We're so proud of our team and the exceptional level of service they deliver we just can't resist sharing a few words about them from our happy couples...

" We could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we chose Leigh Court the staff were friendly, relaxed and so patient with all our questions! They made the lead up to our wedding as stress free as possible and added our decorations beautifully to their already stunning venue. Then throughout the day, the team along with the Berry Blue caterers made it an absolute dream come true and supported us in every step of the day, making sure we were relaxed and enjoying ourselves for every moment." - Steph Edwards

"Fabulous venue. Beautiful grounds. Amazing food. Mark the Event Manager was excellent. He was very helpful and catered to our every need. He helped to make the day very special for everyone. Couldn't fault anything. I'd give it ten stars if I could!" - Flora Wragg

"What a perfect venue. When my husband and i were looking for our wedding venue we fell in love with Leigh Court on sight. Everyone at Leigh Court was very helpful. The theme was steampunk Alice in Wonderland and this included having teapot racing and an aerial hoop display. Lauren was incredibly helpful, making sure this wouldn't be a problem and the best place to do it. Mark and Lisa were on hand on the day to calm nerves and made sure Simon and I could concentrate on the day. I highly recommended Leigh Court as a venue, especially if you want to do something a little different because they will help you every step of the way." - Julia Williams

"We had our wedding here last month and it really was the most beautiful day. Lauren was so helpful and answered all questions I had leading up to the big day & Suzie was amazing on the day itself and made sure I had nothing to worry about and could enjoy the day to its fullest. The way everything was presented, the food and the venue left us both & our guests so happy, we just wish we could do it all again!" - Emma and Jason

Top Wedding Tips

Always plan ahead. It may seem like your wedding date is in the very distant future, but it will come around quicker than you think. Avoid stress by booking your venue early.

Ask your venue for their recommended suppliers. It can be overwhelming trying to find suppliers for every aspect of your special day, but your venue should be able to give you a great starting point.

Rely on your bridesmaids. Planning a wedding shouldn't make you want to rip your hair out. Rely on your bridesmaids to help share the load and for a second opintion when you just can't decide!

The Best Day of Our Lives
Where do we begin. From the moment we stepped foot in Leigh Court, met Claire, and had her describe in so much detail what we could expect our wedding to be like, we could not picture getting married anywhere else. We had found 'the one'.

We couldn't believe that we would have sole access to all those beautiful rooms for our special day. Each room had it's own unique selling point, especially The Great Hall and The Tapestry Room. We loved the flow of the layout and how you could utilise each room.

The communication with Claire was always easy, we had quick responses and she was amenable to any of our requests.

Having viewed quite a few venues, we found Leigh Court to be very reasonable in price and we couldn't believe our luck, seeing as it is such a stunning venue.

We had a change in caterers but Epic Caterers were extremely flexible with honouring our previous agreements and provided top class food!

The venue held an evening fayre where they had all their recommended suppliers and we found this immensely useful as we booked a company to dress the venue and booked our DJ for the evening. Shout out to Something Borrowed and Kieran Clarke Entertainment who did an incredible job. We would definitely suggest going to one of these events if you've booked Leigh Court for your wedding. On their list of recommended suppliers, we found Betty Bhandari, an AMAZING photographer who we can't thank enough for capturing our magical day.

We had Giles look after us on our wedding day who ensured everything ran smoothly. He was so knowledgeable and was on top of absolutely everything behind the scenes, meaning we could relax and enjoy our day. We felt that we were in very good hands with both Giles & Claire.

Overall, our wedding day went so smoothly and it truly was one of the best days of our lives.

We would without a doubt recommend Leigh Court. 10/10.

A brilliant day!
Claire has been brilliant to work with from start to finish, with a real eye for detail and great organisational skills. She really helped us finetune the details of our wedding reception at Leigh Court, being so responsive throughout. The venue was stunning and even on a rainy day we had so many beautiful rooms indoors to pick from as well as being able to do our first dance and some Greek dancing in the Great Hall. Thank you to the team at Leigh Court and to Epic Catering for bringing our Greek menu ideas to life!

The best day of our lives! Couldn't have had a better venue!
Leigh Court was the First and Only venue my Husband and I visited while planning our dream wedding. From the moment we walked into the building, we absolutely loved the atmosphere and the design, and it ticked every single box for us. From Booking in our date, all the way up until the Day before, Claire was an absolute gem, and really went above and beyond for us. On the day, Giles was amazing at orchestrating everything, and ensuring our day went off without any issues. I really cannot fault Leigh Court at all, they are amazing at what they do, and because of them, My Husband and I had the wedding of our dreams. If I could rate them 100 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you to everyone at Leigh Court, especially Claire and Giles, for making us very very happy newlyweds!
