Where do we start?! Hales Hall have been a brilliant wedding venue from start to finish of the process and Briony & Emily have been fantastic throughout. The venue is beautiful in itself, but for us we desperately wanted a venue where we could relax and know that the day would just run, which it definitely did. The food was brilliant, the staff worked so hard and everything ran seamlessly. Thank you so much for making our special day extra special. X

My daughters wedding two weeks ago - August 11th 2018 - at Hales Hall - was PERFECT from start to finish. The accommodation was first class, everything we could have possibly needed to cater for our meal on the Friday night. Very comfortable rooms furnished to a very high standard. Emily and Briony were present on the Saturday to help if required and were very good with Alex when her nervous tummy overcame her! On the Sunday it was so nice to have the house and garden to ourselves to completely relax in after the busy previous day. We had a lovely catered BBQ meal cooked for us at the house (organised by our son & partner as a wedding present) which was relaxing, tasty and fun. Indoor games finished off the day nicely. On the Monday, we tidied up and left feeling that we had spent more than three nights away! We could not recommend Hales Hall more highly for your very special occasion!
Thankyou Emily, Briony and all the behind the scenes team involved. Helen and Chris Shore.

We can't recommend this venue and their service enough!!!! We got married here on the 11th August 2018. The beautiful Hall slept twenty five of our loved ones for three nights and we all absolutely fell in love with this 14th century house, it is absolute heaven (take the online 3D tour, you'll fall in love). This house is kitted out with everything you need and is short of nothing. Our wedding day was just perfect and people have commented that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I honestly think this is down to not only the beautiful venue with stunning grounds but also the service that came with it. Emily and Briony ran and managed the day like pro's. Nothing was too much to ask, they are highly experienced wedding co-ordinaters and I am just so grateful to have had them there.

We had Hales Hall and Great Barn as our wedding reception venue on 1st September 2018, it was absolutely the perfect venue and was everything we had been looking for and more!

From the moment we walked through the entrance at our first viewing, we knew it would be the place we would be celebrating our wedding with everyone we loved!

Briony and Emily were an absolute joy to work with, and put us at ease from the beginning. Their knowledge and experience, as well as passion made our day all the more special as we could relax and enjoy everything without having to worry about a thing.

All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about the venue, the food and how perfect the day was!

Thank you so much for letting us have Hales Hall and Great Barn for our happy ever after. It was perfect!
