Nothing was too much trouble
Down Hall was without question the perfect setting for our wedding in March of this year. We both fell in love with the location as soon as we arrived, driving along the beautiful drive, up to the magnificent house and well maintained gardens. Internally, the decor is luxurious with lots of ornate detailing and an abundance of natural light. Externally, the grounds are a perfect size with lots of interesting features for some memorable wedding photographs. The staff are extremely attentive both during the preparations and also on the big day itself. We felt confident that everyone knew exactly what was expected from them and nothing was too much trouble when you needed something. Particular mention must go to Maria (Wedding Coordinator) and Andrew (Toastmaster) who were exceptional throughout. Whether you are having a large wedding or more intimate day, we have no hesitation in recommending Down Hall and its staff, who went over and above making our wedding day so perfect.

Beautiful venue in and out
My husband and I got married at Downhall in August 2018 we viewed over 6 different venues and Downhall is by far the superior! it is a stunning and beautiful venue in and out! The staff are friendly and helpful. Food is delicious and the rooms are spacious and excellent. We received lots of wonderful comments on our wedding day about the venue and the day itself. We had a lovely day! cannot recommend Downhall enough. If your looking to get married then Downhall is the place! you will not be disappointed. Check it out!

Faultless!
Down Hall is faultless. Amazing venue, guest rooms, staff, facilities and food – everything was perfect on our special day. So many photo opportunities if the weather isn’t great on your big day as the grounds and interior are stunning. From the moment we drove up the main entrance we knew we had to get married here and that was before we’d even stepped through the door! The area getting ready in the morning was so beautiful, as is everything about this venue. The staff worked so hard to ensure our big day went without a glitch and the wedding planners are incredible and so accommodating – and clearly have the patience of a saint as we all know how stressful wedding planning can be! Nothing was ever too much trouble and the food was exceptional and the party in the evening was packed all night on the dancefloor, right through to closing at 1am and then the party afterwards in the hotel bar – our guests were thoroughly entertained. I only have great things to say about this venue – it was the most magical day and will always be very special to us. Thank you so much – I wish we could do it all again!

Perfect wedding
From start to finish I can’t fault Down Hall! From the moment I went to the open day I knew I had to get married here. Marie our wedding co-ordinater was fantastic from Day one, she was always available and was happy to answer any questions I had, She was so helpful and just a really lovely person overall. It made the experience stress free (believe it or not) If you are thinking about getting married here and just can’t decided my advice is just to do it you will not be dissapointed. Our Wedding day couldn;t have gone better it was so well planned and everything looked amazing. Can’t fault the staff they were all fantastic, every single one. The rooms are lovely too and the food was exceptional. If I could do it all again I wouldn’t change a thing!
