Paul and Austin were amazing, making the planning and the day go perfectly. The whole staff at the hotel very accommodating and friendly nothing was too much trouble. We had lots of great comments from our guest on the venue, staff and food. If you are looking for a warm, friendly beautiful venue then please choose the Mercure, they will give you the perfect day.The very Grand Mecure Hotel Venue Service By Mrs Anne & Julia Harlan, on 02 Aug 2015We got married on 25th July 2015. Our ceremony was in the beautiful Queens Hall and our evening reception was in the very Grand Kings Hall. From start to finish we were made to feel like princesses. The venue is a wonderful place to get married. The food was 1st class and all the staff were welcoming, professional, lovely and accommodating. Tia was our wedding coordinator who helped create our special day, she was so professional and helpful nothing was too much, she was always on hand to answer all our questions. Julian was there on our day who kept us calm and ensured that everything was perfect and ran smoothly. We would highly recommend to anyone looking to get married to seriously consider the Mecure Hotel as their choice of venue. It is a beautiful building with exceptional staff, thank you to the Mecure team for giving us our most magical and memorable day.Wonderful in every way! Venue Service By Maria & Sam, on 20 Nov 2014From beginning to end, everything was handled brilliantly! Our wedding coordinator was extremely professional and did an absolutely excellent job. We chose the hotel because of its beautiful Victorian ballroom, the King's Hall, but the amazing service from the staff is what truly made it a day to remember. Highly recommended!made our day absolutely perfect! Venue Service By Claire & Dan Sept 2013, on 18 Feb 2014We just wanted to say thank you so much for helping us to plan our wedding, and for making everything seem like no trouble at all.
