Arley Hall is just one of those venues that gives guests the absolute wow factor. There are so many different spaces that you get exclusive use of on the day. We were planning to have welcome drinks outside on the lawn, but typically it rained on the day. I was gutted but it honestly did not matter at all. The rooms inside are so stunning and offer more than enough space for guests to mingle and explore.

The staff were fantastic from start to finish and we had lots of guests comment to that effect. Everything went so smoothly. Big thank you to Millie and Ash in particular who oversaw the event for us so we didn't have to worry about a thing.

Their catering partner is Barretts and there isn't much to say here except that the food is amazing. There's so much choice, at lots of different price points. But the main thing is the quality (and size of the portions!), all our guests raved about it.

We had a truly fantastic day and if you're considering Arley Hall for your venue, I could not recommend it highly enough. I want to do it all over again!

From start to finish, the whole Arley team made our ideas into a reality, the sun even made an appearance meaning we were able to have our ceremony in the beautiful herbaceous border. Arley Hall is a special place to my family and we feel incredibly lucky to able to start our marriage there.

During planning our day, the co-ordinators insight, guidance and suggestions made special moments even more amazing. I am forever grateful for the beautiful memories that bring a tear to my eye everything I see our photos. They thought of things I would never had and advised on the best plan to capture intimate moments perfectly.

Luckily, we had access to the venue the day before so we were able to hang our dresses up in the Bridal suite ready and also spent the afternoon setting up the Hall for our wedding breakfast. The morning felt so calm with a light breakfast and coffee served in the bridal suite, the co-ordinator in charge had everything in hand which made myself feel relaxed and able to enjoy the morning with my Mum and bridal party. Unfortunately the groom missed out on breakfast but I let him know how lovely it was! Every step of the way from Bridal prep, photos, the ceremony, drinks and the wedding breakfast, they were there, happy to assist, advise or just work their magic to make that particular moment just a little bit more wow.

During the evening reception, another co-ordinator oversaw our Reception in Olympia and thanks to them, I was a very happy (comfortable) bride dancing the night away in my pyjamas and fluffy slippers, after my dress was finished having its moment in the limelight. I did hear feedback from our guests that they were unaware the wedding cake had been served and our guest book seemed to be missing so the majority missed out but it didn't dampen our night, we were too busy dancing!

We did find the accommodation costs for our guests expensive and difficult to organise, with check out time of 10am. Many who required a place to stay chose to stay elsewhere instead as they deemed this too early after a drink and a dance. Even as the Bride and Groom, we had to check out at 10am which we felt was unfair as our reception ended at 12:30am so it felt very rushed to go back to Chapel House, wind down & try to sleep, then get ready out and check out by 10am. We understood there was another wedding the next day which the venue needed to prepare for and luckily we hadn't had much alcohol to drink so was safe to drive the next morning, but felt very rushed and tired!

We found all our decor and flowers ready to collect the next morning with parking available outside the door which made things easy and efficient to pack up and be on our way as a married couple.

We have visited Arley Hall a few times since our day. reliving the moments of the day and plan to carry on into the future, creating new memories.

We cannot fault the wedding events team at Arley. From initial enquiry to our wedding day, communication was thorough, prompt and attention to detail is what Arley do effortlessly.
Our two main event co-ordinators, Ashley and Millie shine at what they do - they are such lovely, warm reassuring people who really do go the extra mile for each and every wedding. They clearly love what they do! The Hall itself it a wonderful place to exchange your vows and the gardens provide the most stunning backdrop for photographs.

I cannot recommend the venue and staff enough. The day felt magical from start to end and special thank you to Ashley who took the stress out of every detail. The bridal prep area is spacious and the house is such a gorgeous place to get married. All of our guests comment on how special the place was. Wish we could do it all over again!

Arley Hall is a gorgeous venue, and the team involved made our day run like clockwork. Nothing was too much trouble!

When we came across the venue online we expected there to be a catch or some hidden costs. The value for money is excellent.

The team are helpful, responsive and communicative. The in house caterers are also equally excellent. We genuinely had no complaints.

We had an amazing day, and I can’t imagine having gotten married anywhere else.

Dear Ashley & Bridget
We just wanted to say thank you so much for the all of your help in making our wedding the best day of our lives. It was truly so special to have an intimate wedding with our closest friends and family.

You we’re amazing pre wedding and on the day and you really helped us feel at ease and relaxed both before and during. Thank you for all of your organisation and spot on attention to detail.

Choosing to hold our wedding at Arley Hall was the best decision we've ever made. From the moment we stepped through the doors, the whole day unfolded like a wonderful (extremely well-organised) dream. We are so grateful for the organisation, initiative and kindness of all the Arley staff.

We wanted an intimate wedding using various components of our day to mix both British and Mexican culture. Arley Hall provided a stunning location with intricate architecture and heritage, beautifully manicured gardens for the all important post ceremony photos and also a wedding management team with the openness and flexibility to allow us to bring in important elements to our day to really celebrate our union of two cultures.

From all the guests arriving in a vintage Routemaster bus, to live Mariachi music, Mexican candies and a (second) wedding cake made of British cheeses, nothing was ever too much to ask from the team at Arley Hall. We wanted to use our day to push boundaries, like all same sex unions do, and all the employees at Arley Hall embraced the challenge with vigour!

The management of the day definitely required lots of work behind the scenes, but felt effortless for both of us and all the guests which allowed us to relax, celebrate and form bonds across both sides of the family that will surely last a life time.

Just attended a stunning wedding at this beautiful venue. From start to finish we were impressed with the quality of the day. The food and drinks served throughout the day were top notch, delicious and served beautifully. Every staff member we saw or spoke to was charming and helpful, clearly well versed in customer care. The master of ceremony was a ‘Peaky Blinder’ look alike which was very amusing twist and a classical quartet on the lawn was beautiful. Well done Arley Hall!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for a truly magical day on Saturday 13April.
You and your team were faultless right up to the minute we left at 1am.
It is only all the staff that know how hard they work to make the event so special and perfect.
The food was amazing so will you thank James and his team from me please. I did manage to give James a hug when we arrived so that was nice.
All our guests have never stopped talking about Arley and the service.
I want to do it all again now!!

When we began planning the wedding and we saw Arley Hall I instantly fell in love. It was my perfect wedding venue and Nick agreed. You was so wonderful showing us around and setting the scene. I knew on the first visit that we didn't need to see anymore. This was our venue!!
We then met Lord and Lady Ashbrook which gave it even more gravitas. Another wonderful wedding experience which we actually enjoyed.
Then we then met Rachel through email and then at the food tasting. She was fantastic! Completely in control, organized, kind, and straight-talking – exactly what a couple need.
Then the lady that ran the day. I can't remember her name but she is in the photos. She was lovely and kept everything running smoothly.
On the day everything went like Swiss clockwork. It was seamless. Our day was perfect! Everything went as planned – or at least as far as we were concerned it did. You really looked after us. The day was perfection. We were both over the moon, and everyone, and I mean everyone, said it was the best wedding they have been to. We have to agree!
We look forward to coming back to the UK and visiting Arley Hall when we are next home from Hong Kong.
Best wishes,
Carolyn and Nick Day x

I just wanted to drop you a note to say how impressed we were (our guests included) at the venue, the staff, quality of the food – everything exceeded our expectations!
Thank you so much to yourself, Helen and Ashley for making our day so extra special and to run so smoothly, greatly appreciated, when we were planning from afar in Dubai!

We both just wanted to drop you a quick thankyou message to say a massive thank you to Rachel and the whole team who really made our wedding everything we had dreamed of and more . From start to finish the team at arley were amazing, and the time and effort they put into the smallest details showed throughout the day.. when our florist almost didn't show up rachel was great and kept a calm head and was getting button holes sorted should we have needed them. I haven't seen a team that put their heart an sole into something the way Arley did for a long time and it was a delight to be a part of and confirmed that arley hall was the best venue we could have chosen for our big day.

My wife and I married at Arley Hall in November 2011, we choose the venue as my mum was a regular visitor to the amazing gardens. The day was not only wonderful for Nicola and I but it was such a well organised, fun and beautiful event for our guests. We felt very relaxed and entirely trusted the team which let us enjoy our big day.

we were wed at Arley in July 2011 and it was the most amazing day. we had thr ceremony in the gardens which looked beautiful. a day we wont forget. simply magical
