We had our weddding here in the summer of 2004. Mrs McLeod Matthews is an amazing and down-to-earth lady and the historic and wonderful Elizabethan-era manor house of Chenies is her own family home. No mass produced or impersonal weddings here, such as in a chain hotel...

We got to have the perfect sit-down afternoon tea reception with pimms and pink champagne on the lawn, and sandwiches and cakes in the orangery. The beauty of this venue is that you can hire your own caterers and so on, so no corkage!

The garden is breathtaking - she does all the work with a few helpers! And a great location for wedding photos. It was a enchanting setting for a perfect day. We couldn't have chosen a more idyllic venue.
