Wedding Review
We got married in the Tithe Barn in November 2024. The food was incredible, reasonably priced wedding package and the team were really friendly and helpful. They made our special day run smoothly and were really accommodating. Thank you so much!

Wonderful Wedding
We got married in the Malthouse and had a brilliant experience. The venue itself is beautiful inside and out. The food was great, all our guests enjoyed it. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. Leah, the wedding coordinator, did an excellent job and made sure everything went smoothly. A special mention to Dominic who was so helpful throughout the entire day. I'd also like to mention the beautiful gardens and how well the lawn was kept.

Wedding at The Olde Bell
I wanted to say a huge thank you for helping us organise our wedding day and for putting up with our million and one questions! You made the lead up to our wedding that much easier, so thank you. I also wanted to say a massive thank you to Dominic, Lucy and Matt. They made our day absolutely brilliant, and it was noted by our guests too. Although I wasn’t feeling well and didn’t enjoy the food as much as I normally would, my guests all thought the food was brilliant. So, thank you all so much!

Our weekend and wedding at the olde bell
We had our wedding at the olde bell this weekend and from the moment we arrived on Friday to when we left on Sunday we had a great experience and such an amazing wedding. The wedding itself was organised and run to perfection. Vincent was on hand for everything and made sure the whole day ran smoothly, he was absolutely great and so thankful to have had him make our day so special. I’d also like to thank Leah for all the behind the scenes organising!

Leah, we'd both like to thank yourself and the staff at the olde Bell for helping to make our wedding such a good day. Vincent truely made the day run like clockwork and we genuinely feel that it was entirely down to him that our wedding was so nice. So, once again, thankyou to you and the old Bell for a memorable day and please convey our great appreciation to Vincent who is an absolute gem.

Excellent characterful wedding venue located in the beautiful village of Hurley, in Berkshire. Couples can exchange vows in the Malt House, or the 16th-century Tithe Barn, where the low light will push your photographer's camera to its limit. On the plus side, it has a great atmosphere. As well as the venue itself, there are other pretty locations for photos either in the village or a short stroll away by the river. Lots of parking onsite and having a days celebration all at a single location.

A perfect, intimate wedding
We booked the Norman room for our small wedding reception. On arrival, the table was beautifully laid and our Prosecco was served by Vincent, our attentive host. The meal was great and, as the sun was shining. Our bedroom was lovely with a personalised congratulations card and bed strewn with rose petals. The bathroom was spotlessly clean and modern. The room overlooked the courtyard and garden. Perfect. Many thanks to Leah, the wedding coordinator, and all the friendly staff. We will be back
