Everything was spotless and decorated beautifully; the team did a phenomenal job.

Every bedroom, every room was spacious and clean. I especially liked that the hand soap and bedding detergent were suitable for sensitive skin. Everyone that we spoke to was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and helped us picture the wedding day beautifully.

Donna was amazing, she helped the day run smoothly and kept us calm and on track. We also want to thank Emily for all her help on the run-up to our wedding. The wedding breakfast was very tasty, and the gluten-free adaptations were great. The guests loved every dish.

Always looks beautiful, stunning interior and details! Beautiful gardens and very clean. Easy contact with our wedding manager Donna, was very helpful and helped us to feel at ease.

The wedding breakfast – All 3 courses were delicious! The beef was so tender.  The bar and waiting staff were always keeping up with making sure drinks were filled up during the wedding breakfast and quick service at the bar.

The majority of our praise goes to Donna; everything was under control and never felt overwhelming. Couldn’t have chosen someone better to see us through our special day; she was amazing. But thank you to everyone who helped bring the day together.

As a wedding photographer, Bourton Hall is so much fun to photograph! The confetti throw at the grand staircase is such a great moment and always makes for some of the most lively and memorable shots.

When the building is lit up at night, it creates a really special atmosphere and makes a beautiful backdrop for twilight photography.

The grounds are beautiful with plenty of space to explore and find stunning backdrops for photos. Whether it is the manicured gardens or the surrounding countryside, there are endless opportunities for capturing something truly special. The day runs very smoothly thanks to the fantastic team who are friendly, professional and keep everything ticking along without a hitch. The food is incredible too. If you want a truly stunning venue that makes for great photos and a really well-organised day, Bourton Hall is an absolute must.

We do not even know where to begin! Bourton Hall was everything we dreamed of and more! Growing up, I always imagined an English country wedding, and Bourton Hall brought that vision to life in the most stunning way.

Since our wedding day (Saturday 24th May 2025), we’ve had so many compliments from our guests—everyone was blown away by the beauty of the venue, the elegance of the rooms, and the charm of the grounds. It truly felt like something out of a fairytale.

The food was another level entirely. From the incredible canapés to the delicious cocktails, everything was beautifully presented and packed with flavour. Guests are still talking about the variety and how it all added such a classy, luxurious touch to the day. We were lucky enough to have Delia help us book the venue, and then the amazing Helena stepped in as our wedding manager. Helena was a true star—calm, kind, always smiling, and completely on top of everything. She made sure the day flowed effortlessly and went above and beyond for us at every turn. Helena will always be remembered as a special person to us.

All the staff were outstanding. Their attention to detail was next-level—from their white gloves to the perfectly synchronised and smooth service, it all highlighted just how special and high-end this venue really is. Bourton Hall is the most beautiful venue with exceptional service, and it made our wedding day absolutely perfect. I just wish we could relive it over and over again.

Bride – Hayyin

We had our wedding here in June 2025, and we would highly recommend Bourton Hall as a wedding venue.

Our wedding manager, Harminder, was exceptional in ensuring the smooth running of our day. From planning to on-the-day support, he was friendly, helpful, and nothing felt like too much trouble. We are grateful to Bourton Hall for making our day so special!

Mother of Bride – Lindsey

My daughter got married at Bourton Hall on 6th June 2025. The place is stunning, the staff were super efficient, and the food was comparable to a top restaurant, even though they were catering for nearly 100 guests.

The rooms were beautiful (all bedrooms had tea and coffee-making facilities). Lee, our wedding planner, was so friendly and relaxed, yet he was totally on the ball and made sure everything ran to plan. These guys know what they are doing, it’s a super slick operation, and although they host hundreds of weddings each year, for the time we spent there, it felt like “ours” and very exclusive.

To say my daughter had the best day ever is an understatement. The whole day was perfect and I am so pleased we picked Bourton Hall.

Bride & Groom – Mr & Mrs Bradbury

Eleni, we just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for making our day the best it could be. You worked tirelessly behind the scenes and it was just perfect from start to finish.

From the day we booked Bourton right up until the morning after the wedding it’s been a dream. The venue is second to none. The staff from waiters, chef, night porter, cleaners are all a credit to the venue they worked like nothing we’ve seen before. Cannot fault the team!

The food was just 100 out of 10 honestly compliments to the chef. Can’t count how many people said how it’s the best wedding food they have ever eaten! And truly I can say it is! Cooked to perfection!

The dinner service team were fantastic they knew exactly what to do and where to go and didn’t miss a beat when serving or clearing up.

The venue set up was beautiful and you knew exactly what to do and where everything needed to be and it just looked breathtaking! You worked amazingly well with all our suppliers too which was so lovely to see having most of them be recommended suppliers at Bourton!

We would recommend you to all as you were outstanding as our wedding planner so thanks for everything! Wish we could do it all again and we won’t hesitate to come back for dinner dates.

Best day of our lives!

Bride & Groom – Laura & Sean

We were incredibly impressed with everything inside the house. The architecture, decor and how light and airy the inside of the property is. The perfect venue. The bridal suite is just stunning and the best we had ever seen. We were also incredibly impressed with the housekeeping team. The house was immaculate.

The external of the house – Absolutely incredible. Stunning. The rose garden had some of the biggest roses that I had ever seen. Just absolutely unbelievable. The grounds team are fantastic. The bedrooms – Immaculate. Beautiful decor, gorgeous views, beautifully presented. The bridal suite was incredible. Our guest commented on how comfy the beds were. We could not have asked for anymore.

Incredibly informative and helpful. Thank you to Delia for showing us around. We loved the dinner dates and other events. We will always remember the BBQ last year. Some of the best BBQ food we have ever had. We would love it if it was brought back.

Harminder is incredible. Every question we had was answered. He made amazing suggestions that made our day extra special. The documents, especially the running order, were clear and meant that we were all on the same page. Incredibly well organised. I have cried multiple times since the wedding thinking about how amazing the staff at Bourton Hall are. What an incredible team you have! It was so clear to us and our guests that everything you do is done properly and done with so much love and care. It was truly heart-warming. Whatever you are paying Harminder isn’t enough. He is amazing! Everything ran so smoothly on the day because of him. He sorted so many problems before they even became problems. He even became a cake artist/florist and arranged the flowers on the cake. We met so many incredible people.

Elaine was absolutely lovely and so helpful. I will always remember speaking to her just before my registrar’s interview. I had a lovely conversation with your banqueting manager. Incredible front of house staff, so kind and caring. Our guests absolutely loved them!

Amazing food from the chefs, not just for Sean and I, but also every single one of our guests. The housekeeping team were so helpful and do a fantastic job. The grounds team are amazing. Quite a few of our guests are avid gardeners who were very impressed. I am so sorry if I have forgotten anybody. Everyone at Bourton Hall is amazing. The wedding breakfast was Incredible. Just gutted that I was full and was unable to finish my dessert. Sean thoroughly enjoyed his extra dishes (from absent guests). All guests raved about the food.
