The perfect venue!

We had our wedding reception here and from the initial viewing, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They were experienced in planning/running a wedding whilst still receptive to our ideas, allowing us full flexibility in personalising our day. The venue was clean and fit for purpose, some areas required a small amount of maintenance/DIY but not enough to impact on the day. The food was lovely (we had canapes, a 3 course wedding breakfast, evening food and breakfast the next morning). All our friends and family loved celebrating at Gray Manor and many of them stayed at the hotel for several nights. We are incredibly grateful to all the staff at Gray Manor for helping to make our wedding so special, all of the staff were so friendly and attentive but Jason and Lex really helped us throughout the whole process - thank you!

Our testimonial

Pre-wedding venue hunt. Searching for the right wedding venue at the right budget to celebrate your happiest day can be a daunting task and we'd never heard or thought of The Gray Manor Hotel until it came recommended to us by some friends who had nothing but praise for it. First impressions. So we called the hotel to make an appointment and were pleased with the friendly telephone manner and very warm welcome received when we visited. We arrived during their refurbishment period at end of season which meant our chosen date in the following spring would be met with a fresh makeover which pleased us even more. We immediately fell in love with the 'shabby chic' decor and furnishings throughout the hotel as well as the endless possibilities for photo shoots and entertainment areas in the extensive gardens which catered for all age groups as weddings should be. What sold it for us was the warm family atmosphere of the whole package which was reflected also by the staff. Everything just fell into place and we felt so confident that our precious day was in the most capable of hands and this was to be proven many times over. We were particularly impressed with the ethics of ensuring nothing was taken for granted, left to chance or a hidden costly surprise. Everything was available to us and nothing was too much trouble. From the onset we were advised of often overlooked details like 'wedding insurance' which turned out to be a valuable reassurance for such a small price especially as a Worldwide pandemic threatened our big day but was covered by our insurance. The Actual Day. As it turned out, our planned wedding date in April was suddenly halted due to the pandemic and subsequent lockdown however, the team at Gray Manor Hotel immediately put into place contingency plans to suit our needs beyond the call of duty. Our rescheduled wedding date now in August was also plagued by government restrictions but still ended up being 'The Perfect Day' where we were made to feel like royalty and all the stops were pulled to lavish our now down scaled day into being the best day ever. Being a family run business, the Gray Manor Hotel as a wedding venue prides itself on family values and understanding the needs of families and how important it is that the right memories are made and go the extra mile to seeing this happens. We are to have a full dress re-run of our actual wedding, with all the trimmings and hopefully taking place on our first wedding anniversary with the guests we were prevented from having there on the original day and have no doubt whatsoever that the wonderful team at The Gray Manor Hotel will make it as special and memorable for all the right reasons as was the original wedding day. Thank You Gray Manor Hotel. You are now a precious part of our wedding memories. All our Love and best wishes for the future. Mark & Connie Mr & Mrs MK Dance

Best day ever

We got married here and I honestly can't fault it. What a fantastic venue. Eli, Jason and the team were awesome and helped the big day run smoothly and couldn't do enough to help in the run up. We had nothing but compliments all day from our guests about the staff, the food and the hotel itself. I would highly recommend.

Amazing wedding venue

We had our wedding reception here at the gray manor on 13th October 2018 and it’s an amazing venue. Eli , Jason, Lex and the team are so friendly and helpful nothing was too much. From the planning of the reception they were always so helpful answering any questions we had or if we just needed to pop over to discuss any of the planning it was never to much trouble. The reception was amazing everything went so smoothly and the food was great which all our guests commented on what a great venue it was and there still talking about it now. Would 100% recommend the gray manor for a wedding venue. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special.

Perfect Wedding

From my initial booking with Lex the manager through to meetings with Eli the coordinator, the Customer service from these two was amazing. Their knowledge of weddings, ideas and understanding of us was faultless. Very accommodating and helpful I couldn’t praise them and the staff and the venue enough. The venue itself was perfect for what we wanted, it is a beautiful place I would certainly recommend to others. With this venue you are definitely given a personal service from a fantastic team of staff . Thank you

An amazing wedding!!!

We has such an amazing wedding day it couldn't of gone better. The venue was so perfect every thing you could ask for inside and out with rooms to stay, a play area for the children and lots of room inside & out. The staff are very polite and very helpful. From start to finish you're made to feel very special as if you're the only ones getting married there as they always have time to talk and give advice.My son & his wife were so very happy, I would recommend The Gray Manor to anyone. a perfect venue for a perfect wedding.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Gray Manor?

Every wedding is special to us, but probably one of the most unique and memorable has to be a recent Vegas themed wedding of our two very handsome grooms Dan and Liam. The couple had actually got married in a helicopter above the Las Vegas strip in secret, so whilst the guests thought they were attending the ceremony, it was actually a screening of their wedding. They had cinema tickets on entrance and popcorn for guests. It was revealed on a big screen and they had guests up singing the YMCA in the middle of the ceremony! They then went on to have a casino and a surprise flash mob at the wedding! It was definitely a day to remember!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don't forget what it's all about! It is so easy to get caught up in the details of the day, but try not to forget why you are getting married in the first place. Committing to the person you love, surrounded by those you love is far more special then any detail you can think of. Remember you can't please everyone, the day is about you and your partner, so focus on that and the love you have for eachother and everything else will naturally fall into place!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

We are a lover of the furry friend at Gray Manor, so a couple who had their dogs dressed in a tux and walking down the aisle made us all warm and fuzzy inside!

Describe Gray Manor in 5 adjectives

Quirky unique family run personal flexible

Where’s the best photo spot at Gray Manor?

It has to be our secret garden. A colourful spot full of character, set in our grounds, where we have seen some of the most special and unique photos!

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Gray Manor?

Yes Kate Winslet organised an event at our venue!

What’s your favourite canapé?

Fillet steak stroganoff is a firm favourite amongst our team.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

We can have a day of gourmet food and the best wines.... but when it hits midnight, you cannot beat a good old fashioned bacon bap! With a bit of brown sauce, it always hits the spot especially after a few drinks! The best bit is, you don't even have to stop dancing to eat it!

What is Gray Manor most unique feature?

We always get comments on our secret garden and the secret garden sums up the heart of the business! Unique, different and personal, we embrace each and every wedding idea!

What part of your business are you most proud of?

The personality and heart of our business! We are family run and all of our team have become extended family members. Each wedding is genuinely special to us and we are so proud that our entire team will always go above and beyond to make the day as special and as memorable as possible. We love getting to know our couples, what makes them happy, what makes them smile and then doing our best to keep that smile on their face for every second of the day. Because we are family run, we don't have the same rules and rigid structure in place as a lot of venues, so we are able to offer our couples the freedom to have their day exactly as they pictured it. We actively encourage them to become lord and lady for the day and treat Gray Manor as their very own manor house!
