A perfect autumnal wedding

What a lovely day we had at the Maynard, from start to finish it was perfect. Brilliantly orchestrated by staff, especially Zoe who was fab, we didn’t stress at all. The venue was great, the food was amazing and the staff were professional and friendly. The in-house DJ disco had everyone on the dance floor all night. The rooms were amazing value for money. The whole day was relaxed, which was exactly what we wanted.

Amazing wedding day!

We got married at The Maynard in May and had the most amazing day. Absolutely everything went according to plan and we felt in safe hands all day.
The location is absolutely perfect and if the weather is kind the garden is fantastic for a drinks reception & for photos.
Surprise view is not too far away to go and get some extra photos!

Wedding May 2022

We got married here yesterday having booked it about 12 months ago. Soraya was absolutely brilliant - very knowledgeable, helpful and experienced. The venue itself is very comfortable, rooms are a nice size and they cater well for couples/families.

The team were great in accommodating what we wanted for our wedding, especially as it was quite non-traditional. They were helpful in making suggestions, and as a very nervous bride they helped me feel confident in making decisions.

The food was phenomenal - all the guests were very complimentary. We had breakfast, lunch, dinner and wedding breakfast while there and not one disappointed. They also cater brilliantly for vegetarians and vegans with lots of menu choices.

The overall cost was also very reasonable, although there were a lot of weddings back to back. Although Soraya and the team knew their stuff and were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, it sometimes seemed like the team were a bit stretched, and in the early planning stages it was a bit difficult to get hold of people. Minor complaint though, as the wedding day was fantastic (literally nothing went wrong) and I know they've hired extra people to cope with their inevitable extra demand!

Thanks again Soraya and the team!

Absolutely incredible day!

We booked The Maynard after falling in love during our zoom show round; we were living abroad but new this was the right venue for us. Safe to say planning a wedding mid pandemic isn’t way but Georgi, Kate & Soraya went above and beyond from beginning to end to make sure it was perfect. We picked the venue because we love the Peak District - it doesn’t disappoint with incredible views all around, beautiful walks nearby and lots of amazing photo opportunities if you pop your wellies on! All of our guests commented on how welcoming and accommodating all the staff were throughout our weekend, nothing was too much trouble and the team really made our wedding experience (shout out to Carl who honestly was a diamond all weekend). Food was incredible, especially with loads of allergies to cater for and the team went out of their way to make sure everyone was catered for. So many people have said the best wedding meal they’ve ever had! Thank you so much to Kate who managed our day; we worried about absolutely nothing and had the most fun. Honestly we can’t thank The Maynard enough for making our wedding celebration absolutely perfect.

Hi, I'm Zoe!

I joined The Maynard just over a year ago. I have a first-class degree in International Hospitality Business Management from Manchester but my heart called me back to Sheffield and the Peak District after graduating. It was when I joined the Maynard that I channelled my 6+ years in hospitality in to the wonderful world of weddings and there is no stopping me now!

People always ask me what my favourite thing about The Maynard is and to be honest the venue speaks for itself, it really is beatiful but the thing I love the most is the team I work with. We are a family and we love working together to see couples visions come to life.
