A huge thank you to you
Now we have come up for air, we would also like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to you, Briony and the team at Hales Hall and De’Ath Hospitality for all your help over the last 10 months and on the day itself. You have always been so professional, yet friendly and accommodating. Your expertise and guidance enabled us to put together our dream wedding, which ran seamlessly from start for finish thanks to you and your team’s efficiency and attention to detail. I have received so many compliments on the food which was delicious and the venue, which is so beautiful (many people have said it was the best they have been to - we would agree!). Anyway, we really couldn’t have done it all without you (particularly the flower girls’ entrance - thanks for facilitating that!!) and we are over the moon that we have such amazing memories and pictures of a fantastic day / weekend.
Also thanks again for clearing up on the Sunday which enabled us to enjoy a leisurely breakfast with our friends and family. We really appreciate it!

We could have stayed longer
Dear Emily,

As the dust settles on our wedding last weekend and we've made it back to Geneva, Myles and I just wanted to pass on our heartfelt thanks for all your helpover the past months and of course, particularly for last weekend. Hales was such a magical place to have our reception, helped in no small part by yourself and your team - we have no doubt that a significant amount of behind-the-scenes work and coordination went on to make everything run so spectacularly smoothly and professionally! Everyone on the team was so friendly and thoughtful - it really
helped make the day so special. Your emails have always been so clear and helpful, enabling us to understand how
we could tailor the weekend exactly as we wished, all the more impressive when we kept changing things and didn't make up our minds particularly quickly!
The canapes and the meal were delicious and we had loads of compliments on the range and tastiness of everything on offer!
Thanks also for being so flexible with visits to Hales, on the setting up day, and also for tidying everything up afterwards to make it as easy as possible for us to head off on the Sunday. A recurring comment was 'if only we could have stayed longer!' as well as many people saying that it was one of the best weddings they'd
ever been to and how stunning the venue was!

With best wishes for the rest of the season,
Helen and Myles

The day could not have gone better
We genuinely cannot thank you enough for everything that you did for the wedding,
the day could not have gone better and absolute credit to you both for managing
things so well in such a calm way (I am not sure how you do it!)

The perfect venue
We had Hales Hall and Great Barn as our wedding reception venue on 1st September 2018,
it was absolutely the perfect venue and was everything we had been looking for and more!
From the moment we walked through the entrance at our first viewing, we knew it would be
the place we would be celebrating our wedding with everyone we loved!
Briony and Emily were an absolute joy to work with, and put us at ease from the beginning.
Their knowledge and experience, as well as passion made our day all the more special as we
could relax and enjoy everything without having to worry about a thing.
All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about the venue, the food and how perfect the day was!
Thank you so much for letting us have Hales Hall and Great Barn for our happy ever after. It
was perfect!

I am just so grateful
We can't recommend this venue and their service enough!!!! We got married here on the 11th
August 2018. The beautiful Hall slept twenty five of our loved ones for three nights and we all
absolutely fell in love with this 14th century house, it is absolute heaven (take the online 3D
tour, you'll fall in love). This house is kitted out with everything you need and is short of
nothing. Our wedding day was just perfect and people have commented that it was the best
wedding they have ever been to. I honestly think this is down to not only the beautiful venue
with stunning grounds but also the service that came with it. Emily and Briony ran and
managed the day like pro's. Nothing was too much to ask, they are highly experienced
wedding co-ordinaters and I am just so grateful to have had them there.

Where do we start?! Hales Hall have been a brilliant wedding venue from start to finish of the process and Briony & Emily have been fantastic throughout. The venue is beautiful in itself, but for us we desperately wanted a venue where we could relax and know that the day would just run, which it definitely did. The food was brilliant, the staff worked so hard and everything ran seamlessly. Thank you so much for making our special day extra special. X

Thank you so so much for everything
Thank you so so much for everything you have done it was absolutely beautiful. We apologise it didn’t go to plan but everyone has said it was the best wedding venue, they loved loved the venue/music and so many positive comments about the food.

You went above and beyond and it was just amazing so thank you - we want to slow it all down and do it again

The staff and you deserved the tip we left as no one waited for a drink and everything was just perfect. So thank you so much. We will send you over photos once we get them

Thanks once again
Thanks once again for all you and the team did for our wedding day. We have had so many compliments on every aspect including the food, the organisation and how seamless everything was. We never had any doubt in you both but we are so pleased with how everything went too!

We had a lovely honeymoon (*not* in north wales - still not quite over that...!) and it feels very strange now being back with no wedding to plan!

Thanks once again and hopefully we will see you again

Hales Hall was the most beautiful venue
Hales Hall was the most beautiful venue for our wedding on 2nd June. Briony and Emily were incredibly professional and lovely to work with to make our day so special. The barn is fantastic and so many of our guests commented on what an amazing venue it was. The gardens are beautiful and we have so many wonderful photos. We couldn't have been happier with our choice and would very much recommend this stunning venue!

I wanted to message to say a huge Thank you!
I wanted to message to say a huge Thank you! (Briony I am filling up with tears again while typing!!)

We had an absolutely amazing wedding weekend and the entire experience would not have been possible without you both and the team making everything run like clockwork from the planning to the actual day.

Everyone has commented on what an amazing venue, food, set up everything and it means the world that our wedding day was so perfect and everything we wished for.

It was a truly memorable weekend and I think I was as upset about saying goodbye to Hales as I was saying goodbye to my family!!
