From start to finish it ran smooth as silk

Had my whole wedding here yesterday. Couldn't recommend Claire and Richard enough! From start to finish it ran smooth as silk. No long waits and the stress was taken from me by them. I have ocd and I'm hard to please but absolutely no complaints here. Had THE best day. The staff can't do enough and the bridal room is gorgeous. Thank you Smokies!!

Claire and the wedding team were faultless

Just got married at smokies. Claire and the wedding team were faultless. Couldn’t have asked for more. Very attentive and nothing was too much trouble for them. The meal and the buffet were amazing. The rooms were large and the bed was so comfortable. Would highly recommended this to anyone

We had the most perfect wedding day and venue!!!

Firstly I just want to say how beautiful our room was at the holiday inn, we stayed there the wedding night & it was beautiful & spacious, it literally had everything we needed & could have wanted.
It was clean, coffee machine, fridge, hairdryer, towels, everything you need!

We had our wedding on the 29.03.2024 at smokies park and I’m totally blown away.
With only around 8 months of planning - it felt like a lifetime of waiting but my god we had the most perfect wedding day and venue!!!

I could not recommend this place enough to celebrate your special day.

What an amazing venue for a wedding! We booked our wedding just over 2 years ago, and finally had our big day yesterday. The staff are so kind, caring and helpful. Special mention to Clare (our amazing wedding planner), Jamie (the best wedding co-ordinator), and Miguel (the best barman in Manchester)! They all went above and beyond to make our day the most special experience. Nothing was too much trouble, and everything went so smoothly.
