A perfect venue and team for your perfect day

I cannot praise De Courceys Manor highly enough! The team are incredible and truly treat their bride and grooms like royalty, throughout the entire process. In the planning stage the team were so incredibly helpful, with nothing being too much trouble. On the day they really helped to create a formal, yet relaxed atmosphere for everyone and all the little attention to detail really made the day perfect. Even after the wedding when the team were setting up for another wedding, we weren't rushed out and were able to take our time with our guests in the morning at breakfast and pack up our decorations in our own time.

Simply the best!

WOW!

When hunting for our special venue for our wedding day, still to this day 2 years later my new husband and I cannot get over the feeling we felt when we first drove up to De Courceys Manor. We both had butterflies in our stomachs and still feel like that today.

From our first meeting with Lewis, he was AMAZING. There are no other words we can use to sum up how amazing he was/is. Nothing was too much for him & he would answer all our questions that we had. The advice he gave and support we received from Lewis and the team around him was mind blowing. During the time of us wedding planning, I fell pregnant had our baby girl, and fell ill which resulted in me being in hospital a few weeks before our Wedding. Lewis and his team were so accommodating and supported us throughout. We provided them with things we would like and Lewis and the team at DCM got it done. They were fantastic, so understanding with our circumstances at the time and supported us through every decision.

Fast forward to our special day, everyone was wonderful. Abi, Nicola, Lewis and the rest of the team was so polite and helpful. Again, nothing was too much trouble for them and they would always make sure that we and our guests were happy. Lewis helped with the groomsmen putting on the buttonholes, Nicola (Hoping that we got her name right) to helping me with my shoes and dress. Abi being an all rounder and checking in on me and my bridal party the morning of our wedding.

The food was AMAZIING! Absolutely delicious, all the guests still are talking about the food nearly a month on! Also, everyone are still staying how amazing the day was thanks to the staff at DCM.

We could keep writing about how amazing the day and staff was but we would be here all day.

We would definitely recommend to everyone.
Thank you so much!

Wow!

The moment we viewed Decourceys Manor we knew it was the place we wanted to spend our special day,
Lewis & the team have been amazing. From enquiring to having our special day,
Nothing too much trouble and believe me I sent multiple emails with questions etc..
what sets it from the rest is its a lovely warm family atmosphere rather than just a “business”
Everything was perfect!
DeCourceys will always be our special place

Perfect Wedding Day!

To Abigail, Lewis and Team,

We would like to say a huge Thank You for our perfect Autumn wedding.
The De Courcey’s team guided and supported us throughout our planning and went the extra mile to help when the groom broke his foot the day before the wedding!

We loved every moment of our special day. All our guests were impressed by the gorgeous setting, delicious food and the politeness of the staff.

Best Wishes

Shaun and Sarah (The new Mr and Mrs Biggs)

Above and beyond in every way

Thank you so incredibly much for all of the help you gave us to make our dream wedding day come to life. From our initial consultation with Lewis, we knew the venue and staff were the perfect fit for us.

During the pandemic, you were so reassuring and unbelievably helpful when we decided to postpone the wedding for a year in the hope we could have the wedding we originally had planned. Booking the same date a year later was no problem at all and you truly put our mind at ease and eliminated any stress we were feeling.

Thank you so much for being so patient with my many, many questions over the past 2 years as the bride, the whole experience was so smooth and enjoyable in the lead up to the big day due to your calm, helpful responses.

The big day was the best day of our lives, we had the most amazing time and everything looked so perfect. The staff were incredible - a huge thank you to Abigail for taking us through the day step by step, we didn't have to think about anything which was exactly what we needed!
The staff were so unbelievably attentive on the day and the food was incredible, all of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it, and how amazing and helpful the staff were throughout the course of the day - they even helped my mum find a charger for her phone when the battery died after taking millions of photos!

We could not have asked for any more, everyone really did go above and beyond for us, and we know that De Courceys was absolutely the right choice for us. We all needed to let our hair down after a tricky couple of years, and we certainly did that!

So thank you so much for making our wedding day better than we could ever have hoped for.

With love from Kate & Steve.

Intimate Winter Wedding

We recently chose DeCourceys for our small winter wedding and it was undoubtedly the best wedding venue we could have chosen. From the first visit where Lewis showed us around the venue to leaving the morning after our wedding, the venue and staff were perfect the entire time. Abi and Lewis were always on hand in the run up to the wedding to answer any questions we had, they were so flexible in tailoring the winter wedding package to us and we always felt so reassured and secure in their expert hands. We met with Abi for our pre wedding consultation and she was just incredible, nothing felt like too much trouble, she offered us great advice and reassurance and is clearly very talented at what she does.
On the day, the service staff were fantastic, lots of our guests have commented on how amazing they were and that they are the best venue staff they've come across. The food is absolutely to die for and it was brilliant to able to give our guests so much choice and to know each course was going to be absolutely delicious.
My husband and his party really appreciated the drinks to settle their nerves on arrival too!
We want to thank all the staff involved in the fantastic running of DeCourceys and can't recommend the venue enough. Their combination of affordability, flexibility, personalisation, incredible food, warm hospitality and talented staff is truly exceptional and they deserve every award!

Our perfect day

We attended a wedding three years prior and I knew then that if and when we got married it would be here.
We booked our wedding over two years ago. Upon the first visit we were absolutely blown away with the kindness and hospitality of the staff at De Courceys. We felt comfortable, at ease and so relaxed. The manor along with the grounds are absolutely stunning with perfect opportunities for photographs!
Every meeting and food tasting session we attended (there were a few, the food is so amazing we just couldn’t get enough!), the staff were amazing and so friendly. Every email or query we had, Lewis responded quickly and helped us throughout our planning suggesting different ideas as we had no idea.
The run up to the wedding I felt extremely nervous as I didn’t have time to decorate the venue myself and I must say, the staff done an absolutely fantastic job, the rooms looked amazing, far better than I could have ever done myself! Every single detail was out of this world, it was nothing but perfect!
The wedding breakfast was outstanding, every course was presented beautifully and tasted incredible! The evening food was just as fantastic!
The day ran smoothly thanks to Lewis and all the staff and ourselves and all our guests had the most amazing day! The bridal suite was fantastic, the cottages were amazing!
Every single member of staff on the day were so attentive, even down to Nicola sewing my dress!
Thank you so so much to all of you, for making our dreams of the wedding come true!
We wish we could do the day all over again, there isn’t one thing we would change! Thank you for all your help over the last two years and for such an amazing day.

Perfect Wedding Day

Not quite sure where to start as no words could ever sum up our perfect wedding day at De Courceys. From the minute we walked in to the very special venue, we both fell in love with it. Thank you so much to Lewis, Abigail, Rachel, Mary and all of the staff who just couldn't do enough for us. Each and every guest commented on the venue, the most amazing food, the fantastic staff and just how perfect you made our day. We can't thank you enough, we loved feeling part of the De Courceys family. We will definitely have to visit soon, Mr and Mrs Jones xxx

We cannot praise this venue enough!

We cannot praise this venue enough!

We booked De Courceys Manor in 2017 ready for our wedding on 19th April 2019 and the experience throughout that whole time has been exceptional! Right the way through from booking, to our amazing food tasting session (at which all of the meal choices tasted incredible!), to the big day!

Abi was a delight to deal with and there wasn’t anything that we asked for her help or assistance with which was too much ??

On the day, everything went as amazing as we could have hoped and the whole team couldn’t have been anymore helpful if they tried....even saving me from a red wine on the wedding dress situation!

We would recommend De Courceys to anyone looking for such a beautiful wedding venue!

Thank you all again, we are extremely grateful for everything that you’ve done for us. We will definitely be joining you for Sunday lunch in the future!

Love, Mr & Mrs Read xx

De Courceys Manor is the place to get married!

Well, where do I start. De Courceys Manor is the place to get married! From the first visit we knew this was the venue for us, we didn’t even consider or visit any other venues, it was an instant yes! The venue was intimate, beautifully decorated and one of a kind. Abigail welcomed us to our show around and made us feel at ease and so relaxed. Throughout the entire planning process all members of the team were there on hand to help and advise us if we had any queries. On the final build up the staff went above and beyond to ensure all the final details were in place and perfect. We left the day before our wedding, calm and relaxed ready for an evening of relaxation. The big day went so smoothly. Rachel and Lewis lead their amazing team and ensured everything was perfect from start to finish!

A massive thank you to each and every one of you for everything! We are already trying to find an excuse to visit the Manor again. I need another delicious beef dinner.

Simply amazing

Simply amazing

We got married at De Courceys on the 23rd December and it was quite literally the best day of our lives. Everything went incredibly smooth-fully from start to finish.

The venue was stunning and beautifully decorated for Christmas. Every member of staff was incredibly attentive and gave outstanding service. The food (being the reason we chose De Courceys) was amazing - all of our guests said how much they enjoyed it.

A special thanks in particular to Abi for all her help in the organisation in the run up to the wedding, and also Nicola who was an absolute star - as were the whole staff on the day.

The apartment was lovely also and all our guests commented on the cottages and how nice they were.

Thank you all for making our day so special. De Courceys holds many memories for us and we’ll return as often as we can to relive the big day - see you on Valentines Day!
