Absolutely Perfect Wedding Day – 28th June 2025

From the moment we booked our wedding at The Royal Toby Hotel, we knew we were in safe hands – but the team went far beyond our expectations. Every single member of staff was amazing, going that extra mile to support not only us but also our guests, making everyone feel welcome and cared for.

A very special mention has to go to Chelsea and Joe, who made the whole journey truly magical. From the early stages of planning and preparation, to the smooth running of the big day itself, and even helping us pack the car the next morning – nothing was ever too much trouble. Their attention to detail, calm reassurance, and genuine kindness made us feel so supported every step of the way.

The package we chose included everything we could possibly think of – and more! From the beautiful setting and delicious food to thoughtful touches we didn’t even realise we’d need. We were even delighted to find it included a complimentary dine and stay for our first wedding anniversary, which is such a lovely way to continue the memories.

Our guests haven’t stopped telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to – and some have even booked meals at the Royal Toby restaurant for their own special occasions after experiencing the food and service.

The Royal Toby has truly thought of everything. We cannot thank them enough for making our wedding day exactly as we dreamed – relaxed, joyful, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a venue that cares as much about your day as you do, this is the place.

Best day ever!

We got married at The Royal Toby in The Rhyddings Suite at the end of August this year. We found the packages really reasonable. The menu choices were amazing, so much more choice than any other venue and the food was amazing. The venue itself is just beautiful and great for photos and the hotel rooms lovely too. Our wedding organisers Chelsea and Joe were simply amazing, they are made for this job! Nothing is too much trouble, they have excellent knowledge and advice, brilliant communication and on the day they kept everything running perfectly and always with a smile on their faces! The other staff members were also brilliant. We are so glad we booked this venue and would recommend it to anyone 100%!

12th April 2025 🩷💚

From booking our wedding to the morning after the big day the staff at the toby were amazing. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Both Chelsea & Joe helped us with all the planning and we couldn't fault them, they took our vision and helped us with all the finer details. The day itself ran better than we imagined, the set up was beautiful and all the finishing touches were perfect. Chelsea was on hand if we needed anything and the ensure the day ran smoothly. We had lots of guests so it was very busy but nothing was too much for the staff. Guests have told us how it's the best wedding they've been to and how gorgeous the food was. We highly recommend The Toby and would love to repeat the day if we could!

Lovely venue with great staff.

We had a twilight wedding in August and had a great day. Chelsea the events manager is fantastic and helped us every step of the way. We wanted a smaller more intimate wedding and The Royal Toby was perfect for this. A lot of our guests stayed over and all gave good reviews too.
Thank you to all the staff who made our day and evening perfect ❤️

Mr & Mrs Wild

What an amazing day nothing was too much for Joe,Chelsea and the rest of their team they went above and beyond for us they allowed us to have our wedding how we wanted it unlike other venues. The package included everything you need from chair bows with your choice of colour to the night time dj. All we had to do was add our little bits to it. Nothing was too much and nothing went wrong on the day either everything was perfect. Do not hesitate at booking your wedding here!

100/10 would highly recommend!!

You are in extremely good hands if you decide to get married here with Chelsea and the team.

When planning the big day nothing is ever too much trouble, everything is catered for what you need and the whole process was super easy and stress free.

The day was an absolute dream. Everything ran so smoothly and everyone had the best day ever. We didn’t need to worry about a thing. The staff on the day took care of everything. Everyone who attended could not believe how amazing everything was. And the food was unreal!!

We would highly recommend staying at the hotel too, the service, the room and the breakfast was brill!

We cannot praise Chelsea, Alan and all the staff who made our day so special enough. They were so attentive, hardworking and went above and beyond for everyone present on the day. It was the best day of our lives and it was all down to them!

It Was Absolutely Perfect!

Jordan, what can I say about the day? It was absolutely perfect thanks to you, Joe and everyone at the Royal Toby. We still get tearful when we think about it.

I’m sure many people have said this but it feels like an out of body experience!! As much as anyone says try to take it all in it feels like a blur!

We can’t thank you all enough!

Love, the Smiths xxx
