Fantastic Venue

Amazing venue which was everything we hoped it would be. The staff were fantastic in making sure everything went smoothly on the day. Despite us being a bit behind time wise, the staff never passed this stress onto us but dealt with it very well behind the scenes. The venue enabled some amazing pictures to be taken, providing a very memorable experience worthy of a wedding day. The food provided in the pods was just what we needed for our day, and again the staff were perfect in making sure we were catered for, without hassling us. Thank you Trentham!

We had a fantastic day & the service was excellent

We did want to say thank you very much to you and the team. We had a fantastic day and the service was excellent. We appreciate we were running late on the day and that may have caused stress behind the scenes, but that was never passed onto us. You were very accommodating. Also the team in the pods were very attentive, without being too much so, and helped make the day really special.

What I believe to be the best venue in England

My wedding day was absolutely amazing, I often wish I could relive it over & over. It was undeniably a perfect day, set in what I believe to be the best venue in England. I eagerly look forward to the opportunity to visit again & reminisce. The venue itself was stunning and the staff, incredible. Our guests were also captivated by its beauty and uniqueness. Our ceremony by the water was a dream come true, despite a little rain, the backdrop of the breathtaking gardens more than made up for it!

We couldn't have wished for better...

Hannah the wedding planner has been superb, from the first enquiry throughout. She communicated regularly with us, was reassuring and supportive. What she arranged was perfect and we couldn't have wished for better. We chose cream tea in a pod for our guests, Aris was our designated server during the afternoon tea. Utterly charming, attentive and delivered a great service until we left. Please thank Hannah and Aris, our day was memorable and faultless

The venue was outstanding, all our guests loved it

Our requirement was to hold a large scale Islamic wedding. Trentham Estate had never hosted such a cultural and religious wedding but despite that they truly went out of their way to understand our requirements and mark this day with great style. The venue was outstanding, all our guests loved it. Hannah (the events manager) went out of her way to check all our special requirements had been adhered to and even provided complimentary gazebos for prayer space. We received a truly personal service.

You exceeded expectations, everything was amazing

Trentham was so fantastic from day 1 up until today (our wedding day!). Hannah made us feel comfortable from the start and always promptly answered questions we had (no matter how silly!). The day went perfectly - Hannah went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and that every small detail was considered for our big day! The catering was perfect & accommodated last-minute menu changes without question. The setting is like something out of a fairy tale! What more could we want?!
