WHAT OUR COUPLES SAY
At Healthy Lea, every wedding is as unique and special as the couple at its heart. Nestled in the tranquil beauty of the Peak District, our setting has played host to countless unforgettable “I dos.” But don’t just take our word for it - here’s what some of our wonderful brides and grooms have shared about their day. From emotional ceremonies to joyful celebrations under the stars, these heartfelt words speak to the magic that unfolds here.
"We chose Heathy Lea as our wedding venue this year and we are so pleased we did so. The location is brilliant and views amazing.
Since we first looked around, the team have been so so hospitable and helpful through the whole planning process and helped contribute to a fantastic celebration for the family.
We used the accommodation which was perfect and all the guests had a brilliant long weekend exploring the greenery and fresh air.
We’d highly recommend to anyone looking to visit the area for a break or hosting an event."

"We had our wedding at Heathy Lea just in June and it was truly magical.
We found Heathy Lea through our photographer's Instagram and I couldn't have imagined a more perfect venue for us: the location, accommodation and DIY/build your own wedding aspect meant that we curated a wedding that was reflected us perfectly as a couple. It also helped that Sally and James who run Heathy Lea are just the most wonderful, supportive, kind people ever, they were a great help in the wedding planning (throughout the whole journey from when we first booked in Oct 2023 to the run up!).
Booking our wedding at Heathy Lea also meant that we could have a wedding weekend full of celebrations so we really milked it! The accommodation is beautiful as well as the surrounding park and we were lucky enough to see deer, some of our guests (the early birds) saw the deer each morning during their morning wander!
Sally/James, thank you both so much for everything you have done to support us - we could not have pulled it off without you both and you've no idea how grateful we are."

"My husband and I held our wedding at Heathy Lea in July and it was the PERFECT venue - we would absolutely recommend it to anyone considering it.
We had the venue and accommodation from the Friday to Monday, and the whole thing just felt so personal. By the time it came to Monday morning, nobody wanted to leave.
The marquee set up and the views from the site were just gorgeous, and so many of our guests said that it was so different to any wedding they’d attend before, in the best possible way.
Sally and James made sure the whole weekend ran completely smoothly. They were on hand for anything we needed, whilst also giving us the space to enjoy our weekend.
The accommodation was all beautiful, my husband and I had separate areas to get ready and spend the morning with our respective friends and family members. Plenty of space for some lovely getting ready photos, with the stunning parkland views in the background!
We absolutely could not recommend this more to anyone considering it, we’re already planning our next stay for our 6 month anniversary and know that both us and our family and friends will be back to visit in the future too!"

"My wife and I got married at Heathy Lea in May and it was completely perfect.
James and Sally are wonderful and are incredibly good at what they do. Everything went so smoothly and their continual support made our entire weekend a complete joy. The accommodation is excellent and we would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit the area.
Heathy Lea is the most idyllic setting, surrounded by the beautiful Chatsworth estate. It will always hold a special place for us and we look forward to going back again soon."

"We got married at Heathy Lea in June and it was everything and more than we could have imagined. The set-up is absolutely perfect for a weekend of celebrations and all the accommodation on site is wonderful.
Our wedding weekend certainly wouldn't have been what it was without Sally & James, and would recommend Heathy Lea to anyone. Heathy Lea will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will definitely be back to visit!"

"We felt something special when we first visited Heathy Lea and we knew we had to get married there! You can create your own unique wedding exactly how you want it.
Sally and James were so friendly and helpful and made the wedding planning process easy. They also invited us to visit when marquees were up so that we visualise what our wedding would look like. They helped out on the day and made sure everybody got into taxis safely after our wedding.
We are so jealous of everybody who still has their wedding ahead of them at Heathy Lea. We will definitely be back for stays in the future!"

"I can't speak highly enough of Sally and James and the team at Heathy Lea. They allowed my husband and I to have the best wedding weekend of our lives. Nothing was too much to sort and they were on hand throughout the whole experience from planning to making sure guests got home safely.
This wedding venue is a total gem that allows each couple to DIY and make it suit them which is so rare these days. We cannot thank you both enough,
Love Maddy & James xxx"
