Thank you Christine, & your team, for making our wedding day truly memorable, the day was absolutely flawless, ran like clockwork & everyone had a fabulous time.
Right from the start Poets House catered to our every need & personalised the day for us, unlike other wedding venues Poets House (Christine) arranged everything the way we wanted it, with no set 'packages' to choose from.
The food, wine, garden, staff, table decorations, drinks and canapes looked & tasted fabulous, the flow of the day, with the use of the garden, couldn’t have been better.
Christine & her team liaised with our photographer (Chris Boland) and our florist (Wild Clover) all I had to do as, the bride, was turn up & say 'I do'!!
Fabulous location, fabulous food & drinks to choose from, and fabulous staff - I can't praise them enough!

My partner Sarah and I had our wedding reception here in June 2023. Christine and the team were brilliant in supporting our celebration. The venue was also very accessible for my mum who uses an electric wheelchair.
10/10 service. Thank you.

My partner and I got married at poets house Ely earlier this year, the whole team were so professional and the day went so well, thanks to all their hard work. The location is beautiful, I would highly recommend this venue for weddings and special occasions.

We held our amazing wedding at Poets House on Friday 26th May 2023. From booking we received a personal and professional service with fantastic attention to detail that made our day so perfect. Communication was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. The Writing room was fantastic holding the ceremony, wedding breakfast and the evening celebration in this versatile space. The food was excellent and plentiful - catering for all needs. The bedrooms were fabulous, spacious and extremely comfortable (I managed to sleep the night before as the bed was so good).
Christine and her team made the whole day, both of us and all our guests feel so special, with each and every member of staff giving 110%
We would highly recommend Poets House to anyone and will be sharing our positive experience widely. A huge thank you
Lucy & David
We wanted to 'officially' email you with our sincere gratitude to you and the whole team for everything on our wedding weekend! You really took the time to get to know us as a couple and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We had so many family members and friends commenting on the quality of the food, the kindness and attentiveness of the staff and the overall ambience of Poets House. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Patrick and I would like to say how very much we appreciated all that you did to make our wedding celebration such a success. All of our guests commented how much they enjoyed the day. You and the entire Poets House team were very professional and attentive. We particularly appreciated your attention to detail on the design of our table plan, place settings etc.
Thank you again

We were married on the 6th June this year and we choose Poets House as the venue from the time we had the first meeting to the time we got married everything was perfect they could not do enough for us we had a couple of issues what arouse but I have to say the management team handled these very well and it did not ruin the day.
The food we had was amazing and we were catered for very well. We couldn't stay the night of the wedding but we were given a voucher to come back and say and we are very much looking forward to it.
The staff of the poet's house was amazing on the day we got married nothing was to much trouble for them and Christine the manager is amazing at what she does.

Following the wedding of Emma and Luke at the Poets House Hotel on 9th September, I'm writing to thank you and all your colleagues for providing the perfect venue for the occasion. It was a wonderful day and couldn't have gone better. Everyone involved at the Poets House Hotel was friendly, polite and efficient from the morning of the wedding right through to guests departing on the Sunday morning. On a personal note, I know that Emma and Luke very much appreciated your calm and reassuring support both beforehand and on the day. A special mention to thank Sarah for her help too, including getting the chairs and tables decorated. The food was delicious, and the waiting and bar staff were great.
Hotel Guest
