We had the best weekend imaginable, the weather was so lucky and Dragos and Lydia looked after us incredibly well, all of the guests loved Ardington House.

Honestly, we couldn't have wished for a better day, in a better venue. Everything went perfectly, everyone loved it and most importantly me and Greg loved it. I am so glad I chose Ardington, every detail made the day even more magical than we had thought, Dragos & Lydia were amazing, made the night before and the morning run as smooth as possible. Charlie and Sarah have been a pleasure to liaise with, answering all of my little questions to help me feel at ease before the big day.

We can’t stop talking about how amazing the day was! I want to say a huge thank you for everything you have done for us over the last two years in the lead up to our wedding. Your professionalism, friendliness, and organisation throughout the process were invaluable and meant that we both had such a smooth and fun planning experience.
The day itself was perfect and the house was just as stunning as we had hoped. Our family and all of our guests commented on how lovely it was. I have to say another particular thank you to Dragos and Lydia who were so perfect in every way that weekend. They were so helpful and thought of absolutely everything. It made such a big difference to myself and my friends and family having their help and friendly smiles the whole way through.
