An amazing venue!

We truly had the most perfect day here, it ran smoothly, the food was great, the bar was well stocked and we felt really looked after, I really couldn’t thank Kerry and the rest of the staff enough for everything that they did. Kerry is super thorough, kind and helpful and she really pulled through to make the day what it was. We had our ceremony and reception in the Octagon Hall, pictures in the conservatory and the park and we hired the miniature train which was great fun for everyone. Thank you from the Stirrups xxx

Perfect Wedding

We originally booked to be married on the Bandstand, however due to the weather being unsuitable we were moved into the Conservatory and had the tea rooms bar opened for us afterwards which was very kind. It was just as magical as I had envisioned despite being in a different location. The staff at the Gardens were lovely, especially Leah who was with us all the way from our first enquiry.

We had hired the use of the miniature train but again due to the weather, we were unable to have this which we were quite sad about but completely understand.

All in all I couldn't have made the day more perfect if I had tried!

Perfect and planty!

Our wedding ceremony and reception were everything we could have hoped for!
Leah organised our wedding for us and we can't thank her and her team enough for looking after us and making us feel very special. The Art Cafe was decorated for us so we did not have to worry about rushing around before the ceremony. We gave a few ideas about how we'd like the decorations to be set up but really it looked beautiful because of how Leah and her team arranged everything. The Conservatory plants looked so lush and our guests were able to admire the plants whilst waiting for the ceremony to begin. We had photos taken outside in the park with all our guests. The scenery looked really pretty and we did not feel on show or uncomfortable despite the park being public. We had plenty of time in the Art Cafe to eat and enjoy ourselves afterwards. Our ceremony was at 4pm and we left at 9pm. Our decorations and left over cake were packed safely for us to collect the next day.
Our wedding caterers at another venue needed to cancel last minute. We contacted the Pavilion Gardens to ask if we could stay on at the venue for our reception and they were very accommodating regarding last minute changes, requesting vegan and gluten free options and organising our drinks reception to have non-alcoholic drinks in matching flutes so our guests who don't drink did not feel excluded.
Thank you so much for everything. We have so many lovely, happy memories from our wedding 💚

Amazing Venue

Our experience at Buxton Pavilion Gardens was fantastic! The value for what we received was exceptional. The venue itself is stunning, and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food served was simply amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better place to tie the knot. Highly recommend!
