The Palace Hotel & Spa

Myself and Paul first discovered The Palace Hotel back in February 2022 after searching for Wedding Venues in one of our favourite places Buxton. Paul contacted the Hotel and arranged for a meeting and show around with one of the Wedding and Events Co-ordinator's, we went to the meeting with my mum Rebecca and Pauls dad Ian, we all fell in love with the Hotel and my mum said if your happy and you want your wedding here I will secure the date and pay the deposit. Flashing forward to The Big Day! My morning started early along with my Bridal party for us to have our hair and makeup done and to get ready, as discussed and arranged with the Hotel we had our breakfast orders sent to the beautiful Palace Suite which was lovely. Both Melissa and Fiona came to see me in the suite and check that myself and my Bridal party were doing ok, Melissa and Fiona were so comforting and helpful as they have been from the very start, no request was ever too much and along with Melissa and Fiona the whole of the hotel crew from all departments went above and beyond as they always have done each time we have visited the hotel for both meetings about the wedding and also on the many social occasions we have spent there with our family, the hotel truly is a home away from home for Myself and Paul. The whole day ran smoothly and every detail was perfect thanks to the venue stylists Alison, Abbie and their team at Rumour Entertainments who worked along side the Hotel crew. Our three course meal was delicious and very filling all of our guests commented on how the food was the best they had, ever at a wedding and each and everyone of us was full which kept us all going until the evening buffet which was also delicious and filling, our compliments were made to the chef's for their wonderful food. We had The Chatsworth Suite for our ceremony and our wedding sit down meal, the room turn around that was in place between the ceremony and wedding sit down meal was carried out whilst ourselves and our wedding guests were outside for photo's and whilst we went across to the gardens at the park for further photo's which we travelled to in horse and carriage which was a beautiful experience, Melissa and Fiona both took good care of the horse and carriage on the day and made sure that all went smoothly. The Evening Reception started off with an Elvis Tribute followed by a Celine Dion Tribute both artists were taken good care of during their time at the Hotel. The rest of the evening was taken care of by Natalie and the rest of the events team and they made sure we were all having the best time. From start to finish the Hotel team and everyone else who helped to make our day so special have truly become good friends who we know we will see often as our time visiting the lovely Hotel is not over as it has become one of our favourite places to visit.

We are so glad that we chose the Palace Hotel for our wedding venue. The support that we received from the wedding coordinator Melissa was faultless. She was involved in so much of the planning which really took the pressure off of us and made the wedding planning process enjoyable. Every time we met her we left the meeting feeling positive and excited, and felt confident in her. We are also extremely grateful that she agreed to meet us on Saturdays as we both work full time during the week, and also she replied to my emails very quickly which also made me feel at ease. She was very professional, but also really friendly and approachable. She came up with a schedule that worked well for us and allowed us time to go to a local valley for our photos. Nat was also co-ordinating the day and we were so impressed by her hard work as well, she really helped the day to flow smoothly. The venue is absolutely stunning with big bright rooms and traditional elements. The venue dressing and DJ were also brilliant. We absolutely loved the decor and it was even better than what we were hoping for! We can't believe how much decor was included in the package price, and the optional extras eg flower arch were well priced and looked lovely. We loved doing the wedding as a package, it made the planning so much easier. The bridal suite to get ready in was so nice, and we also enjoyed the menu tasting. Overall we had such a good experience at the Palace Hotel, particularly due to Melissa and the wonderful staff. We would highly recommend a wedding at this venue.

We had a wonderful wedding day at The Palace Hotel, we’ve just had our one year anniversary. The Palace were amazing and did everything they could for us all.

Overall the whole day/ night was incredible very well organised and the rooms went beyond our expectations! Melissa and Nat are a massive credit to the hotel very attentive, caring and just generally lovely ladies, to get along with. Without Melissa and Nat the day would not of been anything like it was (whatever we wanted they made happen without hesitation) and deserve a bonus for each wedding lol. The food was fantastic throughout and was topped up until everyone was full. I cant thank everyo

I cant thank everyone within the Palace Hotel enough for accommodating my mum (very limited mobility) to the length they did for her and making it as comfortable as possible and for that I will be forever grateful for.

When your first born gets married it is always an emotional rollercoaster! However the team at the Palace helped but mine and my daughters worries at ease with the constant support and the support of team on the day as well!

Feeling blessed

Married in July 2023.

From the first time, me and David stepped into the Palace we fell in love with the place. We met Melissa and she showed us around the Palace and helped us with ideas on our wedding plans! As David was never much help apart from he turned up which was a bonus! aahahah Thank you Palace for making my dreams come true!

Had our full wedding ceremony at the Palace with afternoon tea for our 120 day guests followed by an extra 70 at night with bacon and sausage sandwiches and chips, our wedding co ordinator was amazing with the help & extras we needed as were all the staff on duty on the day always there if we needed anything. the catering staff were 100% on allergies, vegetarians, gluten etc. We booked out 25 rooms for some of our quests who wished to stay and all the rooms /suites had been refurbished, breakfas
