Nicola & Junior – Married 05/02/24 - Staff were great and always available to answer any queries we had prior to our big day, manager was amazing and made sure to facilitate to all our needs. Our day ran smoothly; food was yummy and was able to cater to our guests who had dietary requirements also allowing us access to the rooms the night before to be able to decorate was an added bonus! Thank you, Ivy.
M & Z – Married 03/08/24 - We had our dream wedding at Ivy Hill Hotel in Margaretting in August ’24. We planned our wedding for a good few years and Ivy Hill was brilliant for us in many ways. They always responded very quickly to all our questions and provided us with the right information at the right time. Ivy Hill Hotel is beautiful, from inside and outside, gardens too. Staff were always very helpful, professional and welcoming, nothing was too big an ask for them. They went beyond our expectations during the planning of our wedding and our wedding day. They surprised us during our Big Day so many times, and did things for us we did not even ask them to do, for example they fixed and decorated our wedding cake beautifully for us after it was delivered slightly damaged and decorated our ceremony table for us even though we did not ask them as we forgot to provide flower decorations for this. They also beautifully arranged our wedding favours on the tables. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. They were there for us during the day, helping us with things we did not think of. We highly recommend Ivy Hill Hotel and we look forward to use the venue in the future.
Jane & Gary – Married 10/08/24 - Absolutely wonderful... staff were first class with everything... could not fault a thing... would definitely return... loved every second. Absolutely 1st class... could not fault a thing... lovely afternoon ... staff were so friendly and professional.
Helen & Dan – Married 24/05/25 - My now husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and got married here on the second day. We cannot fault the staff. When we found out we would be having a 6-week-old baby at the wedding after saying there would be no children we got a "yeah that’s fine and congratulations" message and never once felt like it was a problem or an issue. The day was unforgettable for all the good reasons. The grounds were beautiful and allowed for some stunning photos and the food was amazing.
Nick & Amy – Married 30/08/25 - The Ivy was the first wedding venue we looked at when considering venues for our wedding whilst viewing others we kept coming back to the idea of The Ivy mainly due to how amazing and friendly the staff were (beautiful grounds massive added bonus) and after having our wedding this weekend I can honestly say we absolutely don’t regret our decision we have had the most amazing weekend and nothing was to much to ask for the staff literally ended up fitting in like family... Libby, you eased my nerves at every given opportunity and nothing was too much trouble, so attentive and we can’t thank you all enough.
Richard & Sarah – Married 19/07/25 - We had our special day at the Ivy Hill Hotel. All the staff were very friendly and helpful in all our plans and on our day. Libby was amazing, organising and making sure everything went to plan. She went above and beyond in making our day everything we asked for. I couldn’t say enough how amazing it all was and how smoothly it was run. The food was out of this world and all our guests commented saying what a lovely venue it was and how lovely the food was. Best experience ever.
Declan & Shalini – Married 28/05/25 - We had our wedding breakfast at Ivy Hill and it was a truly wonderful experience. The venue is beautiful in the summer and the staff are always very attentive. They made sure we were well looked after on our special day!
James & Jiska – Married 28/08/25 - The Ivy Hill Hotel team put so much love and care into our special day, Libby, Charlotte, and Lewis were especially helpful and attentive throughout the process and day. They laid out the entire schedule, guiding us through the process. All of their help enabled the day to run smoothly. They also respond to any questions promptly via both email and call. Without asking, the hotel provided a video of the day, both lovely to have and also for family that couldn’t attend. We couldn’t recommend the Ivy Hill Hotel enough; we shall be back for our anniversary.
Claire & Dave – Married 29/08/25 - Lovely place to get married and staff nothing was too much trouble went smoothly and food was amazing thank you would definitely recommend.
