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.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE

The most beautiful venue, the attention to detail, the staff, the communication and the vibes were everything and more.

The grounds are beautiful, the Manor is a dream and everything in-between is just perfect

I highly recommend, I couldn’t fault a thing and they made our day truly something special

Attended a family wedding at this venue. The day went without a hitch. The facilities were great and the gardens were enclosed, so no need to worry too much about the little ones. 👍🤓

Wow. There isn’t enough words to describe how great the Parley team are. From booking the venue all the way to the day and even after, their communication, reassurance and ability to make us feel at ease is indescribable. Viktorija was our wedding coordinator, she gave us all the time she had. Walked us through the day, took care of everything on the day (so much so, we don’t even know if anything happened in the background), meaning we could focus on enjoying the day. -Laura & Connor

Parley Manor is nothing short of incredible – from the grounds, to staff, catering, accommodation, we could not fault it. What could have been an extremely stressful time for us moving our date around, they made sure it was done with ease and were nothing short of amazing. We can’t express our gratitude enough for their incredible flexibility and moving things around for us so last minute.

We had such a lovely day – all our family & friends have commented on what a lovely venue it was & how smooth the day ran.

Thank you for being so accommodating & giving us the best day possible – we won’t forget it!
