The Old Vicarage Boutique Wedding Venue

Honestly perfect. We don’t have a single bad word to say. Throughout the whole planning process, everything just felt so easy and stress free. Maia and Chelsea in particular were amazing. Nothing ever seemed to be too much trouble and all emails were responded to super quickly, always leaving us feeling reassured and calm. The venue itself is beautiful, so elegant. Our guests absolutely loved it and still cannot stop talking about how wonderful it was. On the wedding day itself, Maia and Chelsea made myself and my husband feel so special and calm. They went out of their way to make sure the day was perfect and kept checking in on us throughout the day. We honestly could not recommend this venue enough and the staff are wonderful (all staff e.g bar staff, everyone!!). The food was outstanding and we received great reviews from our guests. We genuinely believe it’s excellent value for money, the food portions were huge and not a single guest left hungry. The grounds are beautiful and made for amazing wedding photos. The day was so well organised and went so smoothly, it truly was the best day ever and we genuinely believe this was down to the staff and organisa

I am less than 2ehours after my daughter’s wedding and cannot say enough good things about the Old Vicarage. My daughter was treated so well from the planning to arrival on the day.Terms and conditions are clear and they have a routine that works excellently for all involved.My daughter and her partner had a number of one to one visits with the same person and they were there on the day to ensure everything went as planned. Everyone we met made all guests feel special.My husband asked for a drink not on the list,it was made with no fuss. The staff are around but quietly monitoring events not being obtrusive or rushing anything. The rooms are amazing. Just the best

I originally struggled finding venues for a smaller wedding, with a lot of venues looking like someone's house. For me, this venue was the standout from the start. Firstly the food is absolutely amazing, and I got so many complements from guests. The staff were so communicative from the start and they ensured the whole day

We had our wedding at The Old Vicarage using their elopement package, and it was absolutely perfect. Although the package only covers a few hours, every single moment was so thoughtfully executed — it felt like a complete celebration. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, which meant our guests could sit outside and enjoy the beautiful garden. The children especially loved it — they had space to run around and explore, which kept them happily entertained. The staff were exceptional: warm, professional, and so helpful throughout. They made everything feel seamless and relaxed. The food was also outstanding! We chose the canapés, and everyone was raving about how delicious they were. Dietary requirements were handled perfectly, with care and attention to detail. If you're considering The

Myself and my wife got married at the Old Vicarage on the 8th June 2024. After visiting a few venues, we instantly fell in love with both the venue and the staff there, who made the whole process so much less stressful. Laura was amazing throughout, acting as our Event planner through the process, and was always there to answer all our questions and make us at ease with any of our worries. The Venue and grounds are absolutely stunning with a special attention to detail which sets it apart. On the day itself Chelsea and the Team were incredible, from potentially having to switch to an indoor ceremony due to the weather, to then being able to go ahead as planned, with the outdoor ceremony, they kept us informed and managed the multiple set ups entirely, all the way through they were exceptional and even took time to settle our nerves individually. The food and drink were outstanding too with all 80 of our guests saying how much they enjoyed everything,

Great Venue, W-Coordinator Tom was very patient and knew exactly what we wanted and how to handle a wedding as crazy as ours! 360 Cameras, an Escape Room, Murder Mystery and a Piñata and Tom w

My husband and I married at The Old Vicarage in June and from start to finish it was the most amazing day. As soon as I saw the venue online I knew it was the place we would tie the knot. This was then cemented as soon as we arrived to view the venue. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful and were always willing to go the extra mile in every step of the planning. My hundreds of questions were always left answered and nothing seemed too much to deal with. Fast forward to the day and they left me with absolutely no stress, running the day exactly as planned which was a massive sigh of relief for a nervous bride! All of our guests complimented the venue and the food got amazing reviews. I’m gutted that our big day is over

My husband and I got married at the Old Vicarage on the 1st July 2023. From attending the open day and seeing the venue my husband and I fell in love with it. The grounds and rooms are stunning and the attention to detail in every way was outstanding. Laura and the team put us at ease and answered any questions we had. The day itself was incredible and all we could have wished for. Our guests also commented how wonderful this venue really is. The food was incre

Today is exactly one month to the day since I had the pleasure of witnessing the wedding of my step daughter Sophie to her partner Megan on Friday June 2nd and what a perfect day to behold. Laura and the team delivered the most professional and fist class experience in a setting that was stunning from beginning to end (enhanced by perfect weather). The attention to detail right from the moment we arrived to the venue, through to the ceremony and onto the catering was first class. Laura and her team took over the responsibility for delivering a memorable experience and excelled expectations. Truly Professional!!! When the girls first booked the venue I did have reservations about the size of the bar and how they would cope but I am happy to eat my words because the level of service was impeccable. This team really know what they are doing and operate like a well oiled machine!!!! I am not the easiest person to impress but I would have to say this experience was as close to perfect as I have experienced. Attention to detail was breathtaking with chefs delivering an excellent quality lunch (no bland wedding catering here) and even taking the time to provide a gluten free pizza to one guest as part of the evening service. As immediate family of the wedding party we had the pleasure to stay overnight and the accommodation and breakfast the following morning were impeccable. The breakfast is worth mention on its own, simply delicious!! Laura, thank you to you and your team (unfortunately I do not have their names but each and everyone of them is a credit to you) for a wonderful day. F

This venue is absolutely stunning and the team are amazing. I cannot thank Laura and the team enough for all of their hard work. The food was fantastic. The day was so well run and organised. We didn’t need to think about a thing. All our family and friends commented on how beautiful the venue is, how lovely the rooms are, how good the food

From the moment we drove up the drive to have a look around The Old Vicarage we knew it was special. The venue is absolutely beautiful both inside and out. Laura is amazing from making the booking nearly 2 years before our wedding day right up until the day after she was extremely responsive and helpful in answering many questions via email and was unbelievable when we arrived for our exclusivity the night before our wedding all the way through to us leaving the morning after our wedding-she is a machine! Always smiling, guides the team around her with expertise and professionalism so that everything just runs so smoothly. All our guests commented on the amazing venue, the rooms and the food. The food was so tasty and presented beautifully. There really is no need to worry about anything on the day Laura and her team guide you every step of the way and whatever you are unsure of they have the answer and reassurance needed. The only downside was it was all over too quickly. We really did

We got married at The Old Vicarage on the 18th March this year and I have been thinking about what to write as a review to do this place justice ever since and I’ve realised I don’t think I can actually put into words how amazing this venue, the staff and our day was. From the minute we stepped into TOV on our first visit we fell in love with the place, Laura the Events Manager is amazing and was with us right from booking through to our big day. My bridesmaids and I stayed over the evening before the wedding and it was the best decision. No request is too big, not only was I pregnant when we got married but I’d also had some health issues which meant I had to have a special diet, which TOV completely catered for to ensure I was ok throughout the day. The team really are experts in what they do. If you are thinking of booking TOV I would recommend going to an open day and meeting all of their regular and trusted suppliers, this takes loads of stress out of trying to find suppliers for the big day. Our wedding was a total dream,

Just so there are no crossed wires about the whereabouts of this venue this review is based on my dealings and service regarding our wedding booking at the Old Vicarage in Southwell, Nottingham. Laura, who is the only lady I have met at this venue due to her showing my fiancée and I around for our viewing for a potential wedding there , she was lovely, open, friendly and honest, we spent just over an hour with her one Sunday afternoon (end of Jan 2023) whilst she beamed about the venue, showed us around all of the wonderful bedrooms and she was proud to let us know she got married there. All was well and within a few days we were keen to get a booking in (paid early Feb for a wedding on a Saturday in June 2024. The old vicarage was the only venue we had viewed, we looked at various venues online so we felt the Old Vicarage was right for us due to the decor, the location and the layout of the venue plus having Laura alongside to work with. We handed over 1K to lock in a wedding date via bank transfer (should have noticed a red flag here as only bank transfer and cash were accepted) After reading all of the pages of the contract thoroughly (and there were a few) we felt really concerned. We didn’t expect such harsh and unrealistic terms and conditions. I would advise if you are planning to get married here these are the terms you and your partner need to agree with- 1. The total cost given is with and without VAT in the contract so with some and without in other parts of it so you need to work it out and read very carefully 2. Be prepared to NOT be able to taste the food they will be presenting to your guests for the wedding breakfast as they just don’t offer that piece of mind 3. No draught beer!!! Terrible for the chaps. Min card payment of £10 and no cash accepted at the bar (doesn’t matter if you were planning on paying for all but in case you decide to have a fixed figure behind the ‘bar’ this could be an issue for the odd guest 4. There are 8 bedrooms at the old vicarage, each being £195 per room (without VAT and including breakfast) so that’s £1870 total. If you would like to stay the night before your wedding (which I wanted to, you are penalised for it) so you can but for over double as much as the night of your wedding (£4200 that’s including the VAT of which I did the Math for) with zero negotiation even them not having a wedding at the venue the day before. 5. You can only arrive at the venue 1 hour before the wedding ceremony (no earlier!!) and you are limited to who comes in the bridal suite with you. So if you would like photos arriving and time to get into your wedding dress and have a glass so you are feeling nice and relaxed forget it! 6. No fridges available for your cake or flowers 7. Any staff member are within their rights to enter any of our guests bedrooms at any time and take any alcohol that has been purchased outside of the venue and will charge £50 for EACH item found. Wow! (Not that any of our guests would consider this but the old vicarage is very keen to keep the money coming in) 8. If you do for whatever reason decide to cancel you will be charged £120 per hour based on the time the wedding planner/s have spent to date 9. Further, once we had paid the £19.900 for this (of which we had to add the canapés because they forgot that cost) we get the pleasure of being charged a further ‘non-discretionary’ 3% of the whole balance to pay the staff that are on shift for our wedding day to cover their wages. 10. If you would like an outside wedding you can have it for an additional fee, that was fine with us however we were not allowed to chance it up until the day before but make a decision a week before Once I flagged all of our concerns I was told there will not be any refund of our £1000 despite them having a ‘14 day change of mind policy’ and they did not deem it necessary to even explain why. Suzanne Fitzpatrick (the owner of the venue) who I dealt with via email whilst asking if it was possible for our deposit back was a hard person and really difficult, not even an alternative or half based on the wedding being in a year and a half was even considered. The whole contract had holes in. I spoke with Suzanne for the first time over the phone today. Terribly patronising. Timeline- Paid the deposit 2nd Feb 2023 Sent back the signed event order schedule 20th Feb 2023 Cancelled the 24th having not wanted to send the terms and conditions back signed and based on all noted above she didn’t offer a compromise just said she didn’t have to give it back.

Absolute perfection as a parent to three girls your priority is for them to have a dream day and that is just what my little girl and her new husband got,cannot fault any part of the venue every

From the moment we arrived at The Old Vicarage we fell in love from the beautiful decor to the homely feel it was perfect. Laura made our planning meetings an absolute breeze, no request was too much she just wanted our day to be our vision. All the staff were incredible throughout the day and it couldn't have gone smoother, special mention to the bar staff for all the baby Guinness shots that aren't on the menu! We've had so many comments from guests about the food which was delicious, the pimms for welcome drinks also went down very well. From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much to TOV for making our wedding the most special day Richard & Jasmine Harris
