Best Wedding Venue

We had our wedding at The Three horseshoes Inn September 10th 2022 and it exceeded all of our expectations. Wendy and all of the staff went above and beyond to help ensure our wedding day went as smoothly as possible.
Any questions we had prior to our wedding day were very promptly answered and help was always available for us.
All of our guests complimented the excellent food quality and the service was so efficient for all of our 93 guests ensuring that we all ate together. Drinks remained flowing during the day and the staff were so polite and friendly it really made our day for our guests to be so well looked after.
The rooms to stay over are all excellent and tastefully decorated with a variety of prices available for all budgets.
Enchanted decorated the wedding venue for us and it took our breath away it was way beyond our expectations absolutely stunning and very classy.
The change over from the ceremony to the wedding breakfast room was so quick by all of the waiting on staff and it was all completed whilst we were having our photographs in the absolutely stunning gardens. Really these views over the roaches are absolutely stunning as well as many areas of the Three horseshoes garden areas to have some beautiful photographs taken.
We were also impressed by the bridal suite where I was able to share getting ready having hair & makeup done with my sisters and close friends, this room is amazing it has dressing tables, ensuite shower room, a lounge area and an elevated outdoor terrace with seating areas where we enjoyed a glass of prosecco whilst getting ready.
Wendy was amazing at keeping me informed with what would happen next and she also kept the groom informed too. She was such a calming influence and helped to ensure that I was ready to walk down the aisle looking my best, she made sure my wedding dress was fanned out at the back and gave me good advice regards holding the bouquet. A lovely touch was how the waiting on staff were lined up to greet me as I entered the area ready to walk towards the aisle with my Nephew who was giving me away, it all added to the experience of making our day so special, magical and very classy.
Last but not least we definitely recommend their own DJ Nicky he was brilliant and played all of the music we had requested.
Everything we could have ever wished for was all catered for at this venue and we both definitely recommend having your wedding here or any special parties or anniversaries. Excellent value for our wedding and very reasonably priced for the quality and all that is available for everything you need on your wedding day.

Amazing Wedding

Cannot thank Wendy and the team enough! From start to finish service was brilliant, staff extremely calm and organised. Guided us through every step of the day. Absolutely brilliant with my dad who uses a powerchair. Our special day could not have gone any better. Food was delicious and plenty of it, made arrangements for vegan diets which was much appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed. DJ played a range of songs to suit all ages, dance floor was always occupied. Thank you so much. x x

Best day of my life!

Held our wedding ceremony and reception here and couldn't have picked a better venue. The country setting, Katie and the Millwheel Spa (especially the Beach Hut), the food and drinks. Wendy and Mark looked after us and guided us through the day. Everything was perfect with thanks to all the staff. My husband and I, and all of our guests had a fantastic time.

A Massive Thank You

We'd just like to say a massive thank you to all the staff at the Three Horseshoes. From the start they were very friendly and approachable and nothing was too much trouble, they explained everything brilliantly and on the day everything went to plan. The food was amazing, the venue was beautiful and they just made our special day perfect and stress free. The location and even the weather was perfect. The whole experience was magical, even down to the breakfast in the morning with quite a few of our guests. Would certainly recommend as a perfect wedding location. Thanks again

Our perfect day

We had our wedding here as it's a place that really does it all. It's a hotel, spa a restaurant and the views are beautiful. Mainly throughout the planning of our day we were looked after by Steven. From viewing their venue right up to him leading our special day. Every guest complimented us on the 1st class service and food the three horse shoes provided. Our day flowed seemlessly and that can only be down to their wonderful team of staff!! We can not recommend this venue enough!

The Wedding of Mr & Mrs Harriott

I would like to start by saying a massive thank you to all the staff at the Three Horseshoes they were amazing on the day and also before in meetings and also with setting up. Leaving all nt decorations in the hands of thetiquette three horseshoes hands was nerve-wracking, but when I walked in on the day it looked perfect. The food was amazing and the DJ was very accommodating with our choice of music. But last but not least the views and scenery are breathtaking and all our photos looked perfect. So thank you so much for making our day perfect.

Perfect Day

We got married here in 2013 and the staff and management could not do enough for us. The day ran like clockwork and the weather was stunning so most of the day was spent in the gardens which was beautiful. Mark and Stephen were brilliant from initial query through to welcoming us back for our first anniversary. Highly recommended and in our opinion the best venue in Staffordshire.

Woderful Wedding Venue

We married at this venue on September 11th 2014. The venue and scenery is stunning. All of the staff were professional but friendly. The food and service for both reception and evening buffet was delicious. Many of our guests commented on the wedding and how much they had enjoyed it. I (the bride) stayed the night before the wedding and Katie & Coral did my hair and make up on the wedding morning. We had a fabulous day and I would highly recommend this venue. Why look anywhere else when you have found the best. Thanks to all at Three Horseshoes and we will def be back when you open the full spa, cant wait
