“We had our wedding at the Batesford Hotel on the 03.03.2020 and we are so happy we made that choice. It was the best venue. Great food and simply amazing space for a beautiful wedding. As soon as we saw the river and that setting we fell in love. That’s the spot where we got registered, much better than any room in the city. We were so happy to have everything in one place, made life easier for all our guests and us. We are simply thrilled for the venue. Can’t thank the batesford team enough for organising our amazing day.” – Nina Nikolovska
