Perfect Wedding Venue

Fantastic wedding venue and hotel. Staff are SO friendly and helpful and cannot do enough for you. Our wedding planner Katie went above and beyond for us to make sure everything was perfect, as did lots of others. Jodie was great on the day. Preston is super polite and professional. Nicole and Craig are assets to reception. Even Rama the General Manager is a lovely, friendly guy. On our wedding day everything was seamless, the food was amazing which is usually unheard of when catering for 120 day time guests! The evening buffet was perfect too. An all round great venue. Thank you so much!!

A few who said it was the best wedding theyve bee

I have to say a massive thank you. Saturday was amazing and we were blown away by the room, the food, the service, everything! I can’t thank you and the whole team enough. Throughout the build up you have been brilliant and so accommodating to my random requests, the odd allergies and last minute table swapping!

Please pass on our thanks to Preston too. He was fantastic. Throughout the day he made sure we were ok. We got so many comments from guests who said how brilliant the service was. Nothing went wrong! there were no stresses for me or Nathan and all our guests were happy. We even had a few who said it was the best wedding they’ve been to.

Special Day

Hello Abi and all the staff at Norton Grange,
We are writing to sincerely thank you for making our wedding day really special.
We couldn’t have asked for any more from the service you all provided to us and our guests.
Everyone had a wonderful time. Craig and his team made the event run so smoothly on the day; so please thank him and all the others involved for us.
So, including yourself who helped plan everything in advance, to the team on the day, please accept our gratitude for doing an excellent job.

Keep up the good work!

Regards

My wife and I, and our family members stayed over

Dear Sir/Madam


This is just a short letter to let you know we had a great weekend at your hotel.

My daughter (Dawn Mullan) had a wedding reception at the Norton Grange in Rochdale, Manchester on the 17th September.

My wife and I, and our family members stayed over the course of the weekend and had a fantastic time.

This is now our 3rd or 4th function we’ve had at this hotel and on each occasion it gets better and better. All the staff including, Kate on reception, bar staff Rachel and Scott, the events staff Michelle and especially Joanne and Ben the bar manager who was there for us all day and evening and ensured everything went smoothly.

Please pass on our thanks to your staff, and let them know we look forward to the next function at your hotel as we will be definitely coming back to you.



Yours



Mr & Mrs Largey

Excellent Service

We were delighted to see that all the staff handled everything effortlessly and nothing was too much trouble. Everybody knew exactly what they were doing and were obviously well practised in handling weddings. We booked on an all inclusive package which was probably the only real bargain we encountered for the whole of our wedding!
We would have no hesitation recommending the Norton Grange to anyone for their Civil Wedding.

Thank You

Just want to send a massive thank you to you for all your hard work, help and support on Saturday. You were amazing and everything was perfect from start to finish. Couldn't have asked for anyone better to be on charge of the best day of our lives.

Just wanted you to know how much we appreciated everything and the staff were all brilliant and so helpful, I hope I wasn't too much of a pain. We've heard nothing but amazing feedback on the entire place, food & set up.

But think you need to take most of that credit and you really was fab.

Absolutely fantastic

We would like to thank the staff at the Norton Grange for helping us to plan and execute an absolutely fabulous wedding. Every guest commented upon the excellent quality of the food, service, staff and location. For anyone who is considering a wedding at the Norton Grange they need look no further. The cost of the day was well worth it. It really was a day to remember and we will cherish our memories of the happy occasion.

Dream Wedding

"My husband and I chose the Mercure Norton Grange to host our wedding ceremony and reception afterwards. The day went like a dream - the manager in charge of our day, Preston, made sure everything ran smoothly. Joanne, our wedding planner, was incredibly helpful in planning our day in the weeks and months beforehand. Everything went to plan and we and our guests had a day to treasure. All the serving staff were exceptionally professional, and the venue itself was perfect - intimate and unique. The food at our wedding breakfast was also of an excellent standard. I wouldn't hesitate to tell anyone to have the Norton Grange as the venue for their dream wedding!"

Thank You

Thank you so much to both you and Preston and the rest of the hotel staff who made the day go without a hitch. We had such a great day and really enjoyed ourselves. Preston kept us both calm and made us feel at ease on the day. The rooms were expertly dressed and better than we expected. Thank you for catering for the videographers and also the guests that didn't like our chosen starter by replacing it with melon instead. Thank you also for making sure the guests knew where to go at what time.
The day was exactly what we wanted and more.

Absolutely fabulous!

We had our wedding reception in the Restaurant at the hotel on 29th June and I can't praise the hotel highly enough. The staff were fabulous and no request was too much trouble - from different specialist menus for about 10 people, changing seating plans and viewing the place about ten times with different family members beforehand to fabulously attentive service on the day and afterwards. The staff were wonderful and several guests have contacted us afterwards to compliment the venue. The staff's answer to everything we threw at them was "That won't be a problem". We had a series of connecting rooms which gave plenty of space for everyone - including a seating area away from the music for the older members of the party. They collected everything up for us afterwards and ensured we had samples of the place cards, menus and table decorations - down to the table confetti!! Can't praise them highly enough. This was one of the more expensive venues we looked at but it was worth every penny!

Thank You

Thank you, our wedding was absolutely amazing.
Thank you for all your help and to Preston and all the staff who made the day run so smoothly, literally everything was done perfect!

Its hard to put into words but Ill try!

Our wedding at the Norton Grange was everything we could have dreamed of. The staff just went above and beyond to make sure everything was as we imagined, they could not have been more helpful. From the first look round the hotel to the actual event, we always felt like everything was under control and could put our trust in them.
The room (The Grange Restaurant) looked amazing and the views are spectacular. We have had so many compliments on the room and the grounds were brilliant for our photos.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
