Highly recommend!

We could not be happier with the service we received from the staff at the Desmond Hotel in Malvern during our wedding weekend. Cynthia was very professional and friendly and helped us to set up the hotel block, as well as our after party. It was a pleasure working with her. Samantha worked very hard with great professionalism and courtesy as well to assist with our bookings. During the stressful experience of planning a wedding, it was a great relief to work with such professional and nice people for our hotel block. Our guests all loved the accommodations and hotel bar.

10 out of 10 Experience!

We hosted a 170-person wedding here, and the event couldn't have been better if we tried. From our first instance at the venue, the Catering Sales Manager, Karen, was attentive, knowledgeable, and personable! She walked us through every aspect of the event, and continued that support through the year of planning. The room block was perfect, the atmosphere was fun and inviting while maintaining a level of elegance, and the food was PERFECT. Prince, the Banquet Manager, was wonderful to work with about food and signature cocktails, and the entire staff were sweet and professional. Special shoutouts to Carol and Dottie for helping keep us fed and never without a drink. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a one-stop-shop of ease and class for their special day!
