From the moment we walked into the Manor rooms we knew it was the venue for us. Elegantly beautiful with the rolling hills as a backdrop, not sure you could ask any more from a venue. The main room is proportioned to give that intimate feel and set up in such a way that you always feel involved with your guests. The outside seating area is a great addition to enjoy the fabulous views that the venue affords. There is also an upstairs library space that overlooks the whole room which makes for another great seating area.
Onto the Ceremony room, wow what a great space, again the word here is elegant, decorated with subtle colours and just a wonderful space to get married in. It just feels right the moment you walk in, you just know this is the place. And weather permitting you could always make use of the outside space if that's your preference the Manor rooms can handle that.
They have the venue, they have the backdrop but what can never be overlooked is the amazing team that just made the day, you don't have to think about anything on the day because the team know exactly what they are doing and when they are supposed to be doing it. The food comes out piping hot to every table (we could write a whole book on just how good the food was, we still get comments now some 8 weeks after the day) no one was left waiting. Tables are cleared promptly between courses but never intrusively. This team know exactly what they are doing, there could have been a huge disaster for all we knew but we had every confidence they would just handle it in their "This is what we do" manner you just enjoy the day.
The day rolled into the night seamlessly, the staff always attentive and making sure everything is as perfect as it can be. If you have questions they have answers and you know you, your guests and your special day is in safe hands. Even though they do this week in week out they understand how special the day is to each couple, it never comes across as just another wedding to them, they genuinely want you to have that "special day" and they do all they can to deliver it for you.
So I think by now you might be coming to the understanding that we would recommend the Manor Rooms, and we saw a lot of venues but because of the location the stunning backdrop to it all, the fantastic food, the great team there was never really any other serious contender. We don't believe we could have ever had a better day at any other venue with any other team. And if you have read this far down then you really should be booking your day with them before someone else does.
Nothing was too much trouble for the team, from responding to standard emails (if somebody isn't in that day, somebody else will pick up the query and respond promptly and informatively), to the team being a part bridal support on the day - anything you need, they're there to help. All to make sure the stress is taken out of the day and you enjoy every minute.
They are professional, personable, likable, helpful, and gave us the ultimate confidence from day one that nothing would be too much trouble, whatever we wanted they would accommodate and all with a likeability factor that just resonates throughout the team. These guys know what they're doing, they love what they do, and that just oozes confidence for all.
Beautiful venue, super fantastic team, amazing food, we would not hesitate to recommend. 100/100!
