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.

It simply was the best day ever

Where to begin?! The wedding of my dreams and I have Viktorija & her team to thank. The venue and the grounds are breathtaking and so well looked after. Parley and Merlins were absolutely fantastic and their attention to detail/food/service was fantastic.Everyone was so helpful and nothing was ever too much for them.Communication was brilliant from our 1st viewing through to our wedding day. Viktorija was a superstar and the whole day ran so smoothly because of her. She is an asset to Parley.

A magical day!

Our day felt like a fairy tale, parley manor from start to finish provided the best service we could have asked for. I had my eye on the venue for years before us even getting engaged, I can’t believe we made it reality. From the staff, to the beautiful gardens, to the catering, it was seamless. Not many of our guests knew of parley manor, but every single one of them has said it was the most beautiful venue they had attended and incredible service from all staff. I wish we could do it all over again!

You can’t top this venue!

I almost have no words to describe how utterly perfect the day was. We have been bombarded with compliments from friends and family on the ceremony, the venue, the food, the decorations, the scenery and most of all, the staff. Nothing was too much for Viktorija and David from Merlin’s and all of the lovely staff throughout the day. They were always there when you needed them, without being imposing. The day was absolutely seamless and it was over and above our expectations. We couldn’t have picked a more beautiful and perfect venue. We want to get married again, just so we can go back to Parley!

The Perfect Day

We can't thank Parley Manor enough for making our daughter's wedding day so perfect. From start to finish everything was expertly arranged and Viktorija, our coordinator, was exemplary. The food from Merlins was absolutely fabulous and David was exceptional at keeping us organised and making us feel welcome and relaxed. They all made the day perfect we can't recommend them highly enough.

Best day ever !!

Parley manor really is without any doubt the best wedding venue in Dorset. The beautiful gardens and amazing grounds really impress from the moment you arrive. Second time round for us in our 50s and really wanted to have a day to remember.. From start to finish the whole team run your wedding day/evening effortlessly.. The getting ready suite for myself daughters and our two little flower girls was delightful. The ceremony was just how we wanted it from walking down together to our simple service. The food quality from merlins is first class.. so many guests commenting about the best meal they’d ever had at a wedding.. Our front of house for the day was David and he was so professional but great fun as we were a lively crowd of just over 100. The only downside was the next day when we had to leave!! We wanted to do it all again!! Thankyou Parley manor you are the best !!
