The wedding experience at the Kings Head Hotel was perfect. Exceptional service, stunning food, and a beautiful venue!

We celebrated our wedding at the Kings Head Hotel at the end of September and it’s been hard trying to put this review together just because of quite how exceptional everything was! The whole experience exceeded every one our expectations by a mile and it was an absolutely perfect day.

Special thanks first of all to Daisy who is nothing short of a dream. She was an absolute superstar throughout the entire process, making sure every detail was just right and helping to keep everything running smoothly on the big day. We knew when we looked around the venue that she was a bit of us, and she more than proved it on the day.

The banqueting team were also incredible. Fun yet professional and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was well taken care of. Nothing seemed too much trouble and their hard work, dedication, and genuine care truly made our wedding experience exceptional. Our guests especially loved how the food was delivered with butterfly service, a really great touch.

The food itself was stunning, with each canape and plate beautifully presented and full of flavour which you don't often get at a wedding! The drinks were also perfectly chilled and the team doing bar service were so attentive and friendly, ensuring drinks were always flowing smoothly.

The venue itself is also just so beautiful! The understated Assembly Room was spot on for our ceremony and meal, and it perfectly contrasted the Vaulted Cellar where we had a proper party into the night. The team had no trouble moving our decorations and such for us to make sure the day flowed beautifully between the spaces too.

The hotel side is just a cherry on top of an already incredible place. Jo and the rest of the front of house team handled our mass descent like absolute pros, ensuring everyone felt so welcome. Plus the bedrooms were spacious and luxurious, with incredibly comfortable beds. Every detail made our special day even more unforgettable. Plus it was such a treat for us and our guests to stay and not have to worry about travelling on the day.

Every day we talk about our wedding as we just had the most perfect day. We can’t recommend Daisy and the Kings Head enough! Book and I guarantee you will have your dream wedding.

The perfect venue!

Me and Jake had our wedding at the kings head 4th October this year and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we made. It was the first venue we saw, and immediately knew it was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Daisy helped us from day one, super calm and helpful and nothing was too much trouble from the initial booking, to the day after the wedding. It was an absolute dream and what we loved the most was that it’s such an adaptive venue, we really were able to put our stamp on the day and make it so personal. The venue itself is just stunning, the staff & food were incredible and Daisy was by my side the whole day. She knew exactly what I needed and when and even helped me the night before decorate the ceremony room. I highly recommend to everyone!

We loved every second - it was a perfect wedding day

We had the most fantastic wedding day at the Kings Head hotel!

From first viewing to the wedding build up, pre wedding dinner in the wine cellar, the wedding day itself and post wedding dinner in MBB and to finish off our stay, some time in the spa - everything has been just amazing.

The highlight throughout the whole wedding weekend was the food, it was all fantastic, our dinner in the wine cellar, the wedding breakfast (which was just as amazing as the tasting menu we tried) and evening food, breakfast the next day & a delicious meal in MBB on the Sunday evening.

The venue is just beautiful and the wedding team executed our vision in a way that left us speechless - with such a versatile space it really allowed the opportunity for us to make it really personalised to us.

Daisy, you are one in a million, you made the build up to the wedding and the day itself so stress free and seamless. You kept us informed, were professional yet so friendly, calm but upbeat and always with a smile on your face (even when I sent you a 15 slide PowerPoint with how I wanted things set up….!). We opted for you to liaise with our vendors in the lead up to the day which took away a huge chunk of my to do list and so was worth every penny and would totally recommend!

We would highly recommend the Kings Head hotel and Daisy to anyone looking to get married as from start to finish everything has been a dream and we loved every second.

Thankyou so much for making our day so special!

The most perfect wedding at Kings Head Hotel!

We recently had our wedding here and could not recommend this venue enough.
Daisy has been amazing from start to finish and no question or request has ever been too much for her. Daisy is organised, reliable, easy to communicate with, kind and friendly. She makes the whole process easy and allows you to enjoy the day so much more by organising everything herself. We can't thank you enough Daisy for your continued hard work to make sure our day was so special, we couldn't have done it without you.
In terms of the venue, it's also perfect. The rooms are beautiful, specious and comfortable, and offer plenty of room for bridal prep. The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. The wedding rooms to offer are sensational, the assembly room is grand and beautiful. It's modern but also has character, and can be very versatile for decorations. We then had our evening down in the vaulted cellar, which creates such an amazing atmosphere for the evening.
The food throughout the day could not be faulted. The food was delicious, and served in a timely and professional manner. They also did not get one order wrong, which I'm sure is difficult for so many guests.
We could not recommend the Kings Head and Daisy enough and they both deserve all the recognition. So many guests have told us it is the best wedding they have attended.
Thank you again for allowing us the most special and amazing wedding day.

Wedding day

We had the best day celebrating at Kingshead. Daisy was fantastic with meeting all our needs and special requests. She was available for us from start to finish and ensured the day run smoothly. Daisy helped us with so much we didnt know at the start of the process and recommended some great vendors! Great room, and food was absolutely gorgeous!

The perfect day!

We got married at the Kings head and our day couldn’t have been more perfect! From start to finish Daisy and the team were amazing! The venue is so beautiful and it’s great having different rooms/terrace for different parts of the day. The food was amazing and we had so many compliments on the day about it. The rooms are also so beautiful and it great to be able to stay at the venue. Would highly recommend the kings head!! Thank you so much again Daisy and team x x

Incredible

We got married at the kings head hotel in Cirencester just over 3 weeks ago now and we couldn’t be happier with the overall package. The moment we met Daisy, the wedding coordinator, we knew that we were going to have the most amazing wedding day. Everything was perfect and Daisy was there every step of the way. From booking this venue, to all of the crazy plans we had, to the actual wedding day, there was nothing we could complain about. We cannot wait to return next year for our one yeee anniversary and will always be grateful to Daisy and the team for helping us achieve the best day of our lives. Thank you again, Mr and Mrs Burgess x

Incredible venue!

We recently had our wedding at the Kings Head Hotel and it was amazing from start to finish. We went to a wedding fair there a few years ago and absolutely fell in love. The venue is beautiful and it’s great that it has the different areas that you can spend your whole day there. Daisy (the wedding planner) is incredible! The whole process up to the wedding was great, she was great with communication and she was so helpful when I needed it. I couldn’t thank her and the team enough, our wedding day was beautiful and I would choose the Kings Head Hotel again if I could!

Definitely the best and right decision!

From our initial enquiry, the two years of planning and throughout our wedding day and evening, Daisy could not have been more helpful and joyous to work with! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding co-ordinator or person generally to be in touch with and to handle our wedding!

Being a very indecisive individual, and knowing that a wedding entails lots of decision making and ideas and thoughts to be discussed, Daisy was on hand to calm our nerves and talk through anything we needed or wanted to, whenever we needed to! No question, no change of heart, no concern was too much trouble and she was always happy to help and listen to us. Her detailed responses and time given to us was second to none.

The Guest Relations Manager Joanna and the team at the hotel were also fantastic. Their attentiveness towards us and our guests both prior to and on our wedding day was something to remember; even remembering some of our family guests names and addressing them by their first name at breakfast and on check-out is pretty impressive and something we will not forget.

The hotel itself as a wedding venue is a hidden gem. Having our own private area upstairs in the hotel for our ceremony, drinks/canapes, wedding breakfast, photos and evening reception was a selling point for us as we knew that despite it being a hotel open to the public, only our wedding guests would be around us and able to use the facilities upstairs; toilets, the terrace, bar etc and having that privacy was important for us.

Despite their not being a 'honeymoon suite' as such, the indulgent rooms at the hotel (101 in particular) was a lovely room to be in both the night before and night of our wedding; very spacious, overlooking the high street, extremely comfortable bed and various different seats and a sofa in the room were all nice touches making it feel special.

The perfect wedding venue

The Kings Head Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Daisy, the Wedding Co-ordinator, was always on hand to answer my (many!) questions from the time we booked to the day of the wedding, and her wedding planner document made everything seem a bit more manageable!

The bridal suite was beautiful, and we were able to set up our DIY wedding decorations in the room the day before the wedding, giving us extra peace of mind and breathing space on the day itself. On the day, Daisy made sure everything happened on time and according to plan and the hotel staff set up all of the table decorations for us, which were done perfectly. All of the hotel staff were brilliant - including reception who helped the groom track down some lost buttonholes!

Dinner was served seamlessly, the food was delicious and when we realised we'd forgotten one of our guests was vegetarian, Daisy sorted another veggie meal for us.

One of the best things about the Kings Head is that there are different rooms you can move between - we went from the Assembly Room to the Cellar in the evening and it provided a welcome change of scenery as we'd had the whole day in the Assembly Room until that point. So many of our guests have said how cool the Cellar was in particular - it was a great spot for the band!

The care, attention, quality and value are truly unparalleled.

Trying to put into words how great the Kings Head team are is very difficult! The care, attention, quality and value are truly unparalleled. We had a small intimate evening wedding with 16 guests in the Wine Cellar, it was such a romantic and beautiful setting but every other room in this hotel is just as beautiful, if we would've had a larger wedding it would've still been the perfect place for us!
Daisy from the beginning was so amazing, her passion for coordinating your special day really shines. Answering all sorts of questions and whims I had so happily and truly being someone I could rely during this process. On the day Daisy was such a calming and fun person to be around, she made everything go so smoothly and organised, even down to her having every little thing I forgot about!! She made every issue disappear with ease and made it possible for us to not have to worry about anything. We feel like we got off so easily with our wedding, it was the easiest process from first meeting to the day itself, and I truly have Daisy to thank for that! Not to forget the team working so hard serving our families and providing such great service!
The Food. The. Food! As massive foodies, the meal had to be great, trying the taster menu we knew we'd be in good hands on the day! Such delicious food, perfectly cooked and timed meals which can be difficult with 4 different mains in our party due to allergies and preferences! They really blew us away and everyone really enjoyed the meal.
Can't recommend this gorgeous hotel more.

Amazing venue for a perfect day

As soon as we viewed the King's Head we both knew it would be the most perfect place for us to get married and it didn't disappoint. We always wanted our ceremony to be intimate with 30 people which was a perfect start to the day. Whilst we were very lucky for hot September weather, the reception drinks in the terraced garden served as a perfect opportunity for our group photos.
Our wedding breakfast was hosted in the panel room which is stunning and fitted so well for our theme. The food was ridiculously delicious with all guests raving about it days after!
For us, the evening do was our main focus which we had down in the vaulted cellar, a private bar, raised stage for the band and plenty of room for dancing made it the best way to celebrate our wedding. And of course staying on site in their gorgeous rooms on offer was just the cherry on top.
As our wedding coordinator, Elise was always available to answer our questions and ensuring on the day that everything went smooth and we can't thank her and the team enough for all their hard work.

Wonderful!

We started planning our wedding just as restrictions began lifting in early 2021.
When we came across the Kings Head Hotel, we both fell in love. Right in the centre of Cirencester, loads of character, gorgeous rooms, styled and decorated beautifully - we couldn’t believe our luck.
Getting in touch with the hotel and Elise, the wedding coordinator was super easy and we weren’t left waiting long for a response. Elise was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, no request was too big, she answered all my silly questions, kept in touch with us frequently and helped us find some fantastic local vendors. We had quite a specific idea of how we wanted our day to go - we didn’t want a traditional reception with a wedding breakfast, no decorations.. Elise and the team catered for all our needs with no issue and everything flowed perfectly on the day. Our guest list size changed a couple of times throughout, and sadly again the day before the wedding, but this was never an issue and Elise and the team were always accommodating. We were also a party made up of mostly vegans - and whilst there were a few veggie options available, the team created a full vegan menu for us and our guests on the day - the food was absolutely incredible! Everything about our day was perfect, we’re so grateful for Elise and the KHH team for everything and we’re hoping to come back and celebrate soon with a party for our friends and family who weren’t with us on the day.

The Perfect Day!!

The Kings Head Hotel and our wedding planner Elise were first class from start to finish. The organisation of the day in the months before was made easy by the efficiency and professionalism of all involved, and the day itself was faultless! We would highly recommend the KHH, and want to thank all who played a part in our special day!
