We knew it was the one when we first saw it!
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our special day. Holly, Tom and the rest of the brilliant team made us feel welcome from day one. Special mention to Tom for making the day run so seamlessly, so professional and accommodating of all our needs.
The venue itself is stunning, located in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside. The Manor House makes for a tremendous location to prepare, and the Dovecote suite is a nice touch: a great addition for the groom to spend the last night. We loved the small details of the characteristic main venue, with the botanical feel to the bar a great backdrop to the barn.
It’s a shame we can’t stay every week!

A fab venue and team
Sandon Manor is a stunning wedding venue with a great team behind it. The exclusive use of the manor for the weekend was a highlight, allowing us to relax with friends and family in the lead up to and after the big day. The Sandon team were brilliant, guiding us through the planning process and ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day. We couldn't have asked for a better place and team to help us celebrate our big day.

Simply Stunning Location Made even better by the Professionalism & Personalities of the Venue Team
The beautiful Manor House, Dovecote and Annex provided our immediate wedding party with a well catered for, homely and elegant place to stay. The extended Wedding venue, ceremony hall, courtyard and Barn, is not least beautiful but providing a gorgeous backdrop to our celebrations and excellent options to personalise our experience. From start to finish we have had such wonderful and positive dealings with Sandon Manor and the Venue team with their simply faultless, professional and moreover warm & personable approach, at no point did we feel we were just another customer. Of course as the Bride and Groom we are delighted this was our experience but this is further vindicated and perhaps more notably so by the positive and favourable comments by ALL our suppliers and so many guests. The brilliant design and layout of the facilities and the helpfulness of the staff was mentioned many times, and with special credit to Louise, Adam and Roger who chaperoned our day with collective calm and helpfulness as well the pre organisation and attention to detail administered by Kate and her Team, including Holly & Tom from whom our numerous enquiries were always dealt with efficiency and charm. Of note, the new residential barn currently being constructed will add accommodation for an additional 30 guests which will be a huge bonus. A gushing perhaps but very worthy review… we can’t thank them enough or recommend Sandon Manor any more highly as your perfect venue.

A stunning Hertfordshire venue
We had the most magical wedding weekend at Sandon. From originally seeing the venue mid renovation over a year and a half ago to finally getting to celebrate our big day in the newly renovated medieval barn was so special. Sandon have done an amazing job renovating the whole venue, modernising whilst also keeping all the amazing history and charm of the house and the barns. All our guests commented on how stunning the venue was and our wedding party absolutely loved the house. There are not many venues you can find which have the versatility Sandon does to cater for both indoor and outdoor weddings and different spaces to use across the site, as well as having the luxury of the venue for the whole weekend to spend quality time with your friends and family in the house. We were very lucky to have got married in Sandon Church as well which is stunning in itself. The team at Sandon are also superb- a big thank you to Holly, Tom, Silke and Kate for all your hard work in making our day and weekend so special. E&T

The most perfect weekend
We had an absolutely incredible wedding weekend at Sandon. We always knew we wanted a place that gave us the gift of time and privacy. Sandon gave us just that. We stayed from Friday to Sunday, having the day before and day after exclusively with our nearest and dearest. The team at Sandon are so kind and will do whatever they can to make your day as special as possible. Everywhere is so beautiful, the manor, the venue and the grounds. We couldn’t have asked for better.

Our Dream Wedding in a Dreamy Venue!
Having viewed 9 venues in and around Hertfordshire we knew Sandon Manor was the one! It has so much to offer from; the luxury onsite accommodation, beautiful grounds and stunning spaces. From the first meeting, Holly guided us through the process detailing all options of where you can hold the ceremony. It’s hard to choose where to start but we loved the calm and relaxed atmosphere within the Ceremony Hall, having a separate area for our wedding breakfast made the day run so seamlessly, the long tables down the centre of the Barn worked so well providing a modern look in a historical space. The Club room is great fun and works so well when you have some guests that want to dance the night away and others that just want to chat. Our guests and family loved the character of the venue, with the beautiful Manor House made to feel like you’re at home; it was so special being able to have family together on site. The organization and communication throughout were amazing, on the day Tom & Louise went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and everyone could enjoy every moment.
Thank you so much to everyone involved we couldn’t have wished for a better day!

Easter Weekend Intimate Wedding
We had an intimate wedding at Sandon Manor over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.
The house was the perfect back drop to our wedding as well as housing all our family and a dog comfortably. The Sandon Manor team are a delight to work with and Marianne in particular went out of her way at to make sure we were comfortable.
We would have stayed forever if we could!

Simply perfection
From the moment we visited Sandon Manor we knew this would be our wedding venue for 9 September 2023. Seeing the spectacular finish of the house carry through to the completed venue just shows the high level of attention to detail this venue had to offer.
Holly, Tom and the rest of the team filled us with confidence right from our first interactions, annd went above and beyond on the wedding weekend itself to facilitate us, our suppliers and guests. The main house, dovecote, annex and extensive grounds were a wonderful way to have close family stay with us on site, and so handy to be able to all get ready nearby the morning of.
Thank you for making our wedding weekend a truly memorable occasion, for us and our families. We all look back on this day with the happiest, sunniest memories and Sandon Manor will always have a very special place in our hearts.

What a spectacular venue!
We had the most amazing wedding weekend at Sandon Manor.
The venue itself is the perfect backdrop for a wedding, our photos looked amazing from every single angle. There were so many spaces to make use of throughout the day which helped things to run incredibly smoothly and meant we didn’t need to have a ‘turnaround’ during the evening. The spaces really wowed our guests and created such a lovely atmosphere. Including the ‘club room’ dance floor that had our guests dancing until the very last song!
We stayed at the Manor House for the weekend, extending our wedding into a perfect weekend retreat. The house itself is beautiful, with lots of different areas for everyone to relax, and the perfect peaceful location to chill the night before the big day!
From our first viewing to checking out the day after our wedding, the Sandon staff were attentive, friendly and helped us feel relaxed and looked after throughout an otherwise overwhelming process. We’d highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful and unique wedding venue!

Superb, elegant venue and warm and professional team
We simply cannot recommend Sandon Manor enough! We rented the house for a few nights for the wedding party and it was an absolute treat to make use of the beautiful facilities and to take advantage of nearby walks. It was the perfect set-up for an intimate wedding and we enjoyed making use of the gardens, bar, ceremony hall and barn. All the facilities are decorated to such a high standard and we absolutely loved the layout as there was lots of space but it equally encourage people to mingle and get involved with the dancing! We will treasure all our memories from those amazing few days. The team were incredibly supportive of all our wishes and went above and beyond.

The most wonderful venue!
We had the most perfect wedding weekend at Sandon Manor in April 2024. The venue is outstanding – there are so many options for where to hold the different parts of your day and we were able to enjoy all the outdoor spaces in the courtyard and the lawns in the sunshine. The dance pod is also really unique. So many of our guests commented on it being a special venue. Being able to stay at the Manor House for the whole weekend really gives you the time and space to be able to completely enjoy your whole weekend with family and friends. And the Sandon Manor team were amazing in helping us plan ahead of the day, and making sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding and would really recommend this venue to everyone. Thank you so much for giving us our dream wedding!
