Review by Stephanie & James

Everything was perfect, our guests and we were absolutely delighted by the service, the attention to details, and the food was delicious. Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how amazing everything was. We are extremely happy about the Metropole Hotel, from the first time I met Chloe I knew that was the right place for us.

Review by Elisa and Fabrizio

We want to thank you so much for everything you have done for us to make the day extra special , it was perfect from start to finish and we are so grateful for you and your team. We knew we chose the right hotel from the minute we step foot into the metropole few months ago. You’ve made everything so easy for and we had the perfect wedding. Everyone enjoyed it , the food is all everyone talked about and just how lovely everything was. The staff was so so lovely and helpful, we really appreciate everything they did for us on the day.

We loved every moment of it and so sad that it’s all over now , wish we could live it all over again!

Review by Taran

From start to finish, the experience at the Metropole was nothing short of perfection. Every single member of staff made us feel so welcome, not just on the day itself, but throughout the entire lead-up to the wedding. From our tasting with the lovely Fabien to the absolute princess treatment we received from Emily, everything felt so special.

And then there’s Janice — the woman behind the magic. Honestly, she made our lives so easy. Her true specialty is going above and beyond to give couples a completely stress-free day, and she did exactly that for us. She worked so quietly in the background making sure every detail was perfect, right down to finding me socks and flats so I could dance the night away in comfort!

The Metropole is such an iconic venue, and the incredible staff are exactly why it continues to deserve that reputation.

We can never thank you all enough for bringing our dream wedding to life. It was everything we hoped for and more.
