Thanks to all the staff that provided outstanding service all throughout our day. Michael was just unbelievable all day, all the guests where saying how good he was always there to help. I was at a lot of weddings over the years and have never experienced such help and guidance from anywhere else he was just phenomenal. The food was the best wedding food we ever had. All our guests said it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. Would highly recommend to anyone to book their wedding here. Great experience.

The Hodson Bay is just the perfect venue. We had many changes and uncertainty due to Covid 19 & the staff couldn't have done enough to put our minds at ease. The venue itself was decorated beautifully, it was warm, cosy & the quality of food was fabulous. Everything went so smoothly & we felt very safe. We couldn't recommend The Hodson Bay highly enough. Many thanks once again for all you did.

I just wanted to express our sincere thanks to yourself and the team in the Hodson Bay Hotel for hosting us and our guests on what was truly fantastic wedding day. We honestly can’t say enough about the level of organisation, engagement and customer service across the board. Everyone made us feel special throughout the weekend and nothing was too much trouble for you. Thanks again for everything.
