Your Private Show Round
Our Owner, Mrs. Alison Morbey will meet you on your initial show round of The Old Hall Ely. Mrs M will show you the house and explain not only the history of the house and how special we are but also how we transform the home to create each of our couples’ perfect day. Besides, we think the best way to experience our home is in person.
“From the moment we stepped inside The Old Hall I had ‘that feeling’ and within minutes we knew it was the venue for our special day.
I visited 16 venues before viewing The Old Hall, and what sets the venue apart from the others was the customer service, the quality of the venue in terms of finish and of course the beautiful setting. However it’s the customer service from that first visit through to the end of our wedding day which was outstanding. You made us feel that our wedding was just as important to you too, all our requests were answered and on the day the team were incredible.“
From the beginning to the end of the process, the staff could not have been helpful enough, they all truly went above and beyond.
All of our guests thought that the attention to detail and service was outstanding! It’s hard to put into words just how lovely everything was!
The only bad part was that it had to end! We really are in an Old Hall bubble – we cannot decide what was our favourite part – we enjoyed EVERYTHING.
Nothing was too much trouble. Many people have told us it was the best wedding that they had ever been to.
From the word go you were so organised and it was such a stress free experience. We thought the wedding day went perfectly.
Nothing was too big of an ask. The event team helped us so much throughout the day – we were able to completely relax and enjoy our day.
Exclusively Yours
When we say The Old Hall is ‘exclusive use’, we really mean it: the house and grounds are entirely yours for the day and night, thanks to our luxurious Honeymoon Suite and guest bedrooms.
