Reviews of The Orchard
H. S.On the 21st May 2022 we finally tied the knot at The Orchard.
From when we first viewed the venue we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. The venue is so beautiful and you get the whole venue to yourselves with all lovely rooms, terrace and gazebo area.
All of the team were amazing from emailing and answering all of my questions to last minute add ons. On the day everything ran smoothly and the whole team went above and beyond. Our day was so magical and the venue was so stunning.
Their packages makes wedding planning so much easier and in our opinion so worth it as the cake, photographer, centerpieces, DJ, bridal car and so much more were included
Thank you all so much for making our day perfect.
Mr & Mrs Stapley ♥️
M. N.An exciting place to celebrate your event. Plenty of car parking spaces available, different area for you and your guests to seat down in. Main area has a dance floor with small but steep ramp. Staff will look after you and your guests while you continue to make memories with close friends and family. There is a covered outside section and non covered section.
J. C.We can't thank you all enough. The Orchard is a beautiful venue and you all do an amazing job. In bring wedding dreams to life. From our first meeting to our special day, you made us feel relaxed and we knew our wedding prep was in good hands. Tanith you are a star and a credit to The Orchard every request was done to how we wanted. Thank you so much. We have lots of beautiful memories of our special day xx
Lauren & Michael 4th August 2022
C. “. B.A great venue for the whole wedding package. Great fun with additional entertainment sections like a photo booth to capture memories for that special day. A sweet trolley to feed the masses during the evening hours too.
A. S.Just had our wedding at the Orchard and it was AMAZING! Massive shout out to Tanith and the all team for making the day extra special. We loved every second of it and wish we could relive the wedding day again. Tanith was so easy to communicate and deal with. She made sure every request was managed and executed. The staff who set up in the morning are all super pleasent and even made sure some last minute table changes were sorted without a fuss. Shout out to the staff in the kitchen (Callum & Charlie), fantastic job gents, superb food. Special mention to Charlie for going the extra mile too and making sure our experince was even better by being such a fantastic personality throughout the day and night.
Mr & Mrs Shimmen
I. L.A wonderful, pretty wedding venue, although the vegan brownie was very dry but apparently the cheesecake was great
J. S.Beautiful venue, for my daughters wedding. Loved everything about it. Food was great. Would recommend
S. F.Excellent location for weddings, staff were excellent, we had a great time.
S. C.Filmed a wedding here recently and The Orchard is such a lovely venue for a wedding with lots of nice spots for photos. Tanith the wedding coordinator was very helpful and friendly and all the staff were great. Food was also delicious and did great vegetarian options!
J. T.Lovely venue, we were there for a wedding and the staff were so lovely and helpful, special shout out to chefs Charlie and Callum who went above and beyond to meet our needs! Highly recommend. Tash the wedding organiser was also wonderful and on it, sorted out any logistics for us! Thank you!

Thanks all for making it the day it was
K. T.Attended a very nice wedding here well run and an excellent setting inside and outside perfect wedding venue
S. D.Oh my, I don't even know where to start.. I got married here on Saturday and it was by far the best experience I've ever had. This expectation is hard considering I've worked in the wedding industry myself. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that I was OK and anything that i wanted or needed, was dealt with promptly. Everyone there is so kind and helpful and really want you to have the best day of your life. The food was absolutely amazing, every bite that I had was literally mouthwatering 😋 If your thinking of getting married here, absolutely 💯 do it !!! Thank you soooo much for making our day nothing but perfect 🥰 💞 These beautiful memories will live with us forever ❤
S. t. B.Had the pleasure of supplying a Cocktail Making Masterclass to the Team at The Orchard Suite last weekend. My first visit to the Venue. I tel ya, it’s a cracking and totally unique Wedding Venue.
The Team were brilliant fun, so I know full well they’ll look after you very well on your Big Day. Devon was the Girl that looked after me, so give her a shout for Enquiries.
The Venue is easy to get to, clean, looks lovely when set up and Wedding Ready and plenty of Parking for Guests etc.
P. P.It was a celebration of my late husband’s life Geoffrey Parsons
attended by friends, relatives and work mates
Due to covid I was unable to have a wake last year , I was very sad about that but today made up for all the disappointment
The venue was perfect, all the guests said how lovely it was , spacious but cosy . The food was delicious especially the sausage rolls and chocolate brownies !
The staff were very friendly and everyone left feeling happy that they had come.
Thank you so much .
T. s.Beautiful venue, and the staff were great too, so attentive and even looked after my 1 year old during speeches. Thanks everyone
J. L.Went to a wedding, one of the best weddings I've been to. Food was great, beautiful location.......really lovely 😍 place 😋
R. V.Great venue, well managed and very helpful with setting up
J. J.Went to a wedding at The Orchard. Great place, lovely staff and amazing food.
S. C.Lovely. Clean, welcoming. Food was fresh ,well presented. Staff were polite and efficient.
s. d.Beautiful venue, staff didnt seem to like kids running about though and no heating when it was a cold, wet windy day
J. C.Brilliant wedding venue, lovely food, helpful staff, an all around great experience.
M. O.My wife and I had our wedding here on the 2nd November 2019. It was the most amazing day of our lives and I cannot express how magnificent the venue and it’s staff were. It was perfect
S. W.Beautiful wedding venue. Magical.
L. E.An absolutely beautiful venue. Food buffet was excellent. A place where memories can be made
J. S.My brother got married here and I was the best man. It was lovely. Really lovely. Everything in one place. For a chilled out romantic and beautiful day. The bride stayed the night before and the married couple were able to stay the night after, perfect.
J. C.My son had his wedding at this venue at the end of last week . It is a beautiful setting and has different areas for people to go . The staff were friendly and professional , food was very nice and presented well . They also catered for vegan which was given a thumbs up by those who had this . Tony the toastmaster was excellent and ensured things went smoothly with photography , meals & speeches .
Unfortunately the DJ played the wrong version of the couple's first dance , even though he had been given the link to the right version before the wedding . Unfortunately that can't be changed now , but the rest of the evening was fab .
J. A.Great family owned family friendly venue. Very well organised party and wedding venue. Staff here do all they can to make any event go well. Very friendly staff and plenty of on site parking.
S. K.Good wedding venue beer was a bit pricey but overall good quality and service
T. C.My daughter and her new husband had their wedding at The Orchard and the the Venue was absolutely stunning. The team looked after us all wonderfully and I thank everyone involved for ensuring their wedding day was magical, in every way!
C. K.my brother had his wedding here on 19th february and was by far the best wedding ever!! the staff were amazing it was a very sentimental day to us all as we lost our dad in march last year and my sister in law lost her sister years ago to but the orchard went above and beyond to fulfill my dads one wish to see us marry callum being the first 😂 we all have loves ones who are no logger here to enjoy our special day but here at the orchard we was able to enjoy this special day with our heavenly loved ones too their photos were with us through out the wedding he had a place at the table so we know our dad was with us every step of the way and everything was perfect and the venue was beautiful….and not to mention the food was to die for absolutely perfect in every way..highly recommended when my fiancé finally pulls his finger out this is the place 😂 thank you The Orchard for a wonderful and special wedding ❤️
D. B.The Orchard was a beautiful beautiful place we had my son's wedding here could not fault this place at all staff were amazing if anybody wanted to get married here I would highly recommend it beautiful quirky this venue has everything you needed all I can say is thank you for making my son's wedding perfect in every way
D. R.The venue is gorgeous. Beautiful lighting and the setup was perfect for a wedding. I cannot fault them on that. I've knocked 2 stars off however, because I had to ask to have the disabled toilet unlocked and accessible. It was not a radar key scheme so there was no way to access without staff. I suspect this has to do with inexperienced folks trying to get out of cleaning a bathroom. Honestly, it's so stressful as a disabled person to have to track down a staff member to get into the toilet, especially when your disability is mobility based.
B. L.We had a family wedding there it's a beautiful venue
P. 1.I had this venue confused with the orchard theatre in Dartford as I visited both! I visited here as my niece was married outside, although inside, there wasn't much scope for social distancing. That said, it's a wonderful venue and very picturesque 😊
L. H.Beautiful venue in a lovely setting. The staff were very attentive. Food was average, but what you expect for an expensive wedding breakfast! ;-)
S. M.A beautiful venue. Everyone works so hard there, I would recommend this place to anyone.
J. G.I have been to a few events and weddings at The Orchard and every time I have been there I have been greeted with smiling, friendly, faces and outstanding service from all members of staff. The food is exceptional and the venue is bursting with character.
Absolutely love it here!
M. G.Great wedding venue with some brilliant packages including some excellent suppliers
K. J. R.Amazing wedding experience, weather helped food was awesome and the staff were fantastic 👍👍
D. H.A Lovely peaceful venue,would recommend it
A. C.My son got married at the orchard on Saturday it was a wonderful day everyone was very helpful the food was fabulous really really good and the venue was to die for so beautiful I would definitely Recommend the orchard
J. G.Attended venue for a wedding. Beautiful venue, hard working, helpful staff. Very tasty food. Thoroughly recommend.
r. c.Good mid range wedding venue with good service.
C. B.Attended a wedding here. The venue is simply stunning, felt like we just kept unlocking a new room as the day went on! Absolutely stunning!
J. W.My wife and I had the pleasure of attending a wedding and having our wedding in 1 week. I could not fault one thing here from the location, facilities, food and staff here. Well done the Orchard team.
n. B.As a wedding car hire company bride and grooms all ways state how good it is there
j. w.Had our wedding here in September for 30 people due to covid restrictions. We chose the gold package, sadly didn't receive all of our elements in our package due to govermenrt restrictions in which we accepted and were still happy to proceed as we wanted to get married this year. However some simple touches like our chosen colour bows for the back of our ceremony chairs were not present on the day, to say this was disappointing is an understatement! This is just one of the many issues we experienced and we don't feel it would be appropriate to list the problems as we have raised our concerns by making contact with the venue staff after our wedding and are still not happy with the response and its a shame this could not have been resolved. We paid a considerable amount of money for our wedding and the service received did not reflect the price we paid. The venue itself is lovely.
P. R.Very nice. Could do with some outside areas being cleaned and cleared of spider webs brambles gutters cleaned etc.bar very expensive. Inside very glitzy. Food good.difficult access for elderly or disabled as lots of uneven surfaces and steps.
P. A.Beautiful venue. Lovely and helpful staff. My daughter had a wonderful wedding there.
k. l.Fantastic food! Polite and professional staff. Highly recommended!!
P. N.Beautiful venue and excellent attention to detail for the wedding we attended, every effort made to achieve a fairytale wedding. However the venue was completely unsuitable for the multiple disabled guests. One was not even able to go to the toilet as the doorway was too narrow for the mobility chair to fit through ☹️. Also the venue was ill suited to young children, with breakable objects and delicate glass furniture right at little ones easy reach. All staff were friendly and helpful on the night, although locking the doors we came in through and then not saying anything about how to get out was to say the least disconcerting! This alternative exit route had stairs without ramps, or any alternative for the pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters in attendance - ranging from an inconvenience to downright thoughtless depending on your point of view.
M. E.5 star party
5 star for the venue as in the decoration and food
3 star price for drinks not to bad on price ( could be cheaper) but for non drinkers half a can of coke in a glass £2.80
And due to covid they could of had more staff and waited on tables outside as well
S. c.Absolutely stunning venue...
Staff are fantastic and will go out of thier way to help you.
Cannot wait to get married here.
A. L.This is going to be the place I take my family and friends too from now on, such friendly staff, and Sharon made us feel very welcome. Beautiful old building with a cosy contemporary decor. Fantastic food, as it was such a lovely day we sat outside surrounded by beautiful Countryside. All Very clean inside and out... I definitely recommend it. It's a wedding Venue too
B. J.Brilliant location for my nephew's wedding. Just have to say a big thank-you to the staff who were all VERY helpful to the family's needs
A. C.Went to a wedding here the staff are amazing always there to help. Food was good. Definitely recommend
C. S.Looks like an excellent venue. Hope they come up with the goods on the day
R. T.My son got married here and we all had a great time really good venue
T. O.An amazing review from Charlotte and Chris - 07.05.2022
We honestly had the most amazing experience with the Orchard, from first booking it all the way up until our wedding it really was the best and a 5 star experience from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for anything more from our wedding day and it really was the most perfect and happiest day of our lives.
The Orchard made it such an easy experience and took so much of the pressure away from planning a wedding and we've had so many compliments on our day and venue.
The venue was beautiful, the staff were amazing, the food was unreal, there is not one way we could fault. We wish we could do the whole experience and day again!
