We loved our wedding at Holmes Mill and so did our guests! The team were really helpful in the lead up to the wedding.
We had our evening in the Bistro and got so many compliments on how beautiful it looked.
The day ran incredibly smoothly, the master of ceremonies did a fantastic job and apart from giving some easy instructions for decor the day before, the whole day was managed and taken care of for us as we didn’t have to worry once.
We also booked the bowling for an hour in the evening which people loved, it was a brilliant stop gap after the meal and so much fun, would definitely recommend.

We got married at Holmes Mill and had the most wonderful day from start to finish. All the wedding team we dealt with were fantastic and although they seem to have a high turnover (we dealt with 4 different people in our 10 months of planning) it all came together well and we are very grateful to them for their help. We really can’t stress that enough.

There are however, two things that did put a dampener it things for us. Firstly was the hotel. We had family who were travelling from several hours away and wanted to book their rooms upon receiving their save the date. This wasn’t allowed and we were told to wait for a new booking link that was being implemented in the next few weeks. This went on for months before we were eventually helped by one of the wedding planners to just secure rooms via a spreadsheet.

There is also an issue that the wedding rate was significantly dearer than the rate people could get my booking themselves online. But they were discouraged from doing this as part of your wedding package is an agreement to book 20 rooms at the wedding rate. Example, several of my party stayed the night prior at the wedding rate of £135 but when one turned up on the day without a booking they were offered a rate of £85. This really needs rectifying as at all other venues wedding rates are usually discounted rates not inflated.

Parking is also an issue. The venue cover the cost of 48 hours parking but they don’t save you a space. As such we turned up on our wedding day and couldn’t park. My photographer ended up giving me her space and my partner had to double park, blocking me in, as the car park was that full.

As mentioned above, the events team are great and will look after you well but management really need to have a look at hotel pricing and booking process for weddings as this was the cause of most stress and frustration for us.

I had fallen in love with Holmes Mill before we even went to see it but it was even more beautiful in person. We had the pleasure of meeting Jess on our first visit and she stayed as our wedding coordinator throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and no request or question was silly. There was always someone on hand to answer a question for us whenever we contacted the venue and everything was just so calm throughout the whole process. We were so well looked after one the day, we were honestly blown away by it. We even hung round for another night because we didn't want to leave.
It was perfect.

We had our wedding here last weekend - wow, wow, wow! From our first meeting with Stacey through to sharing our big day with Josh nothing was too much trouble. The venue speaks for itself and all our guests loved it. I'm sure many of them will be back for a little night away! Holmes Mill gives you something a little different and certainly gave us the fun filled and relaxed wedding day we hoped for. Thanks to all the team for a day that was everything we hoped for and so much more.

We are not sure where to start, we can't thank you enough for making our day so amazing! Holmes Mill is one beautiful place but we couldn't have created our perfect day without all the team. Thank you so so much! With love Lucy & Cheryl!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did for us on our special day. You all worked tirelessly to help us with our planning. All our guests had the most fantastic day and we have had so many compliments about the venue. We couldn't be more proud to have picked Holmes Mill!
