We worked hard making sure we got the right menu that catered for all our guests and the Chef was incredibly helpful and patient at making sure we achieved this. Thank you Chris! Our day was simply the best day of our lives which is down to the hotels brilliant staff who made it run so incredibly well. There wasn't one minor thing that wasn't right. Kate the Wedding planner was super efficient, helpful and patient when dealing with a slightly neurotic bride!!!! I had a couple of wobbles about things and Kate reassured me and answered my endless emails. Kate sat on the office floor with me going through all the wedding bits listening to my many instructions and putting me at ease. You create an image in your head of how you want your day to be and Kate made that happen. I even asked her to make the rain stop and she did!!

The Balmer Lawn will forever hold a special place in our hearts.It was everything we had imagined Venue Service By Shelly & Lee Monger, on 18 Oct 2016Date of Wedding - 24 Sep 2016 Kate the wedding Coordinator was so helpful in the lead up to the wedding, always quick to reply to my many emails and answered all my questions and met all our requests. I stayed at the Balmer lawn along with some of my family the night before the wedding, which meant that along with my bridesmaids I got ready on the morning of the wedding at the hotel. Everyone was so helpful, our room was lovely with plenty of room for us all to get ready. The main room was set up exactly how I imagined, with all our requests met- Kate didn't seem to mind when I gave her a to do list of how we wanted everything the day before the wedding- and the team did a great job of making our vision a reality. The food was amazing, from the canapés (which my husband and I unfortunately didn't get chance to eat but our guests raved about) and the wedding breakfast, which went down a treat with everyone! We went for a hog roast in the evening which was so yummy too! The function manager was excellent. I asked him at the last minute to bring out the kids dinner earlier then planned and he got this done without an issue, and later on in the evening got some games out for the kids to play without me even requesting it. The suite that my husband and I had for the evening of the wedding was gorgeous too. Would highly recommend Balmer lawn hotel, and we look forward to celebrating anniversaries there in the future.Over whelmed at how magnificent it was Venue Service By Kelsie & Steve Young, on 18 Oct 2016Date of Wedding - 16 Sep 2016 'My husband and I chose Balmer Lawn Hotel as our wedding venue and are completely over-whelmed at how magnificent it was!
