Wow! Where do we start with our wedding of dreams!! We booked Smokies Park in August 2023 and the rest is history. Clare was our main point of contact throughout the planning of our day and she was truly incredible and nothing was too much of a big ask for her. She was amazing throughout and we cannot thank her enough for her time, emails & meetings we had planning & putting our mind at ease. The day of the wedding ran as smooth as smooth could be with Clare, Jamie & Richard, they are the wedding dream team and without them our wedding wouldn't have been so perfect. The dream team always made sure there wasn't a moment we didn't have a drink in hand, which was the icing on the cake. From the start of the day till the moment the music finished it was pure bliss and we wouldn't change one thing about the whole day. (Apart from one of our guests taking our saved slices of wedding cake) The ceremony, wedding breakfast and the evening were beautiful with all of our guests commenting on how amazing the room looked each time it was changed around. We're both absolutely gutted the planning and day is over, because Clare became part of the family with how down to earth she is. We wish we could do it all over again! Mr & Mrs Jones

Our Wedding at Smokies Park was the most perfect day we could have asked for. Above all else we want to thank Clare so much for everything she has done for us. When looking into venues and where to get married, not only did we not really know what we were doing (I mean no one does when they get married) but being an LGBT couple also, we were made to feel so welcome, as still there is an air of uncertainty when going into these things. Not only did Clare make us feel welcome but she guided us through every step of the way. Also, the fact she has a husband from the Canaries also, she made that connection with us straight away. But yes, a major shout out to Clare, especially from being there from Day 1 to our Wedding Day. The actual Day was amazing and literally nothing went wrong, Clare, Jamie, Nikki and Richard were like the dream team that day. I stayed the night before so I was there first thing in the morning and I saw members of the team and they were really friendly and happy to see me and made a special effort to ensure I was okay. As the day progressed, Clare and Richard were the ones we saw the most. Clare shone during the ceremony, as we had a specific set up where Juan would walk in first with his group and then myself second and that was spot on and went perfectly. Richard then was an absolute star during the Wedding Breakfast, not only did he make sure we were taken care of, but he was constantly back and forth ensuring everything was spot on. As soon as anything started to deviate off the schedule he was there informing us but the most important thing was, that the guests were happy and they were. We could see Jamie in the back coordinating the efforts in the kitchen. Honestly truly a dream team. It's sad now that it's all over, but to anyone that is reading this, I really want to express how much gratitude we have for the team. The most special day of our lives was made special by this team at Smokies and anyone who is considering this place should do!

If you're looking for a wedding venue that is stress-free, beautifully run, and has an incredible team behind it, Smokies Park is the place to book. We couldn’t have wished for a better day – thank you for making it so special! Highly recommended! Mr and Mrs Ashworth

We would definitely recommend Smokies Park to anybody thinking of getting married here. From the wedding breakfast to the evening buffet the food was of a high standard along with the service. Myself and some of the bridal party stayed the night before and the room was huge with more than enough room to get ready in the morning of the wedding. The bridal suite was also lovely. Again we would like to say a huge thank you to Clare and the team. Mr and Mrs Taylor

From the moment we viewed Smokies Park as a potential wedding venue we were really impressed. Clare was so supportive and helpful in ensuring our wedding plans went smoothly and constantly kept us updated via regular meetings. Smokies ensured everything was clearly covered and nothing was overlooked. They made us aware of all the timings and the various steps the day would take. They took all the worry and concern away from us so we could fully concentrate on other parts of our wedding. Our wedding day was so memorable. Everything went perfectly, all down to the amazing planning of the team at Smokies. Clare, Mo, Richard & Miguel were so helpful and attentive. The food for both our Wedding breakfast and evening buffet was amazing. The DJ who was part of the wedding package was brilliant and played nearly all the songs we listed. The bridal suite was amazing and wonderful for the bride to stay the night before the wedding. We also received wonderful feedback from our guests, many who stayed over for the evening. We would highly recommend Smokies Park for any other couples planning their special day.

Leading up to the big day, Clare was always available to answer any questions or arrange meetings, which really put our minds at ease. On the day itself, everything ran smoothly and as stress-free as possible. When we requested some extra high chairs for the tables, they were brought swiftly. Even when one of the chosen drinks at the bar wasn’t available, it was sorted out very quickly when we asked. Other than those minor issues, everything went absolutely perfectly. I can't thank Clare and the team enough!

Nothing was too much trouble, making the whole process of planning our big day special in every way. The actual day of the wedding was extra special; Jamie and Richard went above and beyond to ensure our guests enjoyed our day, from greeting guests to making sure everywhere was spotless. Nothing was too much trouble, so a very big thank you to them. My husband was over the moon with his thrown for the day. Made him feel like a king for the day... All our guests had a fabulous time and have all commented on what a wonderful day it was... Once again, a very big thank you to Claire, Jamie, and the whole team for taking such care of every aspect of our special day.

Clare was amazing with us. From the moment we booked the wedding to the end, she made sure we had everything planned out perfectly and kept in touch through the two years. We couldn’t have asked for more from Clare. Clare made our day go as perfectly as it could have done.

Special mention to Clare (our amazing wedding planner), Jamie (the best wedding coordinator), and Miguel (the best barman in Manchester)! They all went above and beyond to make our day the most special experience. Nothing was too much trouble, and everything went so smoothly (and considering there was another wedding on the same day, we were so impressed with how organized everything was). Everyone commented on how nice everything was, from the decor to the food, and how attentive the staff were. Even when we visited before the big day with family, Jamie & Clare took time out of their busy days to introduce themselves and made our family feel so welcome. They even gave us our first wedding card, which was a nice personal touch. I could not recommend this place enough to celebrate your special day.

I'd like to thank Smokies for hosting our wedding, from the planning to the event I can not fault a thing. Firstly I'd like to thank Leanne, Leanne went above and beyond for me, she took calls and dealt with messages even when she was out of the office as she knows I'm a complete worrier... Leanne ensured things rolled into place just as I asked (even if I mithered her) and made things happen as I requested. The guys who looked after us on the day and evening what can I say..their professional care and approach towards myself, my husband and my guest was spot on I could not fault them at all, Mo - I'd like to thank you for looking after me the evening before my wedding and calming nerves and explaining how the events of the day were going to unfold. Collin absolutely starred from start to finish and directed everything on our wedding day, he just was not fazed at all and we can. not thank him enough always had a smile too.... Jamie took over later and yet again on young man who directed everything to the end of the night, professional with a smile again. Lastly, I'd like to thank Miguel who made the cocktails..you made my night and they were perfect, thank you again for making one of my wedding wishes perfect... I could not have asked for a better wedding anywhere it was beyond perfect for me and I'm hard to please. The food was out of this world and people actually have written it is the best wedding meal they have ever eaten at a wedding, so compliments to the chef..... so again I highly recommend Smokies if you're looking for somewhere to host your wedding.

The whole process from viewing and booking was easy and Clare made us feel that everything was in hand, she literally took any wedding planning worries and questions off us and made them her own and sorted it really quickly. On the day of our wedding, Jamie couldn't have done enough to help all our wedding party, from checking up on me a few times in the morning, explaining what was happening next and telling me to relax and enjoy the day. He ensured everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there! The whole day was everything we wanted and more, everything ran so smoothly and Jamie and his attention to detail ensured this to a T! Everyone commented on how helpful all the staff were and how lovely the rooms were! We all had such a fabulous day, we love talking about it still and we owe that to all of you, you genuinely cared that we had the best day and that's priceless, what a team! Thank you again, Mr & Mrs Swallow

My husband & I got married at Smokies on Friday 7th April 23 in the Medlock Suite. This is where we held the ceremony, wedding breakfast & evening reception. Well where do I start, from picking our wedding date and making the booking with Sophie back in 2021 to having numerous meetings & discussions with Clare & Sophie, to upon our special day, to the day itself where Jamie & Sophie played a big part of our day. They made sure it all ran smoothly and everything was perfect for us, we cannot thank Smokies & all the staff enough they was AMAZING & made our day that bit special ✨️ The process of making our dream wedding come true with the help of the suppliers Smokies use "Joyous moments - Stef, Elegant_cakes_design_by_lou, High style Cars - Phil & DJ Tony " Smokies also accommodate extras I had booked i.e - wedding singer (Laura&thesax) our saxophonist Ben (saxeveryweekend) Our 360 booth by (grande_events_mcr) & finally our Photographer Tony (Manchester Photographer). It was more than what we could have ever imagined. I'd highly recommend Smokies for weddings & even just a celebration venue, it's perfect & the whole day couldn't of gone any better. Shout out to Bruno the chef - couldn't be happier with the service of food & evening buffet - all guests commented on how amazing the food was & the variety we had. He also catered for special dietary requirements and there were no issues. Lastly I just want to say a massive thank you to Smokies Wedding organisers for everything you did for myself & James - even to gathering all our belongings at the end of the evening and checking us into the bridal suite and taking our bags up to our room - Jamie and all the staff at the night time were great. Hopefully we will catch up with Sophie, Clare & the rest of the staff to share our beautiful wedding photos soon ❤️ Mr & Mrs Whittaker
