Everything was made so easy

The hotel and wedding planning staff at the Post Barn were amazing throughout our wedding planning experience. Nothing was missed and they had the whole day running like clockwork. Thank you to the team for making our day so special.

The day was fabulous

I would like to share our huge thanks to you and the team for such a wonderful wedding and weekend. From the moment we came for our first visit, to us checking out on Sunday, we were made to feel so welcome and special.

It is obvious that you all work in a very special environment; from our point of view, it is clear that you all love working at the hotel. This shows in the way you deal with guests and how you care about every little detail.

The day was fabulous, we loved every minute and now wishing it wasn’t over quite so quickly! We will be back next year to celebrate our anniversary.

A great venue for your special celebration. Highly

We celebrated our wedding reception at Donnington Valley with 100 guests in October. The official bit was done abroad and we wanted to be able to celebrate the day and share some of the memories out there as well as making more with our family and friends. We had a disco and buffet with plenty of tables to sit at and catch up and space to dance. Becky also supplied a Tv so we could show our photos from the day abroad, so those that couldn’t be there could enjoy them as well.

Becky and her team at the hotel made it easy from start to finish. We checked out a lot of different places but We were wowed from the time we walked in the front door and looked around. We explained what we would like and there was nothing that was a problem. From sweets to swords, sliders to speeches.
The room we used was dressed perfectly and Becky and her team were on hand to get everything ready. We literally did nothing, but turn up. The food was amazing and many of our guests have commented how tasty it was and there was plenty of it.
Many of us stayed over night and made use of the spa before hand which was a great way to relax.
The following morning we had our own private breakfast room so our guests could analyse the evenings events over a full English, fruit or a croissant. We were made to feel very special. Thank you again.

Its just wonderful

We cannot really put into words how grateful we are for the effort Becky & her team put into our wedding day. From start to finish the staff at Donnington were on hand to help us with any questions or queries we had leading up to our wedding, and we had every confidence in them when it came to the final organisation of the special day.
We genuinely feel that the staff exceeded our expectations, and made every single part of our wedding breakfast and reception absolutely beautiful. They put so much effort into the finer details of the whole day, more than I had even thought about, and I honestly would not have changed a thing.
We have had so many compliments regarding the hotel, and more so just how lovely all of the staff were on the day itself.
Both Kieron and I would like to give special thanks to Becky, Lewis and Brian. The 3 of them worked tirelessly to ensure every single guest was looked after and catered for.
We cannot recommend Donnington Hotel enough - it's just wonderful!

6th May 2017

: I Married Andrew Woods on the 6th May 2017 and I could not have faulted the attentative time given to us from beginning to end of our Wedding planning from Lucy Young and Adam Ainsworth from Donnington Valley Spa Hotel. Every detail was meticulously noted and nothing was too much trouble even on the third tweak! We were invited to an evening of food and wine tasting to make sure we were totally happy with the menu for the day, minor changes were made to accommodate us, we had guests that were vegetarians and this was no issue either. Lucy the Wedding and Events Co-Ordinator became the liaison between all the different aspects of pulling the Wedding Day together and at no time did I feel out of touch. On the day we could not have been looked after more than we were, every effort and more was made to make our day perfect. The staff worked tirelessly to accommodate all our guests needs and the day will always be fondly remembered as Our Wedding Day and made special on so many levels. We would totally recommend contacting and using Donnington Valley Spa Hotel .

Thank you again for helping with the best day ever

I can't thank Lucy and Adam more!
During the run up to the wedding, Lucy's knowledge and organisation really helped us clueless folk which helped us to relax and feel more confident about the day.

On the day before we were shocked at how easy it all was for ourselves with Lucy and Adam taking everything off our hands. Having only met Adam that day, was a bit nervous but don't why as he was amazing!

We really liked the fact that we were shown the room before all the guest came down so we could see it all first.

The evening bar staff were lovely, very laid back and efficient, they felt like part of the party :)

Just the general direction we got on the day meant that we worried about nothing just got told what to do when, amazing!!!!!

Thank you again for helping with the best day ever!!!

Love
Liz and Rob

Wonderful hotel in beautiful surroundings

My daughter and her husband got married at Donnington Valley Hotel in June 2003.
The day was a great success thanks to the efforts of all the dedicated staff at the hotel.
Greens was a beautiful room for the reception - especially as we had a lovely day. Everything from the flowers to the napkins were perfect.
The food was great and the service even better.
The evening reception also went with a bang. More friends and family enjoyed us for a fun disco and more great food. The Cromwell Suite was ideal as we even had our own bar.
