OUR STORY

Wedding: Beth & Luke

“On a crisp April afternoon, we discovered Teybrook Orchard, a hidden gem. Despite the bare branches and moody clouds, it instantly felt like the only choice for our celebration. With a breathtaking woodland setting and Luke’s arboricultural expertise, it was the perfect canvas for our ceremony. While a marquee loomed as a backup plan, the weather deities smiled upon us on the day, graciously bypassing the rain that had teased us in the weeks leading to our August wedding. Teybrook Orchard, with its assortment of unique dwellings and cabins, became the haven for our nearest and dearest, complete with a pre-wedding hot tub.”
Wedding: Nicole & Sid

Nicole and Sid exchanged vows in the picturesque outdoor setting of Chalkney Water Meadows. Captivated by the natural beauty, their pontoon ceremony overlooked the water and was surrounded by their loved ones, making for a truly picturesque wedding setting.
“We chose our venue due to the natural beauty of the whole place; we felt like we were miles away from anything, and the pontoon was a dream!
We wanted orange/yellow tones with greens and lots of natural, rustic elements to match the venue yet something unique and unusual. We wanted it to be as laid back and eco-conscious as possible. It all felt so bright and so us.”
Corporate Event: Big Potato Games

“Our team at Big Potato Games had a fab experience at Browning Bros for our summer party in 2021. Having the entire place to ourselves was a real treat. The bell tents were absolutely lovely – spacious, secluded, and perfectly situated so if you went to bed early you weren't disturbed by noise at the main communal area.
There was plenty of space to play outdoor games and chill. The cosy campfire area was also great as it got later into the evening. Even the toilet and shower facilities were good!
Big thanks to the Browning Bros team for giving us such a memorable summer party. We couldn't have asked for a better venue.”
