One that we'll never forget

Thank you all so much for everything you all did for us and our guests. Everyone was so complimentary about all of the staff and the food. We had an incredible day, one that we'll never forget. Thank you all again.

Mr & Mrs Fenton

What you do is incredible

Thank you for the most amazing wedding. We cannot recommend you and thank you enough. What you do is incredible and make our big day everything and more. We look forward to seeing you for a stay in the future.

Mr & Mrs Woods

You are all truly the best!

Thank you for hosting our wedding at the most incredible venue and being amazing with it! You are all truly the best!

Mr & Mrs Diplock

Impeccable service

"We would like to express our utmost gratitude to you and your team for the exceptional service during our recent wedding celebration. The entire event surpassed our expectations, and we are truly grateful for the memorable experience you helped create.
Your attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to making our special day truly magical did not go unnoticed. We have received countless compliments about the venue and the impeccable service provided by your staff."

Mr & Mrs Lambert

The venue was exceptional

I would just like to say a massive thank you to all of you who played a part of the team looking after me on my wedding on Saturday. Even though it was raining I had a magical day. No stress as the team looked after me very well and information was provided at regular intervals during the day. Everyone enjoyed the food and thought the venue was exceptional. The orangery made up for the disappointment of not having an outside wedding. Thank you again and I would highly recommend you to anyone.

Mr Mrs Ilsley

The whole team were incredible

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you for Saturday. The whole team were incredible, we were really blown away. All of our guests commented on how good the staff and the service was. One of the reasons we booked the old hall was because the staff had seemed really on it and like the whole process would be a breeze for us, and it absolutely was, even more than we expected.
I couldn’t believe it when we turned up in the morning and everything was already all set up for me. The team took great care of both of us and made sure we were on time (I know we were like herding sheep!). They even got my niece dressed and ready while my sister was in make up.
We’d like to give a special shout out to the event manager we had for the afternoon/evening, we think it was Stacey. She REALLY went above and beyond and we’re so grateful.
Thank you for making sure we had the perfect day. Everyone couldn’t stop complimenting the venue and everything was so stress free than we could just enjoy ourselves."

Beautiful venue in a beautiful setting

We were so pleased we chose The Old Hall as our wedding venue. From the moment we expressed an interest they were informative but never pushy about booking them. Not only were they completely supportive throughout our three covid postponements, they made sure that the whole day went perfectly from start to finish. The venue itself is beautiful, and we were so lucky to be able to be married outside. The location is also beautiful with views over the fens to the wonderful Ely Cathedral. I cannot recommend this venue more.
