The most wonderful wedding day
From the moment we first visited Gileston Manor, we knew it was the perfect setting for our dream wedding. The grounds are breathtaking, offering the most picturesque backdrops for our photos—every corner is a piece of paradise. The staff, especially the managing director Archie, and Jack the Head Gardener went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless. They were attentive, professional, and made us feel incredibly special. The Manor itself radiates elegance and comfort, making our guests feel both pampered and at ease. Every detail was taken care of, from the exquisite catering to the luxurious gardens and accommodations, leaving us to simply enjoy our day. Our wedding was magical, and we are so grateful to have chosen Gileston Manor. We couldn't recommend it more highly to any couple looking for a venue that offers both luxury and a personal touch that makes you feel like royalty on your special day! Thank you to the Gileston Team, we can't wait to visit regularly over the coming years.

The venue is simply breathtaking
We recently photographed Zoe and Chris's wedding at Gileston Manor and we cannot stop raving about it. The venue is simply breathtaking, with stunning grounds that will leave you in awe. We had an incredible wedding planner helping us throughout the day and it made the few hours we spent with Chris and Zoe run so smoothly. Also... There's bloody Llamas. Yes. Llamas. We really enjoyed our short but sweet time here, we'd love to go back.

What a gem of a place!
What a gem of a place! My daughter got married here recently and you couldn’t have wished for a better venue with its beautiful gardens. Staff were pleasant and helpful which led to a fabulous day. The owner went that extra mile when my wheelchair bound dad felt unwell. They brought blankets, a hot water bottle and a cup of tea. I really can’t thank them enough. Our accommodation was spacious and comfortable with a large bath, shower and tea /coffee making facilities. To conclude I would highly recommend this venue especially for a wedding. A big thank you from my wife and myself for making a special day for my daughter and her new husband.
