Excellency Midlands in short

Excellency Midlands is a large wedding venue at Stafford Park in Telford, run by an active limited company and offering catering, decor, planning, photography and chauffeur hire from one team. Food tasting sessions follow once you book, and sittings run past two thousand guests, which makes it the natural pick for a very large wedding. This review rates it a strong runner-up for couples who want a single team to own the whole day.

Customers rate Excellency Midlands four point six on Google across a very large review base, showing sustained demand. The kitchen holds the top food hygiene rating on the national register. What counts against it is the paperwork: no prices, hire fees or VAT position are published, and the approved-venues list does not name the venue, so the legal ceremony needs separate planning.

Questions about Excellency Midlands

Is Excellency Midlands any good?

On the evidence, yes for big weddings: it ranks second in our Telford table, holds four point six on Google across thousands of reviews, and covers catering, decor and planning in-house. The gaps are published prices and an approved-venue listing. Read the full review, then visit to judge the rooms yourself.

Is Excellency Midlands approved for civil ceremonies?

The Telford and Wrekin approved-venues list does not name the venue, so a legal ceremony needs planning elsewhere or with a celebrant. Its kitchen holds the top food hygiene rating on the national register, and an active company record sits behind the name. Settle the ceremony question before paying any deposit.

What does Excellency Midlands charge?

No prices, rates, menus with prices, hire fees or VAT position are published on the site. That means the written quote does the talking. Send your guest numbers and date, then ask for venue hire, catering, drinks and deposit itemised on the same scope.
