Description

Set within 9 acres of secluded gardens and picturesque grounds, you'll be spoilt with wildlife ponds, rambling woodlands and charming meadows. The surroundings offer you the perfect place to escape, immersing you in romance for your picture perfect moments. And, it doesn't end there - the Grade II Listed Manor House and a beautifully renovated Dutch Barn await your love story. At Solton Manor we have the choice of two (soon to be four!) stunning licensed ceremony spaces for up to 150 guests. You may choose the historic, picturesque ruins of the walled Godric's Garden with a beautiful oak framed gazebo for your outdoor ceremony or in the delightful Dutch Barn with its floor to ceiling windows overlooking the gorgeous paddock. Solton Manor, over a thousand years old and mentioned in the Doomsday book, offers something truly unique for your wedding or event. With a selection of spaces perfect for your wedding day, that include a pamper suite, dovecote cottage, the Dutch Barn, Godric's Garden and the Manor House. The delightful Dutch Barn has the capacity to host 150 people in a modern-meets-rustic setting, with a fully stocked bar and a stage with epic lighting options for your evening celebrations. Luxurious boutique accommodation in the Manor House and even a Dovecote Cottage for the newlyweds are all part of the amazing experience. Both accommodation options are available to book for multiple nights, giving you and 24 of your loved ones the opportunity for a multi-day or weekend wedding. The rumours are true, Solton Manor really does have it all and we couldn't be happier to share it with you.

All our guests commented on how stunning the venue was.
Well, what can i say about this stunning wedding venue and the amazing staff at Solton Manor.... The day Red and I turned up on the off chance of looking around this beautiful place we knew straight away this was the one. We were greeted with the lovely Jackie who we instantly loved. Her warm, kind, professional manner shone through. She showed us around the Dutch Barn and then the magnificent Manor House and told us all about the history of it. From this moment we were hooked. We then got to meet the wonderful Karen who was equally friendly and very helpful. And so it began..... The day was everything we wanted and more. From the stunning grounds to the magnificent Manor House, to the happy friendly staff and the fantastic team work from Karen and Jackie. We couldn't have wished for more. You made our day :-] All our guests commented on how stunning the venue was. Family and friends that stayed in the Manor were blown away with its beauty. Also i need to shout out to Teresa at Invitca Caterers based at Solton Manor...WOW...food was amazing and plenty of it so thank you to them. We cannot thank these guys enough for making our day as special to us as they did. We would highly recommend it :-] xxx

We looked at many venues for our wedding but it is impossible to not be amazed by the beauty of Solton Manor
Last weekend of July 2024, was the best day ever. We looked at many venues for our wedding but it is impossible to not be amazed by the beauty of Solton Manor as soon as you start the drive up, keeping in mind we first looked at the venue on a rainy day in February and then it was hard to believe what it would look like on a summers day but it looked absolutely gorgeous. We would personally love to thank Karen, Jackie and all the team there. The bar manager was great too, Karen was fantastic from start to finish of everything and was there to answer the many questions we had and if Karen wasn’t able to then Jackie was there. The whole team made sure we had a great day and we can’t thank them enough because genuinely was the best day of our lives, we had a big wedding with lots of guests and an even bigger party and every single one of them also complimented on the venue and how they all had a fantastic time too. Their partnered caterers were also fantastic ‘Invicta Design’ the food was gorgeous and the evening buffet was exactly what was needed after a big day and we can’t thank Teresa enough for again being there from start to finish.

I cannot recommend it as a venue more highly.
My husband and I got married at Solton Manor in April 2024 and I cannot recommend it as a venue more highly. From the moment we had our first meeting with Karen and Jackie we knew this was the venue for us; their warmth and passion really came through, and we left feeling that they would do anything to make our wedding day special and unique for us. And they did! The team at Solton Manor are absolutely brilliant, and couldn't have done more for us both leading up to the wedding and on the day. Everyone commented on how stunning the venue is and how friendly the staff were. We also stayed in the Manor House on the night of the wedding with our families, and it is just beautiful, and lovely to have a relaxed breakfast there the morning after the wedding! Also Invitca caterers based at Solton Manor are incredible - the food was sensational, everyone loved it, and Teresa was so lovely to work with. We cannot thank everyone at Solton Manor enough for making it the most special day of our lives, we are forever grateful 💖

Describe the best wedding that happened at Solton Manor?

Every wedding is special, it's impossible to choose! I love to see couples putting their own stamp on their day that reflects their personalities. Solton Manor is versatile so we are lucky to see many different styles of weddings, from all cultures.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Be true to yourselves. Forget the latest fads and what's on trend and make sure that your day is a true reflection of all the things you both love! Work out in which areas you want to put most of your budget and make sure your wedding reflects you as a couple.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

A real stand out for me is a Bride that hand designed all of the bridesmaids dresses and the groom's suit with amazing illustrations!

Describe Solton Manor in 5 adjectives

Exclusive - Elegant - Historical - Spacious - Romantic

Where’s the best photo spot at Solton Manor?

Godric's garden has so many, and we are surrounded by such beautiful fields too! But if I had to choose then the summerhouse on the lake would be the winner, especially at twilight.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Solton Manor?

We may have had a few, but our lips are sealed!

What’s your favourite canapé?

Our amazing Invicta Catering do so many lovely ones, but a favourite with staff and couples is the salt and lime cured salmon with dill and lime sour cream.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

There is nothing better than polishing off the sweet table for a late night treat!

What is Solton Manor most unique feature?

Our beautiful manor house! The original manor house is over 1000 years old, and many of the original features remain, such as the impressive inglenook fireplace in the Tudor Hall and the exposed timber beams in the bell tower. The house has been renovated and modernised over the years but its elegant history remains.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

The ability to create completely bespoke weddings. Couples could choose to host their wedding day with us or turn it into a family gathering, spanning across a few days and using all of our accommodation. Every wedding is different and our amazing team are dedicated to making each day special.
