The rooms are fantastic!

The Old Hall Ely hosted our wedding. It is an absolutely stunning venue; so nice that we changed our planned wedding dates just so we could book it. The rooms are fantastic with plenty of space and luxurious facilities. The views are amazing of the countryside, especially with Ely Cathedral just on the crest of the adjacent hill (an excellent backdrop as the sun sets). The best part of The Old Hall Ely is the staff.

Faultless

We cannot thank The Old Hall enough for everything. From our very first viewing of the venue to all our meetings leading up to our special day. We currently do not live in the UK and every single member of the team we dealt with made the whole process extremely easy and relaxing! From the morning of with our arrival at the venue to every single minute throughout every member of the team were faultless.

What a stunning venue!!

What a stunning venue!! The moment we drove through the gates for our viewing, we both fell in love and couldn’t think of having our wedding anywhere else. It had everything we were looking for. Our guests commented on how incredibly organised the staff were, from the setting up of the marquee, to the serving of the food. The rooms were so clean and very well looked after. The day was so relaxed and went so so quickly. We can’t thank the team at The Old Hall enough from start to finish.

Our wedding was like something from a fairytale

1st September 2023 was truly the best day of our lives, and what a stunning wedding venue The Old Hall is. Our wedding was like something from a fairytale, everything we could have dreamed of. The staff were sensational from the get go, so organised and could not do enough for you. The service on the day was amazing and so many guests complimented the venue and staff. Although it rained and we planned to get married outside, the quick switch around to the orangery was seamless and it was still j

We had literally the PERFECT day and we’ll cherish

Chris and I just wanted to reach out (now that I feel somewhat human again!) to say the biggest and deepest thank you for last week. We had literally the PERFECT day and we’ll cherish it forever. We’re already talking about different dates we can come back for dinner throughout the year and we’ll definitely be returning around our anniversary next year for lunch/dinner. All our guests were blown away by how well organised everything was and how everything ran so smoothly. And thank you so m
