Small wedding - Berystede Hotel
We planned a small intimate wedding reception at the Berystede, Library Room with all guests staying at the hotel. Fiona was completely understanding of the wedding we wanted and provided the best experience for us. We will forever be grateful for the afternoon/evening provided by her and her team for the wedding and also for the morning we had all eating breakfast together on the terrace the following morning. Would highly recommend the Berystede for a wedding and especially Fiona for her expert planning skills and kind listening to what we wanted (a skill not so common in the wedding industry we had found!!)Macdonald Berystede Hotel & Spa's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Laura. It was a pleasure meeting you both and planning your evening reception here at The Berystede. I hope you have lasting memories of your Wedding Day.
we all look forward to welcoming you back to the Berystede very soon. Kind Regards Fiona Lyons x -

The Macdonald Berystede Hotel
We had our wedding at The Berystede and honestly, we could not have chosen a more perfect venue. From the very first meeting, Cleo was absolutely amazing, always so helpful, incredibly responsive to emails, and so organised right up to our final details meeting. She made the planning process feel so smooth and stress-free.
A few of us stayed the night before the wedding, and the team kindly allowed us to set up on the Friday. This was such a huge help as it meant I knew exactly how everything was going to look and be on the big day. The rooms themselves were fantastic, spacious, comfortable, and ideal for getting ready with my bridal party.
On the wedding day itself, the operations team were OUTSTANDING. From start to finish, they were there whenever we needed them and made sure everything ran seamlessly. My husband and I were able to truly relax, soak up every moment, and enjoy the day knowing that the team had everything in hand.
The food was another highlight, our canapés and wedding breakfast went down a treat with all of our guests, who are still talking about how delicious it all was. The late-night pizza boxes were such a fun and thoughtful addition that kept everyone happy right through to the end of the night.
We honestly couldn’t fault a single thing. The honeymoon suite was beautiful, and coming back to a chilled bottle of champagne and a slice of our wedding cake waiting for us was such a special touch.
A huge thank you to Cleo and the entire team at The Berystede for making our wedding weekend absolutely perfect, not just for us, but for all of our guests too. If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, don’t hesitate, you’ll be in the very best hands. -

Macdonald Berystede
Had my wedding here in June, the staff were amazing and went the extra mile to make sure our day was special.
Everyone is still talking about how good the food was and what a lovely wedding.
Would definitely recommend this venue to anyone who is thinking of getting married.
We stayed from the Friday-Sunday with our wedding on the Saturday and the staff looked after us the whole time, we make use of the spa and swimming facilities and everyone who stayed enjoyed the weekend.

Beautiful venue
This was the first venue we looked at and loved it straight away. We did look at others but came back to here and wasn't disappointed.
Fiona and the team were brilliant and created a bespoke wedding package to cater to our needs. Details and planning were to the point. She even drew room plans for the day! They also have great connections with BWH Events who supplied our decorations and photo pod.
Beautiful venue with amazing photo opportunities inside and outside.
Would definitely recommend 😍

Above and beyond
I would definitely recommend the venue they were faultless from checkin to check out.
However they did recommend a third party supplier ‘bwh events’ who’s DJ I would not recommend who only followed a pre set list of music and refused to play requests from guests. Unfortunately this only reached the bride and groom’s attention at the end of the reception. -

WOW, Amazing, Fantastic, Fabulous, Excellent!
We recently got married at the Berystede and I cannot thank the team enough.
Started off with the wonderful Sarah being the best wedding planner there is, no request was too big or small - she reeled us in with her bubbly personality and above and beyond approach.
Sarah then handed over to Lauren and this girl is UNREAL!!! she knows her stuff and the whole weekend was planned out to within the very last second. Lauren is an operational, logistical goddess and has everything on lock down it is a well oiled ship. Lauren worked alongside Chris and what a diamond he is, Ensuring everything was slick and wonderful.
Every single member of staff that worked on our wedding was unbelievable. Friendly, Helpful, Happy, Amazing, Fabulous. Everyone worked with so much passion and enthusiasm and they really do care which made our wedding the best day of our lives.
All of our guests were super impressed with the hotel, the staff, the food, the atmosphere, the rooms, the rates, the spa, the pool.
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU -
