Overall the day was perfect and was everything we had wanted it to be. The staff were all amazing and were there for absolutely everything we needed on the day and before the day. The venue was incredible and the location was such a beautiful sight throughout the day.

We wish we could do it all over again!
We cannot thank Arley team enough for the amazing wedding we had from start to finish. Both bridal parties had a relaxed morning with a lovely breakfast. The gents enjoyed their snooker game when they were getting ready. Nothing was a rush. Hayley was really helpful with anything we needed. We loved the introduction for us by Aggie as we walked into the wedding breakfast with everyone waving their napkins around!! Everyone had an incredible day. We would not change a thing and we are so grateful

They gave us the day we wanted!
I don't even know how to begin explaining what an amazing venue Arley House is... Firstly, the gardens are gorgeous: the perfect backdrop for our wedding. The house itself is beautiful and so well presented. The Grange is the perfect hotel to stay in. The rooms are stunning and the staff friendly and accommodating. But by far, the best thing about this venue are its staff. From our first enquiry, right up until our wedding day was over, every single person we met at Arley was friendly, helpful and went out of their way to give us the day we wanted. We couldn't have asked for a better team on the day; nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Arley House & Gardens

The team at Arley are incredible!
The team at Arley are incredible! Each and every one of them. They are so accommodating and nothing is too much. They were able to not only organise our wedding during a pandemic but within a 4 month time frame due to our previous venue closing down. They have been amazing from start to finish! All of our guests commented on the beauty of the venue and how perfectly everything was organised. Every single detail was thought about and executed precisely! I cannot recommend Arley enough especially for your special day it’s perfect!

It was the most perfect day
We got married Friday 12th August 2022. It was the most perfect day. We got married at St Peter’s Church & had our venue at Arley House and Gardens, which is just next door. The staff were faultless and the food was incredible. Big shout out to Hayley, who has been wonderful with helping us plan our big day. We cannot thank you enough. Every single guest could not speak highly enough of the venue/ staff and the food

The venue is just amazing!
I knew as soon as I set foot inside this venue that we were going to have our reception there. The team were amazing and went above and beyond from start to finish. On the day of the wedding they worked so hard to ensure we had the perfect day. And we certainly did. From drinks, to bar staff, to food, to serving staff, to wedding planners...everything was perfect. The venue is just amazing, immaculately kept.

Faultless
Arley House & Hayley our assigned planner are faultless. From our initial viewing to after the day was complete, everything was on point. Communication, understanding and plans. We had our whole day nailed down to the minute and they made everything so smooth. Every one of our guests only had good things to say about the day and that would not have been possible without Hayley and the Arley team.
