Such A Magical DaySuch A Magical Day
Our wedding day was such a magical day, thanks to Prested Hall Hotel My wife and I feel like we are only now getting back to normality since getting wed a month ago at Prested Hall. What a crazy journey, but so much fun and our wedding day was such a magical day. Leanne Walsh (Events Manager) and her team deserve all our praise for making our wedding such a wonderful event. Their help and support from when we first approached them to be our wedding venue, all the way through the build up, the wedding day itself and on departure, the following day after breakfast - they were absolutely marvellous. From helping guests on the day and guiding my wife and I through the wedding, Leanne and her team were brilliant and we couldn't have asked for a better venue, a better team or a better day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

"Everything was perfect!""Everything was perfect!"
We hosted our wedding at Prested Hall in late September and accommodated as many family and friends as we could there on the night. Our events manager Melissa was fantastic - providing us with support long before the week of the wedding and during the week itself was instrumental with calming those wedding nerves :) Everything was perfect; from the warm professionalism shown by all the team at Prested Hall to the wedding breakfast and the fluid nature of the event. The guests had an extremely comfortable stay overnight and have all since provided feedback to us that this was truly an event in which they felt welcomed in a genuine manner by all at Prested. This hospitality in of itself is priceless and we would like to again extend a thanks to Melissa and crew and recommend this venue wholeheartedly for those who would like to hold a wedding here in future.We hosted our wedding at Prested Hall in late September and accommodated as many family and friends as we could there on the night.

Perfect wedding venuePerfect wedding venue
I could summarise this review in 3 words- Book this venue. Prested Hall is an absolutely amazing wedding venue, made even more amazing due to the awesome staff working here. Even from the first viewing of the venue, we were made to feel very special, and it was clear right away that these guys go far above and beyond what one would normally expect. Due to my partner working away, a date (25th August) was held back for 3 weeks until he could see the venue, which I can't see every venue doing! All the meetings we had in the planning phase, along with meal tasting and wine tasting, were superb. Everything, down to the smallest detail was discussed and noted, and by the time our wedding came around it was wonderful to see everything come together. Kathryn, our wedding event manager at Prested, the rest of the team and other events managers, are the most lovely people you could hope to have running your wedding day. In the weeks running up to the wedding, Prested liaise with all your vendors without you needing to, and set everything up on your behalf. Many people noted how relaxed both Ralf and I were on the day, and this is because there really was nothing to worry about- everything was covered. The actual day, with outdoor ceremony, was absolutely perfect in every way. Everyone noted how amazing Kathryn was in making everything so seamless. The meal in the marquee with the front side taken down was awesome, and the evening was perfect too, with the buffet seemingly never ending! All in all, I can't use the words amazing, perfect, etc enough, and we couldn't stop smiling on the day. Definitely visit this venue and have a look, you won't be disappointed!I could summarise this review in 3 words- Book this venue.

2nd time around at Prested Hall!2nd time around at Prested Hall!
My husband and I got married at Prested Hall 3rd September 2017. We decided to have the afternoon tea garden party, and as the weather was kind to us we were able to say our vows under the pretty gazebo by the lake. From start to finish the day went perfectly, the food was amazing, all freshly cooked and baked, and we especially enjoyed the jugs of pimms and beer on our tables instead of wine. The staff were fabulous! Every attention to detail covered, and our co-ordinator Melissa was wonderful, she went above and beyond her duties to make sure our day was perfect. We love Prested Hall so much it has become a second home to us! We have been back for lunch, and we will be going back on our 1st anniversary. Prested Hall is like a warm and inviting home from home. We would do it all again if we could! My husband and I got married at Prested Hall 3rd September 2017.

Our beautiful wedding!Our beautiful wedding!
We were married at Prested Hall in May 2017 and it was a perfect day. The grounds are beautiful and it was the most glorious setting for our outdoor ceremony by the lake . Our reception took place inside where we had a gorgeous sit-down evening buffet. The food was delicious. Our wedding organiser took care of everything from start to finish and it was a wonderful day. I would very highly recommend this venue!We were married at Prested Hall in May 2017 and it was a perfect day.

Amazing wedding day!Amazing wedding day!
The first time we saw Prested Hall my partner and I knew it was perfect for our wedding day! The venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff are friendly and helpful. We visited Prested on several occasions before our wedding day and each time we fell in love with it more. We even visited for an afternoon tea.

Staff were amazing, food was gorgeousStaff were amazing, food was gorgeous
Just wow. 18 months of planning for the best day of my life. Married just 2 days ago and cannot fault a single second. My event co-ordinator was amazing and looked after us from start to finish. I was close to tears when she clocked off in the evening as I wanted her to stay and party with us. The staff were amazing, the food was gorgeous and I cannot rate this place high enough. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and we've had many a "best wedding ever" comment. Thank you so much xxxxJust wow. 18 months of planning for the best day of my life.
