The house was perfect, just as requested. Delia showed us around during our first visit, and she was excellent. On our wedding day, Courtney and all staff on the day were absolutely brilliant.
The food was amazing. We had so many compliments from guests about the food – the vegan chicken dish in particular blew everyone away. Thank you, Courtney, for helping to make our day so special – you were a calming presence, so approachable and really looked after us.
From the moment we walked in, we felt this was the place we wanted to get married in. Excellent service all round. The house was excellent, everything was placed beautifully and looked amazing.Our honeymoon suite was absolutely fantastic; we loved it.
Words can’t describe the service that Harminder provided throughout the wedding. With it being a fusion wedding, Harminder understood from the first minute what we were looking for and helped execute everything on the day. We had initial issues with our food menu and needed this to be changed to add a bit more of an Indian twist. Harminder addressed our concerns early on and met with my dad to get an idea of what we wanted, and on the day, the food was immaculate, so tasty and exactly what we wanted.
On the day Jian and I had issues with our outfits and Harminder was again at the rescue, helping me pin my scarf onto my outfit as well as helping my partner with hers. His service was absolutely amazing, and he really helped keep the flow of the day. Our guests were very impressed with him, and my mum has also said he was extremely helpful throughout. Finally, he also helped us source some Dohl drummers for the evening party, which turned out to be a great hit with the guests. It would have been wrong of me not to give him a mention in my wedding speech. He was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. Would recommend him to anyone who is thinking about getting married at Bourton Hall.
The house was spotless and looked incredible all day. All of our guests were super happy with their rooms and let us know how lovely they were! The Bridal suite was incredible, too! Your team were absolutely top-notch; nothing was too much trouble, and the day flowed so smoothly!
Extra special shout out to the chefs! The food and drinks all day were top-notch. Honestly, Harminder was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! I don’t know what we would have done without him. From fluffing my train to making sure everyone was having the best time and that we were happy and relaxed – he truly was the perfect wedding manager. The wedding breakfast was perfect! The food was outstanding, and so was the service. Everyone was so happy with the taste and the quality of the food; we’re still getting compliments on that two weeks later. The breakfast the following morning was perfect, and I loved how you took into account that a lot of our guests didn’t eat pork – they were all really happy to have something they could enjoy.
You guys are brilliant at what you do, and we felt so looked after from our very first look around to the morning after our wedding. We’ve heard some absolutely horror stories about venues from our friends, but honestly, you guys were perfect from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, and you really made us feel like our special day was our own and exactly how we’d pictured it, and so much more. Thank you for making our day a truly special one – we’ll be forever grateful!
The house set up was amazing, and getting to see it all before heading up to the Honeymoon Suite made me feel so settled.
The house is amazing and preserved so well and naturally. The garden was presented so well and was a beautiful first sight. The Honeymoon Suite was perfect to get ready in and take photos. All guests loved their rooms, and it was great to be able to have so many stay.
We had an amazing wedding planner, Eleni; she made the day run better than perfect. The food was cooked perfectly and timed well between meals.
Everywhere was absolutely amazing! The house was immaculate and so well presented! Beautiful grounds that have been maintained to a high standard!
From start to finish, we cannot fault the level of support, communication and professionalism with making our day perfect. Donna has been fantastic!! Communication, checking in with us both and really adaptable to what we wanted and any changes that occurred! Could not recommend Donna enough.
During dinner, it was fantastic. We received compliments on the high standard of service from all the waiting staff. They were extremely attentive to all guests! The DJ was fantastic!! Presentation was fantastic!! Service was great!! Everyone was impressed with the quality of the food, and everyone’s dietary requirements were seemingly accommodated. Good range of drinks, people liked the wine! Great choice of gins and beers. All staff were excellent and efficient! A big shout to Mark the DJ and to Donna!!
From the very start, we knew we wanted a wedding that was colourful, joyful and completely us – and Bourton Hall gave us the perfect canvas to bring that to life. From the breathtaking chapel and its ceiling that took our breath away on our first visit, to the beautiful grounds that welcomed our guests from all over the world, it felt like a place full of character, elegance and warmth.
We planned our day around whimsy and colour, inspired by autumn and Wes Anderson films like Fantastic Mr Fox and The Grand Budapest Hotel. Bourton Hall gave us the flexibility to create something truly personal – from colourful sashes and mirrorballs to our own signage and homegrown flowers, everything came together so naturally. The layout of the venue, with different spaces for dancing, quiet conversation and dining, worked perfectly for our guests and gave the day a brilliant flow.
We honestly could not have done it without our incredible Personal Wedding Manager, Emily Sarjant. She went above and beyond to make our ideas a reality – from tuning the piano so the bride’s dad could perform our first dance, to helping organise a surprise musical performance from our family during our breakfast the next day. Nothing was too much trouble and her calm, kind and capable approach meant we could relax and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was in safe hands.
Our day was a perfect celebration of our story, cultures and style, and we’ll always be grateful to Bourton Hall – and especially Emily – for making it feel so easy and so special. We’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.
Donna was always available to help with any questions and on hand to help throughout the day.
The grounds are gorgeous. Love the bridal suite. Our Personal Wedding Manager was lovely.
