What a beautiful and professional venue. We used Ardington House as our filming location for an upcoming television show. It was extremely refreshing to have an A* Team of staff who were personable and nothing was too much trouble. Strongly recommend using Ardington House as your venue, whether that be for telly, a wedding or private function. Everything was flawless. Thank you Charlie, Sharon, Jason, Debbie, Naomi and everyone else we met across the two days! x

My daughters wedding held at Ardington House on the 23rd Sept, was without doubt a magical experience and was better than my wildest dreams could have hoped for. The house, its rooms its grounds are glorious, every eventuality catered for, steeped in history but comfortable and homely. The smallest of detail thought of, comfy beds, thick towels, beautiful toiletries even posh loo roll in every bathroom and wc. We had three unforgettable days and I would highly recommend Ardington and all its people.

I was lucky enough to get married at Ardington House in August 2021 and it is the most wonderful wedding venue - not only is it stunning (the house and grounds are beyond beautiful and so well maintained), but the service and the team are so thoughtful and helpful. Wedding planning is always stressful, but throw in three COVID-related postponements, and I was a bag of nerves. But Charlie and the Ardington team kept me calm and went over and above to make sure everything was perfect - and it really, really was. Our wedding day was everything I had ever dreamed of and more.

Ardington House was the perfect location for our wedding: the island was a picturesque spot for an intimate ceremony and the Georgian-style house was a magical setting for our reception and photographs it was like a fairy-tale! The staff worked tirelessly throughout the entire planning process and on the day (including two date rearrangements due to Covid-19). Their enthusiasm and support made us feel that they cared as much about our wedding day as we did. We would 100% recommend Ardington House for a beautiful and memorable wedding of any size.
