      The Most Wonderful Day
      We got married at Winchester's Guildhall late last year. After searching around the area for venues we found that the rooms withinThe Guildhall to be stunning and decided to have our ceremony in The Mayor's Parlour (very grand), followed by our reception in The Walton Road which has a fabulous balcony where we had our drinks reception with views right across Winchester. The lack of grounds for photographs we thought originally would be a problem but the staff advised us that it was no problem and that being situated right next to Abbey Gardens we could have some great pictures taken there (and they were!) The location and facilities were second to none and food delicious. We would advise any couple looking for a venue with a difference to try The Guildhall - they wont be disappointed.

      Winchester's Grandest
      I really cannot say how over the moon we were with the day. The Guildhall's organisation of the whole occasion was superb and with a choice of rooms to suite your parties size they really fitted our needs.

      Excellent!
      Our wedding day was absolutely fabulous. All the staff were helpful and efficient, both before the weding and on the day itself. Even the fire alaram after dessert failed to make a dent on anyones enjoyment. Special thanks were sent to Natasha, Gillian and Glenn and everyone who was there on 3rd December who made our day so special.

      10 out of 10
      The planning and running of our wedding and reception at The Guildhall was superb. The staff were extremely professional and managed to be both attentative and discreet in carrying our their duties. Compliments must go to the caterers as so many of our guests commented on the high quality and presentation of the food. We will certainly recommend this venue to all our friends and family as we really had a super day.
