The most incredible day
The Orangery team were absolutely incredible from the start to finish with our wedding. We are so grateful to the whole team, especially Bryony for helping us create the perfect day. We really couldn’t recommend The Orangery enough if you are looking for a breath taking venue, enjoyable and stress free wedding planning and a lovely team to support you on your day. The Orangery was the first of two venues that we viewed. I’d seen the promo video on YouTube and knew instantly that was where I wanted to get married. We went straight from the viewing at The Orangery to a viewing at their sister venue The Gardens, which is also beautiful but I’d already made my mind up. Bryony showed us around and sat with us to discuss pricing and different add on options, guest estimations etc. one thing we found great was that we were able to get a tailored quote , based on our expected guests. So don’t be put off if your guests amount/ budget doesn’t align with the set quotes. We got married in the absolutely gorgeous lapa, thankfully the weather held out, but one of the plus points for us was that the garden room was equally as lovely if the weather did let us down. Other venues seem to have dingy side rooms, but the garden room is modern and light and fits really well with the vibe. Our day ran so smoothly and the orangery team took care of everything, nothing was ever to much to ask. All queries were answered in a timely manner and communication was second to none. I couldn’t believe how my vision was brought to life and everything was set up perfectly based on my notes on sonas. Which was another bonus of being able to enjoy my morning, without setting up myself. The food was honestly incredible, our guests kept commenting on how amazing everything tasted and most said it was the best wedding food they’d ever have. We felt everyone was kept well fed with canapés, the 3 course meal and rustic pizza option for the evening. Another bonus, which we were so impressed with was the flexibility of the menu. Guests had several options and even the option to have an adult portion of the kids meal and vise Versa. I took advantage of this as a fussy eater and had the yummiest garlic bread Ive ever eaten to start. We were also mesmerised by how efficiently the food is served, everybody on one table has their food placed down at the same time, this was really cool to watch from top table. The waiters/waitresses checked on us throughout and everybody was polite, friendly and professional. The same could be said for the bar staff who were really fun to talk too. Bryony, Georgia and George were our coordinators on the day/evening and they were literally the dream team. Bryony kept the day running so smoothly and was so lovely to be around on such a special day. Everything ran in a timely manner and she did an amazing job keeping me at ease before the ceremony. George & Georgia were so fun to interact with in the evening, and again nothing was to much to ask. Thank you so much, for playing such an important role in our day and ensuring we had the best day of our lives. The three of you are angels. It really was the most beautiful day and we are so sad it’s over. I could go on for hours about how incredible The Orangery & Staff are, so simply, they are the best venue and team for a dreamy wedding. We recommend them so highly. Although it doesn’t feel enough, thank you so much for everything!

The best day of our lives!
It is impossible to put into words the gratitude I have for The Orangery team. They provided us with the best day in my existence. The service they provided us on the run up to the wedding was first class helping me to solve any pre wedding issues and decisions I was struggling with ahead of our big day. On the day of our wedding we were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived up until the end of the day. The service and commitment of the team to execute everything to perfection was incredible. The food was superb, there is not one thing that went wrong everything was exactly how I had always visioned it and that is due to hard work of the Orangery team. I’d love to give thanks to Jaime who was the events manager on our day. She worked so unbelievably hard and her efforts should be recognised! I’d also love to give thanks to Nàtalia for all of her commitment on the run up to our big day. She had all the answers to my many many questions and was constantly there to reassure me on anything I wasn’t sure about. If you are considering getting married The Orangery should be on the top of your list. The venue is gorgeous, the service is superb and our wedding will forever remain one of the best days of our lives all thanks to you!

Best wedding venue ever!!
The team at the Orangery were absolutely incredible and a huge part of what made our day even more special! They were on hand for any questions during the planning process and made our lives a lot easier - no question was too small and they were super supportive and accomodating throughout! We were able to just enjoy our day knowing that the team and Kate (our wedding coordinator) was running everything so smoothly and making sure that our guests were well looked after. The venue itself was absolutely stunning and everything we had dreamed of for our day, the Lapa was the most perfect place for our ceremony! The grounds were incredibly well looked after and the dressing room was stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better day, thank you so much!
