We had nothing but a good experience at the Old Hall from start to finish. Having viewed other venues and felt like we were on a wedding 'conveyor belt', the personal, helpful and bespoke service we received from Vicky and the team was a breath of fresh air.
Vicky was patient from day one, answering every minor query and guiding us with decision making (service time, food choices etc.). She was also extremely helpful with recommending suppliers, all of whom we researched and used.
Our wedding day was even better than we could have dreamed; the venue and staff were outstanding and our guests are still talking about what a fantastic day it was months down the line - we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Old Hall.

The venue is set in a fresh, and naturally beautiful English town of Buxton (renowned for its fresh spring waters) with the peaks close by and easy access to the attractive sufficiently big pavilion gardens which has a bandstand too- great for photos. The venue has great history, has a simple but smart layout great for intimate sized wedding party's but equally for larger parties too without feeling cramped.
The experienced wedding planner will ensure nothing gets missed out in the decision making process and all is executed as agreed reliably so! The organising service was not limited to what is initially offered to ensure the wedding flowed but even the preps out of the venue such as arranging your dress and helping to check over the wedding invites. The customer service from other staff is friendly warm when needing to interact otherwise professionally quiet and efficient in the background to allow spotlight on your wedding.
The food offers the best for English choices. Therefore your guests will be sufficiently impressed.
Holds both civil ceremonies and wedding breakfast receptions. Offers hotel rooms for bridal prep for the morning of the wedding.
When we first met our wedding planner, we had little clue what we were expecting. Victoria has the great pace in taking control and being decisive however, always easy to talk to, permitting and encouraging of all our thoughts and suggestions. I truly felt I was given the opportunity to raise all my concerns. That some of my thoughts were only rejected out of practicality itself, and even then we were given alternatives. Her experience really shine through. Never did she rush us, she gave us good time and many opportunities to raise things.
She even made her self available out of meeting times by emails or scheduled phone calls. I definitely tested her patience with my emails. But Victoria pretty much always had the answer and replied promptly realistically and reassuringly - some great qualities of a wedding planner especially for a couple who were so unfamiliar to how wedding planning works, had very little time to dedicate to it and would often get behind with our own plans.
We visited the venue for our wedding breakfast tasting session, everything was served in such a lovely manner. We got alone time at the table and it felt very much like a romantic meal. The staff were lovely. The food was explained to us well. We were shown wine options, then the canapés, the starters, main and then the desert. We were offered the coffee and chocolates but were too full from eating three three course meals between the two of us!
We were given enough time to eat and drink. The food choices really were grand.
A truly charming venue offering memorable packages at fair prices. The rooms were very clean
