We got married here on 6/5/17 it's a amazing place , and our day was beautiful, all the staff were fantastic nothing was a problem.

I had my wedding here on august 6th 2016 and from the day we booked to the day we checked out as Mr and Mrs we were very looked after by the hotel staff and Jade the wedding co-ordinator. They were very helpful and hands on all the way. The hotel is a beautiful venue and we got married outside in …

the garden, we had a singer for our ceremony and reption drinks in the garden and the day was just perfect. The wedding breakfast and evening buffet was fantastic and the hotel were brilliant as we had guests with food allergies. The venue was dressed by their venue stylist Lisa charles who also did a amazing job. I would highly recommend this hotel for any wedding small or large.
Thank you so much Mr and Mrs Binks

I had my wedding at Bannatyne Hotel in August last year and my husband and I could not have had a better day! We had been to a wedding before at Bannatynes and couldnt believe how brilliant everything was so we didn't even bother looking anywhere else!! We only decided on the date a few months …

before and can't believe how amazing it was with such a small amount of time to organise. Jade was absolutely amazing. Organising and planning aren't my best qualities but Jade helped me through the entire process and basically planned us the perfect day. It was very relaxed and the atmosphere was perfect. The beautiful surroundings of the hotel made my wedding pictures look even more beautiful and with the hotel only allowing one wedding a day made us feel even more special because everyone was focused just on us and our guests. The staff were honestly fantastic, they worked so hard and the day would not have went so well if it wasn't for them making sure everything was perfect. The food was also incredible! Our guests loved it with people going back for more! I would definitely recommend Bannatyne Hotel to anyone! And would like to say thank you to Jade and the team for helping us make the best day of our lives even better!!

I got married at Bannatynes Hotel in Darlington in April 2016, and I can't speak highly enough of the venue, the staff and the all round experience my wife and I had on the day.
The hotel grounds were perfect for reception drinks, and the bar and restaurant area was inviting and the interior was …

in very good condition. The staff were also great, and they really made sure all of our requirements were met and they looked after us and our guests exceptionally well. The food was fantastic from start to finish. The arrivals canapes, the wedding breakfast itself and the evening buffet was exactly what we wanted and the quality of the food was second to none. We decided to stay the evening at the hotel, as did lots of out wedding guests, and we were very pleased with the quality of the bridal suite and the facilities the hotel had to offer. The breakfast we had the following morning was the perfect way to round off a superb day. I've since recommended the hotel to a number of my close friends due to the wonderful experience we had.

This stunning venue played host to my wedding and it was absolutely unbelievable. I don't know where to even start to try to explain just how amazing the hotel and the staff were for my wedding. They provided myself and my Husband with the most picture perfect wedding, that was beyond our dreams. …

The grounds are stunning for photographs both inside and out. The food was faultless and all of our guests commented on the quality. I just cannot fault it at all and it is a day we will treasure, for the rest of our lives. Thanks to each and every member of staff who played a part in our day.

Thank you Bannatynes for making our wedding on 28th December 2016 the best day ever. You truly have the most amazing team of staff, which has made choosing food, layout of the room and all the other little details so easy. I wish we could do it all again and we wouldn't change a thing. ❤️

We had our wedding day here on the 5th December 2016

From the moment we booked the venue, right up until we checked out as MR and MR nothing was too much trouble

Every tiny detail was marked out at our request , and we felt totally at ease and relaxed and knew we would have an amazing day …

,

From changing centre pieces to bunches of flowers for mums , to having our dietary requirements respected , right down to not seeing each other before ceremony , it was effortless and well executed ,

Working in the hospitality industry myself I was sure I would pick up on things but there was nothing to fault
The food was better than our menu tasting and every guest commented on this ,
The rooms were comfortable and it made the day even more fantastic
A huge thank you to Jade and Alex and the rest of the team at Bannatynes hotel who made this happen
You were as much a part of our special day as our guest were , it will be remembered for years to come

Thanks again for a magical day

“We recently got married at this venue and have to say how amazing all of the team are. We were made
to feel like we the only couple getting married there this year and absolutely nothing was too much
trouble. All of the staff worked so hard to make sure our day was perfect for us. The rooms are …

lovely and
the food has always been fantastic every time we have been and they certainly pulled it out of the bag on
our wedding day. The roast beef was to die for. We had so many lovely comments from our guests about
the wedding breakfast food and also the evening buffet too and how lovely and helpful all the staff are.
We cannot recommend this Hotel highly enough. You are a credit to yourselves and to Lucy the lovely
manager. We can't wait to see you all again soon.”

“Excellent service from the first enquiry right through to us checking out. What more can I say, nothing
was a problem to the staff from the smallest detail right through to ensuring that they took the strain on
the day (not that there was any as they were there checking all went smoothly). The …

food was excellent,
all our guests have commented on the fabulous food and fantastic portion size. Every member of staff
deserves recognition for how special they made us feel. Choice at breakfast was fantastic - something
for everyone and if it wasn't out for you they did their best to get it for you. Duncan Bannatyne you should
be very proud of your staff - they are a fantastic bunch of people who helped to make our wedding very
special. Thank you all very much.”
