Myself and my wife Sarah had our wedding at the Athenaeum House Hotel in April 2017. Weddings can be stressful things but the staff are complete professionals when it comes to weddings. The best thing we did was generally use the suppliers that the hotel recommends. From the solemiser to flowers they were all excellent and in sync with one and other. The whole event went off without a hitch and I felt throughout the process that if something had cropped up it would be well in hand. There was no stress or hassle with anything even with lots of people coming and going.
We were there for three days in total and a couple of things stand out. Firstly is how consistently excellent the food is. We had everything from breakfasts, the wedding dinner, a BBQ, rehearsal dinner and light lunches. At no point did the standards drop or did anybody get a bad meal. Secondly we really appreciated effectively having the place to ourselves and our family for most of the weekend. You don't get that in a bigger hotel or a venue that you have only a set time there but we largely had the run of the place for the Friday night, Saturday and Sunday - it was completly private on the Saturday. Stan and the team make the whole experience feel like you are in a home from home (albeit a much larger home).
We were exceptionally lucky the day of our wedding to have really good weather and we moved the ceremony outside - again no problem. The day itself was pheromoneal with people drinking up on the terrace for the afternoon, the dining room set up for 100 and a separate room for the band. I think the best compliment that any of our guests could pay the Athenaeum is that they would go back themselves for a weekend away, lots of people said they would be doing this soon and the place is a hidden gem.
If you're looking to take over a place for the weekend, have a great party and do something a bit out of the ordinary the Athenaeum is the place to go. We had the best day of our lives with Stan & his team and they had a big part in making it such a great day. We can't wait to go back.

Very relaxed atmosphere, but professional in all aspects of the planning and execution.

Extremely professional and friends staff, we couldn't have asked more of them! Planners went into a huge effort to create the most perfect day for us. As for the setting...we had a summer with a ceremony under the arch, so perfect! Highly recommend it if you are looking for somewhere different and for a stress-free experience.
