I couldn’t fault our day in anyway.

We got married on Wednesday 19th December and had our reception in the Campsie Suite. On the whole build up to the wedding Kimberly and staff in the hotel were amazing. They were all very supportive and accommodating to ensure our day was perfect. They were very attentive to not only the bride and groom but to all our guests! We honestly can’t thank them enough for everything they have done. I couldn’t fault our day in anyway. The food was beautiful and the set up was amazing. In all honesty my husband said “I would get married here all over again because Kimberly has been fantastic”!

Best day ever!

We had our wedding here on 21/04/2018. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The staff were incredible, so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The food was 100% absolutely delicious, and very reasonably priced. The hotel itself is tastefully decorated and very welcoming. Special mention to Kimberly who went above and beyond for us, John who made sure everything ran smoothly during the day, and Jill who looked after us in the wee hours! Thanks for making our day perfect!

Best in the North West

My new husband and I had our wedding reception in this hotel recently. The staff could not have been any more accommodating. The premises are all very clean. Many of our family members stayed in the hotel too. The food was delicious, the rooms were basic but perfect, the bridal suite could be doing with a little updating but as a whole very pretty. We were impressed by both Kimberly and Emmet's outstanding service and attention. We would highly recommend this hotel for a stay, a meal and definitely a wedding.

Magical and Perfect

The White Horse Hotel made our wedding day magical and perfect. Kimberly (the wedding coordinator) was fantastic from the first day we met her to discuss our wedding plans until the end of our day. Planning a wedding is daunting, there is so much to think about. Kimberly really helped us break things down and understand what was important to us. We were able to adjust our package to suit us which wasn't a problem for the hotel to accommodate. The hotel made the run up to our wedding effortless. My husband and I wanted to do some aspects ourselves such as a sweetie cart and photo booth. I was worried about the logistics of setting these things up but yet again it wasn't a problem the hotel took care of everything. When I first saw the ballroom on our wedding day it took my breath away, it was so beautiful. Our guests had a great day they advised that the staff were very friendly and accommodating. My husband and I were made to feel very special we cannot thank The White Horse Hotel enough for all the hard work they put in to making our wedding day as special as it was. I wish I could do it all over again!

We can't recommend the White Horse Hotel highly enough!

Wonderful wedding reception venue We had a wedding reception at the White Horse Hotel and received excellent, attentive service from our very first visit to the hotel. Kimberly was warm and friendly and keen to ensure everything was just as we wanted it. Our queries were answered so promptly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The food was excellent and all staff were approachable and helpful. The room we stayed in was wonderful and so was the breakfast the next day. Thank you to everyone there. We can't recommend the White Horse Hotel highly enough!

A Special Day to Remember

A special Day to remember such was the Professional & Helpful Service by the entire staff of the White Horse Hotel, The location was perfect with large car park for our many far travelling guests. The wedding reception was held in the Willsboro Suite and it was just the perfect venue for the wedding, The Bar was adjoining the Willsboro suite which works perfect for a wedding reception, and adjoining that was a large quieter area at the Hotels Lobby with Arm chairs and coffee tables which was also just perfect for our guests who wanted a quiet drink and a chat with old friends & family. Some of our guests who had travelled from far away, booked approximately 25 Rooms in the Hotel and all were very pleased and satisfied with their rooms which were clean spacious and comfortable. Our guests throughout the Wedding day reception and then the evening reception totalled 160, our 4 course Dinner meal : Excellent ! ( I had, Caesar Salad - Turkey & Ham & Stuffing potatoes & 3 veg - Trio of desserts - Tea & Coffee , our evening reception buffet : Excellent ! ( chicken tenders, potato chips cocktail sausages sandwiches tea & Coffee and cake ) Breakfast in the morning : Excellent ! ( every option you can think on, except kippers - Try the Pancake machine the kids will love it ). I would recommend the Best Western Plus White Horse Hotel as being a perfect venue for a Family Wedding. Simply tell their professional management team your wedding package requirements and let them deliver the perfect wedding as they have done for my Family & Friends. A High 5 to one and all who made our Wedding Function & Stay such a successful and pleasurable occasion ! !

Truly Fabulous Wedding Day at The White Horse Hotel

Truly Fabulous Wedding Day at The White Horse Hotel My beautiful wife and I, Susan, would like to say that we had the most wondrous day at this hotel. From the very first moment that we met Kimberley, the events planner, we were in safe hands. Everything we wanted came to fruition. The ceremony in the Eglinton Suite, the intimate meal in the Garden Suite before the big bash itself in the Willsboro. The music, the atmosphere, the food were all part of this fabulous day. We could not recommend this venue any more. It was the perfect backdrop for our perfect day. Thank you.

White Horse was perfect for our wedding

'We wanted to have our wedding reception local so visited some of the other venues in the City but after attending the wedding fayre and initially meeting with Emma we knew the White Horse was perfect for our wedding. First impressions count and the staff at the White Horse were the most friendly, helpful and welcoming. When we chose our package (excellent vendors included) Emma gave us complimentary supplements and even offered us lunch in the restaurant on the house (a nice touch!). Kimberly was such a great help always checking in to make sure things were ok and that everything was coming together nicely. We'd have been lost without Kimberly as she basically sorted everything for us and it took a weight off our shoulders. The day itself was fantastic! The staff looked after us all until the wee hours. The food was amazing and the plates were cleared. We hadn't one complaint from any guests and everyone enjoyed themselves. We would, without hesitation, recommend the White Horse to any future bride and groom!'
