To Keighley, Alex, Sarah and everyone else involved in the day! Thank you so much for making sure the day went without a hitch and all your help with the planning. Everyone had an amazing time and we can’t thank you enough!

D & G

D and I would like to say a very big “Thank you” to everyone who helped to make our Wedding Day such a special occasion for us. We had the most fabulous day on Friday 26th April and couldn’t have hoped for it to have gone any better. The staff on duty that day did a wonderful job and ensured that everything ran smoothly and on time, so please say a big thank you to them. Maison Talbooth is a beautiful venue for a wedding and in such a pretty location. It’s lovely to have the pool house to adjourn to as well, as it gives another dimension to the proceedings. The walk down through the grounds is nice too. Our guests loved their rooms and it was so nice that they were all different and very individual as well as being very spacious. The wedding meal was very nice and we were happy with our choices. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Maison Talbooth for a wedding and were so pleased that we had ours there.

D & S

Just want to say a huge thank you for hosting our wedding. Everything was absolutely perfect and the staff were all fabulous!! Please pass our thanks to all the staff and Mariann (the house manager) who were working last weekend, all incredibly helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. We really had the best day ever!!

Mr & Mrs H

We just wanted to drop you an email to say we had such a wonderful day on Sunday. It was just perfect and the staff worked so hard during the day to make everything seamless. Idle Waters was so lovely too and worked perfectly for getting ready in the morning. Thank you for all your help organising and please pass on our thank you to the staff. The lady who managed the day was just amazing.

C & M

Now that our wedding is over we just had to send you an email to thank everyone at the Maison Talbooth for making our day just perfect. From start to finish we had a fantastic time and this was helped by all the amazing staff at the hotel. We must make mention of Luca, Shannon, Dave and Danielle who were all polite, friendly and courteous throughout the day and all added to the occasion. We would also like to give a special thank you to Mariann who was simply outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and she helped put us all at ease before the ceremony. All our guests enjoyed the day and everyone was very impressed with the venue with its lovely pool area and grounds and outstanding bedrooms, our day could not have been more perfect. Please pass on our thanks to everyone at the Maison Talbooth. We will never forget the day, the great venue and the wonderful staff.
