Testimonials

We booked Pauntley Court for our intimate wedding weekend in June 2022 and we regret nothing! The venue is beyond beautiful with lovely, well-kept gardens. The rooms are also very impressive, all individually decorated with their own character. All our guests commented throughout the wedding and since returning home about how lovely the venue was. Unfortunately, we weren't able to have our wedding outside as planned, thanks to the great British weather, but the team at Pauntley were so responsive, attentive and caring about swapping round our decorations to move us inside. We want to make a special mention to Rachel, who helped us throughout the weekend to keep the house clean and tidy and also cooked us an amazing breakfast on the Sunday morning. Also, a big thank you to Rebecca and Melissa who were also fantastic, ensuring our day was perfect throughout. If you want a unique wedding venue, that no one will forget, book Pauntley court! 

Thank you so much for making our wedding day the best day of our lives.  Absolutely everything was perfect.  We were so relaxed and enjoyed every single minute of our whole time at Pauntley.  

Our friends and family couldn’t believe how beautiful the house and gardens are we really did feel so welcome and at ease.  Pauntley is such a special place

Holly was amazing! She had thought of everything, and I can’t explain how much easier the morning was knowing Holly (Wedding Coordinator) was there! We can’t recommend the whole team, enough you are all amazing.

Thank you to Rachel (Housekeeper) who was superwoman the whole few days!  Serving the canapes and gelato, to cooking us all the most delicious breakfasts and everything in-between.  You were incredible. 

We will never forget our amazing time at Pauntley – it will forever be a special place to us.

I'm not sure we have the words to express how we feel about our wedding at Pauntley Court. I haven't stopped crying since you came to say goodbye to us! 

It was the most magical, warm and beautiful experience, and wonderful to share it with our family. Our family were blown away by your beautiful house and gardens and just how special a place this is. 

Please say a huge thank you to Jules for allowing us to visit and pick some flowers and for arranging some flowers for our Mums. 

And a massive thank you to the wonderful Rachel. Rachel was amazing and even mind read on Wednesday morning! I was in bed thinking 'why didn't I ask Rachel to set up for breakfast, I don't want to do this' 

I walked across in my Pyjamas and there was Rachel cooking bread and potatoes. 

Her help made everything so much easier for us, and again our family thought she was fabulous. 

Thank you, Melissa, so much, you are so lovely and wonderful. 

Thank you so very much for letting us have the pleasure of using your beautiful home for Charlotte and Conor’s wedding.  Pauntley Court is such a wonderful place and the gardens are simply magical. All the comments I received from guests was it was the best wedding venue they had ever been to.  

Everything went so smoothly on the day so please thank Holly for her calmness and professionalism. She was wonderful. Also, thanks to Rachel for her Sunday morning breakfast it was just what we needed, and for her housekeeping of the rooms.  You are a great team. 

I can't express how perfect the day, and the whole weekend, was! We had the most wonderful day filled with love, joy and laughter. Pauntley Court was a huge part of this. It's just the most beautiful location and we will think so fondly of it forever!

Melissa and Parky are so warm, welcoming and lovely. It was a pleasure organising the day with you in the lead up to the wedding day. 

Thank you ever so much for everything! It truly was the best day of our lives, I'm not sure my words are sufficient to explain this! 

Rachel's help was invaluable, she helped so much and meant we could focus all our time on the day and spending time with friends and family, knowing she was there was such a big bonus. The breakfast Sunday morning was great!

Our wedding at Pauntley Court was all we could have imagined and more. It was the only wedding venue that felt personal, special and this was down to the obvious beauty of the house and grounds, but also Melissa and the wedding coordinator team's friendliness, knowledge and want to help in any way to make the weekend special and unique to us. It was perfect to have the venue Friday to Sunday meaning 20 people all staying at the venue could spend lots of time together pre and post wedding. The options for the wedding ceremony and meal setting at the venue were endless too making it feel personal to what we wanted. Finally, the suppliers that Melissa recommended were incredible in quality and friendly service. This helped for very easy planning and on the day, things running so smoothly as all the suppliers knew one another so just got on with setting up etc! We can't recommend Pauntley Court and Melissa's family and team enough for weddings or staying at the beautiful venue!!

Our dream was always to have a small wedding with our closest family members and Pauntley Court was the perfect venue. Melissa, Holly and Rachel supported us to make our wedding, and weekend stay, truly special. Our family was blown away by the beauty of the house and gardens. We would recommend Melissa and Pauntley Court to any couples looking for a romantic and intimate wedding venue.

Our wedding weekend at Pauntley Court was simply magical. The house was a perfect base for our close family and friends for the weekend, everyone was in awe of the beautiful interiors and attention to detail throughout. We enjoyed a relaxed supper in the spacious kitchen the evening before the wedding itself, followed by some drinks in front of the fire in the lounge afterward. On the wedding morning, the bridal party had breakfast and got ready in the well-lit ballroom, it was a serene atmosphere, which was only complemented with the views out of the garden through the window. 

We used the gardens for our wedding reception, the guests loved adventuring into to the different areas and seeing the spring flowers which had just started to bloom. The little bridesmaids were in their absolute element, playing hide and seek amongst the box hedges.

Melissa and team went out of their way to make our wedding weekend absolutely perfect in every way, we couldn’t thank them more and we are just sad now that it’s all over! We can’t wait to find another excuse to book Pauntley Court and come back!

From the moment we arrived at Pauntley we totally fell in love with it. It is so unique and like nothing else we had looked at. Melissa is so lovely and was really helpful throughout our planning - it always felt so personal. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. It was also great to have Holly's help, particularly on the day for any last-minute jobs that needed sorting before or during the afternoon.

 We arrived on the Thursday night with our parents and had the main house from Friday lunchtime for the weekend. This worked really well for us as it meant we had lots of time to decorate the marquee and sort the final details before the big day so the build up was stress free and meant we could enjoy it! We honestly had the most amazing weekend and everyone said how magical Pauntley was. The house and its surroundings are simply beautiful and it is the perfect setting for a wedding.

 A huge thank you to Melissa and her family for welcoming us into their home and sharing their little slice of heaven - it will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we can't wait to visit again.
