Exceptional service and totally faultless!

We held our wedding breakfast and reception at the University Arms in September 2025 for around 80 people. Everything went perfectly from start to finish. Elle, our wedding co-ordinator, was absolutely fantastic and attentive in helping us create our vision. University Arms allowed us to visit as frequently as we wanted and they were very accomodating to our wants and needs. Our guests were super happy on the big day, many complimented on the food (for which the quality was far above standard wedding food) and the staff at University Arms were amazing, super attentive, polite and fast service. The ballroom is also stunning by itself, which saved us £££s for not having to decorate a blank canvas.

On our big day (unbeknownst to us), we had a last minute mishap with one of our guests requiring a space for the guest's mother to take care of the baby and University Arms provided a private room next to the ballroom for them to stay in for the duration of the reception, no questions asked! The University Arms clearly know how to run a wedding reception seamlessly and we are so glad to have held our wedding there.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
