Reviews for The Olde Bell
Perfect venue!
A dream come true!
Fortunately, they had found us an alternative venue of The Olde Bell. We could have The Malt House. Quickly got in touch, went to view and fell in love - it was booked!
Communication between ourselves and wedding co ordinator Leah was a consistent throughout.
The whole team are friendly, attentive, respectful, and quite frankly went above and beyond for us.
Our wedding day was truly a dream come true, our visions came to life and it was the most perfect day.
Our friends and family have all spoken highly of the venue since.
On behalf of my husband and I, we would like to thank everyone at The Olde Bell, special mentions to Leah, Dominic, Terry and Ruva for all they did.
We will forever highly recommend the venue for the perfect wedding!
Highly Recommend The Olde Bell for Your Special Day!
They went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly special, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The venue itself is beautiful, but it’s the team that makes it exceptional.
A huge thank you to everyone at The Olde Bell — and a special shoutout to Leah, Dominic, Martin, and Matt. You are all amazing, and we’re so grateful for everything you did for us.
We couldn’t recommend The Olde Bell more highly to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue!
Amazing experience with The Olde Bell
The day itself was smooth, with Leah appearing at the right moments to keep us on schedule and checking in. We have so many happy memories of our wedding day and really enjoyed our experience with the Olde Bell. All the buildings are gorgeous and our guests could stay at the pub either side so we could extend the celebrations. We've had a lot of guests praising the venue, Hurley itself as a beautiful little village, and the personability of all the staff during the stay. We really can't recommend this experience enough and are so grateful to Leah, Jordan, Dom and the team for making it all happen
The wedding of our dreams!
The Perfect Wedding Venue
In the year leading up to our big day we were in the capable hands of Leah who provided us with all the information we needed and who had an answer to all the questions she had. She also handled all special requests we’ve had very well (e.g. allowing us to store home-made magnum style ice creams and the freezer that the staff served during the wedding). She also coordinated everything with our suppliers so that the right item would be at the right place at the right time. Leah has done a fantastic job and played a great part in our wedding day running smoothly.
During our big day, Vincent was our main point of contact and, wow, not only did he do a fantastic job but he also made us feel that we were in the best hands for this event. All our guests were impressed by and charmed by him. He even went through the effort of announcing us in for the wedding breakfast in English, German and French (as we are a French/German couple and had guests from those respective countries). We were all truly amazed by the work Vincent did on that day.
The rest of the staff has also been professional to a high degree. Whether it came to serving drinks & canape, the Wedding Breakfast, or serving at the bar, we were very happy with the job they’ve done.
Talking about the wedding breakfast, the food was absolutely amazing. The beef that we had for our mains was so tender that it melted in your mouth. We had two guests who had beef for the first time in their lives and it probably set too high expectations for any future beef-based meal they’ll have. The onion chutney tart with goat cheese served as a fantastic starter and the passion fruit cheesecake was the perfect desert to round up this meal on what has been a very hot day.
The price for our wedding package was absolutely reasonable and it’s probably some of the best value for money that you can get. All in all, we’ve had a perfect wedding day and the Olde Bell and their staff massively contributed to this.
A Dream Wedding Come True – Flawless from Start to Finish
We were blown away by the attention to detail and the calm, professional way everything was managed. It allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the day, knowing we were in such capable hands. The staff was warm, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make us and our guests feel special.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved — it was an unforgettable experience, and we’re so grateful to have chosen the Olde Bell for such an important moment in our lives. This was truly a dream wedding, and it’s all thanks to the amazing team. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Our experience, having a wedding reception at the Tithe Barn, Old Bell was truly amazing and memorable in a highly positive way.
Vincent was a highly professional master of ceremonies and deserves special commendation, along with Martin and the rest of the team. All guests commented on the friendliness of the staff, the efficiency of the service and the quality of the food.
Leah Hamilton was very helpful and professional throughout the planning of the event which enabled it to go smoothly in every detail. I would not hesitate to recommend the olde Bell for a wedding.
Dream Wedding Venue
The staff helped us celebrate with all our personal touches (including cutting the cake with our sword!), helping the day come together perfectly. Would highly recommend! Love Sarah and Tom.
A Perfect Intimate Wedding at The Malt House – The Olde Bell, Hurley
The flow of the day was seamless: our ceremony in the beautiful Oak Room, drinks in the cozy Music Room, the wedding breakfast in the elegant Drawing Room, and the evening buffet in the light-filled Garden Room. Having accommodation on-site (with breakfast included) made it all the more special for us and our guests, and the on-site parking was a huge plus.
The well-kept gardens provided a stunning backdrop for our photos, adding to the timeless feel of the day. Leading up to the wedding, Leah was fantastic – very helpful and responsive, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, Vincent, our wedding coordinator, was incredibly professional and ensured everything ran to schedule with a calm and friendly presence throughout.
The food was absolutely delicious – we received so much positive feedback from our guests. A particular highlight was the evening deli board, which was exceptional. Special thanks to the chef for flawlessly serving 24 perfectly cooked duck breasts at the same time – quite an achievement! Staff were attentive and efficient with service, and their help tidying up at the end of the night made our next morning much easier. We were even touched to find a kind note reminding us not to forget the rest of our cake from the fridge.
The only slight downside was that there were a few small differences between what we tasted during our menu trial and what was served on the day (e.g. ice cream flavour and canapé presentation). However, these were minor and did not take away from the overall quality or enjoyment of the food.
We would absolutely recommend The Malt House at The Olde Bell to anyone looking for a beautiful, intimate venue in a great location with the added benefit of accommodation. It truly offers fantastic value for money, with a wonderful team who go above and beyond to make the day memorable.
