WHAT OUR COUPLES SAY
“One of the earliest weddings at Whitworth hall, marrying in Ocotober and had the most perfect day from start to finish. The venue was just amazing, Ben was absolutely fantastic who did our master of ceremonies.
We could not fault any of the staff they all went above and beyond to make us feel special. Emily our coordinator was brillant. Big shout out to Donna Cope who was amazing from start to finish.”
“We got married on 28/10 at Whitworth Hall and the whole team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. When we picked the venue we were blown away by the vision for the estate and were sold a concept. All I can say is the venue exceeded expectations and was more beautiful than we could of imagined.”
“We had the most amazing day and it truly was everything we could have wished for and more. ❤️
The staff were absolutely incredible from start to finish, so attentive, helpful and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and it made such a difference knowing we were in such good hands. All of our guests were completely blown away by the venue and how amazing everything was. Especially our guests with additional needs and dietary requirements!”
“A special shout-out and massive thank you must go to our Master of Ceremonies, Ben. Ben. He was an absolute standout! He kept everything running smoothly The success of a wedding relies so much on the MC, and Ben absolutely went above and beyond for us. His energy, character, and attention to detail ensured the entire day ran flawlessly. He truly is a master of his craft, and his going the extra mile made our special day stress-free and truly magical.”
“Honestly where do we even start? What a day, what a venue.
Myself and the groom were looked after amazingly by Ben, absolutely nothing was a problem. Matthew was another star of the show who took care of all things behind the scenes. His calming presence was exactly what I needed. All staff throughout the day were brilliant but we must say a special thank you to the bar staff on the evening!”
“Where do I even begin with Whitworth Hall… because the truth is, I genuinely have NO words for how incredible they were. From the very start of our wedding journey to the very last moment of our day, they didn’t just give us a venue, they gave us an experience that was seamless, magical, and quite literally perfect.”
