The Mansion

Dine looked after everything!
We felt so relaxed knowing that the Dine team were looking after everything, and a lot of our guests said afterwards how happy we’d looked on the day, which was partly down to the team making sure we had nothing at all to worry about. All the staff at The Mansion really entered into the spirit of how we wanted our special day to be. All of the food and wine went down a storm, and certainly matched the standard we’re used to in the Mansion's restaurant when there’s just the two of us, rather than sixty mouths to feed. And the room looked incredible, which we certainly couldn’t take any credit for having been happy to be guided by the team in the choice of candelabra and flowers. The DJ kept the dancefloor filled, and pandered to some of our more exacting requirements (Adam Rickett, anyone?). We were particularly pleased to have It’s raining men played at “just about half past ten”, although we think this should be a feature of all wedding discos! All that said, it was some of the small things that stood out the most and made us so pleased to have chosen The Mansion. When one of us mentioned in passing that we hadn’t had one of the prawn canapes, one of the staff immediately went off to find some and brought them straight to us. Being called for dinner at exactly four o’clock particularly impressed one of our friends who was tired of unpunctual weddings, and later on when I was moving our jackets out of harm’s way but was waylaid greeting guests arriving for the evening, I’d barely stopped moving before one of the team took them from me to complete the job.

Amazing Wedding Day
We had an amazing wedding day at The Mansion on 26th August 2011. James and Michael were absolutely excellent and the day ran unbelievably smoothly with absolutely no issues whatever (apart from the weather, but that wasn't anyone's fault!). I could not speak highly enough of the team at The Mansion (and neither could our guests!).

Everything about our wedding was outstanding!
Where to start? Everyhting about our wedding experience with Dine at The Mansion has been outstanding. We booked with them instantly after walking around the venue and we had only looked at one other venue beforehand. Michael was very attentive in the planning stages and never pushy. He wasn't out to sell as much as he could but to ensure that we had everything we needed. On the day we felt like Kings. Nothing was too much trouble for Michael and James and they were always there but never overbearing. We missed their attentiveness the next day at our hotel as we'd actually become used to Michael & James as our personal helpers. Our guests are still raving about our wedding and they could not believe the high standards of decor at the venue, the amazing food or the great service from all the staff. We wanted to do it all again the next day. The best comment came from a friend who married 2 years ago and rated our wedding venue as superior to many other local venues. To sum up, anyone looking to get married would be crazy not to choose Dine at The Mansion to make their special day not only memorable for the happy couple, but for their guests as well.

James and Micahel are a fantastic team!
James and Michael at the Mansion are a fantastic team and made the world of difference to my wedding planning and the day itself. I knew that as soon we 'd arrive at the Mansion on the day we'd be in safe hands and we could totally relax, I trusted James and Michael completely to execute the day as we'd discussed and that their experiance would resolve any issues which could possibly creap up. They were both so professional yet fun and friendly, so many people commented on the and afterwards about how great they were. By the end of the experiance The Mansion felt like home and James and MIchael like lifelong friends! The venue is in a fantastic location, the decor is classic yet modern giving the wow factor and the food was superb.

Booked within 3 days of getting engaged!
From the first meeting at the Mansion we knew our wedding day was going to be amazing, we didn't even look anywhere else and booked it within 3 days of getting engaged! The building itself is stunning and decorated to a high standard. James and Michael are true professionals and felt more like friends by our wedding day. Nothing was too much trouble, they were constantly enthusiatic about everything and made us feel very at ease. They had many recommendations for suppliers and we happily used several of them and certainly didn't regret it. The day itself ran so smoothly, I wouldn't change a thing. The surroundings of Roundhay Park were the perfect setting for photos. Our guests had nothing but compliments on the day and are still talking enthusiastically about it 4 weeks later! It was the little things that people noticed, like having your napkin folded when you left your table and when we all abandoned the top table to chat to guests halfway through the meal, the next course was put on hold until we had sat back down, without any fuss. The food was absolutely superb, michelin star quality, we insisted the chef come out to thank him, which thoroughly embarrased him! Unlike some weddings i've been to, the evening do flowed on perfectly from the day, we didn't need to leave the room whilst the tables were rearranged or the DJ set up. The evening was a great party, the room is the perfect size to keep all the tables from the day and not infringe on the dancefloor or bar area. I would confidently recommend The Mansion to anyone and know they would be in safe hands and not disappointed.

Every Brides Dream
From the first meeting James really put us at ease and we knew we were in safe hands. The Mansion sells itself, the building is beautiful, set in gorgeous surroundings. The interior has an amazing sweeping staircase (surely every brides dream?)and huge chandelier, which lights up to match your colour theme. The table are set with linen and fine cutlery and crockery. Everything is done to a very high standard which is obviously as soon as you set foot in the door.

Above and Beyond
The venue is so beautiful, clean and in such unforgettable surroundings, but we weren't just looking for a gorgeous venue, we wanted a gorgeous wedding day and that can only happen when you have people like Michael and his team to help plan and organise it. From the first meeting I felt at ease and knew that the team at dine would go above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect.

James was fantastic!
James at the Mansion was fantastic, very keen and organised, full of help and advice. We felt that we didn't have to stress about the planning (unlike many of our friends since) the day went smoothly, it couldn't have been better! The food was excellent and even the weather was perfect!

Most Memorable and Amazing Day
James and Michael are the nicest people we have ever met, and they (and their team) catered for our every need, before during and after the wedding. Having no problems with last minute changes or amendments and were always there to help whenever we needed it. They were the perfect hosts and they helped make our day the most memorable and amazing it could have been. Thank you! =)
