Delighted With Everything

We were so delighted with everything that you and your staff provided for us, and are very grateful for everyone''s hard work. The Bedford Lodge Hotel provides a beautiful venue, and we were so glad that we chose it. Everyone was so impressed with how organised everything was and how lovely the Classics Suite looked. The added bonus of the garden and the lovely weather was, of course, nothing short of a miracle.

Wedding day such a memorable one.

We were absolutely delighted to have found Bedford Lodge Hotel as a wedding venue, and of course even more Thrilled to be able to hold our wedding there, during the summer, at such short notice. We had a fantastic time, and this is in part due to the organisation of the team. Our guests liked the venue for many reasons, especially how pretty it is. On the day, and every time we have visited the gardens looked immaculate, the hotel was exceptionally clean, and the reception staff are welcoming. We were impressed with the standard of catering. So thank you very much for making our wedding day such a memorable one.
