Manor by the Lake

We recently had our civil wedding and reception at Manor by the Lake and honestly could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our day. From the moment we first visited over a year ago, we completely fell in love with it. One of the biggest reasons we chose Manor by the Lake was because of the variety of beautiful spaces available throughout the venue, it made every part of the day feel so special and unique, from the ceremony through to the evening celebrations. The onsite accommodation was also such a huge bonus for us and our guests. The planning journey from start to finish felt effortless, and a massive thank you has to go to Joanna, who guided us through everything with so much patience and kindness. No question ever felt too silly, and she was always there to help, reassure us and make sure every detail was covered. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but the team genuinely made the process enjoyable. On the day itself, everything ran so smoothly and the team were honestly incredible. Rebecca was so supportive throughout the entire day and made sure everything was flowing perfectly behind the scenes, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy every moment. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about the venue, the atmosphere and how beautiful everything was. Manor by the Lake will always hold such a special place in our hearts and we are so grateful to the whole team for helping create the most amazing memories. We truly had the best day ever and would recommend this venue to anyone in a heartbeat! C&R

We had our wedding at manor by the lake 27/06/2026 and I cannot recommend the venue enough. Beautiful venue gorgeous location to get married and lovely rooms. Amazingly helpful staff who go above and beyond to make your special day perfect. Special mention to Ellie who made our vision come to life on the day and Duncan who coordinated the day so everything ran smoothly. Wonderful food aswell. Truly the most perfect day.

We absolutely loved photographing a wedding at Manor by the Lake. It's one of those venues that just keeps giving throughout the day. The interiors are stunning, with so many unique spaces full of character, from the grand gothic-style rooms to the incredible games room with its pool table and iconic red sofas. Even on a cold April day when we spent most of our time indoors, there were endless opportunities for beautiful, creative photographs. The grounds are equally lovely, and it's clear so much care goes into maintaining every part of the venue. The team were brilliant throughout the day too – friendly, organised and always happy to help, making everything run smoothly for both the couple and suppliers. If you're planning a wedding and want a venue with loads of personality, gorgeous backdrops whatever the weather, and a fantastic team behind it, Manor by the Lake is an easy recommendation. We'd love to be back again soon!

Manor by the lake is an absolutely beautiful location. On the lead up to our wedding the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and were always so lovely. Our special day was amazing and all that we had hoped it would be! Every single one of our guests complimented the venue and how amazing the food was! Thank you all for being part of our special day and making it what it was … a dream come true 😊

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a full wedding day at Manor By The Lake, from the morning preparations through to the first dance, and I was genuinely impressed by both the venue itself and the way the day was delivered. The manor and surrounding grounds are absolutely stunning, creating an elegant atmosphere throughout the entire celebration. From guest arrival through to the evening reception, the flow of the day felt seamless and well organised, allowing the couple and their guests to relax and fully enjoy the occasion. The team were a pleasure to work alongside throughout the day. Duncan and Georgia were both professional, welcoming and clearly very experienced, helping ensure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. The wider staff team were equally attentive and supportive throughout. The food was excellent from start to finish. I was fortunate enough to enjoy a three-course meal during the day and the quality, presentation and service were all fantastic. From a photography perspective, Manor By The Lake offers an incredible variety of opportunities. The elegant interiors, beautiful architecture and stunning grounds provide endless backdrops for natural and timeless portraits without needing to step far away from the celebrations. It’s a beautifully run venue and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Manor By The Lake to couples looking for a refined and memorable wedding day. Tommy James Tommy James Photography
