      Excellent service and beautiful location.
      Thank you so much again for making our day so special. Every guest has said how fantastic everthing was and we couldn't have done it without your help.

Again, we can't thank you enough and we'll see you soon.

      Superb friendliness and Service
      The Owners and staff at Dissington Hall helped make our daughter's wedding such a success. Friendliness and service was superb, the food was delicious and The Hall and marquee are beautiful, and the flower arrangements & table settings lovely. (I liked the spiral pattern in the napkins at afternoon tea). They even provided good weather and sunshine and sheep as a backdrop to the ceremony in the Garden Room.

      A Charming and Beautiful Venue
      Lisa and I would like to thank Nicola, David and Andrew and all the Dissington Hall staff for your help making our wedding day so perfect. The entire day went off without a hitch and our guests have been very complimentary about the food (particularly the soup!) and they found Dissington Hall to be a charming and beautiful venue. Thank you to Nicola for the help and assistance in the lead-up to the Big Day your suggestions and knowledge proved to be extremely useful.

      Fantastic venue!
      We got married at Dissington on 30/07/09. We had the most perfect day. The setting, staff and food were all fantastic. From booking the hall to the end of the night everything was made so easy and stressfree. We had so many lovely comments about Dissington from our guests and we couldn''t have asked for a better day. I can''t recommend them enough!

      Perfect
      My wife and I got married at Dissington Hall on Easter Saturday 2009 and could not have asked for a better day. It is very obvious and indeed was obvious from day one that the staff are very committed to making your wedding day as perfect as can be. The staff were very professional, answered every question and even the little requests that we had e.g.turn the music up, can we have a microphone were sorted with minimal fuss. The venue itself is perfect if you want a venue where yoc can lose nobody. All in all a brilliant day made even better by the staff at Dissington Hall

      Fantastic
      The day was superb, all of our guests commented on the beautiful location and welcoming staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent and the black velvets on arrival were very well received by all guests. Nicola was a star from start to finish.
