- NNicole and Adam01/05/2017Our day could not have been betterOur day could not have been betterHi Toni, I want to say a massive thank you for all of your hard work for our wedding on the 9th August. You were amazing. With you organising everything, we were never worried about how the day would turn out. You always know the answers that we needed and you were so completely in control of everything that gave us complete faith in your ability to sort any problem or question that we had! On the day, you delivered spectacularly and I do not believe that our day could have been better. Every single one of our guests has commented to us about how stunning The Orangery is as a wedding venue and I would also like to pass on thanks to Liz, Bryony and Don for all of their work as well.

- CCourtney and Ben01/05/2017Our day was perfectOur day was perfectHi Orangery team, We just wanted to send a message to say thank you so much for making our day so wonderful last week. We had a great time, and so many people were complimentary about the venue, especially the food. We got a sneak peek of the pictures from our photographer and they look incredible. A lot of that is due to the care you guys take with the grounds, so thank you again! Hope you have a wonderful summer and that everyone else's days are just as perfect as ours (and run smoothly for you!).Hi Orangery team, We just wanted to send a message to say thank you so much for making our day so wonderful last week.

- AAimee and Avis01/05/2017Surpassed expectationsSurpassed expectationsI just wanted to send a quick email to thank everyone who was involved with our wedding on Sunday 23rd June 2019! I wanted to send over a special thanks to Bryony who really made the whole day run smoothly and even when I had very stressed bridesmaids, late parents of the groom and when the music wouldn't work, she kept calm and professional and sorted everything out so quickly! Our entire experience has been nothing but a pleasure and all staff have surpassed expectations! Thank you again from the first time we viewed the Orangery, throughout all of our meetings and especially on the big day, you were all incredible and I cannot thank you enough!I just wanted to send a quick email to thank everyone who was involved with our wedding on Sunday 23rd June 2019!
