Testimonials:
'We couldn't recommend the Eccles Hotel enough as a wedding venue. From the very first meeting, Marie and her team were just so accommodating. There was no request too awkward and they even gave us lots of ideas we hadn't thought of ourselves. On the day of the wedding everything ran to perfection, the meal was amazing and our guests are still talking about it now. The venue itself is simply beautiful. Both the views and the interior decor provide a stunning backdrop for photographs. We just wish we could go back and do it all again!'

'We want to say how absolutely outstanding The Eccles Hotel and Spa were for our wedding on the 21st May 2022. From beginning to end it was faultless. From the very first phone call to Marie their wedding coordinator, she was a joy to deal with. Nothing was ever a problem. The reservations manager Sandra was also fantastic. And after all the planning the wedding day came and the hotel made our day just magical. Each of the staff are so professional, helpful and friendly. The food was in the words of our guests "the best they ever had at a wedding". The location is breathtaking and a beautiful backdrop for photos and again our guests were blown away. We wish we could do it all again next weekend. Richard and I give The Eccles Hotel and Spa 5 stars and more for the best day of our lives. Thank you!'

'We got married at the Eccles in April 2022 and we were both thrilled with our day. Marie was excellent in the run up to the wedding, met us for a coffee a few weeks before and made sure all our questions and concerns were answered and sorted. Everything went smoothly on the day and I must say all the staff we encountered were excellent which makes the day so much better. The food at the Eccles from our canapés, dinner and breakfast was outstanding. The Eccles hotel is only going from strength to strength so we would highly recommend this venue for your day.'
