- BBen Roberts27/03/2026Leigh Court – A Wedding Photographer’s PerspectiveLeigh Court – A Wedding Photographer’s PerspectiveLeigh Court is one of those venues that quietly ticks every box — elegant, welcoming, and incredibly well run. From a photographer’s point of view, it’s a dream to work at. The grand interiors, sweeping staircase and beautiful grounds give you a huge variety of backdrops, whatever the weather decides to do (because… Britain). It has that perfect mix of classic architecture and relaxed atmosphere, which always helps couples feel comfortable and enjoy their day. What really sets Leigh Court apart though is the team. The staff are consistently attentive, friendly and genuinely invested in making the day run smoothly. Everything feels calm, organised and effortless — which makes a massive difference not just for the couple, but for everyone involved. And then there’s the food. The catering team, Epic Catering, are fantastic. The quality, presentation and service are always spot on, and they manage to deliver restaurant-level food at scale without missing a beat — no small feat at a wedding. All in all, Leigh Court is a brilliant choice for couples looking for a venue with a team that truly knows what they’re doing. It’s always a pleasure to return.Leigh Court is one of those venues that quietly ticks every box — elegant, welcoming, and incredibly well run.

- AAlexander & Daniel12/12/2025The Best Day!The Best Day!While the venue speaks for itself in being grand but in a tasteful and modest way - a very difficult combination to achieve by the way - it, as with any venue, cannot make the wedding alone. A wedding can either be a disaster or a roaring success & the biggest factor that seems to contribute to this is the advice, support, experience & care from the venue's staff. We feel incredibly lucky to have found in Leigh Court, its staff & crucially Claire the best of these attributes.

We fell in love with Leigh Court as soon as we saw it. The grand architecture is stunning with the natural surroundings. Each room has a unique style and there are so many original features. The ceremony room with the suspended staircase, beautiful tiled floor, high ceiling and even a gold church organ was our favourite space. The fact we could get legally married there was just perfect!
