Blown away ...
Our wedding day was something like a dream and a lot of our guests told us it was one of the best Weddings they have been to. The day ran so smoothly and any issues were dealt with promptly and without question. I have had no end of comments from family and friends telling me how lovely the Grand Hotel is and in particular how kind and helpful all the staff were. Guests have told us stories about doormen, front of house team, porters, cleaners, kitchen staff, waiters/waitresses and of course the

Overall, a fantastic experience
The overall experience was excellent from The Grand Hotel, the day ran so smoothly and everything was where it needed to be throughout the day. Yasmina, our planner, made sure our day was how we wanted it and was prompt with any questions we had. Everyone who came said what a wonderful setting the hotel was, and to us it will now hold great memories. I didn’t catch the names of the staff in the room with us but they were great and nothing was a problem.

Outstanding wedding
Billie-Jo and Lottie are incredible assets to your team. They provided outstanding service from start to finish and were always open to helping us with any requests for our special day. During the pandemic, Billie-Jo was a consistent source of support. This helped make a stressful situation manageable. Billie-Jo went above and beyond for us at that time. Since our wedding, many of our guests have commented on how fantastic the food was, particularly the vegan option.
