The most magical day of our lives

Wow. What a venue. The place is just perfect! We had the most amazing day and to be honest the best day of our lives. The venue itself is just perfect. Our wedding co ordinator Jenna was amazing from start to finish. The day ran so smoothly and even with timings having to be pushed back slightly due to one of our guests being late they did amazing to make sure the day still flowed. Thankyou to the croft. The only thing they forgot was the popcorn cart and the glowsticks but we didn't notice as we were wrapped up in our bubble and we are getting reimbursement so it's not too much trouble.

What a magical day filled with love ❤️

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and we couldn’t have asked for a more seamless experience. From the moment we began planning to the very last dance, every detail was taken care of with such care and professionalism. The entire staff was incredible—each person went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were not only professional but also warm, friendly, and genuinely excited to be a part of our big day. The service was impeccable, and we were made to feel like nothing was too much trouble. In the lead-up to the wedding, we were constantly supported. Anytime we had a question or needed guidance, the team was quick to respond and provide us with answers, ensuring we felt calm and confident leading into the day. On our wedding day, everything fell perfectly into place, and we were able to enjoy each moment without any stress. It was truly effortless, and that is all thanks to the amazing team that helped bring our vision to life. We are beyond grateful for their dedication and commitment. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

The most amazing day

Wow. What can I say!? The Croft for a wedding venue is just simply amazing!!! From every member of staff we encountered to the actual venue- perfect! The Croft was actually the only wedding venue I viewed. Once I had seen that ceremony room I was sold on it- absolutely breathtaking!!! I stayed in the garden villa the night before and it makes for such a nice room to get ready in with your bridal party. So many guests commented on how stunning the venue is and how tasty the food was. We chose featherblade beef (best beef I’ve ever eaten) and a chicken option as well as sticky toffee pudding or a trio of brownies for dessert. The day ran so smoothly thanks to my brilliant wedding manager who was so attentive (Jess H) and the lovely MOC Richard. Other staff who deserve a special mention are Rheanna and Nathan who were there to answer my questions and help with anything I needed. Ellie, Callum and Freddie on front of house were great too. My wedding coordinator Jenna B was incredibly helpful from start to finish, always there to answer any questions. I 100% recommend The Croft for a wedding and I only wish I could have my day all over again!

Simply the best day - Better than we could have imagined!

Our wedding at The Croft Hotel was SO incredible. The team went above and beyond to make it extra special for us. We got married midweek in November. We still can't believe how great the price was for our wedding at this venue. All of our family and friends were amazed by the venues decor. Everyone had an amazing day. The standard of the chapel and garden suite is truly breathtaking. It really does have the wow factor. Our wedding coordinator Hannah was fantastic throughout the whole process of planning. Megan and the team around Roxy on the morning of our wedding were so lovely and kind. They made Roxy feel reassured that we had enough time and not to rush before the ceremony. Ethan was our master of ceremonies and he was brilliant. The food was really beautiful. We can't thank the team enough for everything they've done. It was a magical day that we'll cherish forever.

Our Dream Day: Exceptional Service and Stunning Charm at The Croft Hotel

When we got engaged, we initially discussed having a registry office wedding. We were both conscious of costs and wanted to avoid extravagant venues that might feel overly posed or artificial. However, we quickly realized that the registry office couldn’t accommodate all the people we loved. This led us to explore the newly renovated Croft Hotel, just down the road, which is licensed for marriages. The beautiful ceremony room caught our eye in the online pictures, and the brochure prices seemed very reasonable. After booking a tour, we instantly fell in love with the space. The venue’s character and charm were undeniable, with a fairytale garden vibe that felt magical yet unpretentious. After seeing it in person, the question wasn’t if we’d get married there—it was when. From the very beginning, our wedding coordinator Paige was incredible. She was assigned to us just days after booking, which made the planning process seamless. Anytime we had a question, we could email or call her and get quick, helpful answers. On more than one occasion, what started as a “quick question” turned into a long chat with Paige patiently answering everything. She was always enthusiastic and made us feel like our day was her top priority. About five weeks before the wedding, we had a final meeting with her to confirm guest numbers, meal and drink choices, and all the finer details. The level of personalization was fantastic. We could tweak the schedule and choose from an impressive menu selection. We opted for an indoor BBQ, crepes, canapés, and bacon sandwiches, all of which were delicious. This meeting marked a turning point for us—our excitement soared as we began to visualize the day from start to finish. The night before the wedding, I stayed in the hotel’s beautiful bridal suite. My husband and I met with our wedding manager Megan that evening to review all the details of the day. Afterward, he headed home while I enjoyed a luxurious night with my bridesmaids. The Garden Suite was the perfect space for getting ready. At times, there were more than ten people coming and going—bridal party members, hair and makeup artists—but the room never felt cramped. There was ample space to hang dresses, get ready, and relax on the sofas. Megan checked in periodically to ensure we had everything we needed and to keep the atmosphere calm and stress-free. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. The venue was stunning, and our guests couldn’t stop praising its charm—from the cozy reception area to the elegant ceremony room and the versatile Garden Room, which hosted both the wedding breakfast and evening reception. Every detail seemed to flow seamlessly. Personalized playlists played at just the right moments, and master of ceremonies Ethan expertly guided everyone throughout the day. The staff thoughtfully arranged all our personalized decor and signage, and the food and drinks were exceptional. The staff’s attention to detail made all the difference. They anticipated our needs without us even asking. Whether it was replacing a lost drink, bringing me a glass of water with a straw before I walked down the aisle, or setting aside canapés for us while we were taking photos, they consistently went above and beyond. An especially meaningful touch was that the hotel is dog-friendly, so our beloved dog Ozzy could be part of the ceremony. Cameron from Wagging Tails Weddings helped make this possible, and we can’t recommend him enough. The Garden Room was a fantastic space for the evening reception. Our band’s lighting transformed the dance floor beautifully, and there was plenty of room for dancing and relaxing. Just beyond the sliding doors, the outdoor area, with fire pits and blankets, provided a cozy, quieter retreat for guests who wanted a break from the lively energy inside. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue or a more perfect day. We’re incredibly grateful to all the staff who helped make our wedding so special, and we wholeheartedly recommend the Croft Hotel to any couple searching for their dream venue.
