A fantastic day ensued for Callum & Lana’s big day with their ceremony taking place on the front lawn of Ardwell House.
The intimate and romantic setting continued a short stroll to the walled garden where the reception and dinner was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
The party soon followed in the marquee bringing everyone together to celebrate the joy and love of this wonderful couple’s entry into married life.
•
We would like to congratulate Callum & Lana and wish them all the best for the future 🥂

It may have rained, it may have poured, but nothing could dull the shine from this charming couple's special day ❤️

"We had the most perfect wedding day at Ardwell Glasshouse, a lovely venue set in beautiful picturesque gardens on the family’s estate.

Grace and her team were so attentive and their attention to detail was second to none. Our day was perfectly coordinated in every way from the decor to the beautiful food which ensured that it was special and one to remember.

We would like to thank everyone at Ardwell Estate for all their help with the planning and fulfilment of our perfect day."

We would like to thank Martin and Julie for their wonderful words. They were fantastic to work with and we wish them all the best for their future. Many congratulations to them!

“To Grace & the team at Ardwell Glasshouse.

We cannot begin to thank-you enough for helping us have the most special wedding day. It was everything we had hoped for and so much more! The entire venue is just so beautiful and an absolute dream. Both we and our guests loved every minute of it, with many commenting on just how stunning the place is. The effort that went into our day was incredible, it was perfect start to finish. Best day ever!”

Our wreath making workshop was a hit on Sunday. The session was led by Sarah Nicholson who demonstrated the step by step layering of foliage involved to create such showpieces.
She was also joined by Karin Smith- Ardwell Estates very own Head Gardener for further horticultural advice for our guests.

Christmas treats along with festive drinks were thoroughly enjoyed and our ten participants each finished their beautiful wreaths. We wish them all a very happy Christmas and New Year!

•TESTIMONIAL- JAMIE & CAITLIN•

“Ardwell Glasshouse was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Set in the beautiful gardens, we couldn't have had a more picturesque backdrop for our photographs.

Grace and David offered such a tailored service, allowing us to make our wedding day everything we had imagined and more. Our guests were blown away with the unique experience offered at the Glasshouse.

It felt really special to have the full surroundings available for the day and gave us a lot of freedom in planning what we wanted.

We are very grateful for all the staff at Ardwell Glasshouse, and truly appreciate all the time and hard work that they put into making our day so special. We hope to be back as a guest soon and highly recommend Ardwell Glasshouse for any special event.”

We would like to thank the happy couple for their kind words and wish them all the best for the future💛

•MARQUEE •
Where once an old chicken shed stood, it provided the perfect spot for our newest addition of a marquee.
Situated only a few steps from the main Glasshouse, it has provided the opportunity for larger wedding and events to take place within the walled garden.
We thank all those involved for making this happen and look forward to hosting a lifetime of celebrations 🥂
