Description

Welcome to Orange Tree House where we specialise in making your wedding day one to truly remember. Orange Tree House is a private wedding venue nestled on the shores of Strangford Lough in the pretty village of Greyabbey. With the oldest parts being over 200 years old, the venue is steeped in history and has a wonderful atmosphere. The property has been lovingly restored and, should you choose to have your wedding here, you will be helping us to preserve this important building for future generations to enjoy   We believe in "Your day, your way". Whether you opt for a traditional, elegant wedding or take a more alternative approach, we will endeavour to accommodate your plans. We provide all of your catering, bar, furniture, tableware etc. so all you need to do is choose your date, menu and drinks then relax and enjoy your day.   As well as having the beautiful stone barn style banqueting room with its exposed beams at your disposal, you and your guests can enjoy the Orangerie with its open fire. You can sip a cocktail or two in our stunning guest lounge which overlooks Strangford Lough (a designated area of outstanding natural beauty) and onwards towards Whiterock Bay, with the Dromara Hills and the Mourne Mountains as a backdrop. Here you can also relax and enjoy the amazing sunsets, whatever the weather.   The function room can comfortably accommodate up to 130 guests for ceremonies and dinner with room for extra evening guests up to a total of around 160. We are also perfect for more intimate weddings with smaller guest numbers. We have over 100 bed spaces within a 5 minute radius, many within walking distance and are located half an hour from Belfast.   We would be delighted to show you around and discuss your plans!

We didn't have to worry about a single thing.
Our dream day was made possible by everyone at Orange Tree. The day was above and beyond what we both could have imagined, everything was absolutely perfect. On the lead up, Chelsea was at hand to answer any queries and on the day Michael was amazing and so attentive in ensuring we were having the best day possible. The food was also incredible! We had so many compliments on the venue, the staff and everything in between so thank you to everyone at Orange Tree.

Orange Tree was just the most stunning place to be
We couldn't imagine a better wedding day that was totally tailored to us and it's largely down to the talented team at Orange Tree House! From the quick responses to queries along the way from Chelsea, to Michael keeping the day running so smoothly, and the fantastic way you worked with all of our vendors, we couldn't be more thankful. We have had so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was, the amazing food and how relaxed the day felt from start to finish.

Honestly, it was an unbelievable day.
Just wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU so much for everything you done for our special day! It was absolutely amazing - the staff were so friendly and organised, the venue was set up in the most beautiful way and the logistically, it went exactly as we hoped. You helped Alan and I feel at ease throughout and we have heard nothing but great things from our guests about the day. I don't think we can put into enough words to show how much we appreciated everything. Thank you so much!

It was just a dream come true!
We wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for going above and beyond to make our wedding day so special. From the moment we first stepped foot in Orange Tree House, we knew it was the place for us. From the beautiful location with views over the Mournes and the Lough, to the lovely, welcoming staff, delicious food and how seamlessly you ran the whole day- it was just a dream come true. We knew we could rely on you to make our vision a reality.

Keep doing what you do - you make magic.
That was the best day of our lives. Thanks to your expertise, attention to detail and dedication. From start to finish the whole experience was flawless. From Chelsea, the font of knowledge, answering our endless emails and calming our nerves in the planning process, to Michael keeping everything running so smoothly on the day whilst also just being a true gent and great craic throughout - we were in the best hands! We are so glad we trusted you with the most important day of of our lives.

The best wedding venue in the most magical spot!
We just wanted to reach out to say thank you again for making our wedding day so amazing! Planning a wedding from the other side of the world seemed virtually impossible and potentially very stressful but you guys made it so easy - you were always so responsive and willing to help (even allowing us to view the the venue by FaceTime and answering our probably obscure questions)! On the day you are like a well oiled machine, everything ran on time and we didn’t need to worry about a thing!

The staff took such wonderful care of us all
We wanted to share some kind words with you about how special our day was. We first saw The Orange Tree House on a cold, rainy foggy March day and venue still stood out as stunning... the staff were really the key ingredient as what made the day so special. The pride that they took in their work showed in all aspects. The food was sublime with generous portions, the time line of the day also ran so smoothly – it honestly felt magic on occasion...the staff took such wonderful care of us all.

We couldn't recommend your beautiful venue enough!
We just wanted to send a quick email to say a big thank-you to everyone at Orange Tree House! 22nd October 2022 is a day that we will never forget and a huge part of that is every member of staff that works within your beautiful venue. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left nothing seemed like hassle. Every single member of staff showed so much kindness to every guest, including our doggo, Cooper! Dinner was incredible and the food was served piping hot. Thank you all!
