The most wonderful venue!

We had the most perfect wedding weekend at Sandon Manor in April 2024. The venue is outstanding – there are so many options for where to hold the different parts of your day and we were able to enjoy all the outdoor spaces in the courtyard and the lawns in the sunshine. The dance pod is also really unique. So many of our guests commented on it being a special venue. Being able to stay at the Manor House for the whole weekend really gives you the time and space to be able to completely enjoy your whole weekend with family and friends. And the Sandon Manor team were amazing in helping us plan ahead of the day, and making sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding and would really recommend this venue to everyone. Thank you so much for giving us our dream wedding!

Incredible venue, amazing staff - couldn't recommend it enough

We had the most wonderful weekend. It was truly better than we could've ever imagined, from start to finish. The day was totally seamless - I'm not sure how the team did it! They managed to make the whole experience stress-free for us.

The incredible venue itself, the planning process, the staff, the attention to detail, the list goes on and on - were all impeccable.

We loved all the different areas we were in, all perfect for different reasons, we love that they all sort of had their own vibe but still all tied together. The gorgeous ceremony hall, the amazing gardens with Sandon as the backdrop, the impressive barn and lastly the house itself which is just great for your bridal party to enjoy the weekend in.

We can't stop crying at how perfect it all was - we couldn't have a venue more 'us'. All our guests couldn't believe how beautiful it was!

An absolute hidden gem of a venue & accommodation

We were so happy we chose to have our wedding at Sandon Manor.
The venue itself is incredible and we loved that our friends all commented on how stunning it was and how fantastic the Club Room is. The day flowed so beautifully because of the separate spaces for each part of the day - ceremony, drinks and then meal & dancing.
The accommodations is absolutely beautiful - especially the Dovecote for our wedding night.

The team couldn't have done more for us and made the day even more special than it could have been - they went above and beyond....... Only wish we could get married again!!

Stunning state of the art venue


From the moment we arrived at Sandon Manor we were blown away by the decor and style of the venue. From the luxurious Manor House to the contemporary, chic ceremony hall and fabulous Medieval barn with night club! This is so much more than just a barn venue! Highly recommend.

Dream venue and team

We were so happy we chose to have our wedding at Sandon Manor. From the first viewing the team were friendly and attentive. They really cared about us as a couple and making the day as personal and special as possible.
The venue itself has the WOW factor, so many guests commented on how great it looked. The different spaces make the day run like clockwork - they really have thought of everything. The addition of having the on-site accommodation (which is stunning) is such a bonus and made the day stress free.
We would highly recommend Sandon and are so thankful to Kate, Holly, Tom, Silke, Marianne and Jayne for everything they did for making the whole thing such an amazing experience.

Amazing venue and team!

We first viewed Sandon Manor as an unfinished work of art, it was still in the building process and we loved it then so we knew we would love it even more when it was finished.
The team (Holly in particular) were super helpful, they answered any queries we had, we visited a few times and they couldn’t be more accommodating.
The day before we had a planning meeting with the team, we were so prepared for how our day was going to run and what to expect.
The day itself was magical, our guests loved the venue and so did we! Everything ran like clockwork and exactly as we had imagined.
We couldn’t thank them enough for making our dream wedding come true!

A perfect venue for a wedding

We got married at the end of September and we loved Sandon Manor. Having the venue for the whole weekend was dream- a family get together on the Friday, a wedding morning of dreams in the Dovecote with the girls on the Saturday and a day two party on the Sunday made the whole weekend feel very special.

Holly and Tom were a dream team and we can’t thank them enough for everything they did for us. They made us feel at ease and made the day go so smoothly- thank you!

My only piece of feedback is about the security that we encountered over the weekend. They were very overbearing and harsh on the Saturday night to a couple of our guests (including me, the bride!) which was disappointing.

Apart from that- a perfect weekend. Make the most of the manor as it is so beautiful- and the village is a great place for a Sunday morning hangover walk too!!

Thank you Holly and Tom xxx

Personal, flexible and 5 star

We found Sandon Manor before it even became the incredible wedding venue it is today.

After viewing seven venues across the whole of the South East we knew this was our dream venue from it's relaxed, personal staff as well as the best accommodation we've ever seen and outstanding setting.

It gives you the whole weekend to relax. Many venues we saw felt like a business (one in one out). It is luxury and rustic at the same time, not corporate in any way and is certainly not a wedding factory!

We got married on the 16th September 2023 and stayed in the beautiful manor house for the weekend with all our nearest and dearest. This turned a wedding into a holiday.

It was a privelage to feel like lord and lady of the manor. The medieval barn is a masterpiece but be sure to fill it with all the best people to make it an unforgettable experience.

In the lead up, Kate, Holly and Silke responded so quickly and efficiently to all our many questions and you could really feel the personal, family touch. The day and the day before, Tom and Amy made sure that everything ran like clock work and moved things round, where required to make the space worked how we needed it.

We couldn't thank you all enough for providing us with the most beautiful venue, grounds and accommodation on the best day of our lives.

Lots of love from Charlotte & Chris xxx

A stylish unique barn venue with so much more.

We were blown away with our wedding at Sandon Manor.
Firstly getting ready in the Manor House with our friends which is so sumptuous. Then our beautiful ceremony in the east wing with all our friends and family . Followed by delicious cocktails in the formal gardens and green courtyard and walled garden. The end of our day was spent celebrating in the medieval barn with a delicious meal , fizz at the cocktail bar and partying in the club room.
Our guests said they’d never been to somewhere so special and unique.
