- TToby13/08/2024Awesome all round venue in the heart of the forestAwesome all round venue in the heart of the forestI am the in-house DJ I have seen this hotel evolve over a period of 17 years so along with a couple of other wedding suppliers we have a unique view into this stunning hotel. I estimate to have DJ'd at at least 1190 weddings and events & over this time its been a true privilege to have seen so many happy people leaving at the end of the day. I have also held several conferences myself and also stayed, dined at the hotel many times as a guest. There is nothing the staff wont do to ensure that you are happy, the food is sublime & the hotel is always kept clean and there is excellent attention to detail. I personally think Careys Manor is the best cost effective wedding venue (for the level of service & professionalism) you can find in the New Forest & beyond.I am the in-house DJ I have seen this hotel evolve over a period of 17 years so along with a couple of other wedding suppliers we have a unique view into this stunning hotel.

What we really liked about Careys Manor was that there were areas for us all to be together, without being in separate places. And that those who couldn’t dance were still able to watch. The outside areas were pretty and private too, and the rooms just flowed!We loved the flexibility of Careys Manor, attention to detail was great and we were able to make the day personal to us...
