Emma and Raye's Wedding weekend!!

Gosh what a weekend we had celebrating our wedding on 21st August! Our wedding day was absolutely fantastic! We had an amazing time! It was even more than I expected 😁💕The team were fantastic and we had no problems at all with anything! (Apart from my car not turning up to take me to the church! But it all worked out in the end 😊)
From start to finish all the team and suppliers were brilliant. Ian the DJ was fantastic and I think he enjoyed it too! Megan and her team looked after us all on the day and there isn't one negative thing I can say! They were all so organised, helpful and happy! I could go on and on!
Every single person just had a smile on their face throughout the day which is just what we wanted 😁 Special thanks to Paul our wedding coordinator for your calm and helpful way in which you sorted the day for us and everything in between! Since we started the process of organising this special day back last year he was fantastic in getting things sorted and organised. Our guests all say they had a fantastic time! And the added bonus they made use of the residents bar on the Friday and Saturday night 🤣
Thankyou so much Hotel Cromwell for the memories of what was a fabulous weekend celebrating our wedding! 😁😁I am sure we will be seeing you soon when we pop in for some dinner at the Rump and Wade
Lots of love
Emma and Raye

Our Wedding Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you are thinking of having your wedding here- do it!

Firstly, I want to thank Paul- from the beginning you have been so helpful with planning our special day. You took us through every step and kept us updated along the way. From the initial meeting to the menu tasting, we couldn't fault a thing. Thank you 🩷

Secondly, I'd like to thank Megan.

She helped us so much on the actual day, more than she probably realises. Everything was taken care of and she was a pleasure to be around. Anything we asked for, she was just willing to help and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Everyone commented how lovely Megan was.

They both work so, so hard and it didn't go unnoticed!


There was also a young man, who was there on the day, who was also so amazing, unfortunately I don't know his name, but would like to thank you to him too.

Additionally, the room, breakfast, dinner the night before, little touches: like the gift in our room, all just added to the amazing experience!

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you all SO much!

We wish we could do this day all again.

Love Mr & Mrs Atkinson

Best wedding venue/hotel

We had the most perfect wedding day here, so many compliments from our guests on the staff & food. We couldn’t have asked for anymore, they went above and beyond from start to finish. The whole planning process was seamless with Paul. Megan, Alfie & the team gave us the most incredible wedding day. I can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend this place to everyone wanting an amazing wedding at a reasonable cost!

Fantastic wedding venue!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to get married. From the moment we started planning, right through to the wedding day itself, the team at Hotel Cromwell were absolutely incredible.

Lina was amazing throughout the build-up, always keeping me calm, answering every question (including the ones I probably didn’t need to ask!) and making me feel completely reassured. Then, on the day, Megan was simply outstanding. I genuinely cannot sing her praises highly enough. She was attentive, kind, professional and somehow seemed to be on top of absolutely everything — including things I hadn’t even thought about!

The whole team were superb. Their service was impeccable, and I felt so relaxed on the day because I knew everything was being taken care of. They really did make me feel like royalty, and that is something I’ll never forget. 👑

The food was incredible too. Everything was beautifully presented, piping hot and absolutely delicious, and all of our guests commented on how much they loved it. The drinks were flowing all day and were equally fantastic! 🥂

The bridal suite was another highlight. Having it the night before and the night of the wedding made the whole experience feel even more special, and it was absolutely beautiful. The garden was also set up perfectly and exactly how I had imagined it.

Even now, after talking with my husband and our families, we’re all still so chuffed with how amazing the day was. Everything was just so well organised, professional and genuinely special. I honestly don’t think I can put into words just how brilliant the whole experience was.

A huge thank you to everyone at Hotel Cromwell for helping make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. ❤️

We would **100% recommend Hotel Cromwell** to any couple looking for a wedding venue that is professional, attentive, beautiful and truly goes above and beyond. You will be in the best hands! ✨💍

Wedding Perfection

We had our Wedding at hotel cromwell and it was absolutely perfect
here are some things they did/ have included in their package that made our day so special

- Our meetings with Lina, Megan and Alfie before/during the wedding were brilliant, they listened to all of our concerns and questions and had an answer for it all!

- Everything was seamless, i didnt need to worry to ask for a thing. before i could even think about it, it was done, whether that was bringing us pastries to the room in the morning or moving decorations.

- the whole day was expertly handled down to the music, drinks food and schedule. the staff paid extreme attention to detail

- the food was smashing - we had some picky eaters and vegans and they all enjoyed the food

- they are so accomodating with the extra little bits for example: bringing me an extra free post ceremony drink when mine went warm in the sun or catering to our favourite sandwich filling for the evening buffet

- I created all the decorations myself and the staff were brilliant in helping set these up/ and move them on the day. i was so nervous about this part but they did it without me even noticing. They took this job very seriously and i was so grateful to see how amazing it all looked. They even help set up a dessert table that we provided!

Overall, id give them 11/10 if i could. The ceremony, the garden with all the furtinture laid out as well as the dining room/dance room were just amazing and i wouldnt have changed a thing.

Wedding July 2026

Cromwell Hotel was an amazing venue for our summer wedding. We were able to hold our ceremony outside in the beautiful Cromwell gardens at the back of the hotel, which made the day feel even more special. The staff were incredible from the moment we made our first enquiry right through to the days after the wedding. Their attention to detail and the way they looked after all our guests was outstanding.
The wedding breakfast was delicious, with so many guests commenting on how lovely the meal was. The suppliers recommended by the hotel worked seamlessly together, making the whole day completely stress‑free and absolutely perfect.
A special thank you to Paul, Meghan and Alfie, who were all wonderful.

Our perfect day !!

What an amazing experience !!!!
From the first contact email to the actual day Paul and his team made everything so easy for us, making our perfect day come to life.
I was never left waiting long for replies to emails always a friendly voice at the end of a phone, our meetings were never rushed and they always too time to listen to our vision and make it come to life
We opted for the twilight package and everything was just perfect, we had an out door ceremony in the beautiful garden
Me and my bridesmaids stayed at the Cromwell the night before our wedding in the Astley suite it was beautiful, light and airy with plenty of space for us all, Jamie-Lee was our coordinator on the day and she was exceptional everything ran to plan and she was so helpful on the day making everything stress free
All our guests commented on how lovely the venue was and we would definitely recommend the hotel Cromwell as a wonderful venue
Thankyou again Paul and your team we are forever grateful for our perfect day

Amazing wedding day

We recently had our wedding at the Cromwell Hotel, and they made the whole day run so smoothly. A huge thank you to Paul and Jamie-Lee for all their hard work. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they handled our last-minute changes brilliantly. Their professionalism and support helped make our day perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team. Highly recommended!
