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

Wedding of dreams

We had the best day, our day was magical from start to finish. The venue was everything I had dreamed of and it was so beautiful. The staff were brilliant on the day; special mention to our amazing wedding coordinator Yasmine who offered her support throughout the whole process, she answered any questions we had and was always on hand to help out. She was expecially supportive the night before and on the morning of the wedding as she dealt with all the suppliers. All our guests couldn't stop speaking about the food which was outstanding and we couldn't fault it. The whole day ran smoothly without any hiccups and staff were on hand to help. We didnt have to worry about anything and didn't have to lift a finger as the staff did everything. When we booked the wedding, we were told we would have use of the marquee which was then taken down through no fault of the venue, we were apprehensive at first with how the day would run but we were fully reasured that everything would be fine and it was 100%. We actually think our day was better for not being in the marquee as we got to spend more time in the beautiful hall and the room was turned around very quick and seamlessly to accomidate the wedding breakfast and night do. If we were to note any negatives the only hiccups would be the bar opening 20 minutes later than stated when guests were ariving, other than that everything was perfect.

The Most Magical Day. 🤍

We got married 04.09.25 and we could not of asked for anything more. The staff were incredible on the day and the run up of the day. The kept us in the loop of their ongoing building work (removing the marquee). Would highly recommend this venue. Our wedding coordinator Olivia was amazing 🥹🥰🤍

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!

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

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
