Our perfect wedding

We could not rate the Three HorseShoes highly enough. We met with Lisa to discuss planning our wedding and booked for April 25. Lisa helped us to organise everything and when I came to the big day McCaila was on hand for every little detail. The event team were truly amazing, meticulous for detail and guided us every step of the way. They simply could not do enough for us. McCaila was the most bubbly beautiful person to work with and she really interacted with our guests, helping to put everyone at ease. The food in our wedding reception was so nice everyone commented! I would also highly recommend the mini moon package the next day. It was the best possible wind down. The spa facilities, jacuzzi, massage and bubbly were just what we needed. We want to thank you ever so much for giving us the best wedding we could have asked for. Mr and Mrs Swann xx

The best day of our lives!

Thank you so much to all the staff at The Three Horseshoes! From the beginning Lisa made us feel reassured and comfortable. Lisa is an absolute credit to the team, we felt like we struck gold when we found out she would be there with us on the day. Thank you so much to McCaila who took time to push our baby around the gardens whilst we had our moment and kept him asleep. From offering to blend food for him, washing his bowl and spoon, we cannot thank you enough as parents. Lisa was incredible with our eldest son who was super nervous but magically gave him confidence on the day to walk me down the aisle, which means the absolute world. He also says thank you Lisa for the sweets! I had huge nerves before I walked down the aisle, and Lisa calmed me down and stayed with me until it was time to go. Nothing was ever too much, no question was too daft and you made us feel like it was home for the day. The venue was beautiful, the gardens were stunning, everything was spectacular. You made our day perfect, as parents we Thank you so much. But also as Bride and Groom, thank you because you made our day perfect and we wish we could re live it all. Thank you so much Lisa, McCaila, Kirsty and all the staff at the shoes. You are AMAZING and the shoes will forever be a special place to us. Mr & Mrs Symonds xxxx

Massive thank you

What can I say about our wedding at The Three Horseshoes Inn, Leek
From start to finish the whole day was absolutely amazing.
Lisa and the team of staff really went above and beyond to make our day perfection.
Myself and my bridesmaids had the bridal prep room from early morning and at all times we were comfortable and kept fully up to date with development elsewhere such as venue dressers and other suppliers arriving.
The wedding breakfast was beautiful, everything was cooked perfectly and the evening buffet was superb.
Later on we partied the night away with the in house DJ who really brought the vibes and kept the guests dancing. At the end of the night we didn't want him to stop he was that good.
We stayed in the bridal suite for our first night as husband and wife and everything was so comfortable, we even had a massage bath
Breakfast in the morning was plentiful and just what we needed after our big day.
We cannot recommend this venue and the team enough. Thank you for a perfect wedding.

Amazing Venue

We had our wedding at The Three Horseshoes on the 18th October and from start to finish everything was perfect. From booking and having meetings with the venue to the actual day was just fantastic service! Lisa who we had our final meeting with just put our minds at rest and explained what would happen on the day in full detail and listened to everything we wanted. McCaila who was our wedding coordinator on the day was absolutely fantastic! I was so nervous and she instantly put my mind at rest and made sure everything run exactly how it should! She even threw my veil in the air for pictures and got so involved it was amazing! All the staff involved on the day were brilliant! The food was amazing and they even catered for my little girl who is dairy and soya intolerant, nothing was too much trouble! We 100% recommend The Three Horseshoes and it was the best decision we made to get married at this beautiful venue!! Thank you to everyone at the horseshoes who made our day so magical!

My Dream fairytale wedding!!!

Our wedding day was at the AMAZING Three Horseshoes Country Inn & Spa on Saturday 12th October 24.

I was cinderella for the day and married my prince! From the moment we woke until we went bed it was a magical day... We initially booked our wedding in January 23 when we first visited the venue we knew it was the one. Everything about it just felt perfect. Before we got married we would often visit the venue for some food or a cheeky spa overnight stay. This venue has everything to offer and is very affordable price too. We had our final meeting with Lisa and she explained everything that would happen on the day and made us free at ease before the big day.

The staff are all absolutely amazing and always went above and beyond for us . We are forever grateful for making our day so special and for all the memories that we will treasure forever. So a massive thank you to all the entire team at Three horseshoes!!!! We can't wait to see you soon ❤️❤️. Special mention to McCaila, Kirsty & Chelsea who looked after us all day. You are an absolute credit to the three horseshoes and amazing at what you do!!! You made me relax and enjoy every single second of my wedding.. The whole day was perfectly organised and I didn't worry about anything.

Overall we were so overwhelmed with how perfect the day went.

The three horseshoes gets a massive recommend from us for anyone to get married here!!!!!!

Thank you from the new Mr & Mrs Adams ❤️

Our amazing day

From start to finish this venue and all its staff were absolutely perfect. All the details are there. From when we first went to look around before booking, right up to our big day itself this place doesn’t miss a beat. The staff are so professional and so clued up on how you want your day to run, you literally have to worry about nothing. They are very happy to cater for whatever kind of wedding you want. I mean we even had some alpacas outside just for fun! The weather on our wedding day was shocking but even still with the large canopy outside people could still enjoy the beautiful outdoor seating areas and the rain would be the only thing we would change about our day. My wife and I often say we just want to do it all over again and not change a thing and so much credit has to go to the team at the three horseshoes for that because they did an amazing job even bringing the food service forward because the weather looked like improving and they wanted us to get some nice pictures. Would recommend them over and over

Summer Wedding

The Three Horseshoes have been the most amazing venue and team. They have been so helpful and responsive from the start and couldn’t do enough to help our day run smoothly.

The venue is beautiful, the food exceptional. Can’t recommend enough. On the day the team made sure we were relaxed and had everything we needed.

We had lots of young families at our wedding so the climbing frame was a hit!

A great venue with fab packages

We recently marries at the Three Horseshoes. We took advantage of their mid week package which meant that we could have the luxury of their incredible venue and services with a reasonable cost. The lead up to the wedding was stress free with the venue being very responsive. The day went perfectly, the staff were communicative and couldn't have been more helpful. One very happy Bride & Groom who would highly recommend!

Perfect from start to finish

Our wedding day at the three horseshoes was everything we could have dreamed of and MORE! I couldn’t possibly put into words how amazing it was but I will mention a few of the stand out points for us! The wonderful staff made everything stress free and were on hand to help at all times - special mentions to Lisa and Molly who looked after us on the day. We had so many compliments from guests on the food, it truly was delicious from the wedding breakfast to the buffet! The DJ in the evening was fabulous and had everybody up on the dance floor. The views and gardens for the photographs were beautiful. Truly and utterly amazing - would recommend to everybody.

Wedding Louise & Jason Green

We had the best day and everything was brilliant from start to finish. The staff dealt with every request and were very helpful and friendly. We would recommend anyone wanting a well organised day to book their wedding at the three horse shoes…
The venue is perfect and the gardens with the spectacular backdrop of the roaches is beautiful for photos. We stayed for an extra night to make use of the spa to relax and enjoy a discounted minimoon which was the best decision after a busy day. Thank you for making it such a memorable day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
