From the start of our relationship with Coniston we were thoroughly impressed.
We initially met Emily at the venue for a walk around and to discuss the process, she was very helpful, very organised, and shared in our excitement. Throughout the process, we dealt with several members of the (old and …

new) wedding team and everyone was brilliant.
Emma, Mel, Jen, Katie, Issabelle and many others did such an incredible job for our wedding and we are so grateful.

The team did a great job of setting up the rooms for us with the decorations we had arranged and were able to make the last-minute changes we had to request on the morning of. They took the stress out of everything.

The ceremony room, orangery and wedding breakfast room are all lovely (even before the decorations).

Coniston is a beautiful venue with stunning views from all areas of the estate. We really couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque venue and a better wedding team to host the best day of our lives.

My wife and I, along with all our guests had a wonderful day and night followed by a lovely morning at Coniston Hotel.

Also worth noting that the DJ Coniston use was great. Mitch was pleasant to deal with and really easy to get on with and did a great job in the evening.

We would strongly recommend Coniston to anyone wanting to get married, host a celebration or even just go for a stay.

We’re looking forward to our next visit and our first anniversary where we will be coming back for sure.

Thanks again!

We visited The Coniston Hotel Wedding Fair in September 2023. This was the first venue we went to look at and we instantly fell in love with it. The surrounding scenery, lake and the hotel itself, really sold it to us, so much so, that we booked a provisional date for September 2024.
The Coniston …

wedding coordinators, Rachel, Katie and Rebecca, were so helpful and answered all our queries over the 12 months. They kept in touch throughout the process and nothing was too much trouble.
On our wedding day, the sun shone and everything went to plan. Our guests really enjoyed the day and can’t stop talking about it. If we could have the opportunity, we would do it all again! We would recommend this venue to any couples planning their wedding because you will not be disappointed. Thank you again for making the best day of our lives so special xx

Myself and Tyler would like to start by saying a HUGE thank you to you all! You were all absolutely amazing, from the first day we came to look around right until check out.

The Coniston was everything we could have dreamed of for our special day. The location, the staff, the views, the decor - …

it was all perfect!

I would like to say a special thank you for all the effort that was put into our pre-wedding meal, nothing was too much trouble and the little details of the menus were so lovely and thoughtful. Everybody had a great time and the room was perfect for all the little ones to play together.

The wedding day could not have gone any better, not a thing went wrong. Everything was absolutely perfect from the moment we both woke up. The day was certainly one to remember. We have had so many compliments on the venue, the food and the staff, some have even said it was the best wedding they have ever been to!!

Mitch - what a guy! He was absolutely fabulous. What a credit to The Coniston he is!

Thanks again, we could not have had such a perfect day without you guys and we are gutted it's all over! We will definitely be back soon to use the spa and have a night away.
