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

Focus on what matters most to you!

Every couple is different. Before diving into the details, discuss your top priorities as a couple - whether that's great food, amazing photos, a lively dance floor, or spending quality time with loved ones. Let those priorities guide your decisions.

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

When the Bride has a bouquet photo charm in her bouquet of flowers to honour loved ones or pets that can't be present on the day.

Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.

Elegant

Professional

Driven

Honest

Sophisticated

Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?

We are fortunate to have numerous locations that are equally picturesque. A signature Morley Hayes shot is over by the clocktower.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?

Unfortunately, not yet! We haven't had the pleasure of hosting a celebrity wedding or guest at our venue so far, but we'd absolutely love to. Every wedding we host is special to us, and we're always excited to welcome couples and their guests for a memorable celebration - celebrity or not!

What’s your favourite canapé?

We have lots of amazing canapés here at Morley Hayes! My favourite (Megan) is the Pesto chicken wrapped in pancetta.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

To satisfy those late-night cravings, why not go for a classic beef burger in a soft brioche bun with red onion chutney, or a tandoori chicken kebab served with warm flatbreads and mint yoghurt?

What is your venue's most unique feature?

Our outdoor ceremony areas are one of the most unique features of our venue. Couples can choose between our romantic Wedding Dome, set within a beautiful secret garden, or our enchanting Woodland Wedding Lodge, nestled amongst wildflowers and towering trees. Both offer a stunning and memorable setting for saying "I do" surrounded by nature.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

We are most proud of our commitment to sustainability and responsible hospitality. As a family-run venue, we believe in protecting the environment for future generations and continually work to reduce our impact, prevent pollution, and respect local wildlife and plant life.

Morley Hayes is a 100% recyclable site with no waste going to landfill, and we actively support sustainability through local sourcing, renewable energy initiatives, and eco-friendly transport across the venue. For weddings, this means couples can celebrate their special day in a beautiful setting that is both memorable and mindful of the environment.

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue.

We honestly couldn’t possibly choose just one - the best weddings we’ve hosted are all amazing in their own unique way. Each celebration is special to the couple, and it’s a privilege for us to see every wedding reflect different personalities, stories, and moments that make the day unforgettable.
