Magical....Magical....
Our wedding at The Oakley Court was magical, it was the best day ever! It is such a stunning venue with beautiful grounds... We could not have wished for more perfect location. As we live nearby, it has since become one of our favourite places, we celebrated our anniversary there too. And all our American friends think we got married in a castle. 🙂Would highly recommend the venue and the team - thank you for making our day so beautiful. (It was our 11-year anniversary from the day we met but we already plan to spend our first wedding anniversary there as well). ❤️ Feel free to use our pic if you need one 😍 Evie Our wedding at The Oakley Court was magical, it was the best day ever!

Hi Nikki I just want to thank you and your team so much for last weekend. The day was "magical". Having had her dream wedding in South Africa cancelled, last weekend was just perfect. We loved the intimacy of the day. Everyone commented what a fantastic day it was and the food was amazing. Once again, thank you so much.

Dear Niki, Thank you very much for your email. We enjoyed working with you too! We appreciate that organizing Oakley Court’s first corona virus wedding was never going to be easy, what with the changing guidelines and having to cope with a host of new issues. However, you dealt marvelously with everything in the run-up. On the day itself, we were extremely well looked after so thank you, too, to all the team that helped. We had no concerns about our elderly and vulnerable guests and they certainly all felt safe. All said they enjoyed the intimacy of the event. If you would lie to share any of the above, perhaps with those deciding whether to choose Oakley Court for a COVID-19 wedding, please feel free. We wish you well for the future and hope to see you again when we stay at Oakley Court on our first anniversary ...

Hi Francesca, Thank you for your lovely email. We had such a wonderful day, I'm not sure it could have gone any better. All of our guests had an amazing time and were in awe of the building. The guests with kids really appreciated the extra touches like the milk and cookies. Please pass on our gratitude to Kevin and the rest of the team. All the staff were so friendly and helpful throughout the whole weekend. We felt so welcome and at ease over the few days. Thanks to you for all your help in planning over the last 18 months. It was all rather stress free thanks to your help. We've left a review on the hotel's Facebook page, if you want us to leave any reviews anywhere else please let us know, we would be happy to do so. We are already planning our next stay at the hotel, so our paths may cross again. Thanks again Francesca. Orla and JoshHi Francesca, Thank you for your lovely email.
