    The most obvious choice for a wedding venue !

    Thank you Christine & your team for making our wedding day truly memorable, the day was absolutely flawless, ran like clockwork & everyone had a fabulous time.

    Right from the start Poets House catered for our every need, unlike other wedding venues Poets House, arranged everything the way we wanted it, with no 'set packages' to choose from.

    The food, wine, garden, staff, table decorations, drinks & canapes looked & tasted fabulous, the flow of the day, with the use of the garden, could not have been better.

    Christine & her team liaised with our photographer (Chris Boland) & our florist (Wild Clover) all I had to do, as the bride, was turn up & say 'I do' !!

    Fabulous location, fabulous food & drinks, fabulous staff - I can't praise them enough !

    Wedding reception June 2023

    My partner Sarah and I had our wedding reception here in June 2023. Christine and the team were brilliant in supporting our celebration. We had a present set menu and finger buffet for the evening alongside a beer and wine package which was exactly the right size for our smaller guest list by the afternoon and evening. Guests could order cocktails, softies and hot drinks from the bar which was popular guests of different ages.

    The room backed out onto the garden which was cordened off for our privacy. This allowed our guests to play garden games and enjoy the sunshine.

    The location was perfect as it allowed some of our guests to walk into town and explore some of the local sights like the river and cathedral before the evening food.

    We have since been back for afternoon tea and it is one of the best in ely.

    The venue was also very accessible for my mum who uses an electric wheelchair and the floor lips were perfect levels for easy entrance and exit from the building.

    Absolutely Perfect!

    We held our wedding at The Poets House on 27th Oct 2018. We booked it a year in advance and worked with the Events Manager to create our very special day. The hotel delivered - and more. It was amazing. The facilities, including the bedrooms, are top class and the staff are incredibly helpful. Indeed, one guest commented that the staff kept smiling throughout and that makes all the difference. When we entered the Writing Room for the wedding breakfast, it had been dressed to perfection and would have done justice to any elite hotel in the world. The food was superb - everyone loved it. But above all, the ambience of this gem of a hotel made it perfect for us. We can not recommend it highly enough.

    Amazing wedding venue & hotel

    We held our wedding reception and party at the lovely Poet's House. Christine was extremely accommodating and ready to help us realise our vision. The food was fantastic, as were the bar staff, and we had a perfect day. We hired the rooms out as part of a wedding package and everyone was blown away by how beautiful the rooms were, and very excited about using the copper baths! Thank you very much x

    Wonderful, personal venue in the heart of Ely

    My husband and I got married and had our reception at Poets House in Ely, in July 2018.

    Christine and her team were extremely attentive and organised, right from when we first looked around to the day after our wedding.

    We had exclusive use for our wedding, which came with all 21 rooms. We all had a fantastic time and guest were extremely impressed with the rooms and the quality of the food on the day. Breakfast the day after was included for those guests that stayed, and was excellent!

    Christine made our day run so smoothly and we couldn't recommend this venue more highly.
