The Most Incredible Day

We booked the Balmer Lawn's Everything But the Dress Package and couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out. They have an incredible supplier list that work seamlessly with the venue and each other to create the most beautiful bespoke day which was better than we could have dreamed. Nothing was too much trouble and every member of staff went above and beyond to welcome us and our guests. Thank you Ruth, Charlotte, Briony and everyone else for helping us create such a perfect day!

The Balmer Lawn team were so informative and supportive throughout the whole wedding experience. As well as loving the beautiful setting and adoring the hotel, Ruth’s calm and informative approach fully sold the hotel to us as our wedding venue. Ruth was always readily available whenever I needed her on emails and via phone. We felt the day went so smoothly and just as we had hoped. Overall, we loved our wedding day and couldnt be happier with how it went. I would definitely recommend this venu,

We had our wedding at the Balmer lawn on the 7th October and it was perfect, the hotel and staff were amazing from start to finish! Nothing was ever to much for them they went above and beyond from start to finish, Ruth was there and answered every single emails and endless questions no matter how small the question is. Everyone was polite and welcoming, when we arrived the reception staff took all our wedding stuff and put it away and they put everything the way we wanted it. We couldn’t of ask

Outstanding wedding venue in the most beautiful se

We just had our daughter’s wedding at Balmer Lawn. What a fabulous experience. The care, attention to detail and hospitality could not have been better. The Balmer Lawn team took care of everything exactly the way we wanted it, every detail was spot on. This meant that the day itself was relaxed, happy and fun, nothing was too much trouble for Lindsey and her excellent team. I cannot recommend this wedding venue highly enough. The stay at the hotel was equally good, we stayed 3 nights. Excellent

GREAT VENUE FOR A VERY SMALL WEDDING WEEKEND

M and I are getting on a tad so it seemed a good idea to “formalise” ourselves and get married. Having previously enjoyed family breaks here, we enquired as to whether they would do a mini-sized wedding. Ruth, their Weddings Coordinator, confirmed that they would and so we went ahead - just ten of us in total. Their planning was superb and the outcome, on the day, was a relaxed family occasion which was great fun. Every single member of staff seemed to know that we were the Bride and Groom and w

Everything But The Dress Wedding!

We had the most wonderful wedding day which surpassed our expectations! We had the Everything but the Dress package which made life so much easier! Throughout our wedding planning journey, Ruth has been exceptional. Everything from start to finish was easy, and taken care of. All the suppliers that work with the hotel do so regularly and all know each other well which also added to the ease of planning. Everything that we discussed on was recorded and followed through accordingly,

The most amazing experience

Cannot even describe what a good experience we had with Balmer Lawn. Our special day has exceeded all our expectations. We opted for the Everything but the dress package and I cannot recommend it enough. All the vendors involved have been amazing and so accommodating. Everyone put us first and nothing we asked for was too much. Ruth has been a pleasure to work with from start to finish, the kindest person we've met.

Everything but the Dress

This venue is just incredible- I would recommend it to anyone. From the moment we booked, Ruth and her team have been amazing. We got the Everything but the Dress package which meant we had no stress searching for suppliers. All of the suppliers were excellent and we got a perfectly tailor made day but with no stress. The communication in the lead up to the day was great- Ruth is very responsive to emails and so reassuring.
