- MMr and Mrs Lickard14/08/2019One More Day One More DayI literally don’t know where to start.... AMAZING!! From start to finish and all staff are a credit to Acklam Hall. Helen and Zoe made myself and my husbands day from a dream into reality. The girls were a dream team and made sure everything ran like clock work, even carrying my dress to the church to umbrellas just in case a down pour happened. Every single guest has commented on our food choices and said it tasted superb! The girls even made sure we both had food put aside for when the night was over so we could sit down have some food and relax and talk about the day. Nothing was too much for these girls, honestly without these two I’m sure our day wouldn’t of went just how it did! The bar staff, the waiting staff making sure our children were happy and had everything they wanted. I wish we could do it all over again just for one more day ❤️ I can’t wait until our next celebration to have it here!!I literally don’t know where to start.... AMAZING!!

- MMr and Mrs Porter05/08/2019Fantastic FantasticWe’ve just had our wedding party at Acklam Hall and we couldn’t recommend it enough. The room was absolutely stunning and staff couldn’t do anymore for you. It would be too difficult to name one member of staff as everyone was so lovely. They couldn’t have done enough for us - the service was excellent. The food was amazing and was complimented by all of our guests.We’ve just had our wedding party at Acklam Hall and we couldn’t recommend it enough.
