Absolutely fantastic 😍

We had our wedding at Dalston hall on the 14th February and everything was amazing. From the second we booked it yazmin our wedding coordinator kept in constant contact. She genuinely made me feel like I was her only priority, even though I'm sure some of my questions and requests were totally brideziller 🙈. The day went off with out any problems at all and the food was absolutely unbelievable. The rooms were so beautiful and comfortable. Even the followi f day the staff were so lovely and helpful. I'm am so gutted it's all over but so happy we choose Dalston hall.

The Richards Wedding 2026

Kelly at Dalston was the most incredible Wedding Coordinator, her calm and caring nature ensured our day went so smoothly with all our loved ones. Our wedding was filled with so much emotion and love and couldn't of picked a better venue!

Everyone raved about the food from start to finish!

The only thing to improve on would be in the new garden room, to have speakers installed around the room rather then a Bluetooth speaker.

31.03.2026 - a day to remember!

Oh my goodness, where do I even begin?!
From the first initial meeting in October 2024, Yasmin was an absolute breath of fresh air. So knowledgable, so enthusiastic but most of all so supportive towards our visions for our special day. When I was told that once booked we would be passed over to the wedding co-ordinaters I was honestly devastated, because we knew we wanted Yas to conduct our day. A few weeks down the line and she announced she was taking on a new position, as a wedding coordinator, and that she would be ours, to say I was over the moon is an absolute understatement!
Yasmin helped bring our dream day to life. The countless emails, meetings, and warmth we received every single time was nothing short of special. Dalston Hall as a whole have been amazing, and any queries or question we have had, it has been dealt with so promptly and professionally.
As things went quiet through 2025, Yasmin and other team members remained contact and kept us at ease, that’s definitely something I worried about, things being too quiet, but this was not the case! We were kept in mind, and reassured or informed about every little detail.
Once 2026 hit, it definitely because more real! And as the start of the year flew in, Yasmin stepped up continuously, how was that even possible I don’t know!
Fast forward to our magical day, every single member of the team at Dalston Hall provided such a warm welcome, and it was so lovely to have the excitement around us, it genuinely is a beautiful place, filled with beautiful staff and such warmth and love.
Our day couldn’t have been better, Yas was like Wonder Woman!
This place, the staff, and our fabulous wedding coordinator Yas will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
Thankyou so so much to every single person, especially to our lovely Yasmin who we couldn’t have asked for a better person to help, build & conduct our beautiful wedding day.
Lots of love, Mr & Mrs Hewson 🩷 xx

What a Venue

We cant say enough good things about the team at Dalston Hall, especially Olivia and Carl which couldn't do enough. We booked the the venue for two days and did our own decorations which the Dalston team put out on the room flips. The food from canapés to the buffet where superb compliments to the chief and the team behind the scenes and especial thanks for sorting out the cake after transportation. The team changed things at the drop of a hat as requested with no issues. AS THE HEADING SAYS, WHAT A VENUE, from start to finish the team at Dalston where brilliant every member of staff at Dalston Hall are asset to Dalston Hall & Gilchrist Collection Thanks Again Si & Shell

Our Wedding Day

We recently got married at Dalston Hall 18.03.2026 and from that very first visit to Dalston to then deciding that this was the place we wanted to start our married life, the team were incredible.
They made us welcomed, made us feel important and most of all helped us envision our day and nothing was too much trouble. They are incredibly professional but with a calm and relaxed way of things and this for us was very important. The running of the day was seamless, we never felt pressure to be here or there and that the day was completely about us as it should be.
We would love to give a special mention to Kelly, she was our wedding coordinator and Kelly knew what kind of couple we were and what would make us happy so she molded everything to fit us perfectly, her attention to detail was of the highest standard and all our guest said how amazing she was in her role.
So we want to thank you again for making the start of our married life perfect.

Lots of love Mrs and Mrs Dickie xx

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.

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!
