    Exceptional Venue!

    Booking with Manor by the Lake was the best decision we made! They were wonderful and incredibly helpful throughout the entire experience! They were very flexible, met all of our needs and on the day exceeded expectations for how they tackled unexpected hurdles that cropped up! Could not recommend them enough

    The best day ever - organised in 6 weeks!

    I cannot recommend this STUNNING venue highly enough. Tina, our wedding coordinator was an excellent organiser from start to finish. We viewed the venue having seen that a day was available at a discounted rate only 7 weeks ahead of time. When we viewed the venue, we were besotted straight away and booked the date then and there. On the day, Sophia did a great job of managing the occasion which allowed me and my husband to relax and enjoy the experience.

    My guests and I loved the food both for the wedding breakfast and the evening meal. The overnight guests also enjoyed a top notch breakfast in the morning. We were also treated to bottles of champagne on ice on the house as they felt the rooms weren't up to their usual standard however, we couldn't fault them!

    Overall, an amazing day - 5 stars easily.

    Dear Ally and Simon,
    It was our pleasure planning your wedding with you with only 7 weeks to plan, you were super organised. We loved being part of your celebrations and wish you both all of the best for your future together. Best wishes Tina and the weddings team

    Absolute dream wedding venue!

    Manor by the Lake provided the absolute dream setting for our wedding, and the incredible team made it a day we'll never forget. From the very beginning, Siobhan, the planning extraordinaire, was there with us every step of the way. Her patience with our endless questions (and there were many!) was a godsend.

    The venue itself is beyond stunning. We had ambitious plans to utilize nearly all the rooms and fill the gorgeous grounds, and the Manor by the Lake team embraced the challenge with open arms. Their flexibility and creativity ensured every corner was picture-perfect and the atmosphere was magical.

    On the wedding day, Rachel, the wedding manager, took the reins and made sure everything ran flawlessly. It truly felt effortless, which is a testament to her meticulous planning and calm demeanor. Rachel and the team truly smashed it!

    And let's not forget the food! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious dishes from the canapes to the wedding breakfast to the evening food. Manor by the Lake truly delivered a five-star experience on all fronts.

    Thank you, Siobhan, Rachel, and the entire Manor by the Lake team, for turning our fairytale wedding into a reality. We are eternally grateful for your hard work, dedication, and for making our special day absolutely perfect.

    We're already looking forward to returning for their festive Christmas / Valentine's lunch :D

    Manor by the Lake's reply:

    Hi Pragya and Charlie,
    We are delighted to hear that you had such a lovely celebration at Manor By The Lake, it was the entire teams pleasure to help you plan in the lead up to the day and to be part of your special day. Your decorations looked stunning. We can't wait to see you back at Manor By The Lake in the future.
    Best wishes Siobhan, Rachel and the weddings team at Manor By The Lake

    The most beautiful venue

    Wow - what a perfect wedding venue! I just cannot thank the team for everything they did to help our wedding day flow as well as it did. I didn’t feel stressed as I knew the team had everything covered, they supported me in trusting the weather when not everyone agreed and knew that was what we wanted so they found a way to make it happen - and the sunshine remained all afternoon! Nothing went wrong (that I’m aware of anyway) and most importantly, I would not have changed a thing. Rachael is an asset to the manor team, I couldn’t and wouldn’t have wanted to have anyone else supporting me on my special day. We appreciate you all so much and cannot wait to come back again for a special event

    Manor by the Lake's reply:

    Hi Britt and Ben,
    We are so pleased that you had the perfect day at Manor By The Lake. We loved planning with you and being part of your special day. We wish you all of the best for your future. Best wishes, Rachael and the weddings team x

    Wedding 5th April 2024

    Craig & I got married at Manor by the Lake on 5th April 2024. We only had 5 weeks to arrange the whole wedding and can honestly say that all the team, Becca, Rach & Tina especially was so accommodating & helpful throughout the process! Sadly due to my dad having cancer, they did everything in their power to make it such a special day for us. One of the main reasons that swayed us more towards them was not only because of the beautiful venue but how mindful they were to help us as a family. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We also brought some of our own decorations expecting Craig was the one to set it up in the morning, but that wasn’t the case! They did it all for us. I wish we could do it all over again! The food was phenomenal, EVERYONE raved about how nice it was! Thank you to all the staff who helped make our day as special as it could be. I’d like to say a massive thank you to Tina, for helping make this happen & helping accommodate us with whatever we needed. Becca, my email queen & organiser, you were fabulous from start to finish and couldn’t believe you were new to the manor! And of course Rach, top notch with timings, decorating & helping my dad before the ceremony, without you the day wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did. I cannot thank you all enough. Lots of love to you all, from Craig & Kim

    Manor by the Lake's reply:

    Kim and Craig,
    Thank you so much for your kind words, it really was our pleasure, from the moment we met you we loved getting to know you and helping you in the lead up to your wedding day and on the day itself. We really do wish you and your family all of the best for your future together. Best wishes Tina, Becca, Rach and the team at Manor By The Lake

    Couldn’t have asked for a better day!

    The staff at MBTL were amazing from the beginning of our journey with them (initial viewing) till our wedding day, and after. They couldn’t do enough to accommodate everything we needed and the venue captured everything we wanted our day to be. Extremely grateful to have had our special day at Manor By The Lake! I’m sure we’ll be celebrating future events there, too!

    Manor by the Lake's reply:

    We are so pleased that your wedding day was everything that you wanted it to be. We loved being part of your wedding journey in the lead up to your wedding and on your wedding day. We can't wait to celebrate with you in the future. Kind Regards Tina and the weddings team at Manor By The Lake

    A dreamy experience

    We cannot fault the team at Manor by the lake, I’ll they are exception and one of a kind. Our wedding day ran seamlessly without a hitch. The team we had on the day were absolutely fabulous! From the arrival at the cottage the night before to the breakfast the next day everything was done to such a high standard and the team were so welcoming, thoughtful and kind. Thank you all so much for helping us achieve our dream wedding.

    Stunning venue and great team.

    After seeing the venue and meeting Emma we reserved our date by the time we were back on the motorway!

    These guys were great from start to finish, they looked at all of the little details and took a lot of the stress from the planning.

    The venue is absolutely stunning and having the whole venue to ourself for the day just makes so much sense! All of the guests complimented how amazing the venue was. The food was also amazing as was the accommodation.

    Couldn't recommend highly enough! Couldn't imagine having gotten married anywhere else.

    Absolutely perfect!

    Manor by the Lake were outstanding. From the first time we visited the venue, through the planning stage and on the wedding day itself they were amazing. Nothing felt like too much trouble for them and they were so kind and helpful at every stage. We had the best day of our lives and a lot of this was due to Manor by the Lake. Thank you!
