    We had the best wedding day!

    We got married on 16th August 2024. It was second time around for both of us and we wanted a very personal small wedding ceremony followed by a lazy long celebratory lunch. We had only 30 guests.

    Right from the outset, Melanie, our wedding coordinator was so very helpful and clearly very experienced in her role.

    Once she was able to confirm availability, Melanie met with us to show us the options of the various rooms both for the ceremony and lunch.

    Melanie made the whole process worry free, was quick to answer my endless questions in emails and readily met with us to ensure that every tiny detail was covered and understood.
    Nothing was too much trouble.

    We very much enjoyed our food and wine tasting and were able to include four of our guests.

    We were very well looked after by the superb team of staff, and the chef joined us after lunch to hear our feedback and offer suggestions to how we could tweak our choice of menu. It was great!

    Our wedding went without a hitch, nothing could beat the warm and friendly atmosphere by all of the wonderful waiting staff towards us and our guests. Melanie was on hand the whole day.
    The food was fabulous.

    The only thing that could be improved on, was the system by which we were able to play our music playlist. The speaker in the room we used wasn’t working and so we had to use a portable “ghetto blaster” which wasn’t really loud enough for all to hear well.

    We chose not to have an evening event, but were able to use the room for as long as we wanted - with no pressure to leave.
    We had the best day and would highly recommend the OGH as the perfect wedding venue.

    A perfect day

    We had our wedding at OHH and it was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. They were incredibly helpful, professional, and attentive to every detail, making our day completely stress-free. The venue itself was stunning, with beautiful decor and a fantastic atmosphere that made our wedding truly special. The food was exceptional, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the service. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—thank you for making our day unforgettable! Highly recommend to any couple looking for a dream wedding venue.

    Wedding day

    We had our wedding here which was not your typical wedding. They were amazing with accommodating our decor and how we wanted the tables set up, they made sure our day was perfect and were so good when it came to communicating and they work seamlessly as a team.

    The Perfect Wedding Day

    We couldn't have asked for a better venue. From the start of the planning process to the end, the staff were incredibly helpful guiding us through all the options. Every detail was thoughtfully planned by the team which meant on the day, everything went smoothly! The food was the highlight of the venue, excellent quality and they went above and beyond to cater for all dietary needs. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in Guernsey.

    OGH Wedding Review

    We could not have chosen a better venue for our Wedding ceremony and reception. From the day we decided on the OGH the event staff Olivia & Mel helped us every step of the way, they accommodated us throughout with any queries, meetings and advice needed. They were prompt and efficient when communicating with us, nothing felt a chore or issue for them. On the day of our wedding everything went as imagined , the waiting staff were incredible so very attentive and extremely polite, the food was out of this world. Having our wedding at the OGH was extremely good value for money, we would highly recommend the OGH to anyone looking to get married in a unique setting like the OGH has to offer.

    Everything we hoped for

    The OGH were highly professional and attentive. Our guests gave high praise on the quality of the food and the attentiveness of the staff; nothing was too much of an ask! They made our day so special. There no hitches and the day progressed with ease. Thank you so much OGH!

    Fantastic service, so happy!

    Staff were very attentive and helpful.
    We have two people with dietary needs who we hadn’t been told about and the chef was extremely helpful and provided them with something to eat.
    Everyone really enjoyed themselves and they all said the food and the wine was excellent!
    The room was beautiful too!
    It was a lovely day and we are both very grateful for everything you and the team has done for us.

    November 2022 Wedding at the OGH

    We had a truly fabulous wedding at the OGH in November 2022!

    Everything about the day, from the venue, to the food, to the work of the staff, was truly a five star experience.

    Olivia really helped us to plan our wedding, helping us to think of ideas for the day. Olivia catered to every request that we had and was on hand in the months before the wedding with useful guidance and advice. Olivia also worked proactively and professionally with all of our wedding suppliers, which made our job of planning the wedding much easier.

    Included in our package was a wedding menu tasting experience. We attended this a few months prior to our wedding, and it was one of the highlights of the wedding planning. The food and the service were both fantastic, and Nigel, the chef, was really great at talking though our choices with us and helping us to create the perfect menu. The food for both the tasting and on the day itself were fantastic, and a real highlight of our day.

    On the day, the staff at the OGH made sure everything ran smoothly, and they made sure that there was nothing for us to do, leaving us and our guests free to really enjoy the day.

    Many of our guests travelled over to Guernsey for the wedding and stayed at the hotel, and so many of our guests have said how welcoming, attentive and friendly the staff were.

    Overall, a truly fantastic wedding, at a fantastic venue, with memories we will look back on fondly for many years to come.

    Thank you to the OGH team!
