Highly recommend Highley Manor

Where to even start. Highley Manor was the perfect wedding venue for our intimate wedding. Honestly one of the best things about the venue is the team. From the tour with Jessie, it was clear that their main goal is to make sure you have as special a day as possible. There was no hidden costs or stress around making microdecisions, it felt like we simply paid and they gave their all to make the day incredible. Sophie our wedding coordinator was phenomenal and tried wherever she could to take stress off our shoulders so we could soak up as much of the day as we could, it wouldn't have been possible without her. She was patient, caring and very fun to work with. Zoe, the accommodation admin, sent encouragement as well as reassurance throughout the process and constantly reminded us to let her deal with getting the guests comfortable during their stay overnight. The food was delicious, the chefs did everything they could to cater for all the different dietary requirements. The wedding breakfast was perfect after night of partying too. The catering staff, the bar staff were all very pleasant as well. The venue itself has such a lovely outdoor ceremony area with a lovely backdrop, all the guests had so much fun taking photos throughout the day. The Manor house itself was comfortable and cosy and we had so much fun hanging out in the grand great hall after. Thank you Highley Manor, you will always hold a special place in our lives, thank you for making our wedding day one we will remember forever.

The best venue if you want a beautiful setting, we'll looked after, with a stress free day

I am so pleased to have picked this venue for our special day. The team an highley work very well together, and the preparation was seamless. On the day, any disruptions from guests turning up late or even evening guests turning up for the day, was accommodated with the least amount of fuss. Sophie was our coordinator and she clearly has found her profession. The whole day, the staff, the venue.....faultless

the best day of our lives!

Wow, Highley was everything we dreamt of and more! When we were looking for a wedding venue this was the only one we saw and we don’t regret it one bit! It was just perfect from start to finish and everything went so smoothly thanks to the amazing staff. They are just everything! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone. You will have the best day of your life. Special thanks to the amazing Sophie who was our wedding coordinator for the day and she was simply the best!

Couldn’t have asked for a better venue

I was so nervous to walk the aisle and for everything to run smooth and perfect the way I had imagined… having Samantha from the Highley manor team as our coordinator was my dream come true. Nothing was too much of an ask for her, me changing songs the night before, asking to add a chair to a table ten minutes before we sat to eat and having her decorate the entire venue for me with 0 photos to follow as a guide… she was just perfect! We were so unbelievably thrilled with how our day went and cannot recommend this venue and team enough!

A day to remember!

When I arrived with my bridal party, the venue was a hive of activity. Everything went like clockwork according to the itinerary. My wedding coordinator Samantha was very attentive. She made sure that everything ran smoothly. We had an amazing and memorable day. We cannot thank all the staff at Highley Manor enough and highly recommend them.

The most special day of our lives.

Our Wedding at Highley Manor in August 2024 was amazing. The staff were incredible, the venue stunning and the food outstanding. Sophie, our Wedding coordinator was fantastic. She was so efficient and preempted problems before they even occurred. Thank you so much to the whole Team who made our day, a day we will never forget. xx

Perfect wedding day

I cannot speak highly enough of Highley Manor as a wedding venue. From our initial tour to our special day the service and experience we had was high quality. The gorgeous house and extensive grounds are the perfect picturesque setting to share love with your friends and family. Highley staff were always available to answer any questions, no matter how far away the day was (or how stupid I thought the question was). They aimed to make everything as stress free as possible and really did manage to reduce any stress on the day. They work around what you want and make it happen. Yvette, our wedding co-ordinator, put me at ease. She filled me with such confidence that I was actually able to relax (self professed control freak) and enjoy my day. She was so caring, positive and gave good vibes! Every aspect of our day was completed to a high standard and for what I think is a very reasonable cost. I cannot fault anything and our day was exactly what we wanted it to be.

My Wedding day

I couldn’t recommend Highley Manor more, the venue is absolutely beautiful. If you’re fortunate enough to marry outside at the Pavillion, the views are just breathtaking and the aisle walk is lovely and long, it really gives you time to soak up your moment. The experience working with them was amazing, I am so glad we chose them as the venue for our special day.

No regrets!!

We just recently had our wedding here, and the venue is stunning. Food was amazing, and our wedding coordinator Yvette has been great start to finish. If your thinking of having your wedding here don't hesitate and book it. You won't regret it.
