Perfect team and venue

Owston Hall Hotel provided the perfect setting for our wedding day, making it an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was flawless. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds and elegant interiors that added a touch of magic to our special day.

A special mention must go to Kate, who was an absolute star. She did everything to make sure our wedding was perfect. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and warm, caring personality made the entire planning process a breeze. Kate’s dedication and tireless efforts ensured that every aspect of our day was exactly as we had envisioned.

The rest of the team at Owston Hall was incredibly attentive and professional, and the catering was exceptional, with delicious food that our guests are still raving about.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day, and it’s all thanks to Kate and the wonderful staff at Owston Hall Hotel. We are forever grateful for their outstanding service and hospitality.

Thank you, Owston Hall Hotel, and especially Kate, for making our dream wedding a reality!

Razaq wedding

From start to finish they listened and catered our wedding to meet our specific wants and needs. The staff are considerate and professional and reassured me and they had me trusting them from day one. The venue is stunning and was dressed to meet my vision. I had the most amazing day and felt fully looked after. The food, venue and staff were all amazing and everything was kept on time and the day ran perfectly. A completely stress free and fun wedding day thanks to the staff looking after us. I would highly recommend.

Super helpful

The were very helpful from day 1, when we were only enquiring, once we decided to go ahead to have the wedding there, they couldn't be more attentive, made sure we had everything, even recommend various companies from cakes to flowers.
Whilst booking the rooms, they showed us which function rooms were available, even shown us the hotel rooms, so we know the appropriate rooms for our guests.
On the day of the wedding, everything went according to plan, our wedding planner Kate Sullivan had done more than expected. The manager Mark Ilsley was the same, made sure everything went accordingly.
By the morning, everybody from the hotel congratulated us, including the housekeepers. We couldn't have asked for a better and memorable wedding day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
