We first viewed this venue in September 2021 as a potential Wedding Venue. From the moment we visited we knew it was for us. The venue is relaxed, welcoming and modern, yet still manages to keep its rustic charm.
All of the staff are amazing - on the several times we have visited everyone is so friendly and hardworking, none more so than on the wedding day. Shirley also is the face behind pearlescent events who beautifully decorated the venue on our day and is extremely friendly, helpful and talented! Matt (our wedding co-ordinator) could not have done any more to make the day run smoothly. Not only was he extremely helpful in the planning process, but on the day turned his hand to just about anything! Including helping with the groom party's buttonholes and pocket squares, helping dress and organise the room, handing out fans to the guests and even helping to assist our flower girl to walk down the aisle when she got stage fright! He even had a hoover in his hand at one stage! All while ensuring timings were kept to plan and ensuring all guests were happy.
We visited a number of times for food prior to our wedding day and it was superb. The food at our wedding had rave reviews from everyone. The chocolate fondant was the best we have ever had and was the highlight of everyone's meal! All dietary requirements were more than catered for - even at the evening reception where vegan, vegetarian and gluten free pizzas were made! There is also a great selection of drinks, all very reasonably priced.
The venue itself is perfect for a wedding. We got married on a very hot day and the garden area was perfect - spacious, plenty of seating and shade. Everyone commented on how beautiful the venue is, outside and inside. The Harrington suite was also perfect - it accommodated 80 day and 120 evening guests comfortably. The room itself was perfect for the ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception - having its own separate bar and toilets for the wedding guests.
A large number of guests stayed at Healds hall for either 1/2 nights. The rooms are comfortable and again very reasonably priced - the hotel even provided fans as it was very warm. The breakfast included provided many options - continental and a cooked breakfast to order and was delicious. On a side note, there are plenty of other hotels nearby which enabled guests to stay locally when all of the rooms were booked by our guests (approx 24 rooms). The staff couldn't have been more helpful in helping to arrange taxi's on the night.
The day itself was perfect and we truly feel this was down to our amazing suppliers and the team at Healds Hall. They simply could not do enough for us and the attention to detail was just amazing. We would recommend this venue to anyone getting married. The day itself felt so special and personable and this is something that not every venue can offer.
A massive thankyou to Matt, Emma and all the staff at Healds Hall - we simply cannot thank you enough x
