My top 3 reason why I love The Orchard

My top 3 reason why I love to photograph at The Orchard is

1. Organisation - this may sound silly, but I always like to visit a venue that I have not been to before and from the first contact through to arranging a pre-wedding shoot for my couple, the Orchard team were so helpful. The Orchard team was happy to arrange a suitable date and time, allowing me to have a private tour of the venue, answering any questions I had and giving me access to permitted areas. Wedding day the team is always available and over looking all detail of your wedding day, making it run as perfect as you have always thought. 5 star service

2. Areas to get married - The Orchard has 3 areas you can getting married in, you can choose from either the beautiful garden gazebo overlooking the rolling hills, surrounded by lush greenery for the start of your special day or maybe you would prefer our stunning water terrace ceremony which provides the most magical fairy lit backdrop or if your prefer a indoors service , then they can offer a stunning main suite, with our breath-taking draped fairy lit ceiling and ornate, plush interior decoration. You would marry on a raised platform before all your guests in our large and spacious main area, showcasing your perfect union. The venue really does cater for all people.

3. The lake - A short walk out of the orchard is a peaceful lake, with ducks ands swans swimming around. (TIP I bring duck food to bribe the swans to pose lol )it is a lovely break for you and your husband or wife to have time to yourself aways form your guests and just take it all in.

3-5 minute walk and it is so worth doing. Staff are always happy to help your going down to the lake, but that is the orchard staff go above and beyond for you on your day.

I love this area of the Orchard, The water terrance is both beautiful in the day time and also at night. In the day time with the blue sky behind you and the flowers blossoming you really feel lost. But at night the water terrace is transformed in to a fairy light haven. It is one of my favourite place to capture moments of your wedding day.
