Testimonials

"Hi Joanne, I just wanted to send an email to thank you and all the staff at Dunkenhalgh for providing an excellent service for my brothers wedding. A special thanks to you, Khrishna (Duty manager) and Daisy- each of you were extremely helpful, friendly and very accommodating, nothing was too much to ask. The wedding was perfect, many guest complimented the venue and I would highly recommend you. Please pass on our thanks from my family to all the staff, you all did a great job!!"
Habiba

 

"We looked and made a list of possible places within our area and the Dunkenhalgh was the first we decided to visit. I would never book or buy anything from a first look however I was so impressed with the staff and how they first looked after us right down to the detailed explanation of how everything would work we just booked and I can’t tell you how happy we are that I did. I was kept up to date with everything from day one and all we asked for was not only executed but to excess, all your staff from the wonderful people serving breakfast to the ladies at reception could not have been more kind. I use that word “kind” as it’s a long way from just nice that really made us feel that they cared and we mattered and that’s a big difference. Before I finish this email I need to mention two ladies above all as without them not only would the day have been much less enjoyable for all our guests my now wife would have had a melt down but they kept every worry away from her and myself.

I would like to shower the highest praise on Joanne who organised everything with me up to a week before the wedding and the wonderful lady who looked after me the whole week before and was on the ground during the two days we spent at the hotel Edwena I truly cant explain what an asset they are, they are more than lovely.
Thank you all so much our entire lives from now on will be enhanced by the memories of our wedding day and that is all down to your staff so they will be with us forever."
Biarre and Susan

"Joanne, We just wanted to write to you to thank you for all your efforts over the past few months in helping to organise Charlotte and Matthews wedding reception which was held on Sunday 31st December. All your efforts and input certainly paid off which helped make it the success that it certainly was. So again, many thanks for your professionalism and care throughout.

We also wanted to add thanks for the care and attention showed to us by Neil Wardally and Edwina McDonough who were extremely thorough in their care and attention on the day preceding of the wedding when we came over to set up etc and on the day itself.

Many of our guests commented on the excellent service received initially by those waitresses serving canapes and drinks and latterly how professional and polite all waiters and bar staff were throughout the afternoon and into the evening. I would be grateful therefore if you could relay our comments to the staff and to their managers.

Thanks once again and best wishes for 2018."

 

"I am the very proud mother of Becci who married Danny on September 2nd. I have been away on holiday since then, so, now that I am home, I want to thank all the staff of the Dunkenhalgh who helped to make the wedding day so memorable.

The organisation of the day was efficient and yet relaxed; and we were blessed with a warm and dry day which enabled full use of the outdoor areas. The food was delicious; many guests commented upon this. The room was attractively set and managed throughout the day.

I would especially like to mention the special contribution made by Peter, our Master of Ceremonies. He ensured that everything came together as planned, even when we were running a little late. His manner was warm and friendly, yet thoroughly professional. He was clearly committed to making sure that the day was a success.

Please share this “Thank you” with all the staff who were involved. We would definitely recommend the Dunkenhalgh as a wedding venue. I just wish that we could do it all again!"

 

"We had an absolutely amazing day and married life is wonderful!! Please pass on our thanks to all the team, but especially to Peter! He was just fantastic!! I can't thank him enough for all his help and being the lovely smiling friendly face for all our questions!

Our guests had a wonderful time, we were complemented many times on the food and very much enjoyed it ourselves!

It was a simply fabulous experience all round! I wish we could do it again!! Thanks to all of the staff and also to you for your help along the way."

 

"Hi Joanne, We would like to say a massive thank you for all the help we received from you in planning Ameer and Asma's wedding on Sunday. Everything was perfect. Edwina did a great job managing the event and the waiters/waitresses were spot on with their service. Everything went to plan and we couldn't fault anything.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Dunkenhalgh to anyone wishing to plan an event there.

Please thank all staff involved on our behalf."

Our day was absolutely amazing. Every detail had been prepared just as we wanted and it really blew us away to see all our plans brought to life so nicely.

Thank you so much for all your hard work and effort - we are so glad we chose the Dunkenhalgh for our wedding as everything from the ceremony to the recpetion was just beautiful.

"This is a short note of thanks on behalf of myself , my Wife Caroline , Gary and Becky and Gary’s parents John and Wendy. Several of us stayed the night before the wedding ( and enjoyed a sumptuous meal in the restaurant). The next day the Ceremony took place in the Hotel where we also had the wedding breakfast with you and at night the traditional Disco and buffet. I cannot stress how pleased we were with the event as a whole and how well it was managed. You were all so well organised . The food at both the wedding breakfast and evening function was faultless as were the service staff. To produce so many meals immaculately presented ( and hot ) was a tribute to the chef and his team. Particular thanks must go to Simon who took the strain away from us all on the day. " Becky and Gary
