What our guests have to say

"I just wanted to drop you all a note to thank you all for your help and hard work leading up to and during the day. We had a great time celebrating Gem’s 40th and our family and friends really enjoyed the party, the food, the hotel and your team’s hospitality.

So a huge thank you again - I would highly recommend The Maynard and the staff and I am glad we booked with you."

"The event went perfectly. Mum and Dad enjoyed the day very much. Their guests were really impressed with the venue and the food. The waiting team were friendly and helpful without being obtrusive. Everyone got the meal they ordered first time, so the time you put in to sorting out the table placement and timings was well spent. Even the projector worked (not always a given, in my experience).

I am so grateful! Nothing was out of place, all went smoothly and no fuss. I would definitely recommend you all."

"Thank you for all your help with the organisation of our 75th Anniversary Dinner on Saturday. The evening went well and everyone who came appreciated all you did. Special thanks also for setting up the room and all the serving staff and chef, everything
was seamless and the food was delicious. The Maynard was a super place to have our special evening."

"I just wanted to give you a very big thank you for organising such a successful celebration of life for my husband. Due to your care and preparation it all went extremely well and was very much appreciated by all who attended. The food selection especially was commented on and the sandwiches (and chips!) all received positive comments. The ambience of the room was perfect. Thank you so much for a really successful event. Please pass on our thanks to all the staff who helped to make the occasion so successful. I shall certainly recommend The Maynard in the future."

"We just wanted to drop you an email to say how grateful we were to have you supporting us on our big day!

Friends and family have commented on how brilliant you were. You helped the day run along smoothly and made sure all our personal details were able to shine perfectly.

You do an amazing job, and it meant so much to us, we were able to relax and enjoy our day stress free because of your care and attention to details. We cannot sing your praises enough!"
