A&E Wedding

A and myself just wanted to say how amazing our wedding day was . Rita was fantastic taking over from Emma and her attention to detail was fantastic. Everyone complimented on how beautiful the hotel and grounds were. The food was gorgeous especially the quiches which Everyone also very much enjoyed. Charlie, Jupe and the rest of the staff were excellent especially with my daughter's who's touretts seemed to overwhelm her in the day. All the hard work and planning for the past 2 years and the training with Rayne all paid off and that's down to all the help and support of yourself and your team. Thank you so much.

Wedding Reception

We had our wedding reception here which was an amazing day. From planning through to the day itself, the Sales Manager, could not have done anything more to make the day special for us. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and professional, with the food being amazing and we have received so many comments regarding this. The character of the building is why we originally chose this venue, and the Blenheim Suite where we stayed overnight is very special.

Lovely hotel

So very pleased that we found your hotel. Everything went to making our break that much more of a treat. The room was perfect, beautifully decorated, clean and peaceful with a gorgeous view of green trees. Michael, on the front desk was an absolute star and couldn't have been more helpful. The food in the dining room and at breakfast was perfect. Thank you so much. We look forward to staying again should we return to the beautiful Cotswolds

dream wedding

The Holt Hotel were everything we were looking for when choosing a venue and Emma, the coordinator, was simply amazing. No question was stupid and nothing was too much to ask, she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the process and everything felt very easy and effortless. Every time we came to visit prior to the wedding all the staff remembered us by name and were warm and friendly and we were always amazed by how spotlessly clean the place was. The actual wedding day went by without a single issue (that we knew of!). Emma and her team were phenomenal and took care of everything. We could not have asked for anything more. Our guests all raved about how good the food was too! We would recommend this hotel to anyone in a heartbeat and we could not say thank you enough times for everything Emma and her team did to make our day as perfect as we could have wished for.

The Holt Hotel is ideally situated for touring. Good parking, It has a lovely garden to relax in. The restaurant is reasonably priced and food good. We have stayed there a couple of times and all staff are polite, friendly and professional. There are some young staff who are particularly delightful.

Great hotel in great location!

Very good hotel. Independently owned with character, caring staff and a beautiful garden. Location is brilliant for Bicester, Blenheim and Cotswolds. Food in restaurant is extremely high standard. Special mention for staff who genuinely care about guests and their experience. Renovated rooms beautifully furnished. Free parking right outside. Nothing not to like and we'll be returning.

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Holt Hotel?

What made this wedding truly special was the genuine love and happiness shared not only between the couple but also among their friends and family. It was a day filled with warmth, love, and unforgettable moments that reflected the couple's personalities and created lasting memories for everyone in attendance.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don’t forget what’s important! Wedding planning can be stressful but if you find it's getting too much, take a step back and remind yourself what your wedding is really about – marrying the love of your life!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

At one wedding I attended, the couple had a personalized cocktail hour where they served drinks named after significant moments in their relationship. For instance, there was a cocktail named after the place they first met and another named after their favorite vacation spot. Each drink had a story behind it, which they shared with their guests on little cards placed at the bar. It was a delightful and creative way for them to incorporate their personal history into the celebration, making the cocktail hour not just a refreshment break but a journey through their relationship milestones.
