We had our wedding here 2 weeks ago, and I cannot express enough how INCREDIBLE Parley & Merlin’s were throughout the whole process and on the day especially. They put myself & husband first and made sure that we did not lift a finger on the day. Our glasses were constantly topped up without even asking. Little hints and tricks throughout the day also really helped. Everytime we had a question before the day they got back to us so quickly.
The venue, the food and the staff from both Parley and Merlin’s were perfect! We couldn’t off wished for a better day. And we’re both super grateful; as they helped made our wedding very special and a day to remember. Thank you so much again!

Parley Manor – May 2026 Wedding (66 day guests, 86 total guests)

We got married at Parley Manor on a Thursday in May 2026, with 66 daytime guests and a further 20 joining us in the evening.

We first booked the venue after attending an open day two years earlier, and from that moment the communication was excellent throughout the entire planning process. Our wedding coordinator viktorija was fantastic, and Sam, the Front of House Manager, was equally amazing. Between them, the whole day ran seamlessly and we felt completely looked after from start to finish.

One of the things we loved most was that we never felt rushed. Everything flowed perfectly, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment. Our guests repeatedly commented on what a beautiful venue it was, as well as the attentiveness of the staff and the exceptional quality of the food.

The facilities and thoughtful touches really set Parley Manor apart. From having Prosecco waiting in the fridge to essentials such as deodorant in the bathrooms, every detail made us feel cared for. They may seem like small things, but they made a huge difference on the day. I genuinely felt like royalty, and I think our guests did too.

If I had to pick one small criticism, it would be that the Manor House rooms were quite warm. However, it was an unusually hot day in May, and it certainly wouldn’t stop us from choosing Parley Manor again or recommending it to others.

Thank you to everyone at Parley Manor for helping us have the most perfect wedding day. It truly exceeded all of our expectations.

Beautiful location for a wedding, the day was perfect. Viktorija was wonderful, organising the day and making sure everything ran smoothly. Sam from Merlins was also great, managing front-of-house for the reception. All the guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how great the staff were.
