From the minute we made an appointment to go in and visit to the moment we left the next morning as a married couple, the Rose and Crown made our day so very special. We first visited in August 2022 for a wedding in October 2022, which is not a huge amount of time to plan a wedding. However, Katy (the events manager), made the experience seamless and within an hour of meeting her, we had a date and plan for a 30 person wedding ready to go. The Rose and Crown is set in a wonderful area of Salisbury and the backdrop against the river is a wonderful place to have a reception. The staff were all very friendly and helpful when we were there. One of the things we found very important was the communication between hotel and customer. Our emails were always answered promptly and our messages were passed on to the correct person as well. Although this seems obvious, we had dealt with places before who did not do this and this certainly made the experience far more pleasant. By the time the day arrived, Katy and her staff had everything in place and we arrived to a beautiful venue and wonderful reception. The food, which was picked from a pre-set menu, had a wide variety of options. They also were able to alter the food for some of our fussy guests and catered for a last minute addition to our reception who had a dietary requirement. The venue itself has wonderful character, we had the Orangery, which overlooked the gardens and river. A bar is available which is a short walk round through reception with plenty of options for drinks. In the evening, a resident DJ set up and the room was moved around to allow for a dance floor, this was what we wanted and made the experience even more enjoyable. As the bride and groom, we stayed overnight. The room was spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. There was a buffet breakfast in the morning as well. Overall, the Rose and Crown, Katy and her staff were a big part of our day and making it so special.

We recently had our wedding at the hotel and I can honestly say we made the right decision to have it at the Rose and Crown. Katie the events manager and her team went above and beyond my expectations. The rooms looked AMAZING thanks to their hard work. ALL staff worked so hard in the evening too and were so friendly. I could not fault anything. If anyone is considering booking their wedding here, 100% DO IT. Sam and Marcus Pitcher

Where do I start… To begin with there was a few ups and downs from the start of the booking (change of coordinators a few times) But when Katy took over my previous anxiety and fears disappeared and from the get go she made me feel at ease and that everything was in hand. And my god what an amazing day it was.. I arrived the day before and from the second I walked in I was attended to and looked after (even had all my belongings taken to my room for me so I could enjoy a drink at the bar) Katy was very involved the very next morning assisting with my flower and table dresser and even helped me with some last minute table plans changes. Katy was with me right up until I walked down the aisle- I was a blubbering mess. The hotel itself is such a beautiful idyllic setting inside and out. The river behind us was an added bonus if you want to capture the most amazing photos. The staff through our wedding was just exceptional and the food (bbq buffet) was just that delicious that we are even arranging another family get together next year. The feedback I had from all our family and friends was great and many looking forward to revisiting. I can’t recommend the Rose and Crown enough. So if you are looking into possibly getting married here - I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with Katy at hand. The biggest thank you to everyone at the Rose and Crown for making our day the most special day we could of ever dreamed of xxx

We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding day it was perfect! The venue was amazing, with so many areas for people to sit and relax and enjoy the day. The staff were outstanding in how they worked seamlessly to make the day run smoothly and Katy was such a great support, excellent communication skills and nothing was too much effort. I felt constantly reassured that with Katy in charge I had nothing to worry about! The food was incredible and presented beautifully. The afternoon tea was a huge hit with all our guests. We can’t thank everyone enough for making our special day so memorable. I would highly recommend the Legacy Rose and Crown Hotel.

Thank you so much to the Rose and Crown for making our day PERFECT. Could not fault the hotel at all! They were so lovely and went above and beyond for us and we, as well as all of our guests, had the most amazing day! Everything went so smoothly and the day was a complete success! Such a gorgeous setting as well and cannot recommend this place enough!

My husband and I were lucky enough to get married at this beautiful venue in August 2021. The staff were very friendly and put us at ease and the food was excellent. From viewing the venue in 2018 and then having to rearrange the date several times due to Covid-19, Rachael Bruce the wedding coordinator was understanding, calm and professional and helped us plan the most amazing wedding day taking all the stress out of it. The day ran smoothly from start to finish, despite having to get married at a much earlier time. Rachael and the Rose and Crown were very adaptable. Due to Rachael's knowledge and expertise, she was able to guide us on wedding plans, even down to proper wedding etiquette. We truly loved our wedding day and are so grateful to the Rose and Crown and the team, there isn't anything we would change about our special day.

We can't thank The Legacy Rose and Crown enough for our amazing wedding reception. It really was very special. Due to covid we had to change our date and venue, like many couples, but we are so pleased we did. From the first moment we walked into The Legacy Rose and Crown we were met with exceptional customer service. It is a beautiful venue with an amazing setting by the river, and the cathedral in the background. Rachael Bruce was our wedding coordinator, and she made us feel very welcome from the start. She could not do enough for us. From start to finish she made all of our ideas become a reality, even giving us other suggestions we hadn't thought of. On our wedding day we got delayed by 45 minutes coming from our ceremony to the hotel. We rang ahead to pre-warn them and this did not fase them at all. They had no issues with this, and just shifted the timings for everything. When we eventually arrived we were not made to feel rushed by them at all, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Our three course wedding breakfast meal was really good. The food was exceptional and very good portion sizes. The time between each course was very good, so it never felt like they were rushing to get the next course out. The way they decorated our tables, on our behalf, with the bits we had dropped off, exceeded our expectations. All in all we couldn't praise the hotel enough. Rachael and all the staff went above and beyond. We would highly recommend this hotel to anybody thinking of having there wedding here. We will definitely be returning many times in the future.

Wow, what a venue to have a wedding. The support and planning assistance we received was amazing, and the actual wedding day went smoothly. It was just perfect. We had an outside ceremony and had decorated the wooden gazebo, which made for a beautiful setting next to the river especially with the cathedral view, which was featured in our wedding photos as a backdrop. Rachael was there to take us through each stage, and make sure that everyone was happy . It was truly seamless and picture perfect. Frank, at the restaurant, and Sharon, on the reception, are both a credit to the hotel, providing a friendly thorough service at all times. Our wedding really was amazing and I can't thank these guys enough for all they did to make sure we didn't have anything to worry about. The wedding breakfast was in the glass end of the restaurant, and as it was a sunny day, it was simply stunning. The food was delicious, and well served and attended to. Everyone had a hot meal without any waiting. The evening reception was brilliant. The DJ was spot on. Everyone was up dancing and having lots of fun. We also hired a photo booth, which added to the enjoyment too. Many of our guests complemented the evening buffet, and it must have been good as I hardly got a look in. All in all, we highly recommend this beautiful river location, with gardens and outside space to hold your wedding.

Five stars all around for Rachael and the team at The Legacy Rose and Crown Hotel. From the minute we booked wIth them they had great communication and let me know when everything needed to be done by. I sent endless emails with questions and add ons, and they would always reply fast and answer all of my questions. The lead up to the wedding was so stress free. Even dropping off the centre pieces and wedding extras was seamless, we left it for them to do and they placed everything perfectly. The wedding morning I thought I would be a bundle of stress but everything ran smoothly. We had a little bit of rain and Rachael knew I really wanted to have the outdoor wedding that I had planned, so she kept it going and luckily the rain went off! Throughout the whole day Rachael kept everything running smoothly, without us even knowing she was there! She worked so hard to make sure everything was how we wanted and it was above and beyond everything we had expected. I cannot RECOMMEND and thank The Legacy Rose and Crown Hotel enough and all the team. They made us feel so welcome and did everything they could to make the day as perfect as it was.

A huge thank you to everyone at Legacy Rose & Crown Hotel. It was an amazing day. The hotel managed the whole event to the highest standard. Even now, all our guests are commenting on how everything was spot on. The food was fantastic, the venue was stunning, and the amenities were kept to a high standard of cleanliness. We would like to say a special thanks to Rachael, after two postponements and a lot of meetings we felt totally looked after and as a result, our day was truly amazing.

We finally had our wedding day at the Rose & Crown on Saturday 17th July. The day was absolutely beautiful, despite many last-minute changes due to covid restrictions. Our wedding coordinator Rachel was incredible & nothing was ever too much to ask. We want to thank all staff at the rose & crown for ensuring our day run smoothly, but the biggest thank you goes to Rachel, who delivered more than we could ever have wished for. The Hotel was a gorgeous backdrop for our wedding photographers. All of our guests made a point of complimenting how beautiful the hotel grounds were! We can’t rave about the venue enough & would highly recommend it! Thank you again!

I became Mrs Sullivan on Saturday 22nd of May 2021, and what a perfect day it was! We were so lucky with the weather. The garden was just so beautiful to have photos with the river and spire in the background. It was a great location for all of us to walk to the cathedral for more beautiful photos. Thanks to Rachael and her awesome team, the whole day ran so smoothly. The food was lovely too. I would do it all over again and would choose the Legacy Rose and Crown Hotel! We also had the cathedral suite for the night before and the night of the wedding, which was really nice. There was so much room for the wedding party to get ready in. We had a few extra people in there than planned, but that wasn't a problem with the size of the room. Breakfast the next morning was perfect too. So overall, we were well looked after on the day and leading up to the day. Rachael is a brilliant wedding coordinator. Thank you again for all your help and hard work to make our big day so special and perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better day!

Wow, what can I say?? Winners of the best wedding venue in Wiltshire award since 2016, and it is clear to see why? The events manager demonstrated her experience and professionalism with ease, ensuring that we had a fantastic wedding reception with no issues whatsoever. The location was absolutely fantastic. You would be in danger of missing out on the beautiful building and the picturesque garden, making the most stunning wedding photographs. With backdrops of the river Avon and Salisbury cathedral, we could not ask for any more. From servers, bar staff, chefs, reception, and the maintenance man, every staff member was professional, courteous, and knew their roles and responsibilities inside out. They were instrumental in ensuring that my wife and our guests had the best experience possible. Even with government restrictions in place with covid-19, the legacy rose, and the crown implemented safety measures to a high standard which had no impact on our enjoyment of the day. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, not one of our guests had a complaint, in fact, each and everyone commented on how lovely the food, hotel and atmosphere was. The honeymoon suite was beautifully prepared with a lovely little gift and heart-shaped rose petals for our arrival. I really can not recommend the legacy rose and crown enough. We genuinely had no problems whatsoever, and the hotel accommodated all our requests. Thank you, Rose and crown.

After rescheduling from a June wedding, Rachael managed to organise a great day for us, as lockdown was then announced again for the following week. Lovely setting, small family gathering, good food. Thank you to Rachael and team to make it happen. Unfortunately the bridal suite situated above kitchen was extremely noisy all night due to a fault, after reporting this we received no further contact or explanation, hence 4 stars. Response from Venue: Your wedding day was lovely and we were so pleased that we managed to go ahead with your planned special day. We are very sorry that you had a disturbed night stay with us. We did have a maintenance issue occur, in our kitchen, that night and we have carried out work to fix the problem. We apologise for the inconvenience that this caused you and hope you make a return visit soon.

Our wedding at The Legacy Rose and Crown was a wonderful experience! We planned our wedding from abroad with only a few visits to the venue prior to the day. We worked with Rachel throughout our planning process and she was excellent. We exchanged lots of emails regarding plans and she was always prompt with communicating. On the day, everything was set up as we envisaged and looked great. The setting is absolutely gorgeous for those who want a picturesque wedding with the river and Cathedral in the backdrop. Throughout the weekend of our wedding, the entire staff were professional and very hospitable, often pre-empting our requirements--and the food was delicious! The day was exactly as we hoped and we truly recommend this venue.

The best venue we could have picked for our wedding day! Everything went perfectly and we could not fault the day at all. This was down to the amazing wedding Co-Ordinator and staff at the Rose and Crown, Rachael went out of her way to make sure our wedding day ran smoothly and even helped my parents with organising a surprise of Star Wars characters to greet us at the door when we arrived. We themed our wedding to be gaming/arcade related and arranged for arcade machines and consoles to be set up in the Oak Bar, this was done whilst we were having our meal and overseen by Rachael to make sure everything was in the right place. Being big geeks this was amazing to have at the venue! The food was so delicious and our guests with special requirements were catered for no problem at all. Even with nearly 100 guests every one got what they wanted. The breakfast the next day was also very nice! DJ did a great job on the night and the added extras of the smoke machine and confetti at the end of the first dance was really something special. Would definitely recommend this venue for the beautiful photos we got with the cathedral in the background, professional staff, great food and just a flawless day with some truly great memories for the best day of our lives!

Being a girl who has always loved Disney films and anything fairytale related. I have always dreamed about my wedding day. The Rose & Crown had a lot to live up to. But I can honestly say I had the perfect day! As a first time bride, I didn’t realise how much planning and organising it took to plan your dream wedding. I had no experience. Thankfully the Rose & Crown have a fabulous team and thanks to the wedding coordinator Racheal, who helped me throughout my whole journey. Nothing was to much, it really felt like the sky was limit. The hardest thing I found when planning my wedding was not being able to see it all come together until the day. I had to hope that all the hard work would pay off and everything would be enough. But on the wedding day I didn’t worry about anything. There was nothing to be worried about. Racheal and her team had everything under control. There was nothing for us to do but just be present and celebrate with all the people we love. Which meant the world to us. The Rose & Crown is such a lovely hotel surrounded by beautiful scenery and very close to the cathedral which can be seen from the garden which make the best photos! The food was absolutely delicious! And the dessert with our initials written in chocolate was just the perfect personalised touch! Asa the DJ was brilliant!! He delivered a great party and kept people dancing all night!! I thought it would be impossible to have a wedding without any disasters but not even a small hiccup! Almost 2 weeks since our wedding day and it’s been amazing to hear all our family and friends positive feedback. They have said “it’s the best wedding they have been to” I know were biased but of course we agree! We are so grateful that everything went perfectly! It’s been the best wedding gift we could have ever wished for - for all our guests to have had a good time. The Rose & Crown will not disappoint, if anything they will only exceed your expectations! Mr and Mrs Maican xx

We found the Rose and Crown Hotel to be a perfect venue for our wedding reception. Rachael and her team were really friendly and supportive from the moment we first met them. It was lovely to have their support and know that if needed everything essential would be taken care of – but at the same time as many or as few of our own personal touches could be included. Whilst it was a “package” we really felt that we were getting (and eventually got) the wedding reception we wanted. The location is beautiful both indoors and outdoors. It was great for photos of our guests and as a couple. We got lovely photos all day – even outside after dark in the rain. The space provided was perfect for our meal and evening entertainment. We got the “relaxed” feel we wanted within a modern and stylish location. There was a space for everyone – whether that was on the dance floor or enjoying a quiet drink with friends in the snug. On the day the attention to detail was spot and our plan and requests were followed to the letter. The team were there to help us and work with us as much as we needed. We never felt the staff were intrusive, just there when needed and to help things move forward. To top off the perfect day, the room we had for our first night as a married couple was lovely – a great place to start our new life together. The hotel was also able to help provide great rooms for our guests and a lovely chance to share a breakfast with everyone on the morning after. There was no sense of rush to removing our personal items the next morning – helping give us a perfect end to our time at the hotel.

Thank you all so much for our lovely well organised Wedding Day we all had such a fantastic day and evening in a beautiful location, we also loved that we hired the punt on the river for after our wedding breakfast, this went down so well with all the guests. Great food enjoyed by all and very accommodating staff nothing too much trouble. Loved our bridal suit for the evening and great to have a family breakfast along with our other guests in the morning. Can highly recommend this venue for a beautiful summer wedding Mr & Mrs Meehan

Genuinely, we had the most fabulous time, and our very dear family and friends are still complimenting us on the best wedding they have ever attended! Of course, planning had been key. In that respect, Rachael (and more latterly John too) made sure that every detail was as we wished it to be - even the weather was idyllic, with a stunning sunset over the river compelling us all to take last minute photographs! We always felt that we were in safe hands, meaning that on the day we just relaxed, laughed, and savoured every glorious moment, including food and entertainment that earned much praise. Hannah and Caroline deserve special mention as well, for their energy and professionalism in managing our time without rushing us through. Thank you all so very much, not least for enabling us to start our married life with a truly beautiful day.

Rachael ensured that our Wedding Day went exactly how we wanted it. She is friendly, professional and she will do anything to make your day special. She gave up her own time to ensure we were happy with everything and takes away any worries or stresses you may have. We can't thank her enough for making our day so very special. I will definitely recommend both the venue and Rachael to any couple that wish to get married.
