There's everything you need for a day you've always dreamed about in this private, family run venue. Merrydale Manor is approached by a long, sweeping drive and is nestled on 300 acres of beautiful countryside. There's a makeup suite which is a sensational space to get aisle-ready, plus the cave for your wedding party to relax in before the ceremony. If you choose to get married on the estate, there's a gorgeous Ceremony Room with glass backdrop overlooking open parkland and featuring oak beams and limestone floors.

Where do we start??? If you’re looking to get married this is the one!! Only venue we viewed as we fell in love with it straight away and had it booked before we left! The location, the grounds, the manor and its surroundings are perfect! From the day of booking the staff have been unbelievable , nothing was too much for them, they are all very polite and friendly, happy to help with any query! Our guests had no faults and loved how organised and well run the day was, Like clockwork! We can’t thank Merrydale enough for creating the perfect wedding day! We wish we could do it all over again!

The perfect day
I honestly could not have asked for a better day! The staff were so attentive, the only time I was stressed was an hour before the ceremony (due to nerves and running late), after that so many guests told me how relaxed I looked throughout the day. The staff took care of everything! I didn’t receive a lot of communication until right before my wedding (although this is normal), but every time I had a question or wanted advice they were quick to reply to my emails! The guests loved Merrydale too, I received none stop compliments throughout the day and after. I wish I could do it all over again and I wouldn’t have picked anywhere else!
