The expansive library area, adorned with tasteful decor and quirky artwork, perfectly resonated with our vision for a wedding venue. Beyond merely hosting the ceremony, it provided an ideal setting for our guests to stay over several days, ensuring they experienced a cosy, relaxing, and luxurious retreat to celebrate our momentous occasion.
Contrary to our expectations, wedding planning proved surprisingly smooth, thanks to Scott’s adept handling of every detail. Our desires were fulfilled without compromise, from the initial venue booking to the special day itself. Each visit was met with a warm reception, making us feel genuinely supported.
Rather than confining festivities to a single day, we transformed the hotel into a pre-wedding haven for our guests. Witnessing everyone unwind and enjoy quality time under the attentive care of the staff added an extra layer of joy to the celebration. The hotel rooms were nothing short of incredible, ensuring everyone had a delightful experience. Scott and his team consistently went above and beyond, offering drinks with a seamless hospitality that made our guests feel at home.
Preparing in the spacious Bridal Suite was a delight. With ample room for bridesmaids, mums, and the Claire Alexandra Hair and Makeup team, we had a leisurely breakfast amid the pre-wedding preparations.
The Hadrian Suite mirrored our vision perfectly. Kate from Northumberland Flowers adorned it with flowers that captivated both the eyes and the senses. Behind the scenes, The Fleece team worked tirelessly, ensuring seamless operations throughout the day.
Delicious food was served promptly, meeting the varied needs of our guests. Stress was a distant thought; everything was impeccably managed, allowing us to bask in the joy of the day.
The evening celebration surpassed all expectations. James from Top Tunes Disco ensured the dance floor was alive, with the terrace and garden providing moments to cool down outside, while others enjoyed lively conversations in the lounge area.
The morning after, over a sumptuous breakfast, fond memories of the preceding night were shared by all. The Fleece earned a well-deserved 5-star rating for crafting not only our unforgettable weekend but also ensuring all our guests had an equally special experience. Team Fleece, led by the exceptional Scott and Alison, made the entire journey, from planning to execution, remarkably stress-free. We wholeheartedly recommend The Fleece, as it exceeded our expectations in every aspect.
