Wedding review

My new husband and I married here on the 9th November 2024 in the whitley suite.
From the start of planning to the day everything was never to much trouble for the wedding team at whitley hall hotel. We had the pleasure Marie assisting us in our face to face meetings aswell as others on the team via email.
The wedding day was absolutely phenomenal and ran so perfect and smoothly all day thanks to Amanda who was our wedding manager on the day. Again nothing was too much trouble and Amanda made the day extra special and made us feel very comfortable. Thankyou Amanda! The decor by forever yours looked amazing, the food was amazing and music. We hired a magician and caractur for the wedding and this was such a hit with the guests.

Whitley Hall is such a stunning venue to get married in and what makes the place even better is the friendly staff which was a big tick on my list when looking for a venue.

Thankyou to all involved for making our wedding the most perfect memorable day 💖

Best day ever

Had my wedding here 4th of August and Wow what a fantastic place to get married. The place it's self is stunning. The food was beautiful. We managed to get our outdoor ceremony which was touch and go at times staff really could not do enough for you. Our wedding coordinator on the day Kat was absolutely fantastic, she ensured our day went along as smoothly as possible and ensured everything was perfect. Just when she was about to tell me she was done for the evening she then attended to a medical emergency for one of our family members and for that we are very grateful.

Best Day Ever!

From booking way back in 2022 to our wedding day, the staff at Whitley Hall made the whole experience a joy! Communication was speedy and nothing was too much trouble.
Joe made sure our day ran smoothly and was absolutely amazing to work with, as well as the rest of the staff involved.
The Forever Yours team brought our vision to life and were so accommodating.
Would definitely recommend booking the night before the wedding in the Queen Mary Suite for the bridal party.
The venue its self is stunning, we couldn’t have picked a better venue!

Fantastic from start to finish

We booked our venue 15 months before the big day and communication with Whitley throughout has been absolutely fantastic. From first visiting the venue, we fell in love with the Whitley Suite, and its outdoor area, and knew it was the venue for us. The hotel itself provides a stunning backdrop for photos and really isn’t that far from the main road of Sheffield - though you’d never know it! Everything ran exactly as planned on the day - couldn’t fault a thing. Just wish we could do it all over again. Thank you to the entire wedding team 💚

Perfect day!

Absolutely perfect! The venue itself is stunning, all the grounds are beautiful and well kept! we had our ceremony outdoors and it was intimate and tranquil! Amanda was an amazing co-ordinator - nothing was too much and she was very welcoming and patient/kind. The package we had for our wedding was perfect and very good value, I wouldnt have minded paying more if we had to, as it was just such a perfect day from start to finish. staff were fantastic and the food was amazing. All our guests said they enjoyed themselves and found staff friendly and food great!
Thank you to everyone at Whitley Hall hotel, warmest regards, Mr & Mrs Hardy - September 2024

Our Perfect Wedding

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Whitley Hall in Sheffield, and we couldn't have chosen a more perfect venue. The historic charm and stunning grounds created a magical atmosphere that our guests are still talking about. The staff at Whitley Hall were nothing short of exceptional, providing impeccable service from start to finish. They were attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure that our day was perfect in every way.

A special mention must go to Hannah, who was an absolute star throughout the entire day. Her attention to detail and warm, caring nature made us feel completely at ease. She looked after us with such dedication, ensuring everything ran smoothly, and we felt truly supported. Hannah, you are amazing, and we can't thank you enough for your incredible support!

We also had the pleasure of working with Forever Yours, the wedding stylist and florist based at Whitley Hall. The team did an outstanding job bringing our vision to life. The styling was absolutely beautiful, with every detail carefully curated to match our theme. The flowers were fresh, vibrant, and arranged to perfection, adding a touch of elegance to our special day.
The team at Forever Yours was professional, creative, and incredibly easy to work with. They listened to our ideas and executed them flawlessly, creating a breath-taking setting that exceeded our expectations. We were blown away by the final result, and our guests were equally impressed.

Overall, we highly recommend both Whitley Hall and Forever Yours to anyone looking to create a memorable and beautifully orchestrated wedding day. The combination of a stunning venue, top-notch service, and exquisite styling made our wedding truly unforgettable.

Beautiful and fun wedding


We had a wonderful wedding with Whitley Hall. As soon as we stepped inside the venue the first time we visited, we fell in love. It is a truly stunning building and the wedding suites are perfect. We had the Parker Suite which has a beautiful outside area for our ceremony, complete with a jetty over the water for photos. Being able to use the central grounds for our photos and drinks after the ceremony was amazing!
My bridesmaids and myself stayed at the Queen Mary suite the night before which was lovely.
The staff on the day were amazing, they followed all of my setup instructions to a tee and it looked truly incredible. I couldn’t believe how beautifully all of my decor came together in the wedding breakfast, and the day went so smoothly. The staff put out our garden games so they were ready to play straight away and had umbrellas ready for the rain later on! The food (wedding breakfast and evening buffet) was delicious, and DJ stuck to our playlist that we had sent.
All of our guests had an amazing time and we would definitely recommend Whitley Hall!

A couple of areas to improve:

Only 2 mirrors in the Queen Mary suite for all the girls getting ready - thankfully I checked in at 3pm and told them to bring their own!
When the DJ spoke most of the guests couldn’t understand him but that didn’t seem to really matter.
There was a bit of an issue with us checking into our bridal suite at the end of the night, I don’t know how that’s typically meant to happen but it was a bit faffy! Also we had swapped the usual suite for a different room, it would have been nice to have a card or something in there to make it more special.
I had had a few issues of miscommunication before the day, with different staff giving different answers, and feeling that I was always chasing them up about things without being emailed first. HOWEVER all the reviews reassured me that despite communication issues, the coordinators on the day would pull it out of the bag, and they certainly did.
