Leah, we'd both like to thank yourself and the staff at the olde Bell for helping to make our wedding such a good day. Vincent truely made the day run like clockwork and we genuinely feel that it was entirely down to him that our wedding was so nice. So, once again, thankyou to you and the old Bell for a memorable day and please convey our great appreciation to Vincent who is an absolute gem.

Excellent characterful wedding venue located in the beautiful village of Hurley, in Berkshire. Couples can exchange vows in the Malt House, or the 16th-century Tithe Barn, where the low light will push your photographer's camera to its limit. On the plus side, it has a great atmosphere. As well as the venue itself, there are other pretty locations for photos either in the village or a short stroll away by the river. Lots of parking onsite and having a days celebration all at a single location.

A perfect, intimate wedding

We booked the Norman room for our small wedding reception. On arrival, the table was beautifully laid and our Prosecco was served by Vincent, our attentive host. The meal was great and, as the sun was shining. Our bedroom was lovely with a personalised congratulations card and bed strewn with rose petals. The bathroom was spotlessly clean and modern. The room overlooked the courtyard and garden. Perfect. Many thanks to Leah, the wedding coordinator, and all the friendly staff. We will be back

I would like to thank you for your organisation of my son's recent wedding. The wedding was on Friday 9th August - Joel & Georgina. Everything was perfect - the venue looked beautiful, the food was delicious & your staff were excellent. Lots of people commented on how much they enjoyed themselves so please could you pass on our thanks to all the staff who were working that day. I would highly recommend the Olde Bell for a wedding reception.

Glorious again!

We just had our wedding at the Olde Bell after booking it based on my experience of it about ten years ago. My visit in February was mixed - but the management team were working to get it back to its glory. And they did! I couldn't be more thankful to all the wonderful staff who helped us on the day, and a huge shout out especially to Vincent and Leah who made it such a success. Damn the food was good too! Three cheers to all who have worked so hard. Thank you thank you thank you!

Fantastic day at The Olde Bell

We recently held our wedding at the olde bell and can't fault them at all. Leah's professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication were second to none. Without her support and guidance, our experience would have been significantly more stressful and demanding. On the wedding day, Vincent's expertise and efficiency were truly remarkable. We are beyond grateful for the exceptional service provided by Leah, Vincent, and the entire team at the Olde Bell.
