A 6 star wedding venue
Melissa, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home and allowing us to get married in such a historic and magical place. We are so grateful to you, Mel, and the whole team for looking after us so well and making our day so special. Nothing was too much trouble and you made every aspect of our day perfect and flawless. I’m so glad we chose Pauntley Court for a day we will never forget. -

A truly magical weekend
Our wedding weekend at Pauntley Court was perfect in every way. We chose Pauntley as the house itself is beautiful, the interior has been restored and decorated to the highest standard and still feels super homely and comfortable. On top of this the surrounding grounds are stunning, with multiple areas filled with trees, flowers and neatly trimmed hedges to explore, it made the perfect backdrop to our wedding ceremony and reception!
Having exclusive use of the venue for 3 days, and hiring the housekeeper Rachel to help throughout, enabled us to truly relax and make the most of the wedding weekend with our friends and family. The staff at Pauntley went above and beyond to help in any way they could, both in preparation and throughout the wedding itself, and the teams warm presence really made the weekend extra special - we can't recommend Pauntley Court enoughPauntley Court's reply:
Dear Macey
Thank you very much for such a lovely testimonial about your wedding here at Pauntley. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay in the house and that you loved being in the gardens for your wedding day, using all the spaces with their clipped yew trees and box hedges. It is great that you had Rachel, our fantastic housekeeper, to look after during your three day stay here too. you looked so beautiful on your wedding day and the tipi was stunning inside with all the gorgeous flowers. We really hope you will keep in touch and come back and stay in the Dovecote one day soon maybe!
With our best wishes
Melissa and The Pauntley Team -

Pauntley Court is a truly unique and magical place to get married. As soon as we visited for the first time, it felt like we’d been transported into a fairytale, from the beautiful terracotta coloured house, the far-reaching countryside views and gardens, the homely rooms - each with their individual character - to the welcoming and friendly arms of Melissa. We couldn’t believe the venue we had stumbled across and our wedding was more than we could have ever dreamed of. Our family stayed with us at Pauntley Court for the weekend, making it feel like a home away from home. Pauntley Court is rare in that it can organise very intimate ceremonies, which we had in the beautiful ballroom, and hosting our wedding across the weekend meant we could spend quality time with our closest friends and family. We can’t thank Melissa and the Pauntley Court staff enough, who went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went smoothly and we could really live in the moment. Pauntley Court will always be a treasured place for us and we’ll certainly be back to stay in Elinor Fettiplace once more. To anyone considering this venue, don’t hesitate and book a visit - you won’t turn back!Pauntley Court's reply:
Dear Cicely
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review about your experience here at Pauntley Court for your intimate weekend wedding. We are so happy to read that you felt like you had a 'home from home' experience and that you had special quality time with your family and close friends over the three days that you were here. We so enjoyed being a part of your beautiful wedding day and meeting some of your family.
It would be wonderful if you do come back and stay in Elinor Fettiplace, we would love to see you again.
Thank you again for your wonderful testimonial,
Best wishes
Melissa

David R. Sent on 30/12/2023Amazing! A true fairytale wedding.
We knew Pauntley Court was the place for us when we saw it online. Offering a two-night package, with wonderful accommodation for our friends and family, we felt that the setting was ideal, and that the wedding day day itself would not feel too rushed or frenetic. We wanted a fairytale wedding, and if that's what you're looking for then look no further than the beautiful Pauntley Court and its stunning grounds.
Melissa was extremely helpful during the whole process. We were unwell for our scheduled tour, but she gave us an extensive virtual tour instead. She was communicative throughout and helped us form a bespoke package for our particular needs. We attended her well-organised 'inspiration' day so that we could meet suppliers, and we booked our cake maker, catering company, Alicia the videographer and the amazing Matt Bee (wedding guitarist) that day. It was such an easy process, taking all the hassle out of finding suppliers ourselves, and we knew when seeing the grounds on a beautiful, sunny, late winter morning that we had absolutely made the right choice.
Jilly, our wedding coordinator and part of Melissa's team, was fantastic in the lead-up to the wedding and was always on hand to answer any questions we had. Come the wedding itself, we were unsure about the weather, and a late change to move the ceremony inside was no problem for the team. Melissa was brilliant, shuttling around all day to ensure we had the best time possible, even pushing water puddles off the marquee roof to ensure we didn't all get drenched!
We cannot speak highly enough of the quality of the accommodation. One friend said 'this room is almost as big as our whole flat.' The beds were so comfy, and the bridal suite was the perfect place to relax before and after the ceremony. It felt at once homely and grand, and I think that is an incredibly rare combination to find.
Melissa was so enthusiastic about our wedding (and our cosplay party the night before) and really went the extra mile to make us feel special. To work in the industry, but retain such an infectious enthusiasm for it, is another incredibly rare trait, and something which we are thankful for. We will always be grateful to her and the team for making our day truly the best of our lives and we will always stay in touch.Pauntley Court's reply:
Dear David and Cat
Reading your wonderful and extremely kind words about your wedding here at Pauntley Court this summer has made my day and year! Thank you for such an effusive and complimentary review. We so enjoyed having you both and your family and friends here for the three days. Your cosplay on the night before your big day was amazing, so creative and fun and full of joy and energy. Your wedding day was just fantastic and so beautiful with so many unique details and I loved being a part of it (in the background!), working away with Jilly, to ensure everything ran smoothly.
Happy New Year and thank you so much once again! Best wishes Melissa
