St John the Evangelist, is just steps away from the front door of The Main House and provides the ultimate setting for an intimate church wedding ceremony. The Norman church was one of the key features of our recent photoshoot and has been beautifully captured by

Pauntley’s church is very special in its capacity to hold up to 100 guests, but also offers complete intimacy for weddings of just 16 or 20, making it truly unique. If you are unable to commit to visit six times before the big day, but would still like to experience the magic of the church, you could have a Blessing which is a beautiful way to honour your marriage without the formal religious commitment.

Flowers form a key part of any church wedding, and for our shoot, and a wonderful team of florists used seasonal, British grown blooms, mainly sourced from to create a striking archway, elegant alter flowers and a brilliant bouquet for our model bride. Also, as sustainability is hugely important to us, the floral installations were designed to be repurposed throughout the day; the archway moved to our Stretch Tent for the wedding breakfast, the indoor flowers became vases for the tables and bouquets were given to the florists at the end of the day (although at a real wedding, you could give them to your guests to take home).

We have written a blog about our fabulous photoshoot day and you can find the link to it in our stories from today.

With these recent spells of rain we have been having, we wanted to say that there is no need to worry if the weather isn’t as sunny as you were hoping for on your wedding day. We have so many beautiful spaces for every aspect of your big day! ☔️😊

Our Stretch Tent brings an indoor/outdoor feel where you can have your civil or celebrant led ceremony. It also makes a good spot for drinks, cake cutting or your wedding breakfast.

Pauntley Court’s characterful indoor rooms are wonderful for the Intimate wedding. The Panelled Room is licensed for up to 20 or perfect for post-ceremony drinks in front of the huge open fire. If you are having a small wedding and are looking for a really unique space for your wedding breakfast, The Flower Room can provide just that, with its beautiful mural by artist and individually designed bar.

The timeless Ballroom, is another spectacular space and perfect for your ceremony or wedding breakfast and no matter the weather, dancing will always take place in this elegant and refined room. 💃

From the ground, Pauntley Court is often described as a magnificent maze, with surprises waiting around every corner and we couldn’t agree more! But seeing it from above truly takes your breath away. ✨

We are incredibly proud of our gardens and the wonderful team who work tirelessly to keep them looking so beautiful all year round, all led by Melissa's amazing mother, Christine. 🌸🌿

Here are some recent snaps from a bird’s-eye view… we absolutely love them! 🕊️

A huge thank you to the talented photographers:

..."it has a soul that you can feel as soon as you step on the grounds"...

Long story short - if you are making a wedding venue decision, look no further.
I waited 6 months before leaving a review to make sure im not just riding on high emotions after the wedding. But truthfully, all the high emotions are still there because this place was so perfect. We fell in love with Pauntley Court at first sight even though we visited during a gloomy rainy afternoon in December. Not even for a second at any point it felt like a commercial “venue”, it has a soul that you can feel as soon as you step on the grounds.

Our guests travelled from all over the world and Pauntley Court was so perfect to show them the English experience. Everyone was so impressed by the house, rooms and the beautiful gardens.

Melissa was so incredibly kind in every way since the moment we met her the first time. Absolutely nothing felt like too much to ask for neither during preparation nor on the day.

We had the wedding day exactly the way we wanted, absolutely everything could be done like we imagined - from choosing the ceremony space among multiple options to arranging dinner the night before. The most magical time however happened after the wedding when guests staying in the house gathered in the kitchen having tea and leftover cake, you can’t create a core memory like this in most of other wedding venues.

Another highlight was the amazing Rachel. At first I didn’t fully believe the reviews about how great she was, and I admittedly was quite skeptical if one person would be able to manage everything we wanted. And how wrong I was to ever doubt! Rachel ran the show so seamlessly and impeccable as if there was a team of 10. Our guests loved her as much as we did.

We can’t wait to go back to Pauntley for our anniversary. Thank you Melissa and all the team for making memories of a lifetime for us!

When the stars align and our couples and their guests get to dine outside it feels even more special as we know the British weather can ofter throw a curve ball.

We can't wait for alfresco dining again this summer. 🌸

🌷Kate and Matt’s Intimate Spring wedding🌷

It has been just under a year since Kate and Matt’s beautiful wedding here and what a wonderful day they had with 32 of their closest family and friends.

They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony on the Ceremony Lawn in the spring sunshine ☀️with their celebrant and large vases of flowers thoughtfully created by followed by drinks provided by under the Stretch Tent.

Spring blooms 🌸 were present at every opportunity, and don’t they look fabulous adorning the Main Stairs and the wedding breakfast table?

We wish Kate and Matt a very Happy Anniversary for Sunday! 💕
