Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel Reviews (47) Write a review Thank you Venue Service By Natalie and Ricardo, on 22 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 05 Oct 2019 We both just wanted to say thank you for all your help with the organisation of our wedding on the 5th October this year. It was truly a brilliant day and everyone enjoyed themselves. I would also like you to thank Oliver and the rest of the staff who helped on the day, they were an excellent team.Thank your for the outstanding service Venue Service By Mrs A Craddduck, on 06 Sep 2019Date of Wedding - 31 Aug 2019 Now the dust has settled I felt that I should drop you a line to thank your for the outstanding service I received both whilst planning and during our daughters wedding on Saturday. In particular I would like to thank Kelly Burt, without whom I would never have been able to pull off such a special event. From our first meeting she was both friendly and professional and I felt I had found just the right person to help me with the planning. Nothing was too much trouble for her and I felt she went above and beyond what was actually expected of her. She was always happy to answer any queries I may have had no matter how small and had a genuine way of making me feel like a friend and not only a client. I would also like to thank Pravin who was also more than helpful on each occasion I had the pleasure of meeting him and Ollie who also helped prepare for us. I would also like to thank the entire team of staff that worked on the day that helped make the day run smoothly. I’m sure that it wasn’t easy to feed 240ish guests and get everything out hot and on time but from what I have been told this seems to be exactly what happened. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kelly and your hotel to anyone and hope that we have occasion to stay and use your facilities again in the future.A massive thank you Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Freeman, on 27 Aug 2019Date of Wedding - 10 Aug 2019 Just like to say a massive thank you to you & Oliver & your team the day was perfect it looked stunning & the food was lovely!Such a beautiful venue Venue Service By Mr & Mrs OLeary, on 17 Jul 2019Date of Wedding - 13 Jul 2019 We would like to express our gratitude for all the hard work that was put into making our big day so special and how lucky we both feel to have had the opportunity to get married at such a beautiful place with winning the Competition!

The food was lovely, all our guests commented.. Well done chefs. The staff were very friendly and helpful, anything we asked for was done and the rooms were clean and beds comfy. We had a few issues after we first booked our wedding but with special thanks to Kelly and Stuart these were all rectified.
