An Intimate November Wedding at Pauntley court
Written by Melissa
Our bride, Nicole chose to get ready in the Elinor Fettiplace - the perfect, tranquil setting for such a beautiful wedding morning.
With the whole of the Pauntley Team on hand to support Nicole on her journery to her pre marriage interview in the house.
Nicole and Joe chose to marry in the Ballrom, the perfect setting with florals from Aurora Nyx floral Design
From the ceremony guests tossed confetti at the Bride and Groom down the aisle and were welcomed into the Pannelled Room by Watering Hole Event Bars and Canapès by AP Chef.
Before dinner guests enjoyed champagne poured by the couple under the stairs. A champagne tower sets such a lux tone for the evening ahead.
The couple snuck out for some outside portraits, making the most of the light and beautiful tones when you add rain into the mix.
Nearly time to enjoy a candlelit dinner the couple saw their dinner vision come to life for the first time.
After dinner guests moved to the Pannelled Room for cocktails whilst the team turned the ballroom round for an evening of dancing.

I cannot praise Melissa, her team and Pauntley Court (PC) enough.
We were looking for venues for a whole year before we came across Pauntley Court and my gosh it was so unique.
From the very first video call with Melissa, PC just stood out. For one it is the most unique and magical place we've visited but also how wonderful Melissa was. On the initial call we were so taken with how bubbly Melissa was but also how nothing seemed too much trouble. This definitely continued throughout the entire wedding planning and on the weekend itself. Melissa would make herself available for any question we had (measuring the stretch tent, finding us an outdoor tap) - nothing seemed to phase her and she was open to anything - exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue.
Now onto PC itself - I don't really think words can do it justice. The venue is simply stunning, every corner you turn there is something else to grab at your heart and pull you to the venue.
We also adored how you had use of the venue from 12pm on the Friday until 4pm on the Sunday. It meant we could have a rehearsal on the Friday, steam all the clothing, unpack and join our wedding party for drinks and a BBQ in the lavender garden on the Friday night. While Sunday enabled us to have a leisurely start while also reliving all the memories from the last night over breakfast with our friends.
Particular loves go to:
- the grounds - mentioned in reviews time and time again but they are just gorgeous
- the ability to have your legal ceremony in multiple locations and for a non-legal wedding you have access to the whole site
- Rebecca - the best co-ordinator ever - having access to Rebecca for the day (and calls leading up to the day) really helped with the last minute panics / helped the day run smoothly
- Rachel - the most wonderful housekeeper - keeping the food flowing on the Friday and for breakfasts. She ran a very tight ship and it enabled us to just relax knowing everything was handled.
- the beautiful ballroom - this was such a fantastic place to get ready with my bridesmaids but also hold an unforgettable ceilidh
- the cupid club - a new addition but great to keep the party going
- the lake house - makes a wonderful first look location or photo setting and with the water is such a calming space
I could honestly keep singing PC's praises and hope I can visit again in some form!
