- EEleanor & Chris20/11/2025A wonderful venue with brilliant wedding coordinatorsA wonderful venue with brilliant wedding coordinatorsWe had a fantastic experience at our recent wedding at the Maynard. Zoe and Jess coordinated everything for us and were super helpful from the beginning. We had our celebrations at the hotel over two days and the end product felt very personal and just how we wanted it. We had a small formal wedding day and a casual party on the following day; the venue was ideal for both and the Chatsworth Suite is really beautiful. The outside space is great and the setting of the hotel is stunning. Would definitely recommend autumn weddings in the Peak District; the scenery is phenomenal. The food on both days was delicious and a big hit with our guests. I had really hoped for pie at the party and whilst it wasn't on their list of options, we ended up with three amazing pie options with chips, mushy peas and gravy. The pies were 10/10! No stone was left unturned with Zoe and Jess' attention to detail for both days and it really paid off. The hotel rooms are also beautiful and turning it into a 'wedding weekend' helped to make it feel like it didn't go in a flash. Would thoroughly recommend as a venue.

- RReece and Elaine18/10/2025Fantastic venue and team! Fantastic venue and team!We had our wedding at The Maynard on 10.10.2025 and it was everything we had dreamed of! From the first viewing meeting to our day, everything in between, and even after, the team at The Maynard have gone above and beyond to make sure our plans were executed and we were happy. No question, request, or idea was too big for the team. Everyone from hospitality, the kitchen, housekeeping, and the events team made us and all of our guests feel so welcomed. We want to give a special shout out to Zoe who served as our coordinator for most of our planning process and certainly on the day of. Her calm, comforting, and "we'll get it done" attitude made everything so easy.

- RRuby & Sam03/10/2025The Perfect DayThe Perfect DayFrom the very first meeting we knew this was the venue for our wedding. We had viewed many in the surrounding areas and nothing compared to the beauty of The Maynard, the hospitality of the staff, and the personalisation offered. As long as we didn't break any H&S regulations, The Maynard were there and ready to make our vision come to life! The Chatsworth suite alone is the perfect room for a wedding breakfast as well as a party in the evening. No detail was too small for the team, and everything mentioned was brought to life. The table layout was a big thing for us, as we wanted that Italian style family dinner on one long table, and The Maynard not only made this happen but did it exactly how we had imagined. We got to know a lot of the events team throughout the planning journey, which was made seamless through the meetings we had throughout with The Maynard, where they made sure to check every detail with us. Jess was our wedding coordinator on the day, and she did a fantastic job, she made sure our vision came to life and noticed small things like if we were enjoying ourselves in the garden after food to check if we wanted to still do the cake cutting when we had originally planned or if we wanted to delay it. Upon arrival from the ceremony, Jess had welcome drinks ready for us, did all of our announcements, and even came round with a selection of the canapes to make sure we got one of each! The day ran smoothly and when we got to the Bridal Suite in the evening we saw that all of our cards, gifts, and two perfect slices of wedding cake had been left out for us in the room. I cannot recommend them enough for your day too! My only comment would be during the wedding breakfast the kitchen shuts to everyone else, which meant our wedding photographer had to wait a long time to have some food, so I would include them in your main course numbers rather than have them order from the bar.From the very first meeting we knew this was the venue for our wedding.

- SSteph & Callum15/09/2025Our dream wedding!Our dream wedding!Had our wedding here in July 2025, after booking nearly 2 years before, the whole events team were always quick to respond to emails throughout the whole planning process. Zoe was our coordinator and she was amazing, she made the meetings feel very relaxed and was so good on the day making sure everything ran smoothly! We were able to take all of our stuff the day before (and set up) which was super helpful as we had a Church ceremony and weren’t staying the night before. All of our guests said how impressed they were with the food, the bar service and how incredible the views from the garden were! We couldn’t have picked a better venue for our special day, I would highly recommend!

- LLydia & Tom21/08/2025The best day of our lives!The best day of our lives!From our initial viewing of The Maynard we were blown away, it was the 4th venue that we viewed and knew straight away it felt special. The Maynard staff are incredible and went above and beyond from our first initial wedding consultation, right up until the end of our wedding night, we appreciated the wedding cake sent to our room! We'd like to also mention a special thank you to Zoe and Katie for being great at helping organise our wedding, nothing was ever too much. We appreciate all of the hard effort that went in to creating our special day and helping with the quick turn around with the room. We both feel that The Maynard is the perfect wedding venue that incorporates a personal and relaxed approach, we loved our little postcard provided from the staff and also the fact there is only around 20 rooms, which made the post wedding day breakfast feel more homely. All of the food is amazing, all of our guests couldn't stop going on about the fab buffet at the end of the night! It's also great that there is a private garden that displays beautiful views of the Peak District. We were blessed with beautiful weather and got to go up to Curbar Edge for our photos.

- LLouise & Joe31/07/2025Wonderful weddingWonderful weddingWe got married at The Maynard in June and we couldn't be happier with how everything went. In the months leading up to the wedding communication with Zoe and Katie was great. They were always happy to chat over the phone or via email. On the day Zoe was brilliant. There were a couple of small last minute details I only brought to her on the morning of the wedding and she knew exactly what to do. We had 9 children in our wedding party, the youngest being 4 years old, and I was particularly impressed with how good Zoe and the rest of the team were with the kids. They were so kind and reassuring to them all before they walked down the aisle. The room looked amazing, the food was great (and the team made sure my dream dessert table looked amazing!), the outside area was brilliant particularly for the kids to run around in, and the rooms were beautiful! Thank you to all of you at The Maynard who gave us such an amazing wedding day! We got married at The Maynard in June and we couldn't be happier with how everything went.

- LLaura and Simon28/05/2025Best day of our lives Best day of our livesCan't express how great our wedding was at The Maynard. The process felt so simple and straightforward with the help from Katie and her team from booking to the day itself. Everything possible was considered in the lead up, and we were able to adapt things to exactly how we wanted them to be on the day. On the day itself, Katie was fantastic making sure we had everything we needed, knew where we were going and just totally removed all the stress. The venue was stunning, easy to get out for photos and just generally do exactly what we wanted. We booked a band through their wedding fayre and got so many compliments on them too. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking, best day of our lives! Can't wait to continue to return to The Maynard in the future to continue making memories there. Thanks so much to you!
