A daunting task made easy
When deciding where to hold our Wedding Reception, we didn't need to look further than the team at The Crown Hotel. From the very first meeting, Laura filled us with the confidence that almost anything is possible. The best part of the experience was that Laura asked us what we wanted or expected and then advised the best options, leaving the final decisions with us. We felt in control.
Regular catchups by email, calls and face-to-face meetings meant that we were always updated as the date approached. We had many moving parts to consider and orchestrate; from a String Quartet in the Garden with welcome drinks and Canopés, then cutting the cake and speeches, followed by Secret Singing Waiters, a buffet, a Saxophonist, Bongo Dave, a photobooth, chocolate fountain and a great DJ. This is where Laura and Robert really came into their own. Robert did a fantastic job of announcing each part of the evening, from our arrival to speeches and everything else.
Managing their team of Lauren, Jess and Tabitha (all stars on the evening) meant that the evening flowed without interruption. With confidence in this team, we felt that we could simply enjoy the evening just like anyone else.
Do not hesitate to book your event at this venue.

Can’t recommend the crown high enough. Laura was brilliant in helping us set up our special day and everything we wanted they provided. Food was great, the room was beautiful and everyone had a great time.Can’t recommend the crown high enough.

The Crown Hotel
We cannot recommend The Crown enough. We booked the venue on a short timescale (2 and half months) and Laura guided us through everything we would need. We used some of their recommended suppliers for flowers, cake, photbooth and they were all great.
Our guests were blown away by the quality of food on the day and also the bedrooms were great.
The staff working on the day were all really helpful, happy and made the day flow. Top marks from us for the whole event- from planning to completion.We cannot recommend The Crown enough.

The best day at the best venue!!!
We recently had our wedding at the crown hotel.
The garden for the ceremony was absolutely stunning.
Lovely flow between the bar, main room and garden.
The main room was a really good size.
We had 11 tables and there was still plenty of space.
The buffet was out of this world, everyone is still talking about how good the food was! Honestly the best hot food buffet I’ve ever had in my life. They were able to cater for all allergies and preferences too which was another win.
The kids meals we opted for burgers and they again were delicious- I taste tested. I was expecting a standard kids meal- but they exceeded expectations, presented lovely with a real upper class twist on a standard burger.
Laura and events team were fabulous from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, the help on the day and with the lead up was truly amazing. They ensured the day ran smoothly, and were on hand all day.
Laura sorted a last minuet problem for me with less than 3 hours to the wedding, when i ran short on table runners. Sorted it for me so i didn’t have to stress about it on my wedding morning.
I also ran out of time finishing the room decorating and they packed away empty boxes and put any last bits into place.
Even the pack down was extremely helpful. They moved all our things to one place, boxed and stored the left over cake for us, removed all our decor which saved us a big job and lots of time the next morning.
I can’t recommend the crown enough. So glad we chose them for our wedding venue!
Also wanted to add that the bar staff again were brilliant and very friendly.
The main hotel staff again fantastic!
The breakfast was delicious, and the selection of continental was really good.
Rooms were stunning, spacious and good value for money.
10/10 review from us. Cant thank you all enough!!

Fabulous Venue and Wonderful Team
I don’t have a single negative thing to say about my wedding at The Crown Hotel. From the initial meeting to the big day, Laura was fantastic! I never had a worry with the organisation as most of the suppliers I chose were recommend by the Crown and liaised directly with the team.
On the day, it was completely stress free as Laura had everything under control. Perfect day in every way, and a stunning setting for a wedding. The Sealy Suite has its own walled garden which is large enough to have your group photos done in and lovely for an outdoor ceremony.I don’t have a single negative thing to say about my wedding at The Crown Hotel.

A wedding weekend
Our wedding party pretty much took the hotel over for 3 nights in July with the wedding itself on day 2.
100 adults and abut 20 children.
Laura and the team did a super job front of house and the food was excellent, particularly given that it was banquet catering. Really tasty and hot. Well cooked and presented.
Our various request were accommodated and the day/weekend went really well. I'm very glad we chose the Crown to have our wedding!Our wedding party pretty much took the hotel over for 3 nights in July with the wedding itself on day 2.

Magical day
Our wedding at this venue in one word… Wow!
From start to finish, the staff at The Crown Hotel were amazing. We chose the package that suited our budget and with the amount of people attending. The room was decorated with lights and the tables we decorated ourselves. We had lots of compliments regarding our wedding. Thank you to Laura, Robert and staff at The Crown for making our day rememberable.Our wedding at this venue in one word… Wow!
