Rockliffe Hall

We believe every wedding should be different. At Rockliffe (fully licensed for civil ceremonies), our unique setting, relaxed atmosphere, understated grandeur, and choice of venues, together with a dedicated team to look after you, ensure your wedding day is truly individual. It could be an intimate ceremony for half a dozen friends in the elegant Morning Room, or a grand occasion for 200 guests in the Rockliffe Suite.

For a dramatic backdrop, you could choose the marble-pillared entrance hall or, for sheer romance, make your vows under the ivy-covered Garden Arch. We’ve a choice of private dining rooms whether you want a formal banquet or a simple buffet.

We can arrange all the extras, too. And, because no two weddings are held on the same day, it truly is your wedding day.

      Thank you so much!
      Just to say a massive thank you for all your support to the build up of the big day, and for your imput on the day.....thank you for your attention to every detail which helped to make the day so special. We had the most wonderful day and there was absolutely nothing that we would have changed. Please pass on our thanks to all the staff involved for their imput and to the function manager for his attention during the day. Please could you pass on our thanks, too, to your lovely scottish doorman who was wonderfully helpful with all the baggage and wedding paraphanalia.

      Wedding Thank You
      Our wedding on 24h September seems some time ago now but what a wedding! Rockliffe Hall is amazing. It truly is a hotel in a class of it’s own and deserving of so much more than it’s 5 * status. Beautiful surroundings, a fantastic building, first class facilities and the staff, well above all, they are what make the hotel stand out head and shoulders above any other 5 * establishment we have ever stayed in. Each and every single person we came into contact with during the planning, on the day and during our stay was exceptional and nothing was too much trouble for anyone. These sentiments were echoed by all of our guests who also had a fantastic time and were so impressed by the hotel. We are now faced with the enviable problem of finding a hotel to stay at in the future that could possibly match our Rockliffe experience! We know that we could not have chosen anywhere better for our special day which was perfect in every way and exceeded all of our expectations. It seems unfair to single out anyone for individual attention as I think everyone deserves praise. However, we feel we must say a special thank you to Rachel our wedding coordinator who was so supportive and addressed all of our queries promptly, Bernard our toast master who everyone loved and ensured the day flowed smoothly and also one of the waitresses, Jenny, who was just amazing. She was kind, friendly and made me feel so special. She is a real asset to the hotel. To conclude, we hope the hotel continues to go from strength to strength. The best decision we made was choosing to have our wedding at Rockliffe Hall. Thank you so much to everyone for making our day so perfect.

      We just wanted to send a note to thank you so much for helping to make our wedding so so special. It was the most magical day ever and the best day of our lives! The hotel looked spectacular and we were absolutely delighted with everything you and the team at Rockliffe had put together for us. From the point of arrival to the time we departed we were made to feel so special, and so too were our friends and family. The room looked amazing, the food delicious and the standard of service was above and beyond. Thank you so so much. We have just received our photographs which look amazing and we cant wait to see the DVD of the day too to bring back the special memories. Please pass on our thanks to all involved on the day, they were truly amazing and we cant thank you all enough for making our wedding day just perfect! Thank you too for everything leading up to the big day and all you help on the day, you have been fabulous! Hope to see you in the hotel in the near future! Many thanks, Gemma & David Hodgson!!!
