My husband and I got married at Dunston Hall in May this year. Every single person along the way from planning the wedding to the actual day was absolutely incredible! The staff went above and beyond to make our day perfect! I definitely recommend not only staying at Dunston Hall since it's a beautiful hotel, but to trust them with important events like weddings, anniversaries and anything else you want to celebrate! Thank you again Dunston Hall for an absolutely amazing wedding day!My husband and I got married at Dunston Hall in May this year.

Lovely stress free dayLovely stress free day
We had an amazing wedding day and want to thank Abbey for all her help over the past few months. When we were looking at venues we came into contact with a lot of wedding planners and you were by far the most professional, organised and friendly one we met, which was one of the many reasons we chose to get married at Dunston Hall. Kirsten was also great on the day, we had a lovely stress free day.We had an amazing wedding day and want to thank Abbey for all her help over the past few months.

Wonderful dayWonderful day
I can not thank Abbey, Zara and everyone at Dunston Hall for a wonderful day. Everything went to plan and worked exactly as we had hoped. This certainly could not have happened without Abbey's hard work and attention to detail. She most definitely took a lot of the stress away and you were always cheerful and a pleasure to talk to. Thank you. The food was as good as we had hoped and I know everyone thought it was delicious I certainly would not hesitate to recommend you or Dunston Hall to anyone else planning an event.I can not thank Abbey, Zara and everyone at Dunston Hall for a wonderful day.

A memory we will cherish forever A memory we will cherish forever
From the first day we met Abbey, to choosing our reception rooms and the creating the perfect package/menu/room layouts and timings. We want to thank her, she is an amazing person. Without her help we would have been stressed and way out of our depth. She listened to our every wish and desire, gave us ideas that we could only have imagined. Everyone of our guests had such an amazing time and have all been raving about how beautiful Dunston Hall is. Many have said its the best wedding they have been to. Kirsten and her team on the day were everything we didn't know we needed. She was a pleasure, gave exceptional service and special attention to every second. Thank you for making our special day go without a hitch and turn into a memory we will cherish forever. Any bride and groom will be incredibly fortunate to be blessed with you all overseeing everything for them and making sure every second is a beautiful moment that will live forever.From the first day we met Abbey, to choosing our reception rooms and the creating the perfect package/menu/room layouts and timings.
