Testimonials
A perfect day and night was had by everyone!
“We have had nothing but pleasant stays and visits at Cottons hotel and Spa in Knutsford and have always found all the staff, from reception, waiting on and the spa to be nothing but friendly, pleasant and extremely helpful, hence one of the reasons we chose this venue for our wedding. I have nothing but praise in particular for Jess the wedding and events coordinator who was there from the start with all the organization and paperwork and nothing was too much trouble for her, she was extremely pleasant to work with and there for support up to the day. I checked in the night before and on the day there was Alex who was absolutely amazing with his support and made the day stress free for myself. He did all the overseeing of the final stages on the day, dealing with all deliveries from florist, cake maker, venue dressers, the registrars, etc. making sure all went to plan. The wedding breakfast, canapés, drinks especially the wine was exceptional, we had our own music and control of the volume which got a bit louder towards the end 😊🕺 I could not have done it without these two! Thank you Jess and Alex! We have no hesitation in recommending this venue and we will be returning at least once a year on our anniversary”
Mr & Mrs Whitby
“We had an amazing day, with our closest family and friends. The evening was great too and everything ran on time. I would like to firstly thank you Jess for your efforts and communication in making our day amazing. We really appreciate the thoughtfulness and consideration you put into the planning by working alongside us for what we wished for. It was a pleasure to work with you and we feel you have given us a great service Secondly I would like to thank Alex. We had so many nice comments about your attitude and pleasant manner with the guests. You were there for us at all times during the day and we cannot thank you enough. You made the day run smoothly, listened to our requests and helped us whenever we needed. Thank you again! Lastly I would like to thank the staff on the day for their service. Thank you also for giving us a private area for breakfast dining the day after, it was really appreciated.”
Mr & Mrs Springthorpe-Child
“I cannot thank the team at Cottons enough for making our wedding day the best day of our lives! From beginning to end the team worked tirelessly to ensure that everything was absolute perfection. Special thanks must go to Jess our coordinator who was always at the end of the phone to answer enquiries and many questions - nothing was ever too much trouble. Another special thanks to Alex who did an amazing job of running the day - even though we arrived later than expected! The day was just amazing from beginning to end - the food was superb, bar staff were fantastic and accommodation was brilliant. The dancefloor absolutely made our night and was packed right up until 1am! I would highly recommend Cottons hotel to anyone planning a wedding. It was the best decision we made aside from saying I do!”
Mr & Mrs Ward
“Thank you so much for EVERYTHING you did for us, we viewed so many venues before Cottons and once we viewed Cottons it was such an easy yes! We couldn’t have asked anymore from the whole process, everything was always so quick and nothing was any trouble. Alex did a great job from start to finish, we let him decide on where things should go and he did a great job, everything looked perfect. The whole day went so smoothly, nothing went wrong and things just fell into place, with a lot of hard work from you guys I’m sure! Our day was perfect and we can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for us, you all made our special day extra special.”
Kayleigh & Aimee
“Thank you so much for all your help in the run up to and on the wedding day!! It was absolutely invaluable!
We had the most fantastic day and loved every minute of it!! If we could do it all again, we wouldn't change a thing as it was absolutely perfect!! Your bar staff were fantastic, quick and so accommodating! We have had endless remarks about the fantastic food, which we loved!! The Cottons will always hold a special place in our hearts!
Thank you again Jess! It was so appreciated!”
Mr & Mrs Phillips
“TI would like to say a huge thank you to every single member of your team, from start to finish the staff at the Cottons have been amazing.
From Karen to Jess the planning process was flawless and made me relax so much. Your fast response to my emails and attention to detail has been great all the way through. The whole weekend went great. From meeting Alex on Friday I knew we were in good hands. Arrival and evening meal on Saturday was lovely. Sunday was outstanding, the staff were incredibly attentive and to be honest we didn't notice them but noticed the work they were doing. Having worked in hotels in the past myself and Jacob were amazed by their work. The bar staff were so nice and friendly. The food could not have been complemented enough, it was gorgeous.
Alex was amazing and at 1am, he was still tidying up after me. He was there on hand through it all. Nothing was too much trouble for him at all, he pre-empted our needs and was on hand throughout the day and night into the early hours. He made the day flow and nothing went wrong. My mum was thanking the staff herself as she was so happy and impressed and she's a hard lady to please. The only word to describe the day was perfect. My requests were precise and everything was met and if not improved.
Thank you all so much again. Myself and Jacob can't wait to return and recommend to any couple looking for a venue.”
Mr & Mrs Glynn
"Our day was everything we dreamt off, honestly! Everything was perfect, had so many comments about the food so please pass on my gratitude to the chef. Andrew was brilliant and probably sick of me by the end of the day! Honestly thank you so much!"
