- AAdam04/07/2025The perfect wedding! 🤩The perfect wedding! 🤩We had our wedding at Eastwell Manor in July 2024 and it was INCREDIBLE! From the planning process, Helen and Dawn were absolutely brilliant in the initial stages getting the date booked in, organising the majority of the day and liaising with us for details such as getting the rooms booked for our guests. They were so so helpful and we came to Eastwell a few times and they gave us their time to talk through things, and we felt so welcome every visit. Closer to the day, Chris got involved and the excellent service continued. He did our food tasting (the food is unbelievable!). We decided on offering a few choices for our guests, including lamb, pork, chicken and vegetarian, and all of our guests said the food was exceptional! Chris also spent time with us ironing out the finer details and how the day will run. Then the day arrived, and thanks to the help of all the Eastwell staff, we were properly organised and relaxed on the day (apart from the threat of rain, but it did brighten up just in time!). Every member of staff, including Helen, Dawn and Chris put so much time and effort into our wedding on the day to bring it all together, and we couldn't be more appreciative! We also had the pleasure of having Jim as our master of ceremonies, who was amazing! Such a great character, kept everyone informed of proceedings and did it all with a smile and great humour! We opted for an outdoor wedding ceremony, the garden is stunning! We had the marque for our wedding breakfast, and for the reception. It all came together so perfectly, and we have the whole crew at Eastwell to thank for that. The building itself is so so beautiful, and we couldn't have picked a better venue! Staying over felt like royalty, and we saw most of the wedding team the next day and they once again were willing to give up some time to speak to us, say how wonderful the day was and made us feel so special, even though technically their job was done, they still had the time to come and see us. We made full use of the spa facilities including the outdoor pool, and we did not want to leave. We can't wait to come back and celebrate our one year anniversary there next month! Given the power to go back to the very beginning, we'd pick Eastwell every time!We had our wedding at Eastwell Manor in July 2024 and it was INCREDIBLE!

- HHenrietta Lockett21/05/2025Best day of our lives Best day of our livesWe got married at Eastwell Manor on 7th July 2024. We thought we would be guaranteed sunshine but it did slightly rain in the morning of the wedding. We had planned to get married outside on the lawns but the weather changed that, so we opted for the internal room. We had 90 guests and the room was packed with a string quartet and couldn’t have been more beautiful - when it was a plan b back up. Luckily the sun then came out and we managed to have our first kiss and confetti moment out on the lawn as planned. We had our wedding breakfast in the outdoor marquee which was stunning. The venue was just overwhelmingly beautiful and just as we imagined our wedding day would be. Having all the options throughout the day gave us such a varied wedding day with loads of stunning photos. We wanted to make the most of what the venue had to offer. Our photos speak a thousand words but can’t thank the team at Eastwell Manor enough helping us arrange the most perfect day of our lives.We got married at Eastwell Manor on 7th July 2024.

The whole team at Eastwell Manor looked after my family and friends so well, when it rained on the day and we had to change our plans to Plan B- I didn't have to worry about anything, as everything was being sorted while I was getting ready. The rooms are so beautiful to stay in and the food is absolutely delicious. We had our reception in the tent and it was so magical at night with the lights. Jim, the Toastmaster, was an absolute icon and kept the laughs rolling in. We are forever grateful to the team at Eastwell Manor for helping us have a stress-free wedding.

- EEmma Smith28/04/2025Our Christmas wedding at Eastwell Manor 🎄❤️Our Christmas wedding at Eastwell Manor 🎄❤️After getting engaged on my 40th birthday, we decided we wanted a Christmas wedding and wanted to plan it within a year. We had Eastwell Manor as one of our venue choices and after viewing it in December 23 (when it was decorated for Xmas) we completely knew it was ‘the one!’. Throughout the year of planning, Dawn and Helen were amazing. Responded to emails etc quickly, helped wherever needed, and it was lovely to have a menu tasting session in a private room. I stayed in the bridal suite the night before. A few of us had dinner in the bar which was very relaxing. The room/suite was beautiful. The bath was amazing (see photos) and I had a lovely morning getting ready for the day ahead. Our wedding was so special. To be surrounded by our guests in such a fabulous venue so beautifully decorated for Christmas, it was magical. Everyone said how great it was. The food taste delicious and was presented well. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. My husband and I stayed in the bridal suite that night and it was just great. I would 100% recommend this venue. Id also recommend a Christmas wedding as the atmosphere is something else.
