Hayley Sent on 08/09/2026Beautiful venue
We had our wedding here and, first and foremost, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful. It provided such a stunning backdrop for our special day, and we had so many compliments from our guests about how lovely the venue was. It really is a beautiful place to get married and made our day look and feel so special.
That being said, there were a few hiccups throughout the day, which did take away from the experience on reflection. There was also one fairly significant issue during the evening which we felt could have been dealt with a lot better. While we appreciate that things can happen during a wedding and not everything is always within the venue’s control, we felt the way this particular situation was handled was disappointing.
We understand that no wedding day is ever going to run completely perfectly, and we certainly don’t expect it to. However, some of the issues we experienced could have been handled better, and we were left feeling disappointed with aspects of the service and the aftercare.
Would we recommend the venue? For the venue itself, absolutely. It is genuinely beautiful and our guests loved it. However, based on our experience, we would have some reservations about recommending it specifically for the service and the experience after the wedding.
We are still incredibly grateful for the beautiful setting and the memories we made there, but we feel it’s important to give an honest review of both the positives and the areas where we felt let down. -

We were originally due to get married in 2020, but due to the pandemic we had to postpone several times. Despite all the uncertainty, the team were incredibly supportive throughout the whole process.
We finally got married in 2021, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better help or guidance. The staff were amazing and nothing was ever too much trouble they truly made our day special. -

A brilliant wedding venue
We got married at The Hurt Arms in October 2021 and had a brilliant day from start to finish.
The venue itself is beautiful, with a great mix of character and modern style, and it created the perfect atmosphere for both our ceremony and reception. Everything ran smoothly on the day, the food was excellent and tailored to what we wanted, and our guests still talk about how lovely it was.
Brandon and Emily in particular were incredibly helpful throughout - supportive, organised and reassuring in the lead-up, and fantastic on the day itself. We couldn’t have asked for more and would absolutely recommend it to anyone considering it for their wedding. It’s also great to hear it’s reopening — such a special place deserves to be thriving. -

We honestly cannot say enough good things about The Hurt Arms as a venue and also the staff. From the moment we arrived to the very last song of the night, everything was pure magic. The space itself is stunning—beautiful, warm, and effortlessly elegant—but what truly sets it apart is how it felt. It felt like perfect, totally our style, a celebration and like one long unforgettable moment.
The staff went above and beyond in every possible way, especially with us trying to plan through COVID and us having to postpone for a whole year! They were attentive without ever being intrusive, calm under pressure, and genuinely excited for us. Every detail was handled with such care that we were able to fully relax and soak in every second of our day—something we’ll always be grateful for. All the recommendations for suppliers were fantastic.
And not to forget to mention all the amazing backdrops for unforgettable photos!
And the guests… wow. We’re still hearing about it. Friends and family are still telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to—how incredible the atmosphere was, how smoothly everything flowed, how magical the entire day felt from start to finish. Multiple people told us they didn’t want it to end.
If you’re looking for a venue that delivers beauty, professionalism, warmth, and an unforgettable experience—not just for you, but for every single guest—this is it. Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made, and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Truly unforgettable.
We absolutely cannot wait for it to reopen so we can return and celebrate all our anniversaries in the place we said “I do” 🤍🤍🤍 -

2018 Wedding - one of the first!!
We had the most amazing wedding breakfast and reception at The Hurt Arms. One of the first weddings when the venue had been newly renovated and the function room added. We got married in church.
The wedding team couldn’t do enough for us. From enquiring about booking, to Breakfast the morning after our wedding.
Whenever we emailed or phoned to talk about the wedding and details, someone was always on hand to answer immediately. Nothing was too much trouble. The day flowed so smoothly and it made it easy for us to enjoy it with our family and friends. We even got to make tweaks to the wedding breakfast menu to suit us and our tastes. We had a lovely warm/cold sit down buffet and then a bbq for the evening.
They gave us some fantastic deals and discounts for being one of the first weddings there. The bridal suite was included and the room was beautiful.
It will always be one of the best days of our lives. -

Myself and my wife got married here back in July 2021. From the moment we enquired right through to our wedding day, the communication and support was first class. Everything was seamless.
We were still in the throws of covid meaning masks were still having to be worn and no big gatherings indoors were allowed. Despite this, our day was still made so special by the team at The Hurt Arms. We had so many compliments on the venue and would love to relive the day all over again!
Thank you all so much! -

We got married at The Hurt Arms in 2022 and couldn't have asked for a better experience or a more wonderful wedding day! Organising our day was completely stress free. The team were easy to communicate with and our wedding coordinator was very helpful and answered emails promptly.
Everything ran smoothly on the day and we could relax and enjoy our wedding knowing everything was taken care of.
The venue is beautiful, both indoors and out. It had a rustic feel to it which we loved. Everyone really enjoyed the food, especially the hog roast in the evening.
The price was incredibly reasonable for the quality and service we received. We'd highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-run, and affordable place to get married! We feel very lucky! -

Tara Sent on 04/11/2025Wonderful wedding day
What a fabulous day! Everything from booking, to the day was exceptionally well organised. There were a range of packages to choose from (varying in prices, with deals alongside). Our wedding coordinator and all other staff on the day were very professional and went above and beyond for us and our guests. The meal was delicious, with fantastic quality food and plentiful portions. It was the most magical day and such a beautiful venue for photos. 10/10 recommend. -

Wedding December 2020
We had a Covid wedding at the Hurt Arms in December 2020. We were allowed 15 people present ourselves included and we would not change a thing about the day.
We had the venue decorated by Gemma White Weddings and Events which were recommended by the venue at one of their open days and she fulfilled the look we were going for along with our florist.
The organising and planning was great and helped us step by step with exactly what we wanted. We also planned a 1 year anniversary party for the wedding reception a year later at The Hurt Arms as we were under Covid restrictions on the day its self.
After the ceremony we went to the Belper River Gardens for some more photos with our photographer which were great and a couple minutes away by car.
Ultimately our wedding was everything we wanted and even if we were to plan it without Covid now I don’t think we’d change a thing! -

Carla Sent on 22/10/2025The most perfect venue
We held our wedding reception at the Hurt Arms back in July 2021 as we were just coming out of lock down. Despite a few restrictions that were still in place, we were lucky enough to hold the event outside due to the weather being stunning. Even our live band was able to play outside and the Hurt Arms catered a delicious hog roast!
The staff at the Hurt Arms were truly amazing and Mia was the most incredible co-ordinator, ensuring that everything was perfect on the day and I didn't need to worry about a thing. We both felt in such good hands and the venue is just beautiful and full of rustic charm.
Anyone thinking of getting married here would not be disappointed! -
