Describe the best wedding that happened at Makeney Hall Hotel?
We had a Summer wedding (August 2024). The brides was absolutely lovely! one of the brides was from New Zealand so lots of her family came over to stay with us too. The people was so friendly, happy and the mood of the wedding was grate to be apart of. They Had the most amazing wedding entrance to the outside ceremony area, Zulu dancers walk the bride and her family down down signing and dancing with drums, it was a surprise to all their guest so was just brilliant. Even the wedding team couldn't help but dance along and coming out of the ceremony onto the main lawn was so energising. The whole day and night had such a good energy, with the most friendly and welcoming families.
