We had the most amazing weekend at Cottesmore two weeks ago.

The best day of our lives The best day of our lives
We honestly couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue than Cottesmore for our wedding. From the moment we booked, the team made us feel completely looked after. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail meant we could relax and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was in safe hands. A special thank you to Jackie and Julie, who were always so quick to respond to any questions or queries we had throughout the planning process. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their reassurance, efficiency, and friendly approach made everything so much easier. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, especially the stunning courtyard and wonderful golf course, which created the most perfect setting for our photographs and for our guests to enjoy throughout the day. It truly has such a special atmosphere. The food deserves a special mention. So many of our guests commented that it was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. We were also incredibly impressed by how accommodating the team were with dietary requirements. Some of our guests had quite complex dietary restrictions, and every meal was prepared with such care and attention, ensuring everyone felt included and could enjoy the day without worry. One of the things we loved most was that so many of our family and friends were able to stay overnight. The hotel rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and made the whole celebration feel even more special. Waking up the following morning and enjoying a lovely breakfast together was the perfect way to round off such an unforgettable weekend. Thank you to everyone at Cottesmore for making our wedding day everything we had hoped for and more. Your hard work, care, and dedication didn’t go unnoticed, and we’ll always be grateful for the incredible memories you helped us create. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cottesmore to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with outstanding staff, exceptional food, and a truly unforgettable experience.

Our wedding Our wedding
We first viewed Cottesmore in January 2024 and instantly fell in love with how modern and picturesque the venue was. We went back for a second viewing and honestly we couldn’t stop talking to all our family and friends about the Cottesmore. So when we went back we booked our date, Saturday 23rd May 2026. The whole process was lovely and Jackie explained our next steps. We heard frequently from Jackie via email and the whole communication from January 2024 to May 2026 was incredible. We got invited for menu tasting and when I tell you the food was incredible it was INCREDIBLE! Since the wedding we have had guests say to us how they still can’t get over the beef! Our final meeting was simple and Jackie went over the final steps and gave us our final invoice. The wedding day was absolutely incredible! The staff were so lovely and we wish we could do it all over again! The whole day ran smoothly and I couldn’t thank the staff and Jackie enough for making everything so perfect! Our guests have said it’s the best wedding they have ever been to and they all raved about how gorgeous and modern everything was! We highly recommend getting married at The Cottesmore!

The most stunning wedding venue!❤️The most stunning wedding venue!❤️
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue. From the moment we first viewed it right through to our wedding day, the team went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly and ensure we had the most amazing experience. Special thank you to Jackie and Julie for all the help and support leading up to the wedding and on the big day itself, we couldn’t have done it without you both! 🥰 The venue is absolutely beautiful and the courtyard sold it to us the moment we saw it, we could just vision all of our friends and family chatting and having a nice time. Every detail was taken care of and the staff were professional, friendly, and always happy to help with any questions or requests we had. Unfortunately, some of the spa facilities were not working on the weekend of our wedding which some of our guests were disappointed about. The communication was always quick and our questions were answered throughout the whole experience. The menu tasting was incredible, we were stuck for a few days with what to choose because everything tasted amazing! The wedding breakfast itself was absolutely amazing and we even had guests complimenting the chefs personally! Thank you to the kitchen staff!🥰 Kerry helped us with organising all of the rooms for the night before and the night of the wedding. She was really helpful which made the wedding planning process a lot smoother! We decided to have the getting ready room for the morning of our wedding which I highly recommend as it’s a lovely area to get ready with all your girls while being closed off from the groom and the rest of your guests. We would recommend a toilet in this room though as you need to go back to one of the hotel rooms which the girls helped me to hide so I wouldn’t see my groom before walking down the aisle. On our wedding day, everything was organised perfectly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every second with our family and friends. A lot of our guests complimented how stunning the venue was and how wonderful the staff were. We decided to get married outside as the dedicated area was absolutely stunning! The staff set up this outdoor area perfectly and we had the wedding we both dreamed about. Thank you to Jackie, Julie, Alyssa, Kerry, and all the staff at Cottesmore for helping create memories that we will cherish forever.

Incredible wedding experienceIncredible wedding experience
Wow - we couldn't of asked for more from Cottesmore! We got married in April 2026, and the staff were absolutely incredible from start to finish. The food was delicious and all the drinks were great. The staff were attentive, cheerful and couldn't do enough for us. They also paid attention to the little things, like making sure me and my husband got some canapes and drinks of our choice on the day. We loved how the room expanded to meet our needs throughout the day too.Wow - we couldn't of asked for more from Cottesmore!

FAQs

Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?

It's impossible to choose just one, as every wedding is unique, but one that stands out was a beautiful summer celebration where every detail came together perfectly.

The ceremony took place outdoors in the sunshine, surrounded by family and friends, followed by drinks in our beautiful courtyard. The couple had added so many personal touches, from handwritten vows to surprise entertainment in the evening, which created a wonderful atmosphere throughout the day.

What made it truly special wasn't the styling or the weather, but the genuine joy in the room. Seeing guests laughing, dancing, and making memories together until the very end is exactly what makes weddings at our venue so memorable.

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

Our No.1 wedding planning tip is to focus on how you want your day to feel, not just how it will look.

Trends come and go, but the memories you create with your favourite people will last a lifetime. Make decisions that reflect you as a couple, and don't be afraid to prioritise the moments that matter most to you.

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

One of our favourite personal touches was a couple who wrote each other letters to read on the morning of their wedding.

It was such a simple gesture, but incredibly meaningful and emotional. The letters captured their journey together and became a cherished keepsake long after the day was over.

As animal lovers, we also love to see cherished family pets as ring bearers!

Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.

Fairytale • Romantic • Rustic• Magical • Fun 💞

Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?

Our favourite photo spot is down by the lake, where couples can take a golf buggy ride through the grounds to reach it.

The peaceful reflective waters, beautiful natural surroundings, create a truly romantic setting for photographs. It's always a special moment for couples, and the images captured there are simply stunning." 📸✨💕

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?

We've welcomed a few familiar faces over the years, but we're firm believers that every couple should be the stars of the show on their wedding day! ⭐

What’s your favourite canapé?

Our favourite canapé has to be a mini Yorkshire pudding, roast beef, horseradish. It's a classic that never goes out of style and is always one of the first trays to come back empty! ✨😋

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Our favourite midnight treat has to be wedding cake!

After a busy day of celebrating, there's something special about guests returning for another slice while sharing memories from the day. It's a sweet way to keep the party going and make sure none of that beautiful cake goes to waste. 🎂✨

What is your venue's most unique feature?

Our outdoor courtyard is one of the most unique features of our venue.

Complete with a beautiful water feature at its heart, it provides the perfect setting for guests to unwind, mingle, and enjoy the celebrations. Whether it's drinks in the sunshine or an evening gathering under the stars, the courtyard creates a wonderful atmosphere and is a favourite spot for both couples and their guests. 🌿⛲✨

What part of your business are you most proud of?

What we're most proud of is our team.

From the very first enquiry through to the big day itself, we genuinely care about creating a personal and memorable experience for every couple. Seeing months of planning come together and watching our couples celebrate with their family and friends is incredibly rewarding. ✨💍
