The wedding of our dreams
When I say this place is perfect I really mean it. We didn’t want a big wedding something small, intimate and gorgeous and it had EVERYTHING we wanted. The rooms are absolute perfection, the staff are incredible and the bespoke ceremony appointment was such a great way to add our own touch to the day. Pictures turned out amazing and our families loved it so much as did we. I cannot recommend cheylesmore manor enough….thank you for making the whole process easy and the day of our dreams!

Beautiful venue!
Our wedding ceremony here was just perfect. The venue is stunning, and the staff were incredibly helpful both before the day and on our wedding day. And all for a fraction of the price that other wedding venues charge!

An amazing day
From start to finish, we couldn’t have asked for a better service from the team. The building is gorgeous, not so the surrounding building, but clever photography puts paid to any eyesores! The ceremony was so comfortable, the staff made the day even more precious to us. Our registrar was warm and friendly. I would totally recommend the whole experience, thank you so very much. X

Our beautiful ceremony.
We could not recommend Cheylesmore Manor House enough, from requesting a visit to look around the different rooms to the day of our wedding everyone was amazing. Communication between ourselves and the ceremony coordinators were flawless and I cannot thank Kieron enough for arranging for us to have our ceremony streamed at such late notice! He really pulled that off for us which we will be forever grateful for. Our registrar on the day took the time to speak with my husband before the ceremony and was very personable which was lovely, she made us both feel very comfortable and welcomed. The Black Prince room was perfect for our ceremony, beautiful and stunning for our intimate wedding, our guests commented how beautiful it was afterwards. We really feel you understood us and that we wanted our ceremony to be special, romantic but also fun and not so serious. Thank you for being apart of the best day of our lives 🤍

Everything we hoped for
The Queen Isabella room is stunning, intimate and beautifully decorated. We chose Coventry Registration district because it has the most wonderful lookimg rooms of any register office in the UK. The Registrars and staff were very friendly and put us at ease.
