Jo and her team were fantastic from day 1. She was so helpful throughout the entire planning process and was very detailed and remembered our preferences. On the day, the team were exceptional - going above and beyond for us and our guests. They were so accommodating, moving our drinks reception to the terrace when the weather improved. They were flexible with extending our drinks reception when they could see ou

As Mother and Father of the Bride, we had the best day of our lives seeing our little girl getting married. We cannot fault the location at all and couldn't fault any of the staff as everything ran so smoothly. As for the staff, they made it....they were so, so kind and attentive. Credit where credits due - absolutely amazing experience and we wish we could do this again. If you are considering this location, then don't waste time...book it now.

We had our wedding breakfast and evening reception at Mannings Heath earlier this month. Jo was a joy to plan the day with, she was so helpful and made the planning feel like a treat. Harry ran our day and when we met with them both for the final time they made us feel like they were as delighted and excited as we were! They were eager for our quirky choices and deviations from a traditional day, and full of suggestions and knowledge ab

Jo, our wedding coordinator, was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We had already booked another venue before we came to see Mannings heath - something didn’t feel right with the first place, and then when we met Jo we just knew we would feel comfortable and relaxed through the planning. We found the whole process easy, and communication was brilliant. The venue was so so flexible and it really felt like they cared abou

The venue was perfect for every aspect of our wedding. Ceremony inside, drinks on the terrace, wedding breakfast, party were all brilliant. The support prior to the wedding from Jo was so helpful and responsive and the coordination from Jo and Hari in the day was great too. I’d recommend this venue to anyone who asked. Thank you Jo and Hari for making our day so wonderful and for making everything we wanted a reality. Claire & Geoff.x

Spectacular just does not do justice to this GEM of a place. After sampling the food at a number of venues, we stumbled on Mannings Heath's Restaurant as the one we wanted to choose for our Wedding Breakfast. Mind you, it wasn't just the food. We discovered that they also have incredible staff and also had Deluxe Rooms and Suites (including a Bridal Suite), to rival other superb venues in the surrounding area. The reason for our search was bec

Jo, Harry and the Team were absolutely amazing on our wedding day I could not have asked for anything more. The professionalism, care and kindness that was shown to us and our guests from the beginning of the process and throughout was incredible. The food was divine - the atmosphere amazing - the location and grounds... STUNNING! Nothing was too much for them and the prep, execution was incredible. Dietary requirements for people are such a big thing, the

Where to start?! We had our wedding reception at Manning's Heath Estate this October (2023). From day one, Jo, the events manager, was a breath of fresh air! We contacted so many venues who gave us the same automated spiel and made us feel like a cog in the wedding machine. Jo was the opposite. Giving us a personalised service from the off, making us feel like we were the only ones having our wedding reception there (which is far from the truth) and being genuinely excited for us and our day. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble and the day and experience really was centred around me and my husband and what we wanted from the day. I felt immediately like we could put all of our trust into Jo and the team and that the day would run smoothly (which I am happy to report it did). I never felt like we were being used to make money or ripped off, which unfortunately is the experience we had with so many places and is one of the many things that really stood out to me about Mannings Heath. Jo was easily contactable and really responsive. After our first meeting with Jo and seeing the venue we knew it was the place for us and we have absolutely no regrets about choosing it. The venue itself is beautiful, the wine lodge in particular is a stunning room that was absolutely perfect for our drinks reception. The upstairs room where we ate and had our DJ is also lovely and full of character. You don't need anything to make it feel special (the lights wrapped around the beams and the stained glass windows are already perfect). We had around 75 people in the room - it felt exactly the right size. If you had a smaller party the room was also sectionable. We have had so many compliments on the food and wine. Kellie, Executive Chef, went above and beyond to cater for a variety of allergies and intolerances - as well as for my mum who has particularly complex needs when it comes to food (so thank you so much Kellie). Harry looked after us in the evening, running the show like a star. The rest of the staff on the day were such genuinely nice and happy people. Again, we had a lot of comments on how nice the staff were. It was a pleasure to have our wedding reception here and everything we wanted. Thank you so much Manning's Heath team. We will always have a special place in our heart for for Manning's Heath Estate and will definitely be back. Rowena & Alex

The service was incredible, the food was stunning (including the custom cake they made us!), and the venue was gorgeous. We had just an incredible day for our intimate elopement ceremony. The lovely staff made sure they helped us with all of our needs on the day and we took some stunning photos on the vineyard and the buggy! To top it off the Sabrage experience was so much fun! Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Responsive, friendly, can count on them for anything
