Tilly and Reece
After their wedding in Tilly’s parish church, the happy couple were greeted with a glass of bubbles before moving through into the gorgeous gardens at Pauntley Court.
Drinks and canapés were enjoyed by all the guests as they chatted and laughed together under our ‘Tentickle’ stretch tent within the hornbeam arches on the first lawn. The sun was shining, and everyone was relaxed and happy, with time to reflect on the beautiful church service, and excited to move into the house to enjoy the next part of the big day!
Tilly and Reece had a chance to wander off with their photographer Lee Hawley through the magical garden rooms and into the sunken garden.
Guests were then asked to move into the house for the wonderful wedding breakfast by Charlotte Gardner catering. Tilly’s mother and family had decorated the long trestle tables the day before and personalised the table plan, just as they wished it to look.
The Ballroom was filled with joy and much laughter and everyone had a chance to talk and enjoy the personal and intimate atmosphere. The wedding cake looked beautiful on the grand piano.
"The house and grounds were pristine and we couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful venue for our reception!" - Tilly, Bride, 2020

Using the venue for the whole weekend and everything you could have needed was available. It was also nice that we were trusted to host our guests on the Friday and Sunday without staff being present but were available if and when required.
All of the rooms and bathrooms were of a very high standard and in keeping with the style of the house. The robes/slippers and fresh flowers in each bedroom were also a nice touch. The outside spaces were very well kept and there was a lot of outdoor spaces to choose from for each aspect of the day. Thankfully, with it being a beautiful weekend of weather, we got to appreciate the beautiful gardens and the guests commented on how stunning these were. We feel that Holly made our day run so smoothly and she was very attentive. She continually supported us from the start of our planning, right up until the last dance. She took so much pressure off of us by ensuring everything was set up and arranged for us all. We were blown away by how it looked and we couldn't have done it without her. Rachel was absolutely amazing. Her help across the whole weekend was fantastic. The moment she greeted us on Friday, she was so welcoming and made us aware of her services and availability. All of our guests were amazed at all the work Rachel helped us with and it allowed us to all relax and enjoy our weekend, stress free! The breakfasts she prepared for us were delicious and full of compliments. She made a huge impact on our stay at Pauntley and we're so grateful for all of her help over the weekend.
