We’ve Been Shortlisted for the Guides for Brides Customer Service Awards 2026

We’re absolutely thrilled to share some exciting news—Heathy Lea has been shortlisted for the Guides for Brides Customer Service Awards 2026!

Being recognised in these prestigious awards is a huge honour, especially as they celebrate what matters most to us: exceptional customer service and unforgettable wedding experiences.

A Proud Moment for Heathy Lea

The Guides for Brides Customer Service Awards are entirely based on feedback from real couples. That means every review, kind word and recommendation from those who’ve celebrated with us has played a part in getting us shortlisted. To be recognised alongside some of the top rated wedding venues in the UK is incredibly rewarding.

Our shortlisting category—Woodland, Orchard and Vineyard Wedding Venues—perfectly reflects what makes Heathy Lea so special. Nestled in the heart of the Derbyshire countryside, our venue offers a truly immersive natural setting for couples dreaming of a relaxed, romantic and meaningful wedding day.

One of the Most Loved Derbyshire Wedding Venues

As one of the most unique Derbyshire wedding venues, Heathy Lea has always been about more than just beautiful surroundings (although we have plenty of those!). From our charming former game-keepers cottage to our views across Chatsworth parkland and oak tree blessings, every corner of the venue is peaceful and deeply connected to nature.

But what really sets us apart—and what this award shortlisting recognises—is the care we put into every couple’s journey.

We know planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, which is why we focus on:

• Friendly, responsive and genuinely supportive communication, with limited wedding bookings per year

• Flexibility to help couples create a day that feels like them by enabling endless combinations of suppliers

• Thoughtful touches that turn a wedding into a once-in-a-lifetime experience, such as on-site accommodation for up to 24 people, and unique views across the Chatsworth estate

It’s this approach that has helped us become a 5 star rated Guides for Brides wedding venue for couples seeking something a little different in Derbyshire.

Thank You to Our Incredible Couples

This shortlisting wouldn’t be possible without the amazing couples who’ve chosen Heathy Lea for their celebrations. Your trust, feedback and kind reviews mean the world to us. Knowing that our efforts have made your wedding planning experience smoother, happier and more memorable is the greatest reward we could ask for.

We also want to say a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful suppliers and team members who help bring every wedding to life. Creating exceptional experiences is always a team effort.

What This Means for Future Couples

If you’re currently searching for Derbyshire wedding venues, this shortlisting is a wonderful reassurance that you’re in safe hands. It reflects our ongoing commitment to outstanding service, attention to detail and creating weddings that feel relaxed, joyful and completely personal.

Looking Ahead to 2026

Being shortlisted for the Guides for Brides Customer Service Awards 2026 is an exciting milestone for us, and we’re so proud of how far Heathy Lea has come.
