Magical wedding at Crathorne
They made every moment leading up to our big day special. The menu tasting was wonderful and really gave you a sense of how the wedding breakfast would go. Aurora, our wedding coordinator, was so detail-oriented that the day ran so incredibly smoothly that most of the guests commented on it! Alan, the MC on the day, was absolutely wonderful. He somehow managed to corral all of the guests efficiently and professionally, but also in a way that they didn't feel hurried.
As I say, everyone at the hotel involved in every step is wonderful. Hannah, Emma and Olivia on reception are so welcoming. Gloria is so cheerful and thoughtful, and had some special canapes kept by especially for us, so we didn't miss out. She also made sure those with dietary requirements or who didn't want prosecco had things they wanted to eat and drink with the canapes which was really thoughtful.
That does really sum up how you are treated at Crathorne. They are incredibly thoughtful and pay attention to the smallest details. For breakfast they had put out some of the large wedding tables in the breakfast room so we could mix on tables for breakfast the day before and after the wedding meaning nobody felt left out and it was really precious time to catch up with people we didn't get to speak to as much as we would have liked to on the day. Bewoh was on the breakfasts and was absolutely wonderful with all of the guests and dealing with all the many dietary requirements! Early on the morning of the wedding, the tables had been set out slightly incorrectly. I went to find Aurora in the next room, and she had already noticed it and was on it.
When I was coming downstairs in my dress, not knowing there were still guests in the hotel, Byron quickly ushered me into the dining room and kept an eye out until they were gone. Martin, knowing we probably hadn't had a drink since breakfast, brought my dad and me a glass of water before the church without being asked, which is exactly what we needed! When we got back, Alan and other staff ushered people around to the garden for photographs and the confetti shot and had everything organised perfectly, it all ran exactly to time! Having been to many weddings, and knowing how hard it is to keep everything on time, I was not expecting this in the least. Whilst we were in the church, the hotel had set out the lawn games we brought, photo tables, confetti, and so many other things without the least bit of direction from us, and it was all perfect.
The food was incredible! I've never been to a wedding where the wedding breakfast is exactly the same quality as the restaurant food. Everyone's dietary requirements were taken into account perfectly, and everyone with dietary requirements was really impressed that the correct food was placed in front of them without the need to check who it was for. Gilmar is brilliant and made sure everyone had wine with a smile and was incredibly efficient. Everything flowed seamlessly from the food, to the speeches, to the cake cutting, first dance and more. We were really impressed that they set out the cake on the dancefloor and had everyone gather for that, as often this is missed at many weddings.
I can not stress how much stress the Crathorne Team took away from us. It really was the most perfect day.
We had a perfect wedding day
Wedding at Crathorne Hall
On the wedding day we were assigned a toastmaster, Alan, who essentially organised the full day, told us where we needed to be and when, and made sure everything went smoothly. Alan also announced us for the first time as a married couple, the cutting of the cake and first dance etc. Alan was fantastic he really made the day feel so relaxed, made us feel at ease and made sure everything went perfectly as planned. He was a lovely guy who we are thankful was part of our day, we received a number of comments from guests and family about how professional and helpful he was on the day.
We stayed overnight after the wedding and again, the staff were just amazing in ensuring we had the perfect stay, they were so helpful and friendly.
Another thing we were taken aback by is the value for money and how decently priced our day was for everything we got!
I can’t recommend this venue enough, it’s absolutely stunning in beautiful scenery, and the staff went above and beyond for us at every stage of planning the wedding, and the day itself.
Absolutely Outstanding - made our wedding day perfect.
Crathorne Hall immediately stood out to us as a friendly, warm place and that is one of the reasons we booked it. Sure enough, the staff has been outstanding from start to end. From our wedding coordinator Stacey (a very professional, detail-oriented, warm and lovely lady) to the porter, to the receptionist team, to the waiters and waitresses - everyone is so warm and genuinely such nice people, ready to go above and beyond to help you. The porter for instance kept asking guests if they needed help, and before they could answer would already be taking all their luggages and through doors with warm smiles!
The entire team is personable and made us feel so special on our wedding day - even though they probably witness multiple weddings a month, but they made us feel so special.
Throughout the wedding planning process, every time we needed something out of the ordinary, they were more than happy to help us make it happen where possible. The attitude of everyone at Crathorne Hall is exemplary. The unique essence of Crathorne Hall is that it feels more like a family-run business, and in no way feels corporate.
Yet, the hotel grounds are breathtaking, and the interiors of the halls are absolutely beautiful. There is nothing garish about it. All the interiors are classy and elegant, and again another reason why we chose it. They use neutral colours like white and gold to make it so.
Price wise - GREAT value for money. The cost we paid included 37 rooms which I think is at a great bargain compared to many other Venues we looked at.
The rooms are faultless - beautiful victorian-style rooms. We have had nothing but positive feedback from guests on how comfortable and lush their rooms were.
Food-wise it is not the best food we've tasted, but to be honest coming from a foodie like myself that's ok. Everything else mentioned above more than makes up for it.
All in all - Crathorne Hall is outstanding. We cannot wait to return for future wedding anniversaries!
