Hello, We just wanted to say a massive thank you for making our day so special yesterday. Everything was absolute perfection from the delicious canapés to the Michelin quality meal. All our guests commented how it was the best meal they had ever had at a wedding. The staff were so attentive and nothing was to much trouble! We would like to say a specific thank you to Jeramy, Bogdan and Clive they really made our day stress free and are a real credit to the hotel.

The Ivy Hill Hotel team put so much love and care into our special day, Libby, Charlotte, and Lewis were especially helpful and attentive throughout the process and day. They laid out the entire schedule, guiding us through the process. All of their help enabled the day to run smoothly. They also respond to any questions promptly via both email and call. Without asking, the hotel provided a video of the day, both lovely to have and a

My now husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and got married here on the second day. We cannot fault the staff. When we found out we would be having a 6 week old baby at the wedding after saying there would be no children we got a "yeah thats fine and congratulations " message and never once felt like it was a problem or an issue. We did have to ask for no hot plates to be brought over the baby's head but considering how stressful a wedding can be for everyone and how much has to be prepared and remembered it went amazing. The day was unfor

We had our dream wedding at Ivy Hill Hotel in Margaretting in August ’24. We planned our wedding for a good few years and Ivy Hill was brilliant for us in many ways. They always responded very quickly to all our questions and provided us with the right information at the right time. Ivy Hill Hotel is beautiful, from inside and outside, gardens too. Staff were always very helpful, professional and welcoming, nothing was too big an ask for them. They went beyond our expectations during the planning of our wedding and our wedding day. They surprised us during our Big Day so many times, and did things for us we did not even ask them to do, for example they fixed and decorated our wedding cake beautifully for us after it was delivered slightly damaged and decorated our ceremony table for us even though we did not ask them as we forgot to provide flower decorations for this. They also beautifully arranged our wedding favours on the tables. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. They were there for us during the day, helping us

Dear Libby & Team, Charlotte & myself would like to thank you for making our wedding reception so special. We found it lovely how from the beginning, you were prepared to help us make our reception as we wanted it. Your willingness to let us mix up the package menus a little to create what we believed would be the best menu for our guests (and what we liked!) was appreciated. The lemon meringue pie, although this dish is a favourite of ours, it was the best we've ever tasted. Many of the guests have commented on the quality of the food. Please pass on to our team our grateful thanks for their courteousness & assistance to all our guests and ourselves, to create what we can say was a flawless day. Please also pass on the very positive comments to your chef on duty that day and his kitchen team. The meal & buffet was a job very well done and it delighted everyone. Guests that stayed overnight really liked
