A dream come true

We got married on Wednesday 19th February and it truly was a dream come true all thanks to the wonderful team that work at Dalston Hall.

Their passion and dedication to help make your special day a magical and unforgettable experience is inspiring and truly commendable, they really do go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met.

We had an amazing wedding day, even with a few hiccups thrown in a long the way, they were there to help ease the pressure and stress.

Olivia was our coordinator for the day and she was absolutely amazing, from start to finish, nothing was too much hassle or bother.

From the bottom of our hearts, we just want to thank all the staff for a truly unforgettable day.

Love from Mr & Mrs Rome x

Pre-Wedding Review

The staff have been nothing but exceptional. They have gone above and beyond what any venue has the right to do. Following a mistake on our our part, we were met with was not judgment, annoyance or rolled eyes, but a fantastic team who looked past her tears and made her feel better again by going above and beyond what any client would expect. They spoke with the kitchen during our visit, they made us a table and you continued serving us, all with a smile. I can not wait to have my wedding here if this level of service is to be expected.

Amazing wedding venue

We had the most incredible wedding at this venue! The coordinators were amazing, so helpful and organised. The staff were friendly, professional, and made everything run smoothly. The venue itself was spotless and beautifully presented. The food was outstanding, and the rooms were just as impressive. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our big day!

Perfect Wedding Day

We got married here in May 2025 and it was the most perfect day of our lives.
We started planning a year in advance and had a list of venues to visit. Dalston Hall was our first and we instantly fell in love. We did visit more just to make sure but, for us, nothing compared and we quickly booked.
Communication with Charlotte and then Olivia was always super helpful and even what seemed to us as silly questions were quickly answered.
We visited to for our first visit, again with the Mother of the Bride, for a food tasting session, and then the Final Details meeting and every time we were blown away with how much we loved the venue.
In the immediate lead up, the communication was spot on and the final details meeting was a great opportunity to talk through everything with the team.
We booked the Night Before package and are glad we did - the food the night before was a great occasion to bring together our closest family & friends and meant a slightly less chaotic morning putting all the finishing touches together.
The day itself was amazing - we still can't get over how much we loved it - and nothing was too much to ask for the Wedding Co-Ordinators and the team on the day. The food was great, the staff were all extremely friendly, and everybody loved the venue.

We did get the email about not being able to use the marquee for the reception, and whilst we were initially disappointed with this (whilst accepting it was out of Dalston Hall's control), after the fact - we were glad we used the Baronial Hall. We had 55 guests and the marquee would have been too big for the evening (it was perfect for the food). The Baronial Hall has the Bar, Pool Room, and even the Breakfast Room / Restaurant coming off it and it gave plenty of room for our guests to spread out and enjoy the night.

Our wedding was the most perfect day and Dalston Hall was the most perfect venue!

Amazing staff & a beautiful venue.

Loved this venue. The staff went above & beyond, nothing was too much trouble. The food & drink was great, the breakfast fabulous. Can’t recommend enough. The venue felt like it was a home from home.

If they could get it wrong, they got it wrong

Attended a wedding here and despite months of planning they still managed to charge extra, get everything wrong and not provide what had been paid for.
The bride and groom were told only 2 days before their wedding they couldn't have the marque they had paid for despite it being one of the main factors of having their wedding at dalston hall. Instead they crammed 80 people into a small hall with not enough seating. They also seemed to think that a glass of prosecco was an acceptable form of compensation.
The buffet was laughable, a few butties and frozen chips, no vegetarian option, no pies quiche, nothing, just butties.
The dance is tiny, maybe 20 people at max.
Rooms not ready, kids having to sleep on quilts as there was no beds for them.
The manner of some of the staff and the dj belong to a council estate yob with an asbo.

Best day of our lives at Dalston Hall

From our initial enquiry to our amazing day everything was made to feel so relaxed and perfect. Our wedding coordinator Kelly is so good at what she does and had everything in hand on our big day. Every member of staff that we met was so friendly and helpful and we feel that everyone went above and beyond for our special day. We took advantage of the night before package and can’t recommend this enough to other couples as it added to the experience and gave us more time together with our friends and family.
The food was fabulous and all extra dietary requirements were very well catered for.
Highly recommend Dalston Hall to everyone.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

Best day ever

We got married in December 2024 at Dalston Hall.
The venue was all ready for Christmas which just added to the magic of our day!

Throughout the whole process of booking the wedding right up to the day, the staff were helpful and attentive.

We were able to easily communicate via email with quick replies.

We were given all the information we needed and all forms to complete to give us the day we really wanted.

We had an allocated wedding organiser who was there throughout and helped keep us on schedule on the day.

The rooms were lovely. We stayed overnight as did some of our family and we couldn't have asked for more.

Would definitely recommend getting married at Dalston Hall

Perfect day !

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all at Dalston Hall but especially to Georgi and Olivia! these lady's went above and beyond to ensure we got what we wanted for our big day. Hats off to Georgi for standing in the cold to make it possible too. Nothing was to big a deal for Olivia and Her and the rest of the time ensured our day was perfect.

The most perfect day

You need to book this venue. It's been 8 days since we got married and it was the most perfect day. It's so underpriced. The staff go above and beyond. Wish we could do it all over again.

40th in the Baronial Hall

I got married at Dalston Hall in 2011, we had the ceremony outside and the reception in the Baronial Hall (before the marquee was contracted). This weekend I held my 40th Birthday Party in the Baronial Hall, it was the perfect backdrop for my glamorous black tie theme, the main hall with tables and dance floor, bar and pool table room provided guests with plenty of different areas to explore. I hired High Dynamics at the suggestion of Dalston Hall and she was fantastic. The space was ideal for my group of about 75 but could have easily accommodated a few more. I had a cheese and biscuit buffet with cake served later on. I would also recommend making use of the spectacular balcony and staircase to make a grand entrance! If you’re after a smaller venue full of character I would totally recommend the Hall. On top of that the staff were fantastic and accommodating of all my requests and mad ideas.

Our beautiful summer wedding 6/9/24

I absolutely fell in love with Dalston hall the minute I walked through the door, the venue being stunning with just incredible outdoor area. And the marquee just topping it off.

Our big day was just about the hottest day of the year, the team were incredible. Easy to talk to and made the day just flow as it should.

We had our ceremony outside and it was truly stunning, the bright green grass, the colourful flowers and the full bushy trees made it just beautiful. We had our daughters, nieces and nephews at our big day and they had the best time, not being restricted in just one place as we had the whole venue to ourselves, that also helped make our mind up very quickly about Dalston Hall.

Our wedding breakfast and party was in the marquee and we just loved it, the marquee is just stunning so we really did not have to spend a lot to decorate it. Also very spacious without look bare.

The greeting ready room for the bride is also truly stunning, a very big spacious room, I had myself a maid of honour, 3 bridesmaids my 2 daughters mother and mother in law, aswell as 2 hairdressers a photographer and videographer we were all in there very comfortably.

I couldn’t recommend Dalston Hall enough if I could do that day again I would in a heartbeat 💓
