  • Everyone at Preston Court were so helpful, friendly and made our wedding day in October so very special. It is an amazing and beautiful venue and we couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else. Everyone at the wedding commented on how unique the venue was and how lovely the staff were. Thank you for making our day so wonderful and one we will remember forever.

  • "The ceremony took place outside in the gardens, on ‘Juliana’s Island’ situated in the lake at Preston Court, we were lucky enough to have beautiful sunshine. Our guests sat on the bank opposite."

  • ''Preston Court is such a magical venue – the perfect mix of pretty gardens, rural charm and elegance, and so much fun without pretension. The mechanical organs, the Victorian carousel, the barnyard, the Showmans wagon….all our guests could not stop saying how wonderful it was.''

  • Everyone LOVED the venue, we had so many people say it was the best wedding they'd been to and that they couldn't get over how amazing Preston Court was. The garden was stunning and everyone loved the carousel, the organs and the peacocks. We loved being able to spread the reception between the grassy bit and the courtyard and I think the guests loved it too. We can't believe how lucky we were with the weather, it all looked stunning. We were very sad to leave yesterday after collecting our stuff thinking it would likely be our last time there.
