Everyone should get married here!

My husband and I got married at Above on 10th August and words can not describe how amazing all the staff were from day 1. Everyone has been super helpful with any questions or requests we had, nothing was ever a bother and they were incredibly accommodating. Lukas was our wedding coordinator and we just loved him, we were a bit clueless about how weddings worked so he helped us with the structure of it all and made the day run so smooth! We had quite a few 3rd party entertainers, the staff worked so well with them and us to organise everything and coordinate set ups. I feel like we got to relax and float through the wedding day itself thanks to everyone at Above. Even the bar staff were in incredible and got involved in the fun. Everyone was such an integral part and made us so at ease. The food was amazing and varied enough that everyone could enjoy, also there was plenty for everyone. Everything was on time and ran so smoothly. And lastly, of course, the interior style and views from the balcony were gorgeous and made for a beautiful background to our photos that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. We cannot thank you enough!

Phenomenal!!!

Our wedding at the Vermont was truly outstanding! Lukas and the wedding team went above and beyond for myself and Michael from booking the ceremony to leaving your beautiful hotel. We can’t fault your service, friendliness and professionalism, we only wish we could do it all again. 5 stars isn’t enough, if you are thinking of booking a truly unique venue, then look no further. ❤️❤️

Amazing Wedding Day

As soon as we viewed The Vermont we knew this was where we would get married. The whole venue is outstanding! We captured some amazing photos -my favorites included stunning views of the city. The whole team were professional, supportive and attentive. Leanne helped us with last minute planning and took care of any issues with ease, so we had nothing to worry about. Everything came together exactly as planned, I was especially blown away with the decoration of the ballroom! We had a perfect day and are so glad we chose this venue. We would definitely recommend :)

Above wedding

Me and my wife done a twilight wedding at above in November 2024 and it was fantastic from start to finish. We really appreciated all the hard work and effort that went in to our day by the wedding team at the Vermont but especially Lukas who was really professional with his quick responses to our questions and give us some great ideas for our special day. Tanya and Anna were also brilliant and we could not recommend them enough. The venue itself was unbelievable with the view of the city and fantastic for some great photos. Everything on the day ran so smoothly and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Wedding of our Dreams

Review for the Vermont Hotel

We had our wedding at the Vermont Hotel, and it truly was the best day of our lives. From start to finish, the service was exceptional, and the attention to detail made our day absolutely perfect. The team went above and beyond to make us feel special, and we felt so well looked after throughout the entire process.

Special thanks to Tanya, Lukas, Anya, Marcus and all the staff involved for their incredible support. Their professionalism, kindness, and genuine care made such a difference. From organising thoughtful upgrades to ensuring every aspect of the day ran smoothly, they made us feel like absolute VIPs.

The venue itself was stunning, and the atmosphere was magical. Every little detail was taken care of, leaving us free to enjoy our day stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’ll cherish the memories forever.

Thank you to everyone at the Vermont Hotel for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We highly recommend this venue to anyone planning their special day!

October wedding

We had our wedding at the vermont on 12 October 2024, in the ballroom.
Everyone involved has been so helpful from start to finish. We have been given suggestions and ideas, and everything has been met with a can do attitude.
We had a vegetarian wedding breakfast and were invited for a taster session around 6 weeks before our wedding before making our final decision. The food was gorgeous and everyone enjoyed it.
The ballroom is beautiful, and was a stunning setting for our wedding.
We stayed in the riverview suite which was spacious and a lovely room, with plenty of room for our hairdresser to do mine and the bridal party that morning.
Tanya the wedding coordinator was brilliant, and so supportive, she is a fantastic asset to the vermont. She even came to find me the evening before the wedding as I was staying the night before, to let us know everything was in hand.

Amazing level of service

We Just wanted to drop you a little message thanking you and the Vermont for our Anniversary dinner.
Once again we left the Vermont hotel talking about the amazing level of service that we experienced, from every member of staff that we encountered, during our visit to the restaurant last night.
Since our very first visit to discuss our wedding, every visit in between the big day and every time since we haven’t once been given any reason groan or grumble about anything.
I don’t know if it’s the training or the recruitment team that sets the levels you all have but we see many venues throughout the year and none of them come close to the Vermont in terms of customer experience with the staff.
Dinner last night was delicious and we will indeed be back for the next anniversary as well as on other occasions through the year.

I felt in such good hands the whole way through

Organising a UK wedding from 10,000 miles away in Sydney was, at times, a little overwhelming but the team went out of there way to make the whole process as stress free as possible. Nothing at all was too much trouble and the attention to detail was extremely impressive and reassuring. I felt in such good hands the whole way through and our wedding day at The Vermont was even better than we both ever imagined it would be.

Absolutely amazing and simply perfect.

It was an absolute pleasure to be looked after by the Vermont team and they surprised me with a free Rolls Royce chauffeur service on my wedding day! They are certainly the best team and deserve the best award. No only they did what they promised, but also went for an extra mile to look after everyone. Absolutely amazing and simply perfect.

I would love to relive our big day

As a proud Geordie, The Vermont's City Centre location was my dream venue - the backdrop of the keep & the bridges and the accessibility of it public transport for guests made it top of our list. The venue is luxe in all aspects, from the red carpet entrance, the stately Moot Hall, the etched glass windows and chandelier in the Ballroom... The decor is understated opulent and I didn’t need to go overboard on decorations or flowers to ‘make’ the venue beautiful. The food was fabulous, our tasting evening was such a memorable occasion- I follow a wheat free diet and the chefs were not remotely fazed by this. They also tailored our choices which resulted in an exquisite culinary feast on our wedding day - our guests were full of compliments about everything from the canapés through to the evening buffet which was plentiful & replenished swiftly. The DJ was fantastic. The serving staff at our wedding breakfast, the bar, the buffet and even the front of house staff at reception were just so friendly and welcoming and all added to the joy of our day. We hadn’t paid the extra to book the roof terrace but nevertheless The Vermont allowed my husband and I up there for what turned out to be some of our favourite wedding photographs. I loved that The Vermont have a one wedding a day policy, I don’t believe you should have to share as it really is your special day and knowing you aren’t going to bump into another bride and groom was important to us. I would love to relive our big day as it really was everything we hoped it would be and more and that was down in no small part to The Vermont.
