Beautiful Venue
We got married at The Bell hotel on 15th September 2018. We chose a wedding package that included a glass of fizz & canapès on arrival, 5 course breakfast dinner & use of the venue for our whole day & night. And it was absolutely perfect from start to finish.

It really was a day to remember and every one of our guests commented on how amazing the venue looked, how delicious the food was and how great the service was.
A massive thank you needs to go to Brigitte for helping us plan & organise our day, Marlon for helping us get everything set up (& serving us & our guests until the early hours!!!) And Rachel for being my go to lady whenever I needed assistance or reassurance. The whole team did an amazing job and really pulled together to help make our day just how we wanted it. The chefs should be extremely proud of themselves - the meal was to die for & the evening buffet was just as amazing too.
It's difficult to explain in words just how excellent our big day was and everyone at The Bell should be extremely pleased with themselves for everything that they achieved. Thank you all so much xx
