Very Lucky

What can I say... The day was perfect from start to finish. Despite the incredible heat, the staff were outstanding and didn't seem to break a sweat. Nothing was too much trouble, everything felt slick and we didn't once feel that we knew anything about the (what must've been) hot and stressful happenings behind the scenes. I believe it was Carolina who supported us during the evening so I'd like to give her a special mention. During the evening, she asked if she should put the evening food away to which I responded 'no! I haven't had any yet!' (I'd been too busy enjoying myself to eat anything.) Her response to this was to bring over my very own pizza, which I thought was so thoughtful. Throughout the evening she would pop over - in a completely unobtrusive manner - to give me updates or key information. She seemed to be all over it, without me even realising she was there. It just felt as if the staff really wanted us to have the best day... they really cared about us and wanted it to run as perfectly as we did. Of course, you have also been absolutely great during the whole planning process. We've obviously made a few tweaks and changes along the way but you never made us feel that we were being annoyed or an inconvenience. You were always so positive in our meetings and managed to dissipate any stresses that I had. For that, I'm very grateful! Before we'd even left the hotel on Monday we were already making plans to come for our anniversary. We keep reliving the day and feel very lucky indeed. Nothing will ever top Saturday 29th June 2019.

The day was seamless

From the moment we met the team at Rushton Hall we knew that it was the venue that we wanted to choose for our wedding. The events team were great, they did everything they could to ensure that our experience was the best it could possibly be, nothing was too much trouble and their attention to detail was exemplary. The day was seamless, the staff worked with a variety of different external providers from entertainment, florists and bakers with no trouble at all. The Venue was stunning and our guests were bowled over by its grandeur, but mainly by the excellent service offered by every member of Rushton Hall, It is truly an experience that everyone will remember and hold in the highest regard. We can't thank you all enough for not only making our day so special but for our extended weekend stay as well. The small details made a world difference and we recommend anyone and everyone to come and experience Rushton Hall. Val, you have an amazing team and thank you for everything. Family far and wide will be coming back to eat and stay at the Hotel. You have truly built something very special.
