Best day of our lives
Can't express how great our wedding was at The Maynard. The process felt so simple and straightforward with the help from Katie and her team from booking to the day itself. Everything possible was considered in the lead up, and we were able to adapt things to exactly how we wanted them to be on the day. On the day itself, Katie was fantastic making sure we had everything we needed, knew where we were going and just totally removed all the stress. The venue was stunning, easy to get out for photos and just generally do exactly what we wanted. We booked a band through their wedding fayre and got so many compliments on them too. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking, best day of our lives! Can't wait to continue to return to The Maynard in the future to continue making memories there. Thanks so much to you!

Super kind and super professional
We had our wedding reception at the Maynard in March 2025 and we are so glad chose them. Katie, Zoe and the whole Maynard Team including waiting staff, bar staff etc were such a joy to work with. From From the very beginning, they were really responsive to our enquiries, friendly and accommodating: we were organising the wedding long distance and they were great with giving us and our families time on the phone and on video calls. Throughout the planning process we felt in safe hands because they’re just such a professional team, we were not super organised ourselves but they kept us on track with a timeline for planning, checking through all the details with us (prompting us on things we would not have thought about) and kept things flexible as our plans changed and kept us chill when we were stressed! On the day and the morning after they made everything run smoothly including tiny details and really looked after us and all the guests, and working directly with our chosen suppliers. The fact they decorated our room with our gifts and saved us a bit of wedding cake for the end of the night was just one example of a load of really sweet small touches that made a big difference. We think when you consider the whole package: the beautiful venue, the planning service, the set up and take-down, the beautiful bridal suite, the DJ and lots of lovely personal touches, it was good value for money, especially out of the summer season. We’re really grateful for all the Maynard Team did to give us a really special wedding reception.

The best day of our lives!
We booked The Maynard after an impromptu birthday lunch at the restaurant and were absolutely blown away by the food, the stunning location, and the beauty of the venue. We booked it on the spot—the honeymoon suite completely sold us, it’s absolutely breathtaking! From start to finish, the entire process was flawless. The team at The Maynard is exceptional—so kind, helpful, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Even when we had to change the date due to a baby, they were incredibly accommodating. Nothing was ever an issue—they met with us right away and helped us re-plan everything seamlessly. Special shoutout to Zoe and Katie, who are two of the loveliest people we’ve ever met. Getting to know them through the process was such a joy. At the end of the night, we returned to our room to find that the staff had thoughtfully brought all our presents upstairs, laid them out beautifully, and even plated up two slices of cake with a glass of fizz. Such a sweet and unexpected touch! The venue itself is a dream—classic and timeless, set right in the heart of the Peak District with the most spectacular views (especially from the honeymoon suite!). The reception room is stunning, with warm, cozy lighting that creates the perfect atmosphere. We loved every moment of our experience, from start to finish. Thank you to everyone at The Maynard for making our day so magical—we can’t wait to return many, many times in the future!

The Perfect Wedding Day.
We couldn’t have asked for a better day. The venue is beautiful and the garden space was perfect for our garden games but there still been more than enough room for all our guests to move about and enjoy the day. Lisa made the day perfect. She went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Nothing was too much. Some times you hear about things going wrong on wedding days but I can say that nothing went wrong for our day and I believe that is down to all the staff working together and making sure the bride and groom have the best day. All staff members were lovely, I didn’t catch the guys name but he was bringing out the canapés and he made sure that everyone got something and that myself and the groom had ours as we were busy taking photos. He was lovely. Everyone was attentive and had great attitudes making the day even better as everyone was happy and bringing excitement to the day. I could relive this day a million times and wouldn’t change a thing. Lisa is amazing and I’m so glad we got her as our wedding coordinator.

Best wedding ever!
The Maynard were so friendly and helpful right from the start of planning our wedding, and took care of everything on our big day so that we could just relax and celebrate! Katie, Zoe and Lisa and the team were lovely, thank you guys for all your hard work! Couldn't have asked for more. The venue was beautiful, great setting for outdoor drinks and photos. Bedrooms were really nice, love the big bath tub! Everyone enjoyed the food and were nicely full. Would recommend getting married here!

Everything we ever dreamed of
The Maynard wedding team (Zoe, Katie and Lisa) went above and beyond to help create the wedding day of our dreams. From the day we walked into the venue to view it until we checked out the day after our wedding, their care and attention was second to none. They were very focussed on the small details of the day, which helped it to flow very smoothly. Their catering was fantastic and they were brilliant at looking after our guests with dietary requirements and they made everyone in our family feel so welcome. Thank you so much!
