A dream Cotswolds wedding

We recently celebrated our wedding at the Baytree Hotel and it was a magical experience. As my hometown, Burford has always been a very special place and I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else. The Baytree made all of my dreams a reality. The team ensured from the very start of our planning that every detail was catered for. The venue is absolutely stunning and all the staff were incredibly attentive, ensuring our day ran smoothly from start to finish. A special thank you to Laura and Becky for making our wedding day truly the best day of our lives!

From the moment we started planning to the day of our wedding, the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their dedication and attention to detail were truly remarkable, making our special day perfect in every way. A special shout out to both Laura & Becky who handle weddings and events, we couldn't have asked for more helpful and caring wedding planners, they really made planning our wedding seem like a walk in the park.

Best day ever!

We booked our wedding at the Bay Tree as the vibe we wanted was a big party in a country pub, and that's exactly what the venue delivered! It's a beautiful place in a stunning location with accommodation on-site and nearby which made everything really easy for our guests. Our ceremony was at the Catholic Church at the top of the hill which was only a 5 minute walk away so it was ideal. Our day couldn't have gone smoother, and that's all down to the fantastic team at the Bay Tree who were so on top of everything. Particular thanks to Becky who knew what we needed before we even had to ask. She was so reassuring and allowed us to enjoy our day without any worries. We loved every second of our day and wish we could do it all over again!

Wedding Ceremony and Celebration

We had the most perfect wedding celebration at The Bay Tree. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole team were so welcoming, warm and considerate. It is such a beautiful intimate venue room the gardens to Bedrooms and rooms to host a wedding. It was perfect for us. A special thanks to Laura who coordinated our wedding from the ceremony to the celebration meal. We truly couldn’t have asked for a more professional, warm, friendly person who made our day so special. We had every confidence in Laura right from the start. She understood exactly what we wanted to make our day so memorable and thought of every detail. Laura is a very special person. Thank you to everyone at The Bay Tree.

Gorgeous intimate venue!

We hosted our wedding at The Bay Tree Hotel in February - we had exclusive use and had 40 guests. Everything related to the venue was just fantastic - the spaces are just gorgeous and it was exactly what we wanted a weekend where all our guests could stay and we could celebrate. The venue is well priced for the area and the payment process is smooth giving you plenty of time to space out payments. Laura was absolutely amazing in the run up and made sure she knew all the details we wanted. The run up and the day ran so smoothly thanks to her and the Bay Tree team - all of who were so wonderful and kind on our wedding day and any time we encountered them beforehand. The food, the drinks, everything was fantastic and as we have seen guests over the past 6 weeks everyone has been glowing about the Bay Tree - from the venue, the food, the staff - we all loved it and it will always be a very special place to us. Thank you Laura and the whole Bay Tree team!

Exceptional from start to finish

We cannot overstate just how brilliant the Bay Tree Hotel was as a wedding venue. From start to finish, Laura, Becky and the whole team were a complete joy to work alongside making the process totally stress free, extremely fun and really really special. They made us genuinely feel like we were the only couple they were working with and the most important wedding in the world! In the run up, Laura replied to any of my emails or questions almost within the same working day and was on top of the entire process for us. The day was exactly as we had hoped, our parents were completely relaxed and so impressed by the staff. My VERY particular Grandfather who used to work in Hotel management himself told me 'everything was perfect'. Laura and Becky especially were incredible. So much so that my friends were all talking about how the staff were the best and such great value. We had a 60 person winter wedding and the stunning oak beams, stone flooring and open fires made it feel absolutely magical for a Cotswolds wedding. It was an intimate venue and honestly felt like it was our own home for the 24 hours we were present. Our golden retriever padded around without her lead on and sat under the table for dinner as if she was at home with us. Our meal was just gorgeous, the food was stunning and copious. We love generous portions! Perfect wine and the speed of the service was excellent. Everyone served at the same time and the courses running beautifully to schedule. We had a blast dancing in the conservatory to our band and then we had asked the Bay Tree if we could do After Party Karaoke in the bar which was a total highlight. Everyone was singing and dancing until late! The bar staff were chanting 'One more song' by the end. We want to thank the Bay Tree Team for creating completely magic day for us. We will never forget it and know how much work, experience and professionalism goes in to making weddings work this well.
