Dream Wedding Venue
We had our wedding in The Malt House on 30/05/2025 with the ceremony in the phenomenal gardens made perfect by Kevin. The attention to detail by all staff in the planning and on the day, especially by Leah, Vincent and Reva, made the day seamless, allowing us to enjoy the day with zero worries. Anything that needed doing was done without even having to ask, with Vincent knowing exactly what was needed at every moment.
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.

Perfect venue
We recently had our wedding at The Olde Bell, and it truly was the most perfect day! The venue itself is absolutely stunning — full of character, charm, and beautiful spaces both inside and out. It created the perfect backdrop for our celebrations and made our photos look incredible.
Leah and the team were nothing short of brilliant from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made the whole process feel so easy and relaxed. On the day, everything ran so smoothly thanks to their hard work behind the scenes, and we genuinely felt so well looked after.
So many of our guests commented on how gorgeous the venue was and how seamless the day felt. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place or a lovelier team to help us celebrate such a special moment in our lives. Thank you, Olde Bell — you’ll forever hold a very special place in our hearts!

Our experience, having a wedding reception at the Tithe Barn, Old Bell was truly amazing and memorable in a highly positive way.
We hired the Tithe Barn at the Olde Bell for the wedding breakfast for 50 guests and were joined later by a further 60 guests for an evening party.
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.

A Perfect Intimate Wedding at The Malt House – The Olde Bell, Hurley
We celebrated our wedding at The Malt House of The Olde Bell in Hurley on 25.05.2025, and it was everything we hoped for and more. It's an ideal venue for a small, intimate wedding – elegant, charming, and incredibly convenient with everything in one place.
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.

Best day of my life
We had the best wedding day ever at the Olde Bell. It was unforgettable and I’m still on such a high from it all. Leah was incredibly responsive to my endless questions and helped plan our perfect day. Vince was a godsend and made the wedding so seamless. I felt like the most relaxed zen bride ever because of how organised and amazing he was! Guests loved the ham hock leek terrine, beef and cheesecake dessert and loved the gorgeous venue! We can’t say a bad thing about this place and feel so lucky to have had our wedding here ♥️ thank you so much!

Seamless Malt House wedding at The Olde Bell
A huge huge thank you to all the staff at The Olde Bell for helping us create our perfect wedding day.
Vincent our coordinator on the day was incredible, he seemed to have anticipated all our needs and questions before we had even thought of them.
Leah who was our liason from the start was so flexible and diligent. Realising small but incredibly important details such as to ensure the fire alarms were temporarily switched off for when our guests blew out their candles during our ceremony.
Also a special shout out to Dom described as "great craic" by some of our Irish guests.
It was love at first site for us and the Malt House, ideal for smaller intimate weddings. The Oak Room felt like a chapel, and was perfect for our ceremony.
The Music Room and gardens are beautiful and a wonderful setting for the champagne and canapé reception.
For the dining room we had 45 guests on round tables which worked wonderfully. However, you would be hard pressed to get more than 50 in that room and might need to spill over with a table in the garden room.
The honeymoon suite we stayed in was a stunning room, and all our guests were complimentary of their bedrooms.
Thank you so much for creating a wonderful wedding weekend for us and a smooth run up. We can't wait to come back and celebrate various anniversaries here and reminisce.

Shannon and Jordan’s Wedding🤍
We had booked our wedding 2 years in advance with the olde bell, had a few coordinators but in the end, I got Leah which I’m so grateful for, she made sure that we had everything we asked for, she went above and beyond for us and always answered in a timely manner! I made a lot of changes to the package and she went with along with everything I asked for and truly made our day catered to us and it was a beautiful day in the end. I would also love to say how grateful we are for Dominic who went out of his way up until 11pm the night before my wedding to help set out centrepieces and was very knowledgeable on things we were unsure of and we just got on really well! Vincent, who was there for our menu tasting and even though he was working a shift he made time to answer all our questions and didn’t make us feel rushed or silly about some questions we asked, he spent all day putting everything together and had nothing but compliments about the way i had organised everything and how it was all put together which made me feel confident going into my wedding day as our guests reaction was something I was very worried about. Jordan and Terry went above and beyond to cater to my needs on the day even when my favourite alcohol ran out Terry ubered some Malibu and archers just for me which came in about 15 minutes, just something so simple meant a lot to me that they went out of their way to do that. Jordan made sure the sex on the beach cocktails were made perfectly for our guests and both guys were a pleasure to talk to behind the bar. Also a thank you to all the staff who helped out on the day, I apologise I didn’t get everyone’s names but the way our wedding ran so smoothly is something we appreciated more than you know. To the chefs who made mine and our guests food, you are also appreciated and everyone had nothing but compliments about the food and is still the best mushroom arancini I ever had!
Just thank you to everyone, it’s a beautiful day that we will never forget🤍

Wedding Olde Bell March 2025.
From our very first meeting with Leah , we knew we had picked the perfect venue for our wedding. The Tithe Barn is the most beautiful venue to host the special day. Leah communicated ever step with us and her professionalism is outstanding. She liaised with our suppliers to ensure everything was perfect for us. We never felt unsure on any aspect of the day. Vincent was in charge of the day and again his professionalism was unmatched by any previous experience. The day ran perfectly. All our guests commented on how perfect the hotel and all the team were. The food was beautiful and service was the best we had ever experienced. Ruva ran the evening do with the same exceptional standards as Vincent and our guests had the best time. All the hotel team were exceptional and we would very highly recommend the Oldebell Bell as a wedding venue. The service, ambience and the people were the best we have experienced. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming , but not if you have the Olde Bell as your team . Absolutely superb.

H&D Wedding Review 2024
We had such a lovely day. The venue were really accommodating from the day we booked, all the way through to the big day. Really friendly team who went above and beyond, especially on the day! Including making sure my very long veil didn’t get caught on anything as I walked down the aisle!!
Amazing food, and really reasonable pricing. We only wanted a small wedding which most venues didn’t want to accommodate, but the Olde Bell were more than happy to help make a package that worked for us.
Thank you so much again!

Autumn Wedding
We chose to celebrate our wedding day at The Olde Bell in the Tithe Barn. The location suited us perfectly and with the addition of bedrooms onsite made it the perfect choice for us. In the lead up to the wedding our wedding coordinator changed a few times, but Leah was fantastic in the 6 months prior, recording all of our special requests. We were fortunate to be able to access the barn the evening before as we chose to do a number of the decorations ourselves. The venue were good in accommodating our request and also very good at communicating with our suppliers. It would have been useful if the on the day wedding coordinator had been involved in the final details meeting as we had to explain things on the day that had not necessarily been passed over. The meal was really good, however there were slight discrepancies in the meal we tasted and chose and what we were told was on the menu. As a warm and welcoming wedding venue this ticked all the boxes for us, somewhere for guests to gather before the ceremony, overnight accommodation, wet weather suitable and reasonably priced for the location!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
