We held our wedding reception in the Hayloft at the Bull Hotel and had such a lovely time (despite the rain)! The team went out of their way to help us and ensure we were enjoying ourselves on the day. The food was great and the portions were very generous - we had so many comments from guests about how good it was. The pricing is incredibly fair considering how you much you get! We stayed overnight and our room was beautifully designed, taking into consideration the heritage of the building, and the roll top bath was an added bonus. The breakfast offering the next day was also delicious. We would 100% recommend and would definitely stay again! A special thank you to Kerry, Merlin and Sophie, and anyone else who helped out on the day :)

Our wedding day was absolutely phenomenal—everything went perfectly from start to finish! It truly was the best day of our lives. Tracey, the duty managers, and the entire team went above and beyond to take care of us, ensuring every detail was flawless. From the moment we booked five months before the wedding to the very last moment of our special day, their support was unwavering. We honestly cannot fault them in any way; everything ran seamlessly. We are beyond grateful for their incredible service, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how wonderfully they were looked after too. We cannot recommend them highly enough—thank you, Royal Bath, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our wedding so magical and unforgettable!

We had the most amazing wedding here at the Crown Hotel in thier dedicated Sealy Suite. Laura and her events team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble. We were so well looked after on the day and all the guests commented on how amazing the food was and how lovely the venue is! The private garden is a fantastic space and we could have our ceremony outside and some lawn games for the guests too. The rooms in the hotel are beautifully decorated and it was wonderful to have breakfast with all our family in the morning. We couldn't recommend The Crown enough for anyone planning thier wedding day!

We were married at Christchurch Harbour Hotel on Saturday 10th May! From the moment we booked, to the day itself, the team at Harbour were so supportive and helpful. They answered all my questions, corresponded with suppliers to ensure we could definitely have everything we wanted for our wedding, and checked in with us regularly to see if they could assist with anything during the planning period. Sher, our coordinator for the day, made sure everything went to plan! Would recommend CHH to everyone!

We booked the Collingwood for our wedding on the 2nd January this year after struggling with communication at another venue. From the first contact Marcin and his team were nothing less than fantastic. In the lead up to the wedding he was happy to ease any concerns and answer any questions that we had. We spent the whole wedding weekend at the hotel with friends and family and the whole entirety of our stay all of the staff were attentive, thoughtful and responsive. The rooms were perfect for us and our groomsman and bridal party to get ready in, with plenty of space for us all. Our 9 young grandchildren were treated with patience and understanding which made things even more special for us. As the venue had been decorated for the festive gala and looked so beautiful Marcin and the team kindly agreed to leave all the decorations in place for us throughout our stay which made our wedding reception look so magical. Every single guest has had nothing but positive feedback, they have even asked if we can have a 1 year anniversary party at the hotel so that we can all return and spend another perfect weekend at the hotel. The food was served beautifully and tasted amazing and our glasses throughout the wedding breakfast were constantly kept full. A special thank you must go to the barman who was kept very busy by our guests and always had a huge smile on his face, he also always managed to produce chocolate whenever our grandchildren were in the room which they were very happy about. A huge thank you to Marcin and his team, I could not imagine having such an amazing experience anywhere else.

We really want to say thank you to you and your team for helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives. All your staff were very attentive and caring for us and our guests. We are both extremely to be able to tell people that WE got married at the Nici. You have personally been absolutely phenomenal and made us feel incredibly at ease the whole time. You did make a comment on the day and said that we were so relaxed and chilled out, which we were.. but that was due to how well you organised it all for us. We also want to say a particular thanks to the Banquet manager, he was brilliant.

We had our wedding ceremony and evening function at the Ocean Beach Hotel. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. Every member of staff was professional, helpful, friendly, courteous and polite. The Chef and his team work so hard behind the scenes. The food was exceptional as was the presentation. Our Wedding Events Co-ordinator was very responsive to emails and was fantastic on the day. The Manager and his team couldn't do enough for you. We cannot praise the staff more highly for all they did to make our day memorable. They are all a credit to this lovely hotel.

From the moment we arrived, we knew our wedding day at The Queens Hotel & Spa was going to be something truly special. The ceremony was perfect and beautifully romantic, setting such a lovely tone for the day before the celebrations really kicked off. As the evening arrived, the atmosphere transformed into the most incredible party. The dance floor was full all night and we genuinely danced the night away with our friends and family. The venue was ideal for both the romantic daytime moments and the unforgettable evening celebration. The team ensured everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every second. Our guests had an amazing time and are still talking about what a fantastic day and night it was. If you want a wedding that combines romance with an unforgettable party, this is the place to choose!

We couldn’t be happier with our choice of venue! We chose the Green House Hotel specifically for its intimate size and fantastic reputation for food, and it did not disappoint. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful and has such character that it was easy to decorate minimally while still looking lovely. ​We were so pleased and grateful for how smoothly the entire day went. The hotel staff were incredibly helpful throughout, and we truly couldn’t fault a single thing! ​ ​A huge thank you to Courtney for all her support during the planning process. Her organising in the lead-up to the big day was amazing and kept us feeling at ease. While Courtney couldn’t be there on the day itself, Lottie stepped up and was an absolute trooper! She kept everything running perfectly and made sure we didn’t have to worry about a thing. ​ ​The catering was a real highlight. The food all day was fantastic, and we’ve had so many compliments from our guests. While we were a bit too busy to catch the canapés ourselves, we’ve been reliably informed by everyone else that they were delicious! ​We would highly recommend the Green House Hotel to anyone looking for a stress-free, beautiful, and intimate wedding day.
