If you're looking for a wedding venue that blends timeless countryside charm with modern luxury, The Nottinghamshire Golf & Country Club is a venue that truly delivers. Located just outside Nottingham in the leafy village of Cotgrave, this idyllic setting offers lakeside views, gorgeous interiors, and a seamless experience from “Yes” to “I do” to “Let’s dance!”
Whether you’re dreaming of an elegant wedding breakfast, a sun-soaked ceremony with scenic backdrops, or a packed-out dancefloor that doesn’t miss a beat—this venue has it all.
The Setting: Countryside Elegance with a Contemporary Edge
Surrounded by rolling fairways and shimmering water features, the first thing that strikes you about The Nottinghamshire is the setting. It feels like a destination wedding without needing to leave the East Midlands. The event spaces are bright, neutral, and versatile—ideal for custom styling, whether you're planning a classic white wedding or something more alternative.
Ceremonies can be hosted on-site, with several licenced spaces to choose from, including the elegant Fairways Suite with panoramic views of the course. There’s also ample outdoor space for photographs, drinks receptions, or even lawn games.
Boutique Hotel Comfort: Stay the Night in Style
One of the standout perks of this venue is the 30-room boutique hotel on-site. Couples and guests can relax and enjoy the day without the hassle of transport or late-night taxis. Rooms are individually styled with a blend of modern design and comfort—ideal for both prep shots in the morning and winding down at the end of the night.
Service That Goes Above & Beyond
The venue is known for its dedicated and genuinely caring wedding team. From your first viewing to your last dance, you're in safe hands. Couples consistently praise coordinators like Albina and Emma for their personal touch, clear communication, and flexibility. Even the bar and waiting staff receive glowing feedback for their professionalism and friendliness.
Some reviews from real couples:
"The food was exceptional, even when we messed up the timings with our long speeches!"
"We had guests asking us for details about the venue—people genuinely loved it."
"From dietary requirements to decor, nothing was too much trouble."
A DJ’s Perspective: Getting the Party Started
As a DJ who’s performed at The Nottinghamshire, here’s the lowdown on what it's like to bring the party to this venue.
DJ-Friendly Features:
✅ Permanent wooden dancefloor – Perfect for getting guests moving.✅ No sound limiter – That’s right, we can turn up the volume without compromising the vibe.✅ Power access – Plenty of sockets in easy reach near the dancefloor.✅ Designated DJ area – Positioned to the side of the dancefloor, giving great sound coverage.
Considerations:
🚫 No haze/smoke allowed – If your lighting relies on haze to create beams, plan for alternatives.🚫 No built-in lighting effects – DJs must bring their own lighting rig (which I always do).🌡️ No air conditioning – It can get warm when the party’s in full swing, so dress accordingly!🧱 Access details – Setup involves a 30m walk along a gravel path and through a few doors. As of my last visit, the venue was undergoing some work to improve access, so it’s worth checking with the team ahead of time.
Staff and Setup:
The venue staff were extremely welcoming and helpful with setup. While the access route was a little complex, the team made sure I had the information I needed. Their professionalism made load-in and soundcheck smooth, even on a tight schedule.
Final Thoughts: Should You Book It?
In a word—yes.
The Nottinghamshire Golf & Country Club offers the full package: a gorgeous setting, excellent facilities, a brilliant team, and one of the better dancefloor experiences in the area from a DJ’s point of view. It strikes the perfect balance between relaxed countryside charm and high-end hospitality.
If you're looking for a wedding venue in Nottinghamshire that offers atmosphere, quality, and a memorable celebration from start to finish, this venue deserves to be at the top of your list.
