How glad we are to have booked The Coniston for our wedding!

We had our final appointment with Jess, and we clicked straight away with her. She was so professional but personable, and that is very important to us, the personable aspect! Felt like I had known her for so much longer! She popped …

down to see us before we entered the wedding breakfast room, which was so lovely of her.

ALL the staff on the day were amazing and so so polite, even the staff packing down at 1:30 am wished us goodnight. Not one thing went wrong on our special day, the setting is just unbelievable. Such a hidden gem is the Coniston, and our guests enjoyed every minute of the venue.

A huge thank you goes to Jen, who looked after us on the day. What a woman! Again, so professional, knows her job inside out, but is so fun and we had such a giggle with her! I was sooo glad she was with us on the day, such a calming influence.

We wish we could do it all again, such a perfect day, and we cannot thank everyone at The Coniston enough.

We will be back for lunches and stays for sure! It’s our new favourite place to be.

Lots of love,
The Coates’ xxx

A late but very deserving review now I am coming out of my wedding bubble and fully able to look back on our unbelievable wedding day!
Everything about our wedding day/weekend here was incredible. Many of us stayed over the night before and dined in mclouds- STUNNING! We had drinks on the terrace …

and it was lovely!
The wedding day how ever was something else, the entire Coniston team was just superb. They catered to our ever single need!! MELANIE ! omg this lady was amazing, but the entire staffing team- wow, actually cannot get over how much they did for us, everything was perfect. The wedding meal was just beautiful, all staff were amazing, rooms were spotless and everyone was super helpful and friendly.
Us and all of our guests travelled over 2 hours to this outstanding venue, it was definitely worth it. People are still raving about our wedding here, many planning to return to the venue as they stated it was “the most beautiful place” and the best wedding they had ever attended. No one could believe the quality of the wedding breakfast, even Gordon Ramsey couldn’t touch it.
We married by the lake, which was like something out of a fairytale- our pictures are to die for.
Our entire weekend was flawless, forever thankful to the Coniston team for giving us the best day ever!
We plan to return every year over our anniversary, thank you so much xxx the Mullens xxx

Where to start! Myself and my husband would like to thank all the team at the Coniston for making our wedding day perfect!

The day we came to visit the Coniston to view it, I burst into tears. I knew immediately this was the place I wanted to get married. From that initial meeting to the wedding …

day and after the staff were all lovely.

We started the week of our wedding checking into Fogga cottage. The accommodation was lovely, a large cottage with a hot tub. We loved having the lead up to the wedding at the Coniston, as the countdown to our big day was on. The cottage provided a home-from-home experience, and spending the night in the hot tub under the stars and watching all the fireworks on bonfire night was beautiful. The wedding team stayed in communication with us throughout the week, reassuring us when needed and making sure we knew what was happening.

The wedding day ran exactly as we had wished. The venue was perfect, the staff were amazing and all our guests had the best day. The food was incredible!

With a few extra nights at the Coniston after the wedding we used the spa facilities and had a massage which was perfect.

Again we would like to say a huge thank you to all the team at Coniston and we are excited to come back yearly for our anniversary.

From the start of our relationship with Coniston we were thoroughly impressed.
We initially met Emily at the venue for a walk around and to discuss the process, she was very helpful, very organised, and shared in our excitement. Throughout the process, we dealt with several members of the (old and …

new) wedding team and everyone was brilliant.
Emma, Mel, Jen, Katie, Issabelle and many others did such an incredible job for our wedding and we are so grateful.

The team did a great job of setting up the rooms for us with the decorations we had arranged and were able to make the last-minute changes we had to request on the morning of. They took the stress out of everything.

The ceremony room, orangery and wedding breakfast room are all lovely (even before the decorations).

Coniston is a beautiful venue with stunning views from all areas of the estate. We really couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque venue and a better wedding team to host the best day of our lives.

My wife and I, along with all our guests had a wonderful day and night followed by a lovely morning at Coniston Hotel.

Also worth noting that the DJ Coniston use was great. Mitch was pleasant to deal with and really easy to get on with and did a great job in the evening.

We would strongly recommend Coniston to anyone wanting to get married, host a celebration or even just go for a stay.

We’re looking forward to our next visit and our first anniversary where we will be coming back for sure.

Thanks again!

We want to thank the wedding team and reception staff for being so lovely on our wedding day, we felt like the day went exactly how we wanted it to go. The team must have communicated well with other vendors because it was visually how we dreamt it to be. Thank you for hosting the best day of our …

lives.
