We had a brilliant wedding on 20th April 2018. It was an absolutely stunning venue and a perfect sunny day. We couldn't have asked for anymore.



Sally was with us from day 1 and helped us out lots including booking a room for me and my bridesmaids the night before.



My step mum was gluten free and my cousin was vegan and both were provided special meals and nothing was too much trouble.



The food was absolutely delicious so many guests complimented us on our food.



The bar man that was present all day and evening was brilliant (I dont know his name but he made our day really special), he couldn't do enough for us the night before the wedding and all day on the wedding day. He made us laugh lots and even when I was waiting to walk down the aisle he came to wish me luck and made me laugh to calm my nerves. He even made sure there were seperate utensils for my gluten free guest to avoid cross contamination which my step mum really appreciated.



The DJ was fabulous too, we gave him a list of requests beforehand and he made sure our evening do ran smoothly and kept us in the loop of what was happening when which was great. He even arranged for food to be kept for us to eat at the end of the night incase we didn't get chance.



Finally a big thanks to our toast master, he was brilliant! We felt so well looked after all day, nothing was too much trouble for him and he made our day run so smoothly. We can't thank him enough.



We would definitely recommend this venue to anyone and wish we could do it all again!

We got married here on 5/5/18 & it was absolutely perfect! Right from the first time we visited as a potential wedding venue we knew this was where we wanted to get married, We had been to around 15 other venues but as soon as We stepped in to kings Croft we knew it was the one. All the staff have been amazing from start to finish especially Abby who dealt with us through most of the planning. Nothing was too much trouble for them at all. The night before the wedding we needed rooms for travelling family & they managed to accommodate us all & on the day everything ran to a tee. Our toastmaster was brilliant & Getting married in the pavilion with its stunning backgrounds was breath taking. Liz dealt with the running of the day and she was great! The food was delicious & everyone commented on how good it tasted. We had the venues photographer Paul and he was amazing, printing off pictures for guests to look at throughout the day! Mark our dj was fab & had all our guests up and dancing plus the fireworks we had topped off the night perfectly. Thank you so so much for making our day everything we wished for.

We got married at kings Croft a few weeks ago. It was absolutely perfect!! We couldn’t fault a thing. The staff are amazing they were so helpful. From the minute we stepped into kings cross we knew we wanted to get married there and from our first meeting with Abby she helped us plan our perfect day. Couldn’t recommend the place or the staff more!! Thank you!�

My husband and I married at The Kings Croft on the 9th June 2018. What a fantastic venue, we had loads of guests state how perfect it was and accommodating for a wedding. The staff at the hotel are fantastic and the food is amazing. Will definitely visit their restaurant again and pop in to see all of the friendly faces. Thank you so much! Love Mark and Lindsey Midgley

I love this place I never wanted to leave we got married here on 28/05/18 and we couldn’t of wished for a better day from the minute I arrived on the Sunday to the moment we left on Monday we were well looked after the staff are brilliant so friendly... I’m so sad it’s all over I have to say a massive thankyou to the hotels photographer Paul he made me feel amazing all day even when I was shattered and looked a mess...thankyou to everyone at kings croft for making our day the best day we could of hoped for xx

I got married here in the pavilion followed by reception in the kings suite on 13/05/2018. The day couldn’t have been any more perfect, the venue is amazing, so much opportunity for photographs as the surroundings are beautiful (even our photographer was buzzing) the staff are first class, Abbie our wedding coordinator and Brian our toastmaster ensured our day ran perfectly. Brian keeping things moving along nicely, letting us know what’s happening where and when and ensuring we were happy with everything as we went. The food was gorgeous and service throughout the meal was very good, usually expect slow service with large parties but staff ensured everyone was eating at more or less the same time. The setting up of our reception by staff was great, hubby was very pleased as he was supplied with his drink of choice allday (fussy) by staff. Have to say our meal the night before was first class and all our guests commented on the breakfast aswell saying how delicious it was. One worry I had was that as there was so many weddings on that our wedding parties might end up mixed or there may be confusion, I can honestly say the only time we crossed paths was when the two bride and grooms were out doing sunset photographs, otherwise we wouldnt have known the other one was on. Really wouldn’t have one complaint to make about the whole place and service. Even the odd bits that I (the bride) forgot to bring in the stress of remembering everything, staff sent up to our room. One question please can we do it all again !? ��

I got married here at Saturday 23/6/18 we were planning our wedding for 2 years and Sally was there to help us every step of the way and couldn’t do enough for us... well me who phoned all the time to check small details. Every member of staff who was involved with the day whether they were bar staff, waiters (especially Liz) and our toast master Brian couldn’t have been better. Our day ran perfectly from start to finish. We had a minor issue the day before and Corina came to our rescue! There are no amount of thanks we can say to this hotel for making our day perfect in every way possible!

User

I got married at Kings Croft on 02/03/18, what a wonderful day! A huge thank you to all the staff and our lovely toastmaster who made the day run smoothly and to Paul the photographer for the amazing photos that kept appearing throughout the evening, we can't wait to see them all again! The food was lovely so a big shout out to the chef and staff in the kitchen! We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our big day, the Pavilion gave us stunning surroundings for our ceremony and the Queen's Suite was just right for the rest of our day. The room and tables were set up just how we wanted them and provided us the opportunity for more lovely photos inside when it got a little cold outside! Once again thank you to everyone who helped make our day special! Mr & Mrs Walker (James and Charlotte)

I find it difficult to understand the negative reviws on this site. Kings croft hosted our wedding on the 13.02.18 which was also my 50th birthday. When our wedding was booked I was just starting my chemo treatment they were caring understanding and very supportive. On the day of our wedding they could do enough for us our our guests. The whole day was fantastic, the food was amazing the staff were wonderful. I can not thank them enough for making our day so special. Xx

Had our reception in the kings suite here on 4th May and couldn't have asked for a better day. The staff went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly and be the best it could be. Food was amazing all the guest have complemented on what they are and how well the staff completed the service. And our toastmaster was detrimental in making our day perfect as he went out of his way to sort any little problem that came up

User

Came to the spring wedding fair and had a carvery meal whilst we were there. The food was absolutely gorgeous, pate was lovely as was the roast beef. I was too full for a pudding!

I’d booked for half one & got round the fair quicker than we thought, they squeezed us in early which was fantastic but wouldn’t have minded waiting. Lovely staff xxx

Attended my sister's grandsons wedding Daniel Wood to Lauren Lavelle on Sunday 3 June, it was perfect from start to finish. Most of the family stayed over, rooms spotless and comfortable, the wedding ran like clockwork, the meal and later hog roast was delicious, can't praise this hotel enough, we all enjoyed every minute, thank you

Me and my wife got married here, it was a brilliant day the staff where amazing and made sure everything went smoothly. They helped us plan and where happy to be phoned over the slightest thing, bar staff where smiley and friendly the food was amazing and the photographer was so friendly and his photos where amazing. I would of put 5 stars if it wasn’t for the DJ my advice to anyone is take your own DJ and don’t use the kings crofts own, he kept getting our names wrong and rewind the first dance in an embarrassing way, apart from that over all is was brilliant well recommended it would of been perfect in every way with a different DJ.

Went 12/04/18 had a meal in Henry v111. Been a lot but was very disappointed this time. Lad who greated us didn't seem to like his job, table had salt all over it & no napkins. Asked for rib eye steak cooking medium, 1/2 was ok other 1/2 was raw. Took someone who hasn't been before & they won't go back after the service we got �

We were here last night to “watch” the tribute peter Kay... lee lard . Watch unfortunately was not the right word, as we “squeezed “ in like sardines... and behind a massive pillar !!!! so we couldn’t even see anything !!!!
