Kind Words
"We wanted to express our thanks and gratitude for making Molly and Olly's wedding so amazing. The venue is outstanding but you and your team make it so very much more special – all the effort you put in really shows – We were so grateful to Rachel who just quietly got on with everything – we all loved her and the food was sensational – she also looked after the older people so well and made every attempt to ensure that they were warm and fed well according to their special requests!
We could not believe how much of your heart went into every special detail and of course the personal touches – It was amazing to see you coming down to the marquee at midnight to make sure everything was in order. What energy you have!

What our couples say
Pauntley Court is so beautiful and was the most perfect venue for our intimate wedding. Our ceremony between the quince trees was like something out of a fairytale and was truly magical!
Melissa and team were so welcoming, while Rachel and Holly were fantastic at supporting us throughout to make our day so special.
