The Old Deanery

Beautiful setting and amazing restaurant downstairs. I truly enjoyed my solo trip to Ripon and this hotel in particular.

The Old Deanery is reestablishing itself as a destination for Weddings and other events,it is run by a couple who are completely dedicated, I understand the music sought after Chris White Jazz Trio are among the recommended bands for Wedding Receptions.

We so enjoyed our party with you, thank you so much, all the guests have said how fab it was and have been very complimentary about everything.

Thank you so much for everything you did to make our day so special. I really did feel that I didn't have to worry about a single thing, from the minute we booked, through all the planning conversations, emails and meetings right up to seeing you welcome us back from the ceremony to have dinner. The food was as good as we knew it would be, and I still can't put into words how beautiful the dining room looked. I was completely blown away by how well you had understood us and how much the room felt exactly like we wanted it to. Thank you so so much - if we could do it all again we would!

From our first visit we knew we had found a special venue, and as our planning progressed we realised we were blessed with a fantastic wedding coordinator. Keri is an absolute professional, who kept us at ease throughout and placated our many many requests effortlessly. On top of this, she was able to advise us on specifics and was brilliant on the day. From our arrival, to the removal of our circus of a wedding four days later, he could not do enough to help. This was again echoed through the other members of the team, who were a credit to the Old Deanery. I could not write this without making a special mention to the chef Lee, who created a fantastic bespoke wedding menu which met our needs perfectly. He was imaginative and open to suggestions, which led to a sharing style meal which we have received endless positive feedback about. All in all, I could not asked for a more fantastic team of people, in a more beautiful venue, to have helped us celebrate our wedding.

Date of Wedding - 26 May 2018 The Old Deanery delivered outstanding customer service, from the moment we first met with them to discuss the space as a potential venue. Our experience with all members of staff was utterly faultless, in both the lead up to our wedding, the day itself and throughout the rest of the time we and our guests stayed at The Old Deanery. No ask was too much effort for the staff at The Old Deanery; the Chef worked with us to fine tune our menu so it was exactly as we wanted it. Keri, our wedding planner, was so incredibly thoughtful and went over and above to ensure the whole day ran smoothly. We were so touched at all the additional effort the staff at The Old Deanery went to - from setting up and decorating the venue, to ensuring we had a chance to try the canapés on the day when we were busily chatting with our guests! At the end of the night we were even delivered with ice cold bottles of water to enjoy with the bacon sandwiches they’d held back for us. Every member of staff at The Old Deanery was polite, generous and thoughtful and so many of our guests commented on how the staff at The Old Deanery were the best staff they’d ever met at a wedding! Our wedding was perfect, all because of the magnificent staff at The Old Deanery, I couldn’t praise them any higher for their customer service.? Thank you to everyone at The Old Deanery, you are all wonderful!

You were amazing throughout the whole planning process and the final day itself. There is nothing we would change about the day and we’re so grateful to you and the staff. ? Thank you so much for so many amazing memories.

Thank you so much for your help and guidance over these last few months. It’s been so much easier knowing you have things taken care of! We know this was the perfect venue for us as soon as we visited. Thanks for making it a special day for us.

Dear Keri and all the team at The Old Deanery. Thank you very much for making our wedding day so special. We have been so impressed with how smoothly and calmly everything was done. Nothing was too much trouble and every single member of staff we met was friendly and extremely helpful. All our family and friends had a wonderful day and that’s thanks to you.

To all the team at The Old Deanery. Thank you all for everything you have done to help make our wedding the most special day. We will be back!
