- MMr and Mrs Davey16/04/2025An incredible venueAn incredible venueOur daughter Abbey married her lovely Matt on Saturday 12/04/25 at the stunning Rockbeare Manor. From the first visit when we were shown around by the lovely Andrea we all knew this was the place that Abbey & Matt would hold their wedding. Throughout the planning process nothing was too much trouble, any question however big, small or silly was answered. Communication with the staff at Rockbeare has been second to none. The Manor provides wonderful photo opportunities and is just beautiful inside and out. The amazing Leah was our wedding coordinator and what a job she did she went above and beyond to give Abbey & Matt their dream wedding. Leah led a team of young people who are a credit to Rockbeare Manor all so polite and professional. The food was truly delicious and our vegan guest said it was the best vegan wedding food she had ever had.

- KKevin & Erynn17/09/2024Rockbeare Manor is exceptional!Rockbeare Manor is exceptional!Hi Leah We just wanted to thank you again for the faultless organisation and commitment to making our special day so incredibly smooth. I’ve had countless amounts of guests coming up to me and commenting on how it’s the best wedding (and evening reception) that they’ve ever been to, and many more feeding back how amazing the food was. We could not have dreamt of a more beautiful day, which was obviously helped massively with the weather, but also the dedication and professionalism of your team, who are an absolute asset. We looked at a few venues, but Rockbeare was our first, and we found that with subsequent venues we were always comparing with Rockbeare, which told us in our minds and hearts that it would be the right venue for us. We are so glad we decided to spend our special day with you. Hi Leah We just wanted to thank you again for the faultless organisation and commitment to making our special day so incredibly smooth.

- AAshleigh and Chris17/09/2024Truly incredible!Truly incredible!Dear Davy, Now that the madness of the wedding is over, we just wanted to take the time to say thank you so much for absolutely everything. We knew that the staff and the venue were exceptional from the moment we booked you, but the actual day truly exceeded our expectations and then some. I am sure that there are countless people working away in the background that also deserve our profound thanks, but it to you that we wish to extend the biggest thanks of all - you have been relentless in your dedication to our happiness and our vision for the day. Thank you so much, there are no words. We can tell that it is not just a job for you, but a calling. There really no other words to describe what you did for us, and what keeps you showing up for work every single day making people feel like they are the only wedding you are overseeing, when in reality, we know that there are countless. We may only be one of the many weddings you will be a part of this year (or this decade!) but this will be our only one, and you really made us feel for the whole year like our wedding was the only one in the world. Thank you again, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the wedding season and that you, and Rockbeare, continue to receive all the accolades that you so truly deserve.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
It really is almost impossible to answer - every wedding is wonderful! The bond we form with the Brides and Grooms is really unique which makes it all the more special on the day. The very first wedding we ever did, in August 2016 was amazing though. It went so smoothly, without a hitch and it was a very memorable moment.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Make sure that your photographer comes recommended (your venue will always be able to help with this), and if budget allows, hire a videographer too. These will be the two things that will mean that you will be able to look back and relive your wedding day over and over.
And, trust your suppliers. They are the experts and will be the ones that will make your wedding run like a dream.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
It's the personal details that make each and every wedding so memorable. One of my favourites was when the Bride and Groom (who had got engaged on a llama treck and generally loved the gentle animals) invited two llamas along for the group photos during the drinks reception. They had pretty floral hoops around their necks and it was certainly a talking point that day!
Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
Immaculate, Welcoming, Luxurious, Historic, Uncluttered
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
You can't beat a photo at the front of Rockbeare Manor. Our Grade I listed house is so pretty - and it looks almost like something out of a Jane Austin period drama - it really is the perfect photo backdrop. But, I also love a photo of the newlyweds along our driveway, especially in Autumn - the colours are amazing!
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
Guests have included Olympians Tom Daley and Tonia Couch as well as singer Joss Stone.
What’s your favourite canapé?
It's hard to choose but my favourite two would be the 'fillet of beef pan-fried in Dijon cream, on crostini' and also 'sesame halloumi with chilli jam' which is a really great vegetarian option.
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
Chocolate! Always.
Our chefs make the most wonderful chocolate brownie which is very hard to resist.
What is your venue's most unique feature?
Rockbeare Manor is special in many ways - but the Manor House itself is so striking and instantly recognisable. It looks like something out of a period drama - picture perfect and the most stunning of backdrops for a wedding.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
The team! They are amazing, and will go above and beyond for our Brides and Grooms. The level of service they provide is second to none.
