We had a fantastic evening in the Drawing Room! It was a 40th work anniversary and we couldn't have been better looked after. Everything was great from the room, to the food. And as it was one of the hottest days of the year, the aircon was great! Thanks to all the team at the Marquis Cornwallis. We will definitely be back!

Excellent venue, let us play our own music and we all had the best time.
We only had one bartender who had to work very hard to serve everyone. We also had some issues with the air con and not having the room organised but other than that everything was great!

Wedding Reception · 100 guests
We held our wedding dinner and drink reception. It was absolutely fantastic.
The food, staff and the venue were both absolutely amazing. The communicate was clear and supportive right up to the build up. The food platters for the evening guests was also incredible.
Shruti was outstanding throughout the entire day and evening! She handled everything so seamlessly and was great fun and always positive, we’re incredibly grateful for her work on the day! All our guests were impressed by the professionalism and service.
