Kimberley Sent on 09/12/2025Simply the best
Makeney are simply the best our professional wedding venue hosting our wedding. Here was an exclusive event which provided an exclusive venue that has the most professional welcoming seamless organisation I have ever seen one of the things that we really noticed about makeney was that the staff run like clockwork everything got done and sorted without us even noticing it was as if the staff weren’t really there, this only added to the very personal feeling that the venue offers. The venue dresser and the catering were fantastic. The venue dresser captured my vision perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure it was absolutely everything that we wanted. The catering was amazing our guests were overwhelmed with how good the food was we had the gold menu which suited everybody and there was plenty of it to go around this venue offers excellent value for money with the exclusive package. You really do get everything. We didn’t hesitate to book with Nicola when we first met her. She’s so professional she’s heartwarming welcoming and nothing was ever too much trouble for Nicola the whole booking process from beginning to the morning after our wedding was simply seamless and I would do it over and over again. Our wedding ceremony took place outside which is such a stunning place to have your wedding. It had rained a little earlier in the morning and whilst the guests were silent, you could hear the Pitter patter of raindrops falling from the trees surrounding us it was just so gorgeous these memories will stay with me forever. The venue itself is beautiful. It’s really original beautifully furnished and that can host a substantial amount of guest which is one of the reasons why we chose this venue so all our guests could stay over for the night and we had breakfast in the morning and it was just perfect. We cannot thank Makeney Hall enough for the provision of their services and we will be back again not to get married but to have our wedding anniversary celebrations with you we cannot wait to see you again if you are thinking of booking Makeney I would absolutely recommend that you do you will have the most magical day -

Delighted to have chosen Makeny
We wanted an outside wedding in July that started quite late in the day. Everything we asked for was accomadated by Nicola the events manager and Scott the chef. We had special requests for a number of things and nothing was too much trouble. Rooms were fabulous, food was excellent, service was attentive and everyone commented on the venue itself. -

We enquired about having our wedding reception at Makeney Hall Hotel in January 2025 for October 2025 and Nicola was very responsive and friendly! They had the date that we needed and it was easy to email and set up the dates for the meet and greet. Everyone we met and/or spoke to were so friendly and informative! We did have a budget and Nicola worked with us to make sure everything was perfect.
Myself and a few family members were able to set up our decorations the day before which was really handy!
On the day of our wedding, all of the staff were so lovely and congratulatory! All of our guests complimented the hotel and also the rooms, they liked how there was lots of different nooks and weren’t all piled into one room all evening.
We went for the bronze menu option and the food was absolutely delicious! 10/10!
My husband and I would recommend the venue to everybody, it’s absolutely beautiful and has good views/gardens for photographs! -

Helena Sent on 26/08/2025Fantastic - helpful and caring!
Nicola and the team were fantastic. We'd heard stories of venues that throw up hidden costs and extras, but this wasn't the case with Makeney. Everthything was as advertised and better. Nicola and team were great, their experience showed and everything ran really smoothly on the day. We had lots of bits and flowers for family to set up and they were very accommodating helping us store and set up bits the night before. The venue itself is beautiful and the perfect combination of what we were looking for: woodland (but under cover), hotel (so no traveling back on the night), edge of the peak district, intimate venue with lots of quite spots for guest to step away when needed. Just perfect and without breaking our budget! (We went for midweek - Thurs) -

We had the most unforgettable Wedding day at Makeney Hall. Nothing was too much trouble for Nicola and her team who worked so hard from the moment we booked our wedding to the actual day itself. I would definitely recommend Makeney Hall to anyone looking for a wonderful wedding day A+ -
