Fantastic Venue & Staff - Perfect

My son James and his beautiful bride Katie had the most incredible wedding on 21st Sep 2024. Even the sun came out for a wonderful service outside. The venue was perfect and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. They made it a truly magical Friday & Saturday for everyone. Thank you all so much for an incredible weekend. Perfect ❤️

Amazing venue for ourwedding

We got married at The Bentley Brook Inn this past weekend and it was amazing. The venue itself is gorgeous and in a perfect location, all the rooms are to a high standard. All the guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, how great the food was and the staff were amazing both on the day and all through the build up. Wendy & Emma were super helpful, quickly answering any of the many emails I have sent over the past year and they were both there all through the weekend to make sure the day ran smoothly. Cannot rate this venue highly enough!

The best day of our lives

We cannot praise the Bentley Brook and all their staff enough. We got Married here in June and our day was everything we ever imagined.
Wendy and the team were amazing from the start. Their support, communication and help in the months running up to our date was faultless. They listened and accommodated to everything we asked and on the wedding day they worked so hard to make everything perfect.
The venue is stunning and we were lucky enough with the weather to have our ceremony outdoors. Every staff member there made us feel special. They were attentive, caring and fun and happy.
The food was incredible and every member of our wedding party reported back to us that they were stuffed and really pleased with their meals. We had guests from all generations and everyone had a fantastic day.
The Beresford suite was a beautiful, spacious room and breakfast with our guests in the morning was a perfect ending to our time there.
If given the choice again we would choose to get married here every single time.

We had the most perfect day at Bentley Brook

Where do I start, the whole day from start to finish was just perfect. Nothing was too much trouble for Wendy and her team. From arriving at 11am (ceremony at 12) to falling into bed at midnight everything was wonderful. The food was amazing, we had so many compliments from our guests about the food on the day and afterwards. We decided 48 hrs before the wedding to change the evening food from sausage cobs to a hog roast and Emma came up trumps and managed to source a pig with only 48 hrs to go and what a success it was, again everyone raved about how good it was. We never felt rushed at any point, everything flowed so well, if we needed any help someone was on hand in an instance. The weather was amazing so apart from the 2 hours or so where we had the meal we were outside all day. Even the band we had hired was able to play outside, you cannot beat sitting in the sunshine, watching a band with all your friends and family with the rolling Derbyshire hills in the background. We cannot rate the venue and the staff highly enough and we thank our lucky stars that Bentley Brook was available on the date we had picked for our wedding. xx

Amazing Views and locations for Your wedding photos

We can't praise all the staff , the chef and waiters, the DJ and all involved on our wedding day. They went above and beyond to ensure the day was a success from start to finish. The food was amazing and commented on by all our guests. The service was excellent, could not find fault.

Staff event sent someone down the road to stop the roadworks noise during our service outside.

The rooms were beautiful and had everything we needed and all our guests that stays enjoyed a breakfast room together the following morning

Would not hesitate to recommend if you want your day to be extra special

From the initial visit to the day of the wedding the staff at the Bentley Brook Inn helped to make the day special for the two of us.
They helped us in both the organisation and choices to ensure the day went perfectly and we're always available to answer any queries we had.
Overall very happy we choose to get married there.

The perfect Wedding 12/11/22

Our wedding was perfect from booking to becoming Mr and Mrs Wiggins-Scott. Wendy and the team are lovely and are always on hand to ask with nothing being to much trouble. The weather held for us to get married outside and the views are amazing. The food served is delicious and plentiful so no one will be hungry. Miles the DJ reads the room perfectly and we didn’t have a moment from the first dance that the dance floor was empty.
We had so many comments that our wedding was the best wedding people had ever attended and I can’t thank the Bentley Brook team enough for making them comments possible.

Relaxed Country wedding

Wendy and the team were exceptional throughout. All very relaxed and no rushing us for our decisions. Nothing was ever a problem, and any queries were quickly answered and even the team made suggestions when we were undecided on certain details. Huge range of choices/options for the room décor, external decorations and menu options. Catering for all our dietary needs wasn't an issue. The food was delicious and well presented. The setting for the venue is homely, picturesque and has the most amazing views, which make for excellent pictures and backdrops for the day. The Bridal suite was absolutely gorgeous with lovely views over the garden. The team were always on hand the day before the wedding for setting up, and the morning of the wedding to help deal with other suppliers arriving, so that everything ran seamlessly and with no worries.
