We was a little cautious as we have a mute very active autistic 5 year old and a active 3 year old The staff was amazing all the way trough we pre warned them without girls as we knew they wouldn’t sit down for a long period of time and they handled the whole situation with care and compassion and our daughter was ok to freely move around trough out the ceremony which made us at ease and relaxed able to enjoy the ceremony absolutely 5star service from the staff to the beautiful venue absolutely cannot recommend enough Thankyou for making our day so special mr and Mrs king

Wonderful wedding and venue and Team
We recently had our wedding at Coventry Manor House, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The location itself is stunning, capturing the beautiful, rustic charm of old Coventry perfectly. Our ceremony co-ordinator, Sharon, was incredibly attentive, responsive, and sensitive to our needs throughout the entire process. She made sure everything ran smoothly and was always there to address any concerns we had. On the day the registrar, Jo and Sharon were exceptional. They made us both feel at ease and made the ceremony feel warm and intimate, creating a truly special and memorable day for us and our guests. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to help us celebrate our big day. Highly recommended!
