Perri Married on 05/28/2021The perfect venue!
I had my wedding at The Kensington Hotel and it was absolutely perfect! The venue was so beautiful and we knew immediately when we visited it for the first time two years ago that we wanted to get married there. It was very versatile and had many great spots to take photos and rooms to get ready in. It was also convenient for our guests to stay at the hotel and made things easier for them. The food and bar was also great and the staff was very friendly and polite.
Our wedding was planned for 2020 and we had to postpone it to 2021. They were really flexible with us and made it easy for us to change our date. Throughout the process, we met with Leah a few times virtually and she answered all of our questions and helped make sure we were following the current guidelines and restrictions. It was cold and rainy on our wedding day, so we decided to move our ceremony indoors and she made the ceremony space look amazing! When I saw how everything looked, I was happy with getting married in the ballroom instead of in the courtyard. She made sure the venue was decorated beautifully and to our liking. There were times before the wedding when I felt very stressed and overwhelmed planning a Covid wedding, and Leah helped ease my nerves and made the process easier. I was worried my wedding was not going to look the way I wanted it to due to covid and the restrictions, but Leah and the staff at the hotel made our wedding better and more beautiful than I could’ve imagined it!-

We had our son's wedding here. It was an amazing experience. We recommend this hotel highly if you are planning a wedding. From the beginning until the very end they are with you every step of the way. Helping you with all the details, even the ones you never even thought of. They gave my son and daughter a fairy tale wedding. Many of the guest stayed at the hotel and loved it. The staff was the best, tending to everyone's needs. I can't say enough about the staff and this hotel, they were wonderful. Leah our wedding coordinator even taking care of the bride's dress sewing buttons on her dress to hold up her train. Polite, knowledgeable, definitely going above and beyond to make our experience a memorable one, thank you so much. The Vaughan Family-
