Description
Description
This grand yet elegant, family-run, Georgian Manor house is situated on what was once a large country estate, stretching from Hurn Forest to the River Stour. Today, the grounds are made up of four acres of parkland and gardens, offering you an exclusive secluded wedding venue, situated on the Dorset/Hampshire border.
What better way to kick off your day than getting ready with your bridal party in our BRAND NEW Getting Ready Suite and Bridal Wagon?
Then share your vows in the company of up to 150 of your closest friends and family members, in our intimate Pavilion. Set in the centre of our opulent gardens, our breathtaking pavilion provides the perfect romantic setting for your ceremony. The Pavilion is draped with luxurious fabric. On a warm summer’s day, the sides of the Pavilion can be rolled up in order to reveal your scenic surroundings which lends itself to romance, and can only be enhanced by your own personal touches.
After your ceremony, you and your guests will be welcomed with drinks and canapés/ice cream in the English Country garden, whilst you celebrate being newlyweds. This is a perfect opportunity for your photographer to take the reins and capture the happiness of the day.
Your wedding party can be announced into the Italian Walled Garden where you will find our Main Marquee which will be beautifully set up for your wedding breakfast. Whether it’s a formal sit-down meal or a relaxed luxury BBQ you’re after, our in-house caterers can meet all of your needs.
Complete your special day with a disco or live music. Your family and friends will dance the evening away under our enchanted starlight canopy and enjoy a drink outside in the secluded walled garden and revel in the most amazing style.
Your select few can then stay overnight in our NEWLY RENOVATED accommodation and continue the experience through to breakfast which is served in our Dining Room the following morning.

- NNicky & Martin28/11/2025Best wedding day and venueBest wedding day and venueWe really can't give enough praise to this venue and its staff. The support and advice you receive beforehand was enough to calm any nervous bride. I always felt Viktorija and Merlin's Catering had everything under control even with last minute changes. The house and grounds are so romantic, the gardens perfect for a wonderful day and we loved that we had the whole venue to ourselves. The run through the day before was so helpful to do, we had some tricky timings with the bridesmaids’ entrances as one was the surprise singer... but all ran smoothly with Viktorija's assistance. I stayed in the wagon the night before... on my own even though there was enough room for four more and I had everything I needed to relax. Cosy bed, refreshments etc and I felt secure and got the peace I needed before our big day. The onsite bridal prep room and kitchen had enough space for us all to get ready and we arranged for breakfast to be delivered there, and the food was gorgeous. We were so lucky with the weather, a very hot August day but that did mean traffic was an issue and we did run late waiting for key family members to arrive, but not that I knew as all that worry was kept away from me, I only heard about it afterwards. Viktorija handled everything expertly. We could not have done without her. We had decided on the BBQ option for our wedding breakfast as I know that my family loves food and there was so much to choose from! We were so looked after by the staff, they always made sure we had a drink etc and checked in on us. Once we'd finished, we moved out of the marquee into the gardens allowing our band to set up ready for the evening... I didn't have to worry about anything other than chat to our guests and enjoy being with my husband. Being able to just walk to your accommodation and the beautiful bedrooms at the end of a long day/night was just perfect. Also, being able to have breakfast with your nearest and dearest and relive the day was so special too. All our guests praised the wedding venue and catering... not one negative comment and all said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to.

- RRuby and James22/11/2025Quite literally the best day of our lives. Quite literally the best day of our lives.I cannot recommend Parley Manor enough! The venue is so stunning it speaks for itself but the staff are stunning too! If, like me, you are an unorganised mess I HIGHLY recommend choosing Parley Manor as your venue. For me, they took so much pressure off which is extremely important during wedding planning! I was SO nervous for our big day but now I wish I could do it all again! Everything went perfectly. All the pictures are beautiful. The food was AMAZING. I promise you it’s worth the money. I hope to be able to come back as a guest to another wedding one day and be able to relive all of our happy memories (and maybe remember a few from the reception🤪) I cannot recommend Parley Manor enough!
