Wedding Reviews for The Olde Bell

team, they did a phenomenal job on the day and ensured all tables were catered and that the drinks and canapes flowed. Julian thought of every detail and my Dad let me know that Julian and his team even beautifully presented and laid out the cheese and crackers that we had personally provided. We were also grateful that Julian gave me and James a glass of champagne at midnight, as we had not been able to get one with everyone coming over to talk to us! It was small details like that, that meant so much.

Please pass our compliments onto the to the chef and his team. We received so many comments from our guests about how lovely the food was and everyone was impressed with just how much food there was! Several of our guests said it was by far the best food they have ever had at a wedding which meant so much to us and in itself is a huge compliment to your chef and his team.

A big thank you as well, to you Gabriela. We are very grateful for all your help and support with the organisation of our wedding. You were always there at the end of a phone or computer to answer all our questions.
We had the most amazing Wedding Day at the Olde Bell and for that it will always hold a special place in our hearts.

everyone involved, including the careful planning from Gabriela and everyone we've met along the way.

Our wedding guests gave us great feedback, with many telling us they loved the venue with its various rooms, historic features, friendly atmosphere and relaxing garden. They also commented on the high quality food served by The Olde Bell team for our wedding breakfast and the evening buffet. And the guests who stayed in the Malt House said they loved the spacious rooms. Our guests had a wonderful time - and so did we!

Thanks again to the whole team - we've met many of The Olde Bell staff since we first visited in May 2018 and we were impressed from the start by the team's professionalism, friendliness and above all your enthusiasm for The Olde Bell as a venue. We would definitely The Olde Bell and look forward to visiting again at some point in the future.

reception was impeccable with a variety of garden games laid on for guests to enjoy and the specific drinks had been laid out beforehand exactly as we had requested.
The options of salmon, lamb and Eton mess that we selected were sumptuous and brought rave reviews from our guests. The food was served in a timely manner and the tables were all in-sync as they enjoyed their delicious offerings. All of the guests were glowing in their praise of the food, service, entertainment and the outstanding accommodation the hotel provided. To top it all off, the buffet breakfast the next day was wonderful in both quality and quantity.
I cannot praise Gabriela enough for her calm support and organisation of the event and Rob for how he oversaw the wedding on the ground during the day. We both agreed that it was an incredibly special day. We knew it would be amazing but did not dare to dream it could have been so utterly perfect as it was; the Olde Bell afforded us such a beautiful venue, amazing food and service, and we could not thank them enough!

Barn:

From the very beginning to the very end our Wedding was everything we wanted it to be and more.

Andrew was on top of everything, even my early arrival, to which he covered very well.

The food was AMAZING!! All 3 courses. (complements to the Chef) we had the Lamb main, highly recommend.
The serving of our Wedding Breakfast was brilliantly done, even with a few guest moving seats and those with allergies being catered for in a very professional way, along with the children.
All staff were polite and helpful and i have not received any complaints from any guests.
Hog roast and evening buffet were also delicious.
Our room was beautiful (room 1) and very clean, all guests rooms were also beautiful, only problem was the showers go hot and cold, (but this is an old building, so can be forgiven)
Breakfast was also a massive hit with us and all that stayed.
What a beautiful venue and grounds!!

So to finish off we would highly recommend a Wedding here from our experience as you are very well taken care of.
Thank you to The Olde Bell for giving us a very memorable Wedding Day that will never be forgotten!!

Kindest regards,

Mr and Mrs B

advice and suggestions, quick to respond to my many emails, and offered to assist with our final ceremony song (needed someone to press the "play" button!). Chanel was on hand throughout the day until our first dance.

We received lots of lovely comments from family and friends on the building, which we chose, as we found it quirky and it was private (with 13 bedrooms) all under one roof. It was great for guests who wanted to get away from the music! Plenty of seating scattered in the vairous rooms too. The Wedding breakfast and evening buffet food was both excellent (roast beef etc). Loved the Music Room with the Grand white piano, which was made use of during our drinks ceremony.

The Malt House has beautiful gardens where we had our engagement photos taken.
The Olde Bell Inn daily breakfast buffett is fantastic and we plan to visit again, lots of choice.

backdrop for our wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast. The Malthouse offers timeless, stripped back elegance and with exclusive use of the multiple rooms it was the ideal party space. The quality of service throughout was amazing. Chanel, the venue's wedding coordinator, was an absolute pleasure to work with, managing the details with ease and allowing us to just get on with enjoying the planning and the big day. She was supported by an excellent team who ensured the day went smoothly. We were delighted with the quality of the food, both at the tasting session and on the day itself. Serving medium rare roast beef for 100 people is not easy and everyone said how delicious it was. Many of our guests stayed overnight at the hotel. The rooms are variable in quality, with some of the classic rooms on the small side and in need of some touch ups, but the luxury rooms are great - spacious with stripped back luxury decor. The only issue we had, ironically for December, was ridiculously hot rooms with radiators that didn't seem to turn off!
All in all we had an incredible day and the The Olde Bell played a key role in that. So many guests commented on the fantastic wedding venue and we couldn't agree more. We would highly recommend it.

suppliers we used that Chanel recommended were exactly what we wanted! All the bedrooms were great and everybody had a good night of sleep afterwards. Would definitely recommend to others
