The Orangery is set within a three acre walled garden, and offers exclusive use of the beautifully landscaped grounds and extensive facilities. Full of character and charm, the light and airy room is licensed for marriages and civil partnerships; you can also get married outside within the beautiful grounds.

Simply stunning!

The owners were a dream to work with and helped me add all of the little touches on the day, even hiring out random decor that was not initially asked for to help finish off our tables and other rooms. They changed everything for us literally 2 days before the wedding due to the weather. They were brilliant with my Celebrant and the communication between them was exceptional. They calmed my nerves so much walking down the aisle because they were so professional and prepared. The grounds were beautiful and so romantic. Their description of it being a 'Well kept secret' was perfect because you cannot see a thing until you enter the grounds, but when you do, it takes your breathe away. The day was a dream and we couldn't have hoped for anything more.

Everything we wanted and more ...

We had our wedding here in September, this was our first choice on paper and when we visited it for the first time we fell in love with it even more! We didn't even go to see anymore venues! It was everything we wanted and more! We loved it, our guests loved it and the dogs loved being part of our day, not many venues allow pets! Thank you to the very organised, professional team they made the day stress free!

Perfect settings for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies

Excellent location and friendly professional staff. Plenty for children and adults to do in a beautiful and safe setting. Well-manicured walled gardens and plenty of seating area. Spacious marquee for wedding breakfasts, etc, and perfect setting for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies. Clean wc's and a small but adequate bar area for ordering and collecting both alcohol and beverages.

This was the most amazing venue for our wedding. Nothing was too much trouble and our dream wedding came true. An outdoor ceremony in the pagoda followed by celebrations in the marquee. Fantastic day has by us and all our guests.

A perfect day ...

We had a fantastic wedding at the Orangery Suite on 22/5/21 . It was the perfect venue for our wedding and to be able to have it outdoors was the icing on the cake. All our guests loved the grounds and enjoyed the croquet and crazy golf. There are lovely places for photos and the grounds are immaculate. Graham was very helpful especially given the pandemic and the very changeable weather letting us make the inside/ outside decision on the day. A fantastic venue. A perfect day.
