  • "My now husband and I were married at Makeney Hall in September 2021 and had the most amazing experience – from our first visit right through to our wedding day. When planning our wedding day with Stacey, the wedding coordinator, we were blown away by how brilliant and helpful she was! Stacey went out of her way to help us create our perfect day and we can’t thank her enough."

Makeney staff were great at looking after us. We had a brilliant wedding day and have some great memories”

When we first visited we knew straight away it’s where we wanted to get married, It’s something we will never forget. We have already seen a couple of pictures from the ceremony and the setting is just perfect. Please can you pass on our thanks to the wedding team and anyone who was there on the day to support our special day. We will leave you a review once we get chance, we just wanted to send a more personal thanks first. "
