From the moment we visited Purton House we knew it was the place for our reception
From the moment we visited Purton House we knew it was the place for our reception. Beautiful, friendly and totally relaxed. Talia and Jo supported our planning throughout. The food was just incredible and Jo and the team made everything run smoothly on the day. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Purton House if you're looking for something different from the normal cookie cutter venues.

Just amazing!
Purton House was the only wedding venue we visited - we knew it was for us the moment we stepped through the door. It was absolutely perfect for an intimate winter wedding complete with roaring log fires and the genuine warmth of everyone who makes Purton House so special. (Special mention to Cat, Talia, Jo and Danielle). Our guests absolutely loved the decor, the crockery, the food and the bedrooms. Just amazing!

Everything was just perfect.
Luckily we found purton house, and what a beautiful house it is. Kat was very helpful, herself and her family couldn’t do enough for us. Even to the point that Kat got her sons train tracks out for our son to play with and letting our daughter play their piano. Everything was just perfect.

... a hidden gem
We chose Purton House as our wedding venue after I fell in love with the house, grounds and super friendly owners and staff during a work away day held there a few years ago.The house is absolutely beautiful, we barely did any decorating as it has so much character already. It’s like a mini Downton Abbey...We’ve had so many people post-wedding tell us how beautiful and unique the venue is, it’s a hidden gem in the countryside just outside of Swindon.

We fell in love with the venue...
We fell in love with the venue and just had the best day. Cat was always on hand when I had questions about the day and making sure everything ran smoothly. Talia was amazing with the food, locally sourced and beyond scrummy....If you want a beautiful wedding with an informal, family vibe then this is the perfect wedding venue.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Purton House?

Harriet and Matthew wanted to have a wedding to remember set in our romantic grounds. They had the ceremony in the rose temple, drinks in the garden followed by a feast nestled amoung the pear trees in the orchard, and dancing in the garden!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

While the destination is important (your wedding day), try and enjoy the journey :)

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

That's very difficult, so I'll have to name a few... the order of the day hand-painted onto a pallet, a wheel-barrow full of flowers on the portico, wooden hearts for guests to write messages which are then slotted into a picture to make a picture frame guest book, wine glasses engraved with the name of the guest. Oh, and a sweet station for the kids!!

Describe Purton House in 5 adjectives

Authentic Elegant Romantic Friendly Relaxed

Where’s the best photo spot at Purton House?

There are too many to choose from again! There are a myriad of beautiful spots outside, but one of my favourite inside shots would be the dining room. I love it when the table layout is one long table (seats 32). When you stand at the end of the room and look all the way down the table, with the large window over-looking lawn and lake at the end, it's just splendid.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Purton House?

No.

What’s your favourite canapé?

Mini toad in the holes... yum!

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Ibby's homemade chocolates (another family venture)

What is Purton House most unique feature?

It's authenticity - not every part of the grounds are perfect (we can't use pesticides as we're organic), and some of the trimmings on the chairs are loose as they're 150 years old! Our staff feel like part of the family, and the family are a part of the business... we're a fun and friendly lot, and we hope that you can tell when you visit! That and the fact that Purton House is Georgian with a touch of Regency - think Georgian lines and big impact, with touches of decorative elegance, such as the stunning bay window in the ceremony room.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

That it was my late Mother-in-Law's vision to run weddings at the house, and I helped her set up the first website back in 2010.
