Thankyou so much.

Having looked at quite a few other venues in the doncaster area to host our evening wedding reception we chose the Earl due to loving the amazing art deco ballroom, it is a beautiful room of which we just fell in love with, however the whole of the hotel is beautiful in art deco style. From the start the hotel/staff listened to what we wanted for our wedding reception and between us a plan for our evening was made. From start to finish all the staff we had dealings with were fantastic and are a credit to the hotel with a mention to Ann-maria and the afternoon restaurant staff who looked after our small party of 18 wedding guests for an afternoon meal.The table service we received was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. A special mention to Leanne the wedding coordinator for the day..WOW what a truly amazing member of staff, this girl looked after everything on the day and night for us and really made our wedding day so special. Thank you so much to The Earl of Doncaster, we had the best day and night.
