Best Wedding Reception and Dinner
Me and my husband had a fantastic time in The Cumberland hotel in Red room. We celebrated our lovely wedding with my friends and family. I would like to thank you amazing team especially Lisa Dowdall-Sousa who organised everything so perfectly like she read my mind :D how I want everything to be located. Thank you to her husband Inacio who made sure everything went well on that day. Thank you to Edward Pickering who created a magic in the room. Especially thank you to chef and waiting staff. Food was so amazing as I could see all plates were empty. Eduardo was in charge of our service which went so perfectly. I may continue to carry on and on about this amazing place but unfortunately I won't get enough space here 😀 #bestday
Wonderful Wedding Venue
With only 9 weeks until our wedding, we learnt that our venue was closing. Slight panic set in. A few phone calls later we had an appointment, for the next day, to meet Edward, as they had our weekend free and could accommodate our special day from start to finish. Following that meeting, we signed the paperwork, paid the deposit and breathed a huge sigh of relief, in the realisation that we had been very lucky.
Several meetings to sort out all the little details and arrange room bookings for the weekend followed. We were left feeling, that actually, our day, in some repects, could tun out to be even better than at the previous venue.
Next came a menu tasting. Due to time scales, we had chosen our menu and issued it to our guests for selection. Wow, we were not disappointed. There was nothing to fault, which for us is no mean feat. It was a wonderful evening. The staff were very attentive and polite, not just to us, but the whole ethos in the restaurant was as it should be. We left feeling full and secure in the knowledge that it was all going to be great.
To cut, what could be a very long story short, the day was a massive success. The ceremony was commented on by several guests. The day flowed as planned, the food was wonderful. Our planner Edward, who was overseeing his first solo wedding, was in the wings the whole time, making sure all went accordning to plan. Anything that was needed was arranged. We didn't have to worry about a thing and we had an absolutley amazing weekend.
We would like to thank Edward, Zack, Inacio and the their teams for everything.
I honestly cannot recommend the Cumberland and the staff enough!
Our wedding was in June 2023 and from our first visit we were made to feel amazing! No request was too big and Chloe went above and beyond to make sure our day went as perfectly as possibleShe was in contact regularly to go over lighting, music, and any other special requests. The day before we were able to take all our decorations to the venue and all were carefully stored for us. The next day I literally didn’t have to worry about a thing the staff arranged the room to our specifications perfectly and everything went so smoothly there was absolutely no stress for any of us which was amazing! Room changes were flawless there was no hassle or idle waiting around, the Dj the hotel provided as well was brilliant 🤩All the staff are super friendly and helpful, the food and drink selection were perfect and all our guests commented on how nice the buffet selection was on the day it suited everyone from children to adults alike .Our price covered everything including night before the wedding room for the bride, night of the wedding for bride and groom with breakfast, reception (minus the registra fee) drinks reception (1 glass of Prosecco for each guest) buffet for all guests (10 children - 100 adults) and a glass of Prosecco for each adult guest and the evening reception with Dj and pulled pork bapsI highly recommend if you’re looking for the perfect hotel wedding venue you will not be disappointed here the price point was the best we looked at and absolutely amazing value for the 5* service we were provided with.
