      FANTASTIC
      Thanks to Kerry and Ian for all of their help. The whole day was perfect - guests assumed we had spent a lot more than we actually had on this venue - it is certainly good value for money-food was excellent, weather gorgeous and the photos of the day were fabulous - simply because of the grounds! I would highly recommend Bolton school for weddings and special events! Kerry was a fantastic planner and extremely helpful as was Ian!

      Perfect
      Dear Kerry, Thank-you so much for all your help in making our wedding the most wonderful day of our lives! Yesterday was absolutely fantastic! We had so many compliments on the venue! The room, the gardens, (and the weather) - everything conspired to make our day perfect! We couldn't have done it without your hard work. Everything flowed together so seamlessly, and it was certainly down to the excellent administration of the event. We couldn't have done it alone, (such careful planning isn't in our natures!), and you are a credit to your profession and Bolton School. Please also thank the bar, waiting and kitchen staff on our behalf. The service and food were impeccable, and you were right - your chef DID mke sure everyone was well fed! We will certainly pop in from time to time, though from the positive comments of our guests we wouldn't be surprised if we are attending their own events at Bolton School in the near future. Love and Best Wishes Stella and Mark (Finch)

      Fantastic Day!
      The Arts Centre is a fantastic location for a reception. We were really impressed at the personal service provided by the staff who went the extra mile to ensure the day went smoothly. The entertainment provided in the package was superb. The piano player who played during the meal was excellent. The food was outstanding and there was no limit to the options available. The bar area is situated in a separate room a level up at the back of the hall. However, the glass windows allow those older guests to still watch the party, but without the noise!! I highly recommend the Arts Centre as a reception venue.

      Absolutely fantastic!
      From the moment we first contacted the venue with the intention of looking around, the service provided was faultless. Not only is it a beautiful venue with stunning grounds (making the perfect backdrop for photographs) but the staff were brilliant, particularly the events manager and the Director of Catering, they couldn't have been more flexible, helpful or friendly. All of our guests commented on the professionalism of the venue, the quality of the food and how the day ran som smoothly. I would recommend it to anyone, we had the best day of our lives.
