Louise Sent on 02/04/2025A truly beautiful venue
Our wedding took place in February this year and it really was one of the best days our our lives!
We were wed in the Whittaker Room (former chapel), then moved through to the Parlour for the drinks reception, and then finally to the Great Hall (showstopper!) for the wedding breakfast and evening reception. The flow of the event and how everything was turned around so seamlessly was truly fantastic.
The food and drinks were delicious, high quality and well presented. The team at Samlesbury were warm, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the planning process up to the day itself.
We visited Samlesbury Hall as our first wedding venue on our list, and we didn't need to visit any others. As soon as we drove down the lane and saw the imposing exterior and gorgeous medieval interior, we knew it was the place for us.
Special shout out to Chester, Rebecca & Naomi, but also everyone else in the team that was part of making our wedding day so very special. We have some amazing memories and look forward to visiting for many years to come.

Samlesbury Hall was the second venue we saw in person and we instantly fell in love with it. The hall and grounds are absolutely beautiful, the team of staff there are amazing, and the food and attention to detail was incredible. We could not be happier with our decision to have our wedding day at the hall. It's unique character and sequence of rooms that mean you have the whole day there from start to finish - with the old chapel for the ceremony, beautiful great hall for the wedding breakfast, relaxing scenery, conveniently placed courtyard and bar, gatehouse and shepherds huts for accommodation - it is the ultimate wedding venue. Our guests loved it - commenting on the wonderfully elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. The communication leading up to and following the wedding was fast and informative. We felt in safe hands every time we touched base with the team both via email and our in person meetings. The friendly nature of all the staff and their ease at delivering brilliant service made the whole day flow smoothly. The one minor issue we had was dealt with quickly with no fuss whatsoever. Honestly nothing could have been better and we are so thankful to the team there! -

Our journey started with viewing the garden room for our wedding, we then deicided to go and view the hall. We both got goosebumps as soon as we walked in the door. It was then decided that the hall was the venue for us!
From start to finish, Samlesbury Hall has been totally incredible at making our dream day come true. Nothing was too much for them. Everything is very reasonably priced, the building is fantastic with so much history. They catered to all of our dietary requirements, the communication was excellent and we even managed to get the gatehouse the night before. We will cherish the memories forever and will bring our future children to come and visit where their mum and dad got married!
A special thank you to- Leoni, Rebecca, Chester and Elaine for making sure our night ran so smoothly. (Sorry for throwing a wobbly about the wrong playlist haha)Samlesbury Hall's reply:
Annabelle, thank you so much for your kind words and we were delighted to be apart of your magical day. I feel ever so grateful to have been there as you became husband and wife.
From all of us at Samlesbury Hall, we wish you a lifetime of love and happiness and once again a huge congratulations!
Best wishes,
Leoni x -

A Fairytale Wedding at Samlesbury Hall - A Day to Remember
Our wedding day at Samlesbury Hall on December 2, 2023, was nothing short of a fairytale. This stunning, black and white medieval house, dating back to 1325, provided a breathtaking backdrop for our special day. Despite the cold, frosty weather, the sun shone brilliantly, adding to the magical atmosphere. The star of our experience was Sharon, our wedding coordinator and manager of the hall. From the very first meeting, her warmth, passion, and dedication were evident. She ensured that every detail was perfect, making us feel that our day was as important to her as it was to us. Her high standards and meticulous attention to detail were mirrored by her team, leaving no room for error. Rebecca, Sharon's second-in-command, was a behind-the-scenes miracle worker. Her seamless orchestration of the day's events made her our guardian angel. Chester, the night manager, was exceptional, especially when he adeptly moved our first dance forward for my husband's grandmother. His attentiveness and care were evident throughout the evening. Special mentions go to Jenny, who was instrumental in the lead-up to the wedding, and Maria, who brought life and laughter to the early morning preparations. Lynn's ever-smiling presence in the office was also greatly appreciated. The food and drink were another highlight. Everything was served promptly, hot, and delicious, with the staff continuously refilling glasses. The venue's facilities, including ample parking and the cozy gatehouse accommodation and on-site huts, added to the overall comfort of our guests and us. What sets Samlesbury Hall apart is its exclusivity on your wedding day, combined with its vibrant daily activities like fairs, cafes, and tours. This means we can revisit and relive our memories, which is a rare feature for wedding venues. In summary, Samlesbury Hall is a venue where the unpredictable English weather doesn't dampen the spirit of a wedding. With its exquisite indoor spaces and stunning outdoor backdrop, it's perfect for any weather conditions. We wholeheartedly recommend Samlesbury Hall to anyone looking for a venue that offers beauty, history, and impeccable service. -

Abbie Sent on 26/08/2024The Perfect Wedding Venue
From the moment we viewed Samlesbury Hall as a possible wedding venue, we fell in love with it. The building was striking, the staff were very accommodating and the fact we'd have exclusive hire of the venue was perfect. The on site accommodation and optional corkage was also an added bonus.
Before our wedding, we were able to have a food tasting with our family and had a few meetings booked in to discuss our wedding plans!
On the day, everyone complimented our choice of venue. It was beautiful. The team at Samlesbury were very attentive throughout the day, they decorated the room as we had discussed and it was so romantic. They made sure everyone was where they should be at the appropriate time and helped manoeuvre guests to the appropriate room when big events such as the first dance / cake cutting begun.
The day ran so seamlessly, our guests even commented on this afterwards!
We'd highly recommend booking Samlesbury Hall as your venue, you'll have an unforgettable experience and your day will run smoothly thanks to an amazing, friendly and professional team! -
