An Excellent Experience
We recently held my husbands 40th birthday dinner party at The Mansion and I have to tell you that it was an excellent experience!
From the initial meeting with Jenni and Michael to discuss options, with the additional challenges of it being a surprise and Jon being a wine buff, through to the Tasting dinner and then the actual event were all conducted very professionally but also with warmth , personality and interest.
There was a definite ambition to make the event individual and special. The tasting dinner with
Every one of our guests commented on the amazing location as well as the wonderful food , service and attention to detail. I think you will be getting some new business from some of our guests and we would definitely use your company in the future .
I have worked in the retail industry for over 20 years and fully appreciate the challenges of a busy schedule as well as achieving this level of customer care.
You, as I am sure you know, have a team to be proud of!
Best Regards

We would not hesitate to recommend Dine and The Mansion
Dear Daniel,
I was just wanting to thank you and your staff for an exceptional day, we had our civil ceremony at The Mansion Leeds and we were looked after by Michael, he was very helpful when we were looking for a venue and recommended other services that were just as professional as yours to make our day AMAZING.
Michael and the staff at Roundhay were professional, courteous, friendly and far exceeded our expectations for the day, all our guests commented on how professional the staff were and how lovely the venue was, and everyone had a wonderful day.
We would not hesitate to recommend Dine and The Mansion to any of our friends in the future again, please pass on our thanks to Michael and his staff for an AMAZING day.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Dear Michael and
I’m writing to thank you both for our Wedding at The Mansion on Saturday 29th July – it was one of the best days of our lives!
Everything about the day – from the wonderful ceremony; the drinks on the terrace (with the seemingly endless jugs of Pimms); the sumptuous summer buffet (the beef was gorgeous) to the friendly and amazingly attentive staff – was delivered with incredible attention to detail and true professionalism. A number of us joked about your earpieces making you resemble CIA secret agents but I can see why you wear them as everything appeared so effortless with everything always in the right place at the right time.
We’d also like to pay a big thank you to the bar staff, waitresses and head waiter for not only being great at their jobs but also being genuinely warm characters who made all of us (including the hordes of kids) feel really welcome an special.
Obviously with a venue as beautiful and well positioned as The Mansion we were expecting a memorable event but the high quality of service, food and friendly ambience ensured that the day truly exceeded our expectations. Our only regret is that it’s over and we can’t do it all again….
Once again – on behalf of ourselves, our children, and our bowled over guests – thank you, thank you, thank you.

The Extra Mile
Dear Michael and James,
I am writing to thank you and your staff for making Claire and Andy’s wedding day so special. They were married on 21st April, the Mansion proved an amazing venue and the beautiful weather meant that we could take full advantage of the facilities you have to offer.
Everything was just perfect, the food was delicious and the service was fantastic, you all went the extra mile to ensure that Claire, Andy and their family and friends had a day to remember.
Thank you and best wishes from the very proud and happy mother of the bride,
Jan Anderson
From the bottom of my heart, thank you
Hi Craig,
Off away now for a few days well earned rest. Just wanted to say what a lovely day we all had including the bride who is the fussiest person in the world. There wasn't a bad word said everyone complimented the food, the setting the decorations and of course the staff who served the food wonderfully, the weather was also was brilliant, did you order that too?
All the traumas we had seem insignificant now as the day was perfect and in a lot of ways I'm pleased we had to change as I think the Mansion suited us better, it is a beautiful building which has been restored to a high standard and the staff are one of the good bits as they behave so well, not just professional but caring too. So from the bottom of my heart thank you Craig, please pass my compliments on to James and his team, and feel assured I would not hesitate to recommend your services.

Memorable 80th Birthday Party at The Mansion
You, James and all the staff at The Mansion want to be congratulated for the courteous and efficient way you looked after me for my 80th Party - from the reception, through to the delicious meal and the lovely setting and venue - thank you all so very much.
I'm not going to repeat all the complementary remarks my thank you letters contained as it would make you far too big headed! But my word, they were also very impressed...You certainly have lovely young, smiley waiting staff - well drilled too - please thank them and of course the magnificent Chef, the food was perfection; and I have eaten in some pretty fabulous places but yours was on an equal par.
Michael - thank you for such a memorable 80th Birthday.

Wonderful Wedding
Dear Sir,
I am writing to express my thanks and gratitude to all your staff who helped my daughter Jessica have such a wonderful wedding reception last Saturday.
The service was excellent throughout and I have received many complements from friends and family who attended for the event. In particular a number of my elderly relatives were very grateful for the kind and considerate way in which you staff dealt with their needs. All in all we had a wonderful time and one we will never forget thanks to the staff at The Mansion.
Kind Regards,
Shaun

Absolutely Faultless
Dear Michael and James,
Thank you so very very much for an absolutely amazing day yesterday.
From the very first time we looked around the Mansion to when we picked up all our 'lefts overs' this afternoon we knew we made the right decision in choosing the Mansion as our wedding venue. Michael, you have the ability to make us feel so special, like you only have our wedding to coordinate and think about, yet you provide such a slick service it is very clear to see that this is a very well polished routine!
We had so many comments from our guests over the day on the venue itself, the high quality food produced for so many people, and overall the service that you provided - it was all absolutely faultless. We knew from our previous meeting with you that it was going to be a great day, but it really went way beyond our already high expectations!
You have helped create so many very very happy memories of our wedding day, which we will always remember and reflect back on - we literally had the best day of our lives! So THANK YOU for absolutely everything.
With love,
Guv and Katie Sehmi
A beautiful setting
Dear Sir/Madam,
I just wanted to drop you a line to say a very big thank you for a fantastic day on 1st August when we dined with you for my brother in law's 40th birthday lunch. The food and service was first class.
I was the lady with the food intolerances and I know how awkward if can be for a busy kitchen to deal with this but it was wonderful to be made to feel normal with a choice of lovely dishes. Please can you extend a big thank you from me to the chef - it really was appreciated. I'd also like to say how great Jan was and the rest of the front of house staff. The service couldn't be faulted and we felt very 'looked after.
You have a beautiful setting there in
Kindest regards,
Dr Julie Smith,
Wouldn't change a thing
Dearest Michael,
I rang you yesterday at The Mansion as we’d got back form mini-mooning in
I think I remember throwing my arms around you and asking whether I needed to tell you that I’d had the best day of my life, or whether you already knew from the ridiculous smile on my face… but what I really wanted to express is what an amazing job you and your team did, not only on the day, but everything you had involvement in. Every single guest commented on the quality of the food, the venue itself, the general flawless organisation of the day and it was all down to you and we can’t thank you enough.
I genuinely wouldn’t have changed a thing about our day and I bet most brides don’t say that… I know we’re the luckiest people in the world to have a day as perfect. James told me you were always one step ahead, in every part of the day, and I feel bad for being completely oblivious to it! But I guess that’s how it was supposed to be. I just hope we didn’t cause you too much trouble or work or grief, and that everyone was well behaved throughout the day?
I’ve already convinced James to have our 25 Wedding Anniversary at the Mansion and he’s already booked the band! (they were my other Hero’s of the night…awesome). We’ve got a little token for you to say a proper thank you so we’ll pop up with that at some point soon.
We’ll have 24/7 sketched in our hearts forever, not just because of the vows we made, but because it was the best day of our lives.
With Many Thanks and Endless Adoration!
Bethan and James Wilkin xx
Most impressive wedding venue
Dear Michael,
Fiona and I would like to put on record formally how delighted we were with the way you and your team handled the planning and execution of our wedding reception in November. I believe we were the seventh wedding after the completion of the renovation works, but at no point before or during the day did we sense any teething problems or inexperience in any of your team. I think that the most impressive aspect of the service you provided was your ability to do absolutely everything our way, and to fit all our requests into the venue and your handling of the day. Our guests frequently commented on how bespoke and tailored the day seemed to be, and on how impressively all the parts of the reception integrated together. Fiona and I were also extremely grateful for all the advice and recommendations you gave us as we were planning the day - at times it felt as though you were our wedding planner as well as the co-ordinator of the reception. We would like to express how amazing a job we think Dine has done with the renovations at The Mansion. You have created a modern and chic venue, while always remaining sympathetic to the character and needs of the building itself. The result is unquestionably the best-look and most impressive of all the wedding venues we looked at, whether in London or Yorkshire. We hope it came across on the day that Fiona and I had a wonderful time at our wedding, and everyone at the Mansion played a huge part in ensuring that it was such a success. We are hugely grateful to you all, and would not hesitate in recommending the Mansion to anyone planning a wedding or any other event.With very best wishes Tony
Extremely Impressed!
Dear Michael, Dan and everyone at Dine, Thank you all so much for everything you did to help us with the wedding preparations. It really was a beautiful day and everyone who came was extremely impressed by the Mansion. Best wishes Leila and Stuart
My mum had a wonderful time!

Amazing Experience!
Michael & Team, Thank you so much for making our Wedding such an amazing experience! Everything was fantastic - the venue, food, service and Bellini's! We have received such lovely comments from our guests saying how impressed they were, so please pass on this feedback to your team. The day ran so smoothly and Christian and I had such an amazing day, I don't think we stopped smiling. We hope you all had a great Christmas and we wish you a very happy New Year! Thanks once again.
Thank You
James, Michael & Richard, I just wanted to write and thank you all for your excellent service and your hard work. You made my day feel very special. The Food was beautiful and everything was perfect. It was exactly what I wanted and everyone who was there felt very spoilt! Thank you

We wouldn't hesitate to recomend you. On the day the room looked perfect, the food was excellent and the staff were very polite and courteous. Many of our guests commented on the high standard of service you provided.
Perfect
Our Wedding Day was more than we could have ever dreamed of. The setting was stunning, the food outstanding and all the staff were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We can't recommend you highly enough!
Thank You
Thank you very much for a wonderful wedding day. The room and flowers were beautiful and the food excellent. Everybody had a wonderful time...thank you!
What a surprise!
We just had to write to say what a wonderful place and team you have here. We attended a wedding last week at the Mansion for the first time in many years and, I have to say, with some trepidation! We both remember the Mansion in years gone by, it used to be such a wonderful place but had become very tired and sad just recently. You must have worked so hard because it is hardly recognisable now, absolutely beautiful, just as it was always meant to be. On top of that the food and your waiting staff are so good and friendly too. We have both been to quite a number of weddings over the years and this certainly stood out for all the right reasons. With best wishes, Patricia and Keith Wood
What a star
Michael, Just a quick note to say thank you for making our wedding so perfect- we couldn't have done it without you! From the first meeting to the day itself you couldn't have been more helpful. It was so great knowing that we were dealing with the person who would be running our wedding on the day and would know exactly what we wanted. From the ceremony through the drinks reception and dinner, everything was perfect. Everything was absolutley faultless. Thanks again!
