    Amazing Weekend

    We booked the hotel for the fully exclusive package so our rather large families could stay for the weekend. We had a lot of individual requirements for the food and sleeping set up for families. Makeney staff were great at looking after us. We had a brilliant wedding day and have some great memories from the day.

    Perfect Woodland Setting & 5* Service

    A hidden gem and a must view for anyone getting married in Derbyshire and wants an intimate and cosy celebration with their nearest and dearest. The wedding team are incredible at what they do and bring everything together just perfectly and right on time. All I had to do on the day was wake up and walk down the aisle. I can't wait to go back for our anniversary.

    Magical wedding, just after after lockdown lifted

    Makeney hall staff were absolutely fantastic.
    It was 2 weeks after lockdown lifted but you wouldn’t have known. Beautiful Derbyshire setting. Really magical ceremony with the gentle patter of rain under the woodland canopy. Great quality food and plenty of it. Catered well for kaliegh in the evening. Perfect!

    Wonderful wedding venue

    We had our wedding and reception at this hotel and it was a great success. It's a beautiful old building, full of character, which is why we chose it. Katie was our wedding planner and she was great - really helpful and a pleasure to work with.

    Everybody loved the Lavinia Room which the wedding was held in. The wedding breakfast was held in the Conservatory and the room and tables looked absolutely beautiful. The food and service we received was excellent - we had lots of positive feedback from our guests on this. The portions were very generous and everyone felt very well looked after. All the staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

    Most of guests had refurbished rooms and have said they were great. We had the bridal suite, which has yet to be refurbished, but is beautiful anyway, is huge and has stunning views. The rooms were spotless and the beds really comfortable. We want to say a big thank you to Katie, Paul and all the staff who helped make it a wonderful occasion.

    Cloud 9!

    We're both wonderful thank you so much, still on cloud 9 after our wonderful day on Friday! Just off on Honeymoon in a few hours to Mexico, we're very much looking forward to some relaxation.

    Absolutely amazing day! Thank you so much to Liz, Paul & all the staff who made the venue so fabulous for us! Everyone has said nothing but positive things about the rooms, the food, the staff and our special day! Thank you again

    I can't speak highly enough of Paul & Liz who both kept me completely sane in the lead up to the wedding as well as on the day. Nothing was too much trouble for them despite me being a slight control freak!

    Excellent wedding venue

    Our thanks to Kay, Vorchek I hope that is spelt correctly and the team at Makeney Hall for making our daughter & son-in-laws wedding a very special occasion from start to finish. From the initial meetings last year, to the last drink in the early hours of the morning following the wedding, they were first class, taking all the pressure off our shoulders and making it easy for us to relax and enjoy the day. Venue, service and food were all excellent with many guests commenting that it was the best wedding they had attended. Thanks again.
