Sarah and her staff were amazing at organising everything - nothing was too much trouble - we felt completely safe in their hands that everything would run smoothly. The Jacobean Hall is a stunning venue and the tables were decorated beautifully (and swiftly) after the ceremony. All our guests commented on the welcoming staff, the beautiful venue and, most of all, the delicious food. Many said it was the best wedding breakfast they had ever had. I cannot recommend it highly enough as a wedding venue and I look forward to returning again and again as a hotel guest.We held our wedding at The Spread Eagle in December.
