Our perfect wedding venue
The Holt Hotel were everything we were looking for when choosing a venue and Emma, the coordinator, was simply amazing. No question was stupid and nothing was too much to ask, she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the process and everything felt very easy and effortless. Every time we came to visit prior to the wedding all the staff remembered us by name and were warm and friendly and we were always amazed by how spotlessly clean the place was. The actual wedding day went by without a single issue (that we knew of!). Emma and her team were phenomenal and took care of everything. We could not have asked for anything more. Our guests all raved about how good the food was too! We would recommend this hotel to anyone in a heartbeat and we could not say thank you enough times for everything Emma and her team did to make our day as perfect as we could have wished for.

Wonderful hotel. We got married here in 2006 & recently held our renewal of vows here too. Spacious hotel, many lovely areas to sit & relax, to drink & eat. Many different rooms to choose from to stay in. Lovely food. Friendly & knowledgeable staff.

Wedding
We had our wedding at the holt on Friday 20th. The staff were absolutely phenomenal and made our special day so perfect!! Emma helped us plan everything, months before hand and was with us every step of the way to make sure it all happened. All our family and friends travelled over and stayed at the holt they also couldn’t recommend this beautiful place enough. Food was absolutely incredible!! And Irish Sean was great at rallying the troupes up for special moments

Beautiful Hotel and Amazing Staff
The Holt Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding. Leading up to the wedding we had been regularly co-ordinating with Emma (the wedding organiser at the Holt) and she did an amazing job helping to take the stress off by dealing with so much of the organising for the actual day. It felt like we only had to give a rough timeline for when things would happen on the day, pick the food we wanted, and the rest was taken care of by the extremely capable staff. The reception area looked beautiful on the day and all of the guests had only positive things to say about the venue and the beauty of the hotel itself. The food for the wedding meal was delicious. The smooth transitions from the meal, to the cake with tea and coffee and then to the evening party could not have been handled better. The fact that our guests were able to stay in the hotel after the evening party and then have breakfast with us in the morning was a lovely addition to the event, and made it extra special. All of the staff were extremely professional and friendly, with all our friends and family giving glowing comments about them. Special thanks to Emma and Rita for organising everything on the day so that it all ran smoothly, Sam and Will for being extremely friendly bar staff and helping some of the guests at the evening party, Aaron on security for helping to organise room changes on the day of the wedding when one guest had forgotten to book and another was no longer able to stay! There were other members of staff that had been mentioned to me who helped out the bride's Aunt with decor, but unfortunately I did not catch their names. We cannot begin to thank the Holt hotel enough for how amazing they were in helping us celebrate our wedding day. We will be forever grateful to them. Thanks so much for hosting our wedding and giving the guests and ourselves such a fantastic evening.

Great Wedding
In October, we had our wedding reception (day and evening) at the Holt. We had made our choice quickly, as we had been to a wedding here previously. But I can honestly say that from that contact to when we left after the wedding, we never had a doubt over our choice. A lot of credit must go to Emma, who was always available, helpful and resourceful. From first view, the wedding fair, the magnificent taster evening, a family Sunday carvery and the event itself, we felt supported by a great team
