to name but a few quotes and accolades
Now please don't think of us as arrogant. I mean, if we don't mention it, who will?
So, at The White Hart we help you to transform your dreams and ideas into reality. When the Marriage Act was altered in 1996 (on April Fool's day: a nice touch, we thought) couples wanting to get married were able to do so for the first time in a venue other than a church or registry office. We were one of the first inns to be granted a licence to hold civil wedding ceremonies, and have worked incredibly hard ever since to ensure that every wedding day is individually organised down to the smallest detail.
We sit down with you to prepare a detailed programme and instructions sheet for the day so that everybody knows who is doing what and when: you get a copy too, so that you are always in control. At the White Hart there is always someone at your shoulder; to answer queries, offer advice, receive instructions and help however they can, whatever the problem. In an emergency we cope. We take the trouble so that you can relax and enjoy the whole day.
A number of the inn's reception rooms are licensed for civil wedding ceremonies. The beamed Library lends a fabulous air of dignity to the proceedings, but some couples prefer to use the lighter contemporary Restaurant. The spectacular Oak Room opened in May 2005 will seat up to 160 people.
The grounds have the backdrop of the stunning Chew Valley with the Saddleworth moors making a wonderful setting for your wedding photographs. In our contacts list you will find the best local photographers: they all come highly recommended by previous clients. While you are busy with the photographer, your guests will be enjoying their drinks in the reception rooms, or outside on the lawn.
The White Hart has established a great reputation for excellence and reliability when it comes to serving fine cuisine and good, sensibly priced wines. All our catering is done 'in house', but we will happily work alongside professional outside caterers if Kosher or ethnic food is required.
It's your big day: we take the trouble so you just enjoy yourselves!
