Rutland Hall Wedding of Dean & Paul 30th August 2025

Dean and I had our wedding at the most fabulous venue we could have wished for.
Rutland Hall was so magical. The staff were incredible and just made our day super special. It was faultless.
The wedding breakfast was on another level. Everybody loved it.
Emmie guided us through the whole planning process and was such a superstar. Emmie's knowledge and support was invaluable and was always on hand to help in any way she could.
Truly our day was incredible. having our ceremony outside looking over the beautiful Rutland Water. An amazing setting. Rutland Hall is such a beautiful place and will forever be in our hearts.
So much emotion and joy. We cannot thank the whole team at Rutland Hall enough.
Oh and the Windsor Suite that we stayed in was on another level. All the rooms are fantastic but we felt somewhat Royal in our suite.
You could not find a better place to have your special day.

Love to all

Dean & Paul

Beautiful venue!

Rutland Hall Hotel is an absolutely beautiful venue! We had our wedding ceremony, wedding breakfast and wedding reception at the venue and everything was perfect. Emmie was such a superstar and was always happy to help with any questions and queries that we had. The whole team at the hotel were so lovely and nothing was too much trouble, we were looked after very well. Our guests loved the venue and said what a beautiful setting it was with the views of Rutland Water. Everything was spotless and the hotel rooms were lovely and warm and cosy too. Thank you SO much for making our special day so perfect.

Nilraj & Henna

We recently celebrated our wedding here, and the venue was everything we hoped for and more. The space itself is stunning — beautifully maintained, full of character, and the perfect backdrop for such an important day. From the moment we arrived, it felt warm, inviting, and completely ours to enjoy.

The layout worked brilliantly for our celebration, giving us plenty of room for guests to mingle, relax, and enjoy the day at their own pace. Every corner of the venue offered something special, whether it was the gorgeous ceremony setting, the picture-perfect spots for photos, or the atmosphere that made the whole day feel magical.

In the lead-up to the wedding, communication was smooth and reassuring, and everything was prepared exactly as promised. Even without staff on-site on the day, the venue was set up perfectly and ready for us to step straight into our celebration without any stress or complications.

Our guests were full of compliments about how beautiful the venue was and how memorable the setting felt. It truly played a huge part in making our wedding day unforgettable, and we’re so grateful to have chosen such a wonderful place to begin this new chapter of our lives.

The perfect wedding venue

We wouldn’t change a single thing about the wedding and every guest is still talking about how incredible Rutland Hall was! Everyone was so helpful right from our first viewing through to the day of the wedding, nothing was too much trouble! The food was also incredible, we've had so much feedback from guests saying how delicious the food was. All our photos are amazing as grounds are stunning with views of Rutland Water as well as the main hotel building. If you get the change the Windsor Suite is the perfect room to get ready in the morning! We wish we could do it all over again and can’t wait to go back for our anniversary.

A dreamy day at Rutland!

We had a wedding to remember at Rutland. Its beauty is something of its own and our families till this day cannot stop talking about it. It felt like we were abroad that day. With the complexities of outdoor weddings, Emmie was extremely helpful in the organisation of the big day! We were so grateful to have that support, and it allowed for a really beautiful and smooth day. Thanks again!!! 🤗

Autumn Wedding

Every step of our experience with Rutland Hall Hotel has been positive. From our initial tour where we fell in love with the venue to the continued support and professionalism throughout our two year planning process. Nothing was too much. Emmie held our hands, listened and laughed throughout the journey and it all came together beautifully.

Our November 2025 wedding was absolutely stunning. The staff looked after our guests beautifully, the food was impeccable and the views and vibes were 10/10. Andrea made sure everything went perfectly to plan on the big day.

We cannot recommend Rutland Hall enough and we cannot wait to come back for our anniversary (or sooner!).

Perfection!

Everything about our day and the planning process was smooth and easy. I was 6 months pregnant on our special day and I was looked after so well throughout the day and in the lead up.
The team at Rutland Hall really helped make our dreams become a reality.

Excellent Experience Throughout

Emmie and the entire team at Rutland were a pleasure to work with - From the first interactions through to the post event communications we couldn't have been happier with how our interactions were handled. We both thank the team for having us for our special day which we will cherish and remember forever. Thank you again.

Absolutely Amazing!

We had our wedding reception at Rutland Hall Hotel who were also absolutely brilliant. Emmie was wonderfully helpful all the way through the process and was really quick to respond to emails and helped walk us through the timelines of the day and advise us on when things would be able to happen best. The staff on the day were also wonderful and I just cannot fault the helpful and friendly service we were provided. We overran slightly and I was concerned that would effect the service, but they were so good and got all the food out in excellent time, which was also some of the best food I have ever eaten. The room they have is removed from the rest of the hotel with exclusive access for the reception. It's an absolutely beautiful room set across three tiers, which is great for keeping the dancefloor music from being too loud in other parts of the room, and the size meant that we could keep the tables and seating without needing a flip to make space for the dancefloor itself. We didn't get married on site, but there is a lovely outside area to do so with a beautiful view of Rutland Water. The hotel rooms were luxurious and comfortable, and the breakfast in the morning was wonderfully scrumptious. Absolutely cannot fault them, the service was perfect from beginning to end.

Top service at an amazing hotel with gorgeous views!

We had our wedding party at Rutland Hall Hotel yesterday and everything was fantastic! Every meeting in the run up was great (thanks Kay & Grace!), the team were so flexible and accommodating with all of our ideas, our room was beyond amazing (thank you!), afternoon tea in the Apple Blossom Suite was yummy, Jack who took us around in the buggy was lovely, the Lakeview Suite was perfect, our hog roast buffet was spot on, breakfast good, Sunday roast the next day was great, and Megan who looked after us on the day was awesome in so many ways!!! In fact every member of staff we met was fantastic - great service all round by what came across as a very happy team!

I've planned a few big events in the past and the service we received from RHH was without doubt the best by a long way! All in an amazing hotel with gorgeous views. Sad it's all over!!

A beautiful wedding location

A beautiful venue with everything we needed - beautiful accommodation, venue where everything is in one building (amazingly convenient!), wonderful catering and a top notch team who conducted our wedding to go incredibly smoothly. The only drawback was having to work with approximately five different coordinators over a two year planning period - not sure if this was to do with the hotel changing hands or a complication of covid but we got there in the end! Huge thanks to Megan and Katy who made our day fantastic and Nicola who helped pull everything together.

Beautiful Autumn Wedding Reception

We had our wedding reception at Rutland Hall at the start of November.

Firstly, the grounds are beautiful and well maintained with stunning views overlooking Rutland water.

Secondly the staff were so attentive and lovely and couldn't have done enough for us. Big thank you especially to Molly, Matt, Cameron and Megan for helping our day go so smoothly. We really enjoyed the food and our vegan guests even said it was the best wedding food they've ever had and wanted to recreate the pudding.

Thirdly, the room and tables were decorated beautifully and the room looked perfect.

All in all, we couldn't have asked for more and we had the best evening we could have hoped for.
