We had the most fantastic wedding day at Manor by the Lake. Everything ran smoothly, and that was down to the incredible staff who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect on the day. Siobhan was amazing throughout the planning process —her support and organisation made the whole process stress-free.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, both inside and throughout the grounds. The food was delicious, and so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Manor by the Lake to anyone planning their wedding.

The whole experience was first-class! We had the best, most perfect day and just wish we could do it all over again. The team of people at Manor by the Lake truly go all out to make your wedding the best it could possibly be, from the day we booked the venue to the time we said goodbye the morning after. I was quite overwhelmed by the personal touches, the food was exquisite, the rooms and venue were stunning! From the moment we got there we could just relax and know that it was all taken care of for us! Thank you so much for working so hard for us to have such an amazing wedding!

We would like to say a huge thank you to the entire team at Manor By The Lake. We genuinely had the best day of our lives and our guests agree that this is the best venue they have ever been to. From the day we visited the beautiful Manor, it was clear this would be ideal for us. The planning process went smoothly as the team shared their expertise with us and were very accommodating and flexible with our ideas. We were invited to different events such as a planning showcase where we had the opportunity to meet some recommended suppliers, and also to a food and wine tasting event which helped us in choosing our menu for the big day. On the big day, everything went according to plan. The banqueting team and staff at the manor were perfect hosts, and the level of service provided was first class – they were simply faultless which you would expect coming from a stunning Manor and its idyllic surroundings. We are so happy that we chose Manor By The Lake for our wedding, thank you to the team.

Eric & Elizabeth

We cannot thank Manor By The Lake enough for being the perfect venue for our special day. Not only is the venue itself stunning but the staff are incredible. There are too many to mention but we have to give a special thank you to Claudine who looked after us the night prior and all day. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she made sure I had nothing to worry about on our day. Being a COO of an events company this was never something I expected to happen! I had so much faith in Claudine and just knew she was all over everything! So thank you Claudine you’re an amazing event manager and I never had to ask you anything as you were already over everything! The feedback from our guests has been insane! They loved the venue and multiple people have commented to say it was the best wedding food they have ever had! Once again thank you for making our day so special and a day we will never forget!

Mr & Mrs Cavilla

From start to finish, the staff were absolutely amazing. The venue is beyond beautiful and truly is the most perfect place to get married.

I implore anyone who is even questioning whether to get married at the Manor or have it on your list. Pick them!

If I could do it all over again, I would!
