A beautiful venue and a wonderful day. My son and his partner got married at Smeetham Hall in March 2022, two years after their original date had to be cancelled at the very last minute because of the first Covid lockdown. The staff at Smeetham had been brilliant in helping them get through to the eventual date this year.
The venue is in such a beautiful setting by the lake. The Barn is a really lovely old building and because of its character it does not need huge amounts of decoration to enhance its beauty as a backdrop for a wedding.
The whole place was spotlessly clean and in addition to the usual toilets, there is a room set aside for the bridal party to use and a separate toilet for the bride’s use.
The catering company - Splinters - included in the price package were excellent. A good choice of menus and plenty of food. My son and his wife chose a duck starter which was delicious, followed by roast beef and a trio of desserts. The big eaters amongst the wedding party asked the servers for more roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings which were duly supplied. We had so many compliments afterwards about the wedding and several people mentioned that the wedding breakfast was the best they had experienced.
There are a good number of nice locations for photos. The videographer included in the bridal package was brilliant and we cannot thank him enough for the beautiful video that he produced. He also helped our good friend who was in charge of taking some more general photos, giving him some tips and tricks to get some additional good photographs. He was never made to feel in the way.
We also hired the disco that is recommended in the package. He was very good and played a wide range of music that got people up on the dance floor having fun.
We all had such a wonderful day and are so grateful for the staff at Smeetham Hall for making it so special after having waited two years. The day went by so quickly but the memories will last a lifetime.
