It's just perfect when it comes to location, scenery, friendliness of staff and at a very good price.Amazing Staff and Venue Venue Service By Rachel Shepherd, on 31 Jul 2019Date of Wedding - 27 Jul 2019 Hello, Can I just say thank you to you and the team who worked so hard to make our day so special. Everything was perfect I had the most amazing day and the venue looked amazing. I wish I could do it all over again XUnique Venue Service By Richard & Tori Murie, on 03 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 27 May 2019 “The team at the Mercure Bradford Bankfield Hotel couldn’t have been more helpful when arranging our rather unconventional short-ish notice wedding. From the start we knew we wanted to do something a bit different and Claire worked with us to create a bespoke package that catered for not only our quirky ceremony, but also for a large number of people with food allergies and intolerances. That wouldn’t have been possible without a flexible and open minded approach from the venue throughout the planning period (which was only a couple of months!) and then on the day itself. The food was absolutely amazing and plentiful – even for our guests with specific dietary requirements. We were able to arrange something that was unique, full of character and what many of our guests described as “the most memorable wedding” they’d ever attended.” Richard & Tori MurieOutstanding!! Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Wilkinson, on 03 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 17 May 2019 Well where do we start ! Outstanding!! The staff who served our food were amazing and so efficient I had one lady apologies I did not get her name but she poured my tea behind me and took every care not to spill anything on my dress and she was so lovely checking in on us to make sure everything was ok and if we needed anything. You took so much care and detail for our day, nothing was too much trouble.
