Wonderful day

We had our wedding at Alderley Edge Hotel on the 28th September and what a day it was.
Lucy was great helping plan our day, so professional, knowledgeable and patient putting up with my endless emails with questions or changes of the day.
All of the staff we came across prior to the day when we visited & also on the day were always so welcoming and lovely.

We would highly recommend Alderley Edge Hotel to anybody wedding planning that is looking for great quality but, not wanting to spend a ridiculous amount on a venue.

We had the most amazing day thanks to all the staff & we hope that anybody else looking does too.

The Most Amazing Day !!

We had our wedding reception at Alderley Edge Hotel and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the very beginning, Lucy was absolutely amazing—super helpful with all the planning and even went above and beyond to help us find a photographer last minute. On the day itself, Andy looked after us so well and made sure everything ran smoothly. The food was incredible, the service was faultless, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. The hotel now holds a special place in our heart, and we honestly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and stress-free wedding day.

The perfect day

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Alderley Edge Hotel at the beginning of March and we couldn’t have asked for a better service.

Lucy the wedding co-ordinator was super professional, knowledgeable and friendly from start to end and the team on the day were incredible. Nothing was too much to ask and we were looked after so well on the day.

The venue is a beautiful boutique hotel with plenty opportunities for beautiful pictures. The food was outstanding. We had use of the master suite which had plenty of space for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready in.

The planning and organisation from the team was fantastic- we were able to just turn up, get ready and then relax and enjoy our perfect day.

If we had to do it again, we’d pick Alderley Edge Hotel every time.

Special thanks to Lucy, Andy and the team as a whole. You made our day perfect 💕

I got to marry my best friend

Lucy was amazing from the beginning, she was so helpful making our day special.
The venue was very accommodating for my elderly mum, which put my mind at ease. The room looked beautiful, and big enough to accommodate 80 + guests.

So many of my guests commented on the food, which is so hard to please everyone but they did an amazing job 😃

We would definitely recommend the hotel for your whole day ♥️

Amazing wedding weekend

We had the best wedding at the Alderley Edge Hotel. Everything about the whole weekend was spot on with nothing too much trouble for the team. The venue is all recently refurbished to a high standard and the food quality was excellent. The service all weekend was superb and on the day itself, I was so impressed with all the attention to little details. I had compliments from my guests about the food, service and bedrooms. Would highly recommend

Our fabulous wedding venue

We are so glad that we chose the Alderley Edge Hotel as our wedding venue. We were looked after prior to the wedding with the planning by Lucy Wade and throughout the day by Andy who were both were fabulous. The recommendations from Lucy for the room dresser, flowers and singer were really appreciated. Andy supported us all throughout our day and nothing was too much trouble. His experience showed and he really helped to make us feel special. All staff were very friendly and helped to make our day memorable and the feedback was really positive from all our guests who all said the food was also great. Thanks to all the team and we definitely be staying again at this wonderful hotel.

The best day EVER!!

We cannot recommend Alderley Edge Hotel enough! From the first visits, to the visits in between, to the actual wedding day, the staff and venue have been so warm, welcoming and friendly. We literally had the best day and that was down to the clockwork running of the staff, the efficiency and friendliness! Nothing was too much for them - they really helped us to plan and host our perfect day and made us feel so relaxed. Sam and staff had the turn around from the ceremony, to wedding breakfast and then to evening seamless - the day ran so smooth thanks to their impeccable timings. Lucy was so accommodating throughout the wedding planning, again nothing was too much trouble, and the rest of the staff were amazing - they really do go above and beyond, not just for the bride and groom, but for all of their guests. Andy the master of ceremonies was incredible along with Jake, Chris and the rest of the staff, forever going above and beyond. The food for both the wedding breakfast and evening buffet was amazing and all came out at the same time, with no big wait before courses and all piping hot. Some guests even claimed the sticky toffee pudding to be "The best ever tasted!"
We cannot thank the hotel and staff enough for helping us to have the most amazing day - a day that was even better than we could ever imagine - and highly recommend this venue for your perfect day. The hotel and grounds are perfect for capturing beautiful photos, with The Edge a short drive away for pictures with a view! Memories to last a life time were made here, we would pick this venue time and time again for our special day. We already can't wait for an excuse to return!

A perfect day

We got married at The Alderley Edge Hotel on 4 May 2024. We wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to the whole team for making our whole day so special, and a big thank you to Lucy Wade for the planning and organisation; she made it so seamless and stress-free. The team kept us up to date with regular communication. I must have sent a million questions via email before the day and each email was responded to so quickly. The day ran very smoothly, the food was so delicious, every need was met and no ask was too much. A perfect day. I couldn’t have asked for more.

Amazing venue and amazing service

I would highly recommend anyone booking their wedding with Alderley Edge Hotel. Our wedding planner Lucy helped us create our perfect day, she was amazing to us! And could not have asked for better a wedding planner.

Everything went amazing and smooth, all the staff were fantastic! All our guest commented on how amazing they are were.

The food was fantastic again everyone has been talking about how amazing it been, the breakfast in the morning was also gorgeous we couldn't fault anything.

Myself and Sam waited 3 years before eventually tieing the knot, from covid cancelling our big day to then getting pregnant twice and having to reschedule twice and boy was it worth the wait, Alderley Edge Hotel and Lucy was have been amazing to us.

Me and Sam Will definitely be coming back for nice weekend together and also for our anniversary 😊

Kindest regards

Our perfect wedding day

We can not recommend The Alderley Edge hotel enough! from the minute we walked in we knew it would be our chosen venue. Lucy was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect from the minute we started planning to the minute I walked down that aisle! Andy spent the day making sure everything was also perfect, is one of the loveliest man you will ever come across!! He also went above and beyond and even welcomed us into breakfast the following morning as ‘Mr & Mrs’. Every single one of our guests commented on how amazing the staff were!! The food was out of this world! Everything was just PERFECT. Look no further if you are thinking of booking your wedding because you will NOT be disappointed!!! Wish we could do it all over again.

Friendly, informative and efficient

From the first enquiry to the big day Lucy and her team were fantastic. They put us at ease and were accommodating at every stage, even with amendments made along the way, nothing was too much trouble.

With each meeting and subsequent communications the information was clear and concise, Lucy was very knowledgeable and offered to include things like seat covers and other decorations/props and also put us in touch with other wedding suppliers.

On the big day, everything ran like a dream from the arrival of guests to last orders. The food was of good quality and served with a smile with all dietary requirements catered for.

All our guests spoke about how well everything ran and how much they enjoyed the whole day.

Truly amazing experience, thanks to Lucy and her team. Thank you.

Hello Bride and Groom's to be............

I'd like to introduce myself,

My name is Lucy im 39 and i have been in the hospitality industry for 21 years now working in all areas, so i do come with a wealth of knowledge. I’ve been as involved over the year running wedding and events as well as planning them leading right up to the big day !

I have fortunately been married myself so i do now how stressful and overwhelming planning a wedding can be!

Im am here to help guide and support you right from the very start leading up to the day itself.

My biggest bit of advice would be, this is one of the best days of your life sharing these special memories with the most important people, the day goes so quick so just relax and enjoy it and leave the stressing to everyone else!
