Stanbrook Abbey Hotel

Stanbrook Abbey is a stunning location with service to match. The wedding coordinator is excellent and immediately gave us the confidence that she was totally in control and made you feel like you were the only couples she was looking after!! The pre event organisation was outstanding including tasting the menu and wine. On the day there was nothing we had to do - everything was arranged just as we had discussed. Perfection. The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble - even looking after our Frenchies during the ceremony!!

We had the most wonderful wedding day at Stanbrook Abbey in April 2023 - we opted for an intimate wedding of 35 guests with our ceremony and wedding breakfast taking place in the stunning Great Hall and it felt so magical - all of our guests commented on how beautiful the great hall is and how delicious the food was. It’s such a great space for a wedding with lots of children as there is room for them to run around and play games whilst the adults eat and do the speeches.! We loved every minute of our day thanks to the wonderful wedding team who made it so easy!

We had a wonderful Spring wedding at Stanbrook Abbey over the Easter weekend. The architecture and grounds of Stanbrook are beautiful and make for a truly unique wedding venue - all of our guests commented on how amazing the venue was, and the Callow Great Hall especially is breath-taking. We can't thank Jodie enough. We initially booked with Caylie who was wonderful. When she told us she was going on maternity leave, we were a little worried that some details would fall through the cracks. This was not the case at all - Jodie was throughout the whole process exceptional at making us feel that every little thing was in hand. She was so attentive, responsive and friendly. It was genuinely lovely to see her on the wedding morning after months of helping us plan the most amazing day. Thank you so much Jodie. Clyde was with us throughout the entire wedding day and we couldn't be more grateful - he was so calm and knowledgeable and made the day go without a hitch. Thank you Stanbrook for being so attentive, quick to respond and helpful in the months leading up to our wedding and the weeks following - we can't wait to come back.

After many months of looking around, my wife and I made the decision to get married at Stanbrook Abbey Hotel. Initially we thought it was out of our price range but after a lot of researching, the package we got gave excellent value when you took everything in to consideration. Whilst all of the staff were absolutely fantastic at Stanbrook we do need make a couple of “shout outs”. Firstly is Clyde .. simply WOW, what a guy. He organised his team in a clockwork fashion and was simply outstanding and is a massive asset to Stanbrook, if possible you want him by your side for the day. Secondly is Liza who dealt with us from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and I would go to her for any kind of future family events to make the arrangements. A few of words of advice from us if booking Stanbrook for you wedding. 1. Book the manor house the night before so that the bride and bridesmaids are on site for the morning. It saves stress, it’s perfectly located and saves costs due to not needing a wedding car. 2. Don’t cut corners with a photographer and ideally get someone who knows Stanbrook such as “Incircles photography” as there are so many places to get great shots. 3. If you want the day to bump from fantastic to a fairy tale wedding, employ Secret Garden to dress the rooms. 4. Don’t worry about paying for the rooms that need to be taken as part of the package, we were worried we wouldn’t have enough guests staying overnight to cover the costs of their own rooms but this was not an issue in the end at all. 5. The house wines are excellent – don’t upgrade for the sake of it To summarise we were told that if you get your wedding day “right” it will be the best day of your life and I thought this would be a hard expectation to meet …… the Team at Stanbrook Abbey made this happen . Thank you Z & M

Our wedding was absolutely wonderful. Stanbrook Abbey was the perfect venue and we were lucky enough to take on exclusive use for the whole day and night. We had 110 guests during the daytime plus 50 more in the evening. We had use of 60 bedrooms and nearly all of our guests stayed over. Most people had never been to Stanbrook Abbey and were stunned and thrilled at how beautiful it is. They loved every aspect of the venue and this added to the excitement of the day. From day one, our Event Coordinator Jodie was incredibly helpful, organised, approachable and kind. Everything we asked for we got help with. The whole day went smoothly and we had all the support we could have hoped for from everyone at the venue. Clyde met us on the day and was excellent as was Isla who took over later. The organisation, wedding breakfast, evening event and every single part of the day was spectacular. All our guests enjoyed meeting up the next morning for breakfast and we wish the event could have gone on all weekend. They also enjoyed exploring the grounds and the bell tower the next day. The weather was really good for March so it helped enormously with photos around the gorgeous grounds. Another thing we loved was the food tasting we enjoyed in December. This was an incredible evening, tasting every dish and selection of wines before making our final choices. The chapel is a beautiful place and for a wedding cannot be beaten anywhere in the country - I am absolutely convinced!! We had an amazing singer called Jess Ridley who sang beautifully in the chapel and later in St Annes. The pavilion was brilliant - large and airy for daytime and evening. We had 14 tables and there was still plenty of space. We have nothing but pleasure in writing this review. If you can have Stanbrook Abbey and Hotel as your venue, you will certainly not be disappointed.

The team at Stanbrook were amazing. They helped to plan and prepare our amazing day. Liza was very attentive and thoughtful about what we wanted and how to deliver. We had excellent communication with her and the team and they went above and beyond to make us feel at ease with our day. We had numerous meetings to assure us and map out what we needed to do and to get things in place. Clyde managed the event on the day and was just brilliant. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Stanbrook Abbey for an amazing day!
