We had our wedding almost a month ago at Orsett Hall and it was perfect. Everything was seamless and we felt really looked after the whole time. All our guests said how great the venue was and the food was delicious. Thank you to the staff who helped us throughout and everyone else who looked after us in the Blue and Gold rooms!
