We are delighted to have been recognised among the UK’s best venues, winning in Stately, Castles and Mansions at the Guides for Brides Customer Service Awards 2026, selected from hundreds of wedding businesses across the UK, with winners chosen based on real customer reviews, service excellence and consistency.
The Guides for Brides Customer Service Awards celebrate outstanding customer experience across the UK wedding industry. Powered by real reviews left by couples on guidesforbrides.co.uk throughout 2025, the awards highlight businesses that consistently deliver exceptional service at every stage of the wedding journey.
Nikita Thorne, Head of Strategy at Guides for Brides and wedding industry expert, said:
“Couples are entering the wedding planning process more informed and more discerning than ever before, and they expect genuine care, clear communication and consistency at every touchpoint. This year’s awards have highlighted just how many businesses are rising to meet that expectation. From our winners and highly commended recipients to every finalist, we’ve seen a shared dedication to going above and beyond for couples, creating experiences that feel personal, seamless and memorable.”
Leigh Court stood out for their commitment to delivering a seamless and supportive experience for couples, reflected in consistently high review ratings and glowing feedback from real weddings.
One couple described their experience:
“We fell in love with Leigh Court as soon as we saw it. The grand architecture is stunning with the natural surroundings. Each room has a unique style and there are so many original features. The ceremony room with the suspended staircase, beautiful tiled floor, high ceiling and even a gold church organ was our favourite space. The fact we could get legally married there was just perfect! It’s a wedding venue with excellent organisation as well as beauty. Claire, and her team, were so helpful from the start and speaking with her made us feel confident. She is an experienced wedding venue coordinator and knows exactly how to make sure your day goes smoothly…The whole team were helpful, friendly and professional. We had the best day of our lives and felt totally relaxed as we knew everything was being sorted for us by the team and other suppliers. We didn’t need to stress or worry. We just glided around our wedding in total bliss!..We had so many compliments from our guests on the location, Manor House and smooth organisation of the whole event…We feel so lucky we chose them for our special day!”
Claire Shea, Sales Manager at Leigh Court said:
“We are absolutely delighted to have won this award. It means so much because it’s based on real feedback from our couples, and their experience is at the heart of everything we do. Delivering exceptional service is one of our core priorities at Leigh Court, and our team works incredibly hard to ensure every couple feels supported, confident and truly able to enjoy their day. To be recognised in this way, particularly as we were finalists last year, is something we’re very proud of.”
