Perfection

Our wedding at Slaters was everything we had hoped for. We had a twilight wedding, it was so relaxed and enjoyable without missing out on the special parts (speech/cake/dance). The team made everything easy. The staff on the day were fabulous. Julie the wedding co-ordinator was so responsive to all my worries and all my requests even last minute ones!! The food was so good all of our guests enjoyed it. Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day. Thank you all so much!!!

Amazing Day ❤️

We got married here July 24th. The whole process from booking & until the day was a smooth process. Special mention goes to Julie Lewis who was informative, helpful & professional all in friendly manner. We would 100% recommend Slaters for the friendly, intimate & exclusive venue. On the day they let us choose right up & until the very last minute (due to the weather) to have our dream garden outside wedding. The food was amazing & the staff throughout the day worked extremely hard & nothing was as issue. Just wish we could relive it all over again.

The most perfect wedding ❤️

We got married here on the 28th may 2023. All we can say is wow what an absolutely fantastic day. The day went perfect from start to finish and was just magical.

Everything ran so smoothly, the venue was stunning and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Getting married outside on the gazebo was amazing.

Julie was our wedding co ordinator and she was just amazing nothing was a problem for her and she ensured everything went perfectly and was always there to answer any questions, her organisational skills are just beyond amazing. All the staff worked so hard to ensure we had an amazing day.
Me and my bridal party for ready in the bridal prep suite which is stunning.

The food was amazing and everyone said how amazing the wedding breakfast and the pizza buffet at night was. The rooms were beautiful to stay in overnight and the breakfast was fab the next morning. We had so many compliments on the venue and how well run it was. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and can’t thank Julie and the staff enough for everything they did to give us the best wedding we could have ever asked for.

The most amazing day of our life’s!

We had our wedding day here on the 18.02.23. It was the most magical, incredible wedding day. Everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. You all ensured it ran smoothly and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better day. The entire venue looked absolutely stunning and everyone including myself and my wife were speechless.

Our wedding Co ordinator was Julie, her and the staff were again, amazing! They all worked incredibly hard to make sure our day was perfect. Nothing was to much to ask and Julie was always on hand for any questions I had.

The food was absolutely Devine! The wedding breakfast and the buffet is still the talk of the wedding 10 days on. There’s not enough words to describe how much we loved our wedding day. We couldn’t have picked a better venue. We would do it all again in a heartbeat!

We will be back as often as we can for meals and to stay over as a treat. Slaters will forever be one of our favourite and most treasured places.

Thank you so much slaters for the best day of our life’s🤍

We choose slaters for our whole wedding day. When the day came there was no request too big or small all of the team were always on hand and willing to help. The day was so smooth with everything running as planned with the help of Julie who is an absolute amazing lady and a credit to the company. Would definitely return and do it all again if ever needed.

The most amazing wedding day!!

We had the most amazing wedding day at Slater's Country Inn!! From day 1 of picking our date right up to the wedding everything went smoothly which is down to the amazing team working at Slater's. No question was too big or small and our wedding coordinator Julie was so helpful up to and including the wedding day. On the day Libby was amazing and made sure things were well organised and ran smoothly. The chef Gui and his team made us the most incredible wedding breakfast. All the guests have said his amazing everything was. All in all I would absolutely recommend!!

An Amazing Day

After a torrid 18 months arranging and rearranging our day because of Covid we finally got there in December 2021. The hotel was amazing from start to finish. The venue was perfect for 50 guests in the day and 80 in the evening. The staff couldn't have been more helpful with everything we asked, accomadating last minute menu changes because of a medical issue and ensuring our elderly family members were allocated appropriate rooms etc. The food was fantastic, all the guests commented on it and the portions were huge. We had the Pizza option in the evening and they were divine. House DJ was great and kept the dance floor all night. Thank you Slaters for making it such a perfect day.
