The Stately Manor sets the prefect scene for your wedding celebrations. The peaceful parkland and lawns sweep gently down to a huge ornamental lake and lakeside temple.
The formal gardens are laid out in the style of the Edwardian period, enclosed with stone terraces, balustrades and hedging creating intimate rooms within the garden including water features and topiary. There is also a delightful Elizabethan walled garden.
The Stately Manor itself is nothing short of spectacular. Imagine… Exchanging vows in a solid oak paneled library surrounded by bookshelves, beautiful oak flooring and a scumball finished carved ceiling. Reception drinks and canapés enjoyed in a room with a high stuccoed ceiling, crystal chandelier and marble fireplaces in conjunction with another room decorated in hand painted Italian wall paper. Dinner and evening celebrations in a hall impressively transformed with inner marquee lining where you and your guests can dance the night away.
A wedding at the Stately Manor will be remembered forever, and for all the right reasons.
