We got married there last November 2013 and had an amazing day. The staff could not have been more accommodating. Beautiful surroundings, lovely rooms and exceptional food. All our guests were overwhelmed with how great the hotel was and how lovely the staff were. Definitely recommend getting married there. Can't wait to go back for the weekend.

Once again we just wanted to thank you and the staff at the Balmer Lawn for helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives. It all went by so quickly but we loved every second of it and wish we could do it all over again. Both the night before the wedding and the day of the wedding the staff could not do enough to help us and our guests. Alex and I were both made to feel like VIPs on the day and that was very much appreciated. All of our guests commented on how helpful and friendly the staff were and we thought that you would like to know this and to pass on our messages of thank to everyone. The food was delicious and we had many praises for the meals and the buffet as well. We would recommend the Balmer Lawn to anyone who wishes to have a funfilled and virtually stress free wedding as you all helped to make it so easy for us.

Well what can I say it was everything we wanted and so much more! From looking around the hotel until picking up missed bits and pieces after the wedding we were given 5* attention and treatment. Everyone commented what a great day they had saying how attentive and polite all the staff were from waitresses & waiters, bar staff, receptionists, also the great food, and the ease and relaxed nature of it all!! Which is exactly what we had wanted no stress and to just enjoy every minute!

Clare and Graham

Our wedding at The Balmer Lawn was absolutely perfect. From the venue itself, to the staff who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day. I was a very demanding bride, but no request was too much for them. We used the Beaulieu Suite for our wedding and would highly recommend it, the layout and location is ideal. A shout out must go to the quality of the food and the expertise of the chef, who managed to cater for a bride with many food allergies! The day itself was wonderful with so many of our guests commenting that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to.

Emma and Chris Logan

We were both very happy & pleased with how smoothly the day went, in particular the way Slavo kept us on track with timings and also the way he notified us of each point throughout the day, including the evening buffet. Some of our friends who have been married before mentioned they never got to sample their evening buffet! A massive thank you to you & the rest of the staff at Balmer Lawn for making it such a special day to remember. So many of our friends and relatives commented on how wonderful the food & the day in general was. So thank you so much.

Sarah and Lee

We'd rate our wedding as 10/10 - we couldn't fault a thing! The planning was smooth - you have been really helpful with any queries we have had and have been really calming for us both! The food was delicious, both the starter and the main were beautiful. The pudding was nice too. All of the staff have been brilliant, so friendly and professional - a real credit to the hotel! 10/10

Nikki and Kurt Halliday

We very much enjoyed our day and our stay. The service at Balmer is absolutely faultless, and your attention to detail let me nothing at all to have to think about, which is literally a complete first for a control freak like me! Please pass on my sincere gratitude to Slavo and the team for all their efforts on the day.
