Amazing service and friendly staff!

We got married at Wood Hall in March 2023 and the day couldn’t have been any better! From our first viewing of the venue to check out the day after, everybody we dealt with was kind and helpful. The venue is beautiful and the food was amazing, we had lots of comments from our friends who are vegan about how good the food was compared to other weddings they’d attended! We had our own coordinator, Georgia, who was so knowledgeable and organised - she really made our wedding planning process so easy and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wood Hall to anyone thinking of getting married there. Nothing was too much trouble, including multiple last minute changes to seating charts, and making sure my pregnant maid of honour had her own alcohol free fizz for speeches. Wish we could do it all over again!

Perfect Day

We had the best day at Wood Hall for our wedding. Everything from the venue, to the staff, to the timings of the day was everything we could have asked for. All of our guests were so complimentary on the venue and staff. You only have to look at the views at this beautiful hotel to know it is a perfect location for a wedding. We highly recommend this venue and only wish we could do our wedding day again!

Our perfect wedding venue!

Beautiful venue, extremely helpful staff and superb food!!

We held our wedding at Wood Hall on Friday 26th August 2022, they helped to create a day we will never forget. Rachel & Georgia, our wedding co-ordinators, were extremely helpful from the moment we visited. They provided a lot of support and advice throughout the planning of our wedding.
Sarah & Marissa looked after us on the day, nothing was too much trouble. The day was very smooth and every little detail was covered.
The team went out of their way to add little personalised extras throughout our wedding day, which was a lovely surprise and made the day feel even more special.

We wish we could hold our wedding day all over again, it was perfect and Wood Hall helped create such a special day for us.

Amazing Wedding Experience

All round Wood Hall Hotel was absolutely fabulous! The Wedding Team were so helpful and made the whole day stress free and an amazing experience. Throughout the whole planning stages and the concerns about COVID they were nothing but helpful and supportive. The day went so smoothly to a point where we had to do nothing on the day and everything went without a hitch. The venue was so helpful in the run up to the wedding with people having to drop out and were so accommodating of everything and we truly couldn't have asked for a better day.

Nothing was too much trouble

Everything went to plan! Nothing was too much. They really did go over and above. If the shift ended for someone they made sure I knew who was in charge. Brilliant from start to finish!

thank you for all your help making our wedding day

Just a little note to thank you for all your help making our wedding day everything we hoped for (in particular the little sun dance you were doing on the run up to day!!) who would have thought we would have got the outdoor ceremony we so wanted! We had the perfect day, it just went far too quick, we had lots of comments on the food. We will miss coming to Wood Hall so frequently but we will definitely come and stay for our date nights when we don't have the kids! Thanks Again Love Dawn & Pete
