Venue & service you provide is incredible!

Thank you so much for helping us achieve the wedding of our dreams! Your venue & the service you provide is incredible. The gardens looked beautiful & the marquees provided the perfect setting.
Not only on the day, in the run up to our big day we had every confidence in your team, from the moment we booked nothing was too much trouble!
Nikki, thank you for being the perfect host on the day. You made my parents & us feel very at ease & took care of the minor details perfectly.
Parley Manor exceeded all expectations we had, we couldn't of wished or asked for more. We can't thank you enough for creating such amazing memories for us that we will treasure for a lifetime. We have had nothing but fabulous comments from our guests!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

All the staff were fantastic

‘Hi Nikki- I just wanted to say a massive thank you for being so amazing on our wedding weekend. You were an absolute sweetheart from start to finish and so professional, i really wasn’t expecting so much help and guidance the day before or on the day.
All the staff were fantastic, I can honestly say that. But special mention has to go to David. What a complete gentleman, consummate professional, exceptional at his job and most importantly, his main aim was to make sure our day went smoothly. The Bride’s mother was telling a story the next day of how she missed the coffee, and 2 mins later David appeared with a coffee! Just brilliant, little things like that meant sure our guests had a great time, and they have not stopped telling us how they loved the day.
Keep doing what you’re doing guys, you are giving people the happiest day of their lives!’
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
