Horsley Lodge Full Description
Since 1990 the former Manor House has been lovingly restored by the Salt family, retaining all of the original character and charm - from the sweeping drive in to the exposed limestone walls and original tiled floors. Set in the foothills of the Peak District on the picturesque 180 acre golf course and surrounded by green fields and wildflower meadows, this beautiful venue will have you and your guests feeling a million miles away from the rest of the world. From the moment you arrive you will enjoy exclusive use of the Amber Suite and adjoining atrium. As a family run business, we treat every wedding as if it was our own. Your experienced, passionate and dedicated wedding co-ordinator will be on hand, from the planning to your big day, to ensure all aspects of your wedding are as perfect as you’ve dreamed. With two licensed rooms we are the perfect venue for civil weddings and partnerships of any size. For smaller weddings our Old Restaurant room provides an intimate, romantic space and for larger weddings our Amber Suite can accommodate up to 120 guests for your ceremony. The Amber Suite is a large and airy reception space perfect for dining and dancing. This Suite offers an opportunity to enjoy the courtyard which leads from the atrium where the reception drinks can be served. Your guests can enjoy canapés as they take in the stunning views of the golf course and countryside beyond, before moving inside for a mouth-watering wedding breakfast. Celebrate at the end the day dancing the night away with your guests. Our Amber Suite offers the perfect party space with a private bar serving an impressive selection of drinks. The dedicated wedding co-ordinator will help plan your wedding and make sure that everything goes smoothly. Horsley Lodge offers a total of 14 en-suite bedrooms within the Lodge House and the three-story limestone cottages in its grounds. The Bride and Groom are offered a complimentary luxury suite for your wedding night.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Laura Ryder
Hi Im Laura, I am the Wedding Coordinator here at Horsley Lodge. I absolutely adore what I do, the team here do say I am married to my job, and to be honest, it's probably true. From meeting our couples, planning their day with them, seeing them have the most fabulous day with us, to seeing them leave as Mr & Mrs the morning after. It is just so magical and a huge honour to be able to be part of their day.

Amazing Wedding Day
We had visited several Wedding venues in the Derby East and West Midlands areas, but only Horsley Lodge ticked all the boxes and on the day they more than lived up to our expectations, in fact I would go as far as to say they exceeded our expectations and as parents you always wonder if it will all go to plan and it most certainly did. The Horsley Lodge Wedding Co-ordinator Laura and Tom were just brilliant and so helpful and went above and beyond and they just knew what was expected and what was needed and they had it all sorted from the moment everyone started to arrive.

Simply Outstanding
We couldn't recommend Horsley Lodge enough as a venue for weddings. We got married last week and it was such an amazing day. The venue is very picturesque, and was lovely for photographs. We arrived on the Thursday evening (night before the wedding), and had dinner in the restaurant, which was top quality. The service was fantastic, and we had such a nice relaxing night. The day itself ran so smoothly, with Laura and Tom on hand, who catered for all of our requests and were just brilliant. All of the family and friends attended commented on how warm and welcoming they both were, and again made the day so special with their personal touches. Special thank you to Laura for being so accommodating in our changes. It wasn't easy planning a wedding through COVID, with the uncertainty etc, but she took so much weight off our shoulders, and was very flexible with us. So thank you to you all once again for making our day one to remember. The new Mr and Mrs Forsdike

Our Wedding
We had a great experience here for our wedding. We got married in June 2021 (after having to postpone it 3 times due to covid). Laura and Rachel were so helpful and nothing seemed to be a problem. We stayed in the salt suite for two nights which was absolutely lovely! We ate in the restaurant the night before and the food was great. Laura and Tom were great at organising and sorting everything for us on our wedding day. Everyone commented on how picturesque Horsley Lodge was and how lovely the room was. The wedding breakfast was absolutely delicious. All in all, a wonderful day had by everyone and a perfect weekend for us!

Frequently Asked Questions
(10)

Describe the best wedding that happened at Horsley Lodge?

Oh wow, too many to choose from. The best weddings are when the Bride and Groom are totally relaxed and just enjoying their day. The planning and preparation has all been done, so there really is nothing more to think about than each other and the guests having the most fantastic day. Leave everything else up to us on the day!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Remember that it's YOUR day, design the wedding you've always dreamed of. I know it's easier said than done, but don't stress! You're planning the biggest day day of your life, enjoy it.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

I do like it when our couples have a little unique surprise for their guests, it doesn't have to be big or extravagant, sometimes the small things are the best, but something that just 'wows' the guests is always a fantastic way to put a personal touch on your day.
