We had a great day at The Orchid Hotel for our wedding reception. The food was amazing, the service was fantastic, and the location is beautiful.
Would definitely recommend The Orchid Hotel to any brides out there looking for a boutique venue. Helen and the team were brilliant!

Amazing Wedding Day
I had the pleasure of having my wedding and reception at The Orchid Hotel, I have to say everything was perfect! Helen, George and all of the other staff did a great job in ensuring the day went smoothly from start to finish. Everything from the presentation of the lovely Paloma Suite and Aurelia Suite to the food served during the wedding breakfast was brilliant.
Attention to detail was on point and everything went seamlessly thanks to everyone working on that day. The wedding breakfast, canapes and evening buffet were all lovely.
We had a fantastic day and the staff were great. All of the rooms we reserved for wedding guests were very well presented and clean. The Master Room was lovely and very comfortable. The feedback from our family was stunning and we all loved this venue. This hotel is a perfect place to host a wedding celebration.
We have made some wonderful memories from the day and we certainly could not be happier. We would happily relive the day over and over again.
We look forward to returning to the hotel and restaurant, we would definitely recommend. Thank you!!

A Perfect Wedding Day
Thank you to Helen and team for our perfect wedding day.
All our requests were listened to and executed with professionalism. We naturally made changes along the way and it was with ease that these were implemented.
A lovely boutique hotel and wonderful ambience. Friendly and professional staff and Helen was always calm and reassuring.
The food, wine and service was exceptional and a choice of rooms to suit your specific needs.
We were also fortunate to be able to enjoy the outside patio area through to the evening.
The Orchid Hotel was recommended to us and we recommend it to you.

Hopefully we wont get married again- but if we do.....
As with all sensible grooms, I let the bride have maximal control and governance over the choice of venue. And im really glad I did, as the Orchid was AMAZING! Helen and all the staff did everything they could to help us feel at ease from the off. All the planning was made simple for us, and some of our special requirements were met with minimal fuss or hassle. Our families and guests all loved the decor and even though the weather was terrible (we mean really, really bad) all day it was still the perfect venue as everyone mingled indoors. We cant thank everyone there enough and have got lots of happy memories of our special day :-)
