Fabulous wedding day
Nothing but good memories of a spectacular wedding held in Alexander House in December. All held together magnificently by all the staff and Jennifer who coordinated the day. It's the little attention to detail and willingness of everyone to ensure your stay is up to their expectations and without doubt it was. Bizarrely I will always remember sitting out in the hot tub in the garden in the freezing cold before the wedding brought us back to reality. Once again I can only praise the staff and Jennifer and send them my thanks for making our sons wedding a wonderful memory

Everything you could possibly wish for..
Alexander House was the perfect venue for our wedding, it ticked all the right boxes as a venue goes but most of all it was the attention to detail that Jen the Co-Ordinator gave to our needs. Originally we planned to marry in August 2010 but we had to bring wedding forward to 14th November 2009. Jen took care of all our needs. Everything was so smoothly run. The food was fantastic and better than the original food tasting session. The buffet was absolutely 1st class and the whole day we felt it was our dream had come true. Thanks to Jen everything was perfect.

Perfect Day
When you're considering your wedding venue it's not so much a question of 'why should you choose Alexander House?', but more 'Why wouldn't you?' Right from the outset we were made to feel that it was all about us. Katie Ratcliffe gave us a complete tour of the hotel and its facilities. The Hotel's pricing model is completely transparent and was yet still open to flexibility dependant on our specific needs. Katie assisted us with the planning every step of the way. We were wed in the library which was completely transformed by the staff at the hotel. Unfortunately Katie could not be present on the day, but Jenny Irwin stepped in - Katie and Jenny obviously work very closely with each other as Jenny knew every detail of the day. As part of the package the bride and groom have a menu tasting evening prior to the wedding. Our selections were prepared faultlessly on the day and our wedding breakfast was a big hit with all our guests. The staff at the hotel ran the day for us impeccably and were always attentive without being overbearing. As bride and groom you have choice of one of two suites for your wedding night, whichever your choice you will not be disappointed - they are huge! Some of our guests also stayed at the hotel and they all said how lovely their rooms were at breakfast the next day which incidentally was served for us and our guests in a private room away from the rest of the hotel guests. You and your guests also get to use the spa facilities the next day if you so wish. All in all we really couldn't fault the hotel or its staff and we will be back there well before our 1st anniversary.

Incredible venue and incredible service!!
The photos of Alexander House speak for themselves - it really is a beautiful and intimate venue. However, what really sets Alexander House apart is the level of service and the care taken by the events organisation/wider Alexander House team. As soon as we saw the venue and met with our organiser, Katie Ratcliffe, we knew we wanted to book the venue for our wedding and wedding celebrations. Katie was absolutley fantastic throughout the wedding planning process she truely is an asset to Alexandre House!and was always on hand to answer our queries and emails, of which there were many! When the morning of the wedding arrived and I was getting ready before the ceremony at Alexander House I didn''t have to worry about a thing and everything was taken care of without me having to know/worry about a thing. All of our guests have commented on what a lovely day it was and how fantastic the staff and venue were. Alexander really did help us orgnaise a wedding that was all we could have wished for and more. We would highly recommend Alexander House as a venue for your wedding and/or your wedding celebrations!!

Wedding of the Year!!
I'm the groom and my Wedding Day was on Saturday 26th September 2009. It was an amazing day!! We visited many venues before coming to Alexander House and we are pleased we did save Alexander House to last as it gave us plenty to compare it with. We definitely saved the best to last! Alexander House has a long driveway leading to the entrance of the hotel. The hotel itself is very stunning with beautiful grounds. Leading up to our big day our Wedding Planner Katie receives top marks for all her planning and all the organising of our big day. Even down to pre and post Ceremony music! My wife and I clicked with Katie and got on superbly well! Meeting with the Head Chef on the terrace with a glass of Champaign was fantastic way to spend a warm sunny evening discussing our menu options. The menu tasting was excellent, especially the wine tasting with their Sommelier! We visited Alexander House many times leading up to the Wedding showing our parents, Ushers and the Bridesmaids around the Hotel. We were always felt very welcomed when we visited. Even felt like our 2nd home! When the big day arrived, we couldn't have asked for anything more. The weather was fantastic, which just made the hotel and its grounds look amazing. The staff on the day all went the extra mile giving us a superb service and a worry free time! It was all smooth flowing moving the guests from the lawns & terrace to the Ceremony room, back to the lawns & terrace before finally moving to the Shelly & Wakefield for the Wedding Breakfast & Reception. The Ceremony was in the South Lounge which was just perfect! The Wedding Breakfast was fantastic, the food was hot! After the speeches the staff turned the room around and the disco had started! My wife and I highly recommend Alexander House!

We couldn't ask for more
From the outset we both knew that Alexander House would be perfect and it didn't let us down, neither did the staff. We origionally had Amy as our wedding coordinator who was fanstastic. Unfortunately she left and Jennifer Irwin took over and we couldn''t have asked for a better person. She was brilliant and didn't mind my constant e-mails to her constantly asking her questions. She took all the stress away from me and made the Shelly Suite look beautiful. Alexander House itself was a superb venue. The grounds were lovley and we couldn''t have asked for more. The food was fantastic to which eveyone loved. Nothing went worng during the day, with thanks to Jen and Maddie Copper who oversaw the wedding breakfast. I think even if they had we wouldn't have noticed as we were having such a good day. I wish I could do it all again. We would like to thank all the staff who helped made our day so wonderful.
