Anything was possible!

Overall the whole day/ night was incredible very well organised and the rooms went beyond our expectations! Melissa and Nat are a massive credit to the hotel very attentive, caring and just generally lovely ladies, to get along with. Without Melissa and Nat the day would not of been anything like it was (whatever we wanted they made happen without hesitation) and deserve a bonus for each wedding lol. The food was fantastic throughout and was topped up until everyone was full. I cant thank everyone within the Palace Hotel enough for accommodating my mum (very limited mobility) to the length they did for her and making it as comfortable as possible and for that I will be forever grateful for.

A fairytale wedding dream come true.

Myself and my husband Paul first discovered The Palace Hotel back in February 2022 after searching for Wedding Venues in one of our favourite places Buxton.

Paul contacted the Hotel and arranged for a meeting and show around with one of the Wedding and Events Co-ordinator's, we went to the meeting with my mum Rebecca and Pauls dad Ian, we all fell in love with the Hotel and my mum said if your happy and you want your wedding here I will secure the date and pay the deposit.

Flashing forward to The Big Day!

My morning started early along with my Bridal party for us to have our hair and makeup done and to get ready, as discussed and arranged with the Hotel we had our breakfast orders sent to the beautiful Palace Suite which was lovely. Both Melissa and Fiona came to see me in the suite and check that myself and my Bridal party were doing ok, Melissa and Fiona were so comforting and helpful as they have been from the very start, no request was ever too much and along with Melissa and Fiona the whole of the hotel crew from all departments went above and beyond as they always have done each time we have visited the hotel for both meetings about the wedding and also on the many social occasions we have spent there with our family, the hotel truly is a home away from home for Myself and Paul.

The whole day ran smoothly and every detail was perfect thanks to the venue stylists Alison, Abbie and their team at Rumour Entertainments who worked along side the Hotel crew.

Our three course meal was delicious and very filling all of our guests commented on how the food was the best they had, ever at a wedding and each and everyone of us was full which kept us all going until the evening buffet which was also delicious and filling, our compliments were made to the chef's for their wonderful food.

We had The Chatsworth Suite for our ceremony and our wedding sit down meal, the room turn around that was in place between the ceremony and wedding sit down meal was carried out whilst ourselves and our wedding guests were outside for photo's and whilst we went across to the gardens at the park for further photo's which we travelled to in horse and carriage which was a beautiful experience, Melissa and Fiona both took good care of the horse and carriage on the day and made sure that all went smoothly.

The Evening Reception started off with an Elvis Tribute followed by a Celine Dion Tribute both artists were taken good care of during their time at the Hotel. The rest of the evening was taken care of by Natalie and the rest of the events team and they made sure we were all having the best time.

From start to finish the Hotel team and everyone else who helped to make our day so special have truly become good friends who we know we will see often as our time visiting the lovely Hotel is not over as it has become one of our favourite places to visit.

Autumn wedding

We chose this beautiful hotel for our wedding as it is so grand and has so much character. The rooms for our ceremony and receptions were lovely and really added to making our wedding day extra special.
The staff are friendly and the food is lovely. The bridal suite was amazing!!
Our wedding organiser Mel was brill, so easy to chat to and offered lots of advise and was always available if we had any queries.
We looked at quite a few venues that offered very little for the money they wanted. We got so much more for our money at The Palace.

The best day

We are so glad that we chose the Palace Hotel for our wedding venue.

The support that we received from the wedding coordinator Melissa was faultless. She was involved in so much of the planning which really took the pressure off of us and made the wedding planning process enjoyable. Every time we met her we left the meeting feeling positive and excited, and felt confident in her. We are also extremely grateful that she agreed to meet us on Saturdays as we both work full time during the week, and also she replied to my emails very quickly which also made me feel at ease. She was very professional, but also really friendly and approachable. She came up with a schedule that worked well for us and allowed us time to go to a local valley for our photos. Nat was also co-ordinating the day and we were so impressed by her hard work as well, she really helped the day to flow smoothly.

The venue is absolutely stunning with big bright rooms and traditional elements. The venue dressing and DJ were also brilliant. We absolutely loved the decor and it was even better than what we were hoping for! We can't believe how much decor was included in the package price, and the optional extras eg flower arch were well priced and looked lovely. We loved doing the wedding as a package, it made the planning so much easier.

The bridal suite to get ready in was so nice, and we also enjoyed the menu tasting.

Overall we had such a good experience at the Palace Hotel, particularly due to Melissa and the wonderful staff. We would highly recommend a wedding at this venue.

The perfect day

My husband and I got married at The Palace Hotel on 12/05/17. The day was truly magical. Everything ran so smoothly and that is thanks to the hotel's amazing staff. In particular Fiona, our wedding co-ordinator and George, our incredible toastmaster. Nothing at all was too much trouble for either of them. They genuinely cared and wanted to make sure we had our perfect day. We definitely did!! The turn around of rooms was so well done, the food was simply gorgeous, we've had so many comments off friends and family!, tge added touches were fab too. The bridal suite was lovely (the only suggestion for improvement would be to add a bridal hook or rail to hang your dress on!) The grounds and hotel itself are stunning also, which made for fantastic wedding pictures. Thank you Fiona, George and all the rest of the team that helped make our day so special. I would recommend a Palace Hotel wedding in a heartbeat.
Louise and John Welsh.

We have only just managed to sit down to type this email after our little minimoon but we both wanted to say a massive thank you to yourself and your team. We couldn't be happier with how the whole day was managed and the excellent organisation, beforehand and also during with you guys in the front seat.

You have all done such a fantastic job and nothing was too much trouble for you, and we wanted to ensure that you knew it didn't go unnoticed.

We both came away feeling so happy with the whole weekend and a lot of that is down to you and your team.

Again, many thanks for everything! I'm sure you will be making a lot more couples happy if our wedding was anything to go by.

We are local to the area and the Palace Hotel was the place to have our wedding. We booked our wedding package in August and the people we have dealt with Dominic, Alistair and Fiona have been really helpful, nothing is too much trouble and George who was our toastmaster was fantastic. The whole day was just amazing and flawless the food was lovely and absolutely nothing was too much trouble, from the bar staff to the waiters / waitresses they were all helpful and polite. We can highly recommend the Palace Hotel for a wedding, a special occasion or just a chance to enjoy the Peak District. Thank you to all of the staff at the Palace Hotel who made our wedding day so special.
