We had an intimate wedding, with 29 guests, in the main house and it was absolutely beautiful from start to finish. Every single member of staff was incredible and couldn’t do enough for us. They made us feel so relaxed and looked after throughout the whole day, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The rooms were gorgeous and perfect for our closest family to stay in, and the venue itself is just stunning. Everywhere you look is so picturesque, which made for the most amazing photos. The food was also outstanding. So many of our guests commented on how incredible it was, and we’re still hearing about it now! A huge thank you to everyone at Downham Hall for making our day so special. We’ll never forget it and couldn’t have wished for a better place to get married. We can’t wait to come back and visit! · via Google [Laura Orr](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117390713750387918412/reviews) ★★★★★ From the moment we first visited Downham Hall, we knew it was somewhere truly special. Our wedding day exceeded every expectation we had. A very special thank you must go to Debra, our wedding coordinator, who was exceptional from beginning to end. I can be quite particular and wanted everything to be exactly as I had imagined, but nothing was ever too much trouble. Debra was patient, reassuring, highly organised and always happy to answer my many questions. The communication throughout the planning process was excellent, with regular meetings, prompt responses and thoughtful guidance every step of the way. We also thoroughly enjoyed being invited to a tasting menu before selecting our wedding breakfast, which made the experience feel even more personal and exciting. On the day itself, every member of staff was outstanding. They were warm, friendly, approachable and professional at all times, ensuring that both we and our guests felt genuinely welcomed and exceptionally well looked after. The weather was absolutely beautiful, although exceptionally hot, but the team were fully prepared and managed every detail with complete ease. The entire day ran seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment without a single concern. The venue itself is simply stunning. Every room is beautifully presented and it is clear that an enormous amount of care has been taken with every last detail. The gardens and outdoor spaces provided the perfect setting for our reception drinks and photographs. At times, it genuinely felt as though we were celebrating at a destination wedding, whilst still having all of our family and friends with us. The food also deserves particular recognition. So many of our guests commented on how delicious every course was. Downham Hall catered brilliantly for every taste, including even the fussiest of eaters. The quality, presentation and service were all first class. We also felt that Downham Hall offered excellent value for money. The level of personalised service, attention to detail and genuine care we received throughout the planning process, together with the support on the day itself, was outstanding. At no point did we feel like just another wedding booking. Instead, everyone made us feel that our wedding day was just as important to them as it was to us. We simply cannot recommend Downham Hall highly enough. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with exceptional staff who are genuinely dedicated to making your wedding day everything you have dreamed of, this is the perfect choice. We are incredibly grateful to Debra and the entire team for giving us the most wonderful day and memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We are already looking forward to returning to Downham Hall for a meal in the restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, although we are certain we will visit long before then. · via Google [Sarah Fall](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112081021455826877342/reviews) ★★★★★ We had our intimate wedding ceremony at Downham Hall and couldn’t have picked a better venue for us.
