Absolutely the best memory I will never forget

Chylesmore Manor was the perfect venue for my wedding as it fitted perfectly with our personalities. The staff gave the best advises to us and were so lovely on our special day. I would like to say big thanks for making our day memorable and filled with laughter.

We had just the best day

The girls were brilliant from the first booking, to the end of the ceremony. We had a few hiccups- not their fault but they talked us through it all and moved appointments around to get us in (we hadn't served notice) and sorted it all out. On the day we were met by a lovely lady who explained we were running a bit late and moved me into the library so my future husband wouldn’t see me it gave us a great chance to have some great pictures of me and my bridesmaids. The ceremony was so lovely and personal and we were walked through it with ease. We had guests from outside Coventry and they al commented on how beautiful the setting is, not office looking at all!!! I would certainly recommend getting married there. Go for it!!! It was a breeze.

A perfect hidden gem to start married life together!

We chose to have a very simple wedding after years of deliberation about where to do it. I stumbled upon Cheylesmore Manor House registry office by chance and was surprised at how picturesque it is and how easy we managed to sort it all out. Started wedding planning in February and we married on 1st May. We had just close family with us in the Isabella room, which is intimate and provided just what we wanted. The staff at Cheylesmore Manor House were very helpful, friendly and accommodating.

Exactly wedding I imagined

We had a very small, intimate ceremony at Manor House, just 9 guests and thanks to the staff, I must admit, it was exactly what we imagined. From the very first appointment, everyone was very helpful and kind. We forgot to do the "notice of marriage " and our appt with the wedding coordinator was only 5 weeks before the actual wedding, but they were super efficient and did everything they could to help us to manage the time frame. On the day of the wedding, everyone was relaxed and in a good mood which helped to all our guests and us to feel really calm and chilled. The ceremony itself was in a very relaxed vibe, we had a funny moment where I misunderstood the word to repeat 😁 The building and the premises look fantastic at the wedding pictures, unfortunately the weather wasn't particularly nice that day so missing sunshine, but I'm loving the history behind the place. Thank you for a beautiful day.

Wonderful wedding and venue and Team

We recently had our wedding at Coventry Manor House, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The location itself is stunning, capturing the beautiful, rustic charm of old Coventry perfectly. Our ceremony co-ordinator, Sharon, was incredibly attentive, responsive, and sensitive to our needs throughout the entire process. She made sure everything ran smoothly and was always there to address any concerns we had. On the day the registrar, Jo and Sharon were exceptional. They made us both feel at ease and made the ceremony feel warm and intimate, creating a truly special and memorable day for us and our guests. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to help us celebrate our big day. Highly recommended!

We was a little cautious as we have a mute very active autistic 5 year old and a active 3 year old The staff was amazing all the way trough we pre warned them without girls as we knew they wouldn’t sit down for a long period of time and they handled the whole situation with care and compassion and our daughter was ok to freely move around trough out the ceremony which made us at ease and relaxed able to enjoy the ceremony absolutely 5star service from the staff to the beautiful venue absolutely cannot recommend enough Thankyou for making our day so special mr and Mrs king

Hayley & Lewis wedding

The wedding planning was so simple and easy with the help Of Sharon the wedding co ordinator :) . The wedding was planned to me and Lewis tastes and went Excatally the way we want it. What made it special was the live streaming , the photos and the music included for a price which I think is a bargain especially if you have your special day imagined how you like it. Would recommend cheylesmore Manor House to anyone who would like ceremony as similar to mine or just simple and tasteful. Thank you all so much!
