Mr & Mrs Ellis | 4th July 2026 | Whitley Hall Hotel, Sheffield

The most perfect day🤍

We honestly cannot recommend Whitley Hall Hotel highly enough! From the beautiful venue and incredible staff to our amazing wedding coordinator Amanda, everything was perfect from start to finish. We booked through one of their last-minute availability deals, giving us just 10 months to plan our wedding. Despite the shorter timeframe, we never once felt rushed or under pressure. The whole team made everything so easy and enjoyable.

A special thank you to Amanda, who was incredible throughout as our co ordinator. She was so organised, reassuring and supportive, and on the day made me as a bride feel completely relaxed. She even helped us keep our surprise saxophonist a secret to our guests!

Forever Yours completely brought my vision to life with the styling, floristry, bouquet, buttonholes and Mum’s corsage. Everything was absolutely beautiful.

A huge thank you to Sarah’s Cakes for our gorgeous naked wedding cake and the gluten-free cupcakes she made for one of my best friends. Such a thoughtful touch that meant so much to us. 🤍

Our outdoor ceremony in the Pavilion was beautiful, followed by drinks in the sunshine with our saxophonist. What was meant to be a relaxed drinks reception quickly turned into a full-blown party in 25-degree heat! 🎷 the food, service and room turnaround were fantastic, and every member of staff went above and beyond. Even the following morning, our guests were looked after brilliantly at our wedding breakfast.

What we loved most was that Whitley Hall allowed us to have our day, our way. We never felt rushed and could enjoy being bride and groom our way.

Whitley Hall will always hold such a special place in our hearts, and we feel incredibly lucky that it was the place we became Mr & Mrs Ellis! Thank you for giving us the wedding day we had always dreamed of. We can’t wait to return for our first anniversary🤍

If you’re thinking of booking Whitley Hall — do it! You absolutely won’t regret it.

All our love & appreciation,
Mr & Mrs Ellis 💍

We had our wedding here in the Whitley suite on Saturday 22nd of August. It was the most beautiful day and the venue was perfect! Our wedding coordinated was amazing from start to finish and guided us throughout the whole day. I did all my own decor including a selfie mirror, centrepieces and props for the evening - the venue asked for me to bring this the night before and we didn’t reach them until 9.30pm due to travelling over to Sheffield - this was no problem for them at all and they found us space straight away. The only suggestion I have is that if couples are using an audio guestbook or Photo Booth to have them placed in a different area - ours was placed in the far corner of the Lounge but it was hard to get to due to chairs and most people were in the main area dancing - I’m sure if I had asked for it to be moved they would have but I didn’t think on the day with everything that was happening. I think if space was made in the main dance floor area or by the bar it would have had much more use. Either that or have your dj announce them ❤️ the venue itself though is beautiful and all of the staff are brilliant, friendly and really do work so hard to cater for everyone.

We booked an exclusive wedding at Whitley for June 2026 and, overall, had a beautiful wedding day. There were certainly some positives, but also a number of organisational issues that were disappointing, particularly given the cost of an exclusive wedding package.

The wedding team were typically very quick to respond to emails, which was reassuring whenever we had questions or needed clarification.

The outdoor wedding itself was absolutely beautiful. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, and the team did a great job of getting everything set up on time. There was one seating plan mistake on the day, where guests on two tables were placed incorrectly. We had been asked to check that everything was set up correctly but unfortunately missed this ourselves. Thankfully, it didn't have a significant impact on the day.

A massive thank you also has to go to the venue managers. We thought they were brilliant throughout the planning — attentive, helpful and genuinely excited for your big day.

One of our main concerns was the lack of communication between booking the venue and the final wedding meeting, which took place around a month before the wedding. Once we had booked, we generally didn't hear much from the team, and this could feel quite unsettling when you're planning such an important event. It would have been helpful to have more guidance about what happens next, what we needed to arrange and what we should be thinking about at different stages of the planning process.

We often had to email Whitley with a long list of questions ourselves. To their credit, they generally responded promptly, but we would have appreciated more proactive communication rather than having to seek out the information ourselves.

The night before the wedding, I stayed in the Queen Mary Suite. Unfortunately, this experience was quite disorganised. When I arrived, there wasn't much direction about where to put our decorations. The room also wasn't ready for check-in at 3pm and had been set up for two people rather than the five people. This was eventually resolved within around 30–60 minutes, but it wasn't the ideal start to the wedding weekend.

Despite booking an exclusive wedding, we felt there were surprisingly few staff available on the day. We were told that one of the bartenders had gone home after hurting their foot, which we completely understood. However, we did notice several members of staff on their phones throughout the day rather than working at the bar, and the outdoor bar also closed hours earlier than expected. My husband was given a free drink on the day as an apology, however we had several guests outside who wished to use this bar given the beautiful weather.

Unfortunately, there were also a few items missing after the wedding, including a photo frame and marker pens. Our own napkins, which we had paid for ourselves, were also sent to the dry cleaners and became mixed up with the venue's own items. We completely understood how this could have happened, and on the morning of the wedding we were reassured that our napkins would be posted back to us. We therefore provided our address. However, after around a month of emailing without receiving a response regarding the napkins, followed by several phone calls, we were eventually told that the Forever Yours team did not want to pay for postage and had simply been waiting for us to collect them. This had never been communicated to us. As we live around two hours away, travelling back to collect napkins that we had paid for ourselves was understandably disappointing.

None of these issues spoiled our wedding day, but they did leave us feeling that the organisation and communication could have been much better.

The biggest disappointment of the whole experience, however, was the DJ. Throughout the planning process, there was very little communication from the DJ by either text or email. We had a phone call with him in March, during which he agreed to create a father-daughter remix for our dance. By the end of May, with our wedding taking place in mid-June, we still hadn't received any update from him despite sending numerous emails and texts asking about it. Ultimately, my dad and I had to choose a different song with very little time left before the wedding. I had also created a Spotify playlist for the evening reception and sent this to the DJ in advance. I specifically reiterated in my emails that I would be providing the playlist. At no point did the DJ tell us that he couldn't use Spotify. Then, just 30 minutes before the evening reception, he told me that he was downloading all of the songs because he didn't use Spotify. This was extremely stressful and could easily have been avoided with clearer communication beforehand.

Unfortunately, our first dance was also an issue. My husband and I had chosen a song that was only available on YouTube, and the DJ knew this. He had told us well in advance to put the song onto a USB stick for him to use on the day, so we purchased a USB stick, prepared the song and handed it to the venue the night before the wedding so it could be given to him. During our first dance, we realised that the DJ had played the wrong version of the song. This meant our choreography didn't match the music, and the dance went wrong — particularly upsetting as we had paid for dance lessons specifically for this song. When I subsequently spoke to the DJ about what had happened, I found his response quite defensive and angry. We also discovered that he hadn't actually accepted the USB stick from the venue, despite us following his instructions and preparing it specifically to ensure the correct version was played. This was particularly disappointing and stressful.

Overall, despite all of these issues, we want to stress that they did not ruin our wedding day. The venue itself is beautiful, our outdoor ceremony was stunning, and the venue managers were fantastic and deserve genuine praise for their efforts. However, when booking an exclusive wedding, we expected a higher level of organisation, communication and attention to detail. Most of the smaller issues could have been overlooked, but the problems with the DJ — particularly the lack of communication and the first dance — were much harder to accept because they affected moments that couldn't be repeated.

After 10 years together, on our anniversary weekend we officially became Mr and Mrs. Thanks for making our dreams come true Whitley (05.07.26)

✨ We had our wedding here at Whitley hall at the beginning of the month. What can I say… absolutely incredible. Our every need was catered for, things couldn’t have gone smoother if they tried.

The whole wedding process from start to finish was great! We originally didn’t want a big wedding and even visited Gretna Green to elope, but once we came to Whitley’s open day our minds quickly changed, we absolutely fell in love. Your team of wedding planners and decorators are extremely knowledgable and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process (and believe me a lot of emails were exchanged in the booking and final details stage- sorry🤣)

The evening before our wedding we checked into the gorgeous queen victoria suite which completely set the wedding mood. We were greeted by a lovely receptionist who we luckily had throughout the whole weekend, she couldn’t have done enough for us which we are incredibly grateful for.

Our wedding host was Joe and boy was he amazing. He made the whole day go so smoothly and stress free. An amazing quote from him that day was “don’t stress- you only stress if I’m stressing and I’m not stressing”
Joe was so lovely and me and my husband kept commenting on how great he was- he was beyond helpful. So Thank you so so much Joe!

I highly recommend the in house styling team Forever yours. They made the room look stunning and even set up the things we brought from home (centrepieces etc) they really went the extra mile for us. Correspondence was so easy with them and we had a couple of meetings with them to go over our every needs. They were incredibly well prepared and made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. It took a lot for me to feel okay to step back and let them take control as I’m normally the party planner but they really exceeded my expectations.

The whole staff were so incredible. We did have a small incident where a child became unwell and unfortunately was sick- the staff were straight on it and it was cleaned up in minutes. They repeatedly said it was no trouble and made the situation so much better.

Also… The food was to die for! I’ve had so many people commenting on how incredible it was!

I could go on and on about how amazing this venue is. It was everything we could have dreamed of for our wedding and more. Thank you so much to everyone, we honestly can’t thank you enough

When we walked in we knew the Parker Suite was our venue. The whole experience was fantastic. The day itself was so special and everyone loved the place. So glad we chose Whitley Hall. The staff, setting, food and service were absolutely amazing and it was just wonderful.

We had the most amazing day! Whitley hall you are absolutely stunning the most gorgeous venue we could have asked for! The staff were out of this world helpful and so pleasant and always happy to help with anything you need!
I have to do a special mention to Marie and Laura who helped set all of this up and were so helpful and kept me calm during organising it all!
And the biggest mention is to Joe our wedding manager on the day, he was out of this world helpful and so lovely, me and my now husband couldn’t have praised him more he was genuinely the best.

Myself and husband got married at Whitley Hall on 12/06/26 and could not be happier with the day for a number of reasons.

To begin with, Marie was fantastic from the minute we met her to look round the venue to the continued communication and help throughout our journey in bringing our vision to life. Marie was informative and flexible where possible and went out of her way to accommodate our requests to the best of her ability. We had attended the venue the week before and loved the soup that we both had and mentioned this to Marie as we had selected soup as of starter. Marie went straight to the chef to enquire about whether it would be possible to arrange for this to be catered to for us and to our delight, it wasn’t a problem. Our guests commented on how delicious this was.

Upon collection of our wedding cake it got ruined in transit (the provider accepted liability for this) I was absolutely devastated however my aunty was at the venue and spoke with Callum in the Forever Yours team who saved the day with the “fake cake”. Callum was brilliant and we cannot thank him enough.

Joe was our wedding coordinator for the day and was absolutely fantastic. Joe had a chat with me the evening before to run through the final details ahead of the big day. His organisation, kindness, and genuine care made such a difference and really took the pressure off me and allowed me to fully relax in the morning whilst getting ready as he took care of everything. I especially am so grateful for the hard work and kindness he showed us on our big day.

Liam our bartender was lovely and very attentive to our guests.

The food was fantastic, the service was second to none, the venue was beautiful and we were over the moon with how our the room looked. The atmosphere was warm and professional and the day flowed seamlessly.

Thank you to all involved in making our day so special. It is one that so many people will cherish for a long, long time.

We look forward to seeing you again.

Where to begin. From the moment we booked our wedding at Whitley hall the whole service was second to none. It exceeded any expectations I had and more.
Our day was perfect. Staff went above and beyond and our wedding coordinator Amanda was absolutely incredible. She was so calm, so organised and wowed all of my guests.
Nothing was too much trouble for anyone on the day but most all for Amanda.
The food was amazing. Both our day and night guests were extremely complimentary about both meals.
The venue is amazing and the wedding team styled our venue exactly as we wanted. It looked so much better than I ever imagined, even though not everything was purchased by their in house styling team, they still displayed it perfectly for us.

Thank you to everyone at Whitley for making our day perfect.

The staff at Whitley Hall made our wedding day a stress-free amazing experience. Ruby was our wedding co-ordinator and she did an amazing job! she helped with anything we needed and was lovely the entire time. The day ran smoothly, we were so fortunate for good weather and everything was set up perfectly, the food for our wedding breakfast was AMAZING and altogether it was an amazing day. We had the enchanted package and it really was worth it for us and our guests. My husband and I were so happy with everything

From the moment we started planning our wedding to the day itself, the entire team went above and beyond to help us create the wedding of our dreams. Every member of staff was absolutely incredible, and we will be forever grateful for everything they did for us.

The venue itself completely stole the show. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and perfect it was, and that is a true reflection of the hard work, care and dedication of the amazing team behind it.

Our wedding day ran flawlessly from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organised and timed to perfection, allowing us to relax and enjoy every single moment without any stress or worries. Knowing we were in such capable hands meant the world to us.
One thing that perfectly sums up the level of care we received was when the team remembered to book our extra night for us after we forgot. They were absolutely right – we definitely needed it after such an incredible day!

Our wedding day will remain in our hearts forever, and we cannot thank the team enough for making it so special. If you’re looking for a venue with outstanding staff, exceptional organisation and a truly beautiful setting, we couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Forever grateful,

Mr & Mrs Mason ❤️

I can not sing the praises of this venue and it's staff loudly enough. Our day was perfect from start to finish.

We initially went for the cheaper offer for semi-exclusive use of the venue, however we opted to go for fully exclusive and it was the best decision we made as it gave ourselves and our guests full range of the venue.

The forever yours team attached to the venue sorted our decorations, my wedding parties hair and makeup up and floristry, so all I had to do was tell them what I wanted and they made sure it was perfect.

Our wedding coordinator, Amanda, was incredible and helped the day go so smoothly, our children loved her as well which just helps a busy day go even better.

I would 100% recommend Whitley for anyone who hasn't got the huge price tag and are a busy couple who have no idea what they are doing; as the team will more than help and meet all your expectations and more.

There was only one negative given by my attendees and that was related to the drinks at the meal as the wine wasn't left on the tables which meant, even though some didn't want their wine, it couldn't be distributed to those who were but it's nothing grand scheme!

From the moment we saw the place we fell in love with it, and booked our wedding there and then. Leading up to the wedding, the staff were so professional, understanding and catered for all our needs.
On the day we were greeted by our wedding manager, who was first class, walking us through every step of the day. We felt son comfortable and made to feel so special.
Our special thanks go to Rebecca, Laura and Ruby of the wedding Team.
Thank you all so much for making our day perfect, and us making very special memories. We will definitely be returning to celebrate our anniversaries in the future.
Jason and Dawn, the new Mr&Mrs McDaid

Couldn’t have asked for a more special day! Amazing staff, stunning venue, and such a magical atmosphere. The wedding planner covered every single thing — including so many things I’d never even have thought of. Thanks to everyone at the venue, my wedding day was absolutely perfect. 10/10!

Our wedding was on Sunday 10th May at Whitley Hall and it was the perfect venue. We just want to say a big thank you to Amanda (wedding manager) and also Marie our wedding coordinator who made the day run smoothly and nothing was too much trouble for any of them and also the rest of the staff two who were just brilliant all the way through.
Also, the flowers were amazing too from forever yours.
So thank you to all of you for making it a special magical day because it truly was.

It is a gorgeous venue with great staff! Photographs beautifully. There were only some tiny issues with guests being overcharged rooms and a misunderstanding that we weren't having a cake cut, all resolved though and the cake knife was already out so not really an issue at all. I recommend emailing in as they are so responsive and answered all my questions quickly, and I asked a lot of questions. Very flexible to what you want for your wedding and any changes you might make, lots of packages to suit everyone, delicious food and a decorating team can be found on the same. I highly recommend this venue!
