Sue and I are both so grateful to the team at Parley Manor for helping to turn our wedding day into something special. Everything was so beautifully organised for us insomuch as we didn’t have to worry about a thing and were able to focus on our guests and our own enjoyment of such a wonderful day. Thank you for all of the lovely and unexpected little extra special touches and especially for the flexibility offered which really made us both feel like special customers. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Parley Manor to anyone who wanted to celebrate something special.

We would like to say a huge thank you for enabling our day to run as smoothly as it did. Every single member of the team made a conscious effort to support us on our day and made sure we had everything we needed throughout.

Thank you, Viktorija, for supporting us both especially during the morning when the nerves were kicking in! Tom mentioned how your kind words really helped him to remain calm on the day. We had the best day ever and couldn’t have wished for a better wedding day. Please send our thanks to the Merlin’s team also and David who was amazing at getting everyone in the mood and so attentive to us.

We had the most magical day. Everything was more than perfect to the point it exceeded any expectations we had. I felt like a total princess and you were all just so amazing. You’re great at what you do and we can both say we had the best day of our lives.

Charlotte & Nathan Saturday 20th April 2024

Wow wow wow, where do I start!?
Firstly, thank you for absolutely everything you did – everything went seamlessly and that is all thanks to you and David.

We had the most magical day, at a perfect venue, with the best suppliers. Our family and friends were speechless at how stunning the venue was and they all had an amazing time. A few people said that it was the best day of their lives – it certainly was ours.

We are so content with how everything went and haven’t really had the wedding blues because of that. We took it all in and just had the most incredible time.

Many thanks again!

The Gardens

Enchanting gardens, brimming with English charm

Our traditional English gardens will play a pivotal role in the making of your wedding day. The immaculately kept gardens and lawns of the estate will act as your own private sanctuary, providing a picturesque background for your wedding photographs.

The Italian Walled Garden

A little taste of Italy

Our Italian walled garden is undoubtedly our best kept secret, and yet still an area of absolute tranquillity. The garden is a meticulously maintained haven, which will transport you to another era.

Adorned with outdoor seating and garden furniture, our walled garden is the ideal place to relax with a glass of something sparkling on a warm summer’s evening.

Parley Manor History

A charming Georgian Manor house, preserved in time

Built in the early 1700s and lovingly cared for, Parley Manor will make you feel like you’ve stepped back to times gone by.

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. As you sip champagne in the traditional English gardens, you’ll be reminded of the countless celebrations that have come before yours, and your special day will become a part of the estate’s grand history.

The old and the new work in perfect harmony at Parley Manor. The manor itself provides a splendid backdrop for your photographs, while the canopy for your evening reception is well equipped to host a 21st-century celebration.

In close proximity to Christchurch, Poole, and Bournemouth, Parley Manor is well connected to the outside world, making it convenient for wedding guests. In addition, Parley Manor’s expansive grounds and clear blue skies will make you feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
