    Absolute Dream April Wedding, huge thank you to the Highley Team ✨🥂🎉

    We got married end of April at Highley Manor and honestly had the day of dreams ✨💍 from meeting Jess in July 2025 (who is absolutely incredible by the way, an absolute asset to HM) on our first venue viewing… to arranging our final details meeting with Paige (the best co-ordinator we could have ever asked for). The whole team including the evening takeover staff went above and beyond dealing with everything in their stride and keeping everything under control and everyone safe & happy. We are forever grateful to have had such an incredible, special and unforgettable Wedding Day full of laughter, happiness & lifelong precious memories. The food was delicious, the venue spotless and stunning, the DJ was spot on. Our Co-Ordinator Paige was calm, professional, lovely and completely on top of things. She kept the day running smoothly and made us feel at ease instantly. We fell in love with Highley Manor the moment we saw it and are so glad we chose this venue. Highley Manor know how to host a Wedding and somehow manage to make sure each wedding is different and the venue personal to you.

Huge compliments to the chef for the food, all our guests agreed that the food was amazing and the portion sizes were very generous. The service was exceptional from everyone at Highley, a special mention to our coordinator Sam who made sure our day ran smoothly, nothing was a problem, she was extremely helpful and we are so grateful to have had her on our day. We would recommend Highley to anyone!

    A truly perfect day!

    Our wedding at Highley Manor was truly perfect. The venue itself is stunning, but what really made the experience exceptional was the team behind it, especially Yvette. Every detail was handled so professionally, calmly and smoothly that we were able to completely relax and enjoy the day with our friends and family.

    From the planning stages right through to the evening, everyone was so kind and helpful, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. We had amazing feedback from all of our guests, many saying it was one of the best weddings they had attended.

    A huge thank you to the entire Highley Manor team for making our wedding feel so magical and effortless. We are incredibly grateful.

    The most perfect wedding day

    We had our wedding here on 12th April, and could not have asked for a better venue. The location and views are absolutely stunning. The food was delicious too, all our guests commented on how great it was. But what stood out the most for us was how amazing the staff are at Highley Manor, especially our co-ordinator Yvette, who made sure that our day really was perfect. Thank you so much!

    Truly Amazing Venue with an Incredible Team

    We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing wedding venue. From start to finish, everything was seamless and so well organised it genuinely made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable.

    A special shoutout to Lucy, our coordinator, who was absolutely fantastic throughout. Her attention to detail, calm approach, and support on the day made all the difference.

    Thank you so much to the entire team for helping make our day so special. We’d 100% recommend this venue to anyone looking for the perfect place to celebrate.

    A March Wedding

    Highley Manor was the perfect venue!

    We chose to get married at Highley Manor because of the warmth of the staff and the beauty of the house and grounds.
    From the first moment we visited, we felt like celebrities. The staff were attentive and warm, offering guidance and advice the whole way through our planning process.
    Planning a wedding can be hugely intimidating and stressful, but the team at Highley Manor made it so much easier.
    The actual wedding day was a dream come true! We were fortunate enough to get married outside, at the beautiful pavilion, and our coordinator - Paige - was so, so helpful throughout the whole day!
    All of our guests remarked what a fantastic venue Highley Manor was and we couldn’t recommend them enough!
    You won’t regret choosing Highley Manor as your venue!

    Amazing venue!

    We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue than Highley Manor. From the moment we arrived, everything felt so special, and having the entire venue to ourselves was absolute bliss—it made the whole day feel so intimate and personal.
    A huge thank you to Sam, who was fantastic from start to finish. She was so kind and welcoming, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Every request we had was handled with care, and the team were incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process, which made everything feel completely stress-free.
    The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. It created the most stunning backdrop for our day and required very little extra to make it feel magical.
    The team worked so efficiently behind the scenes that everything flowed perfectly without us having to worry about a thing.
    The food was incredible and received so many compliments from our guests. A special highlight for us was our wedding “cake” — a large pavlova that we chose instead of a traditional cake. Not only did it look amazing, but it tasted absolutely incredible and made our cake-cutting moment even more memorable.
    We’re so grateful to everyone at Highley Manor for making our day so special. It truly was everything we hoped for and more.

    What a fantastic day!

    My new wife and I massively enjoyed our wedding day at Highley Manor. The staff were so friendly and attentive, everything went very smoothly to plan and had no issues at all.
    Sam was our wedding coordinator and was brilliant, and in the evening handed over to her colleague Ellis who was also fantastic!
    Everything ran like a smooth operation and very efficient. Would definitely recommend. Also the breakfast in the morning after was so good and our guests really enjoyed this, as well as all the other food we had on the day.

    Thank you to the Highley team!

    The most amazing day!

    The venue is absolutely stunning, every time we visited we fell in love with it some more. The staff are so friendly and kind and went above and beyond to ensure our day went perfectly, taking the stress away from us so that we could relax and enjoy the day. The food was amazing for the canapes, wedding breakfast and the breakfast the morning after. The rooms are stunning, well equipped and so comfortable.

    The day couldn't have gone any better, we are truly so grateful to our wedding co-ordinator Lucie for going above and beyond and helping us to achieve the wedding of our dreams!

    10/10 on every count

    We honestly cannot thank Highley Manor enough for giving us the most incredible wedding day. From start to finish, everything was beautifully organised and flawlessly executed, and we are so grateful to the entire team.

    A huge special thank you to Sam, who was quite simply the best wedding coordinator we could have asked for. So many things were taken care of in the lead-up and on the day itself, often without us even realising, which is exactly how it should be. Sam’s calm, organised approach meant the day ran seamlessly and allowed us to completely relax and enjoy every single moment.

    The whole team on the day were outstanding. Everything ran like a well-oiled machine, with smooth transitions throughout. So many of our guests commented on how well the day flowed and how effortlessly everything was managed.

    A big shout-out as well to Ellis, who was an absolute legend, such a great sport, joined in the fun with us, and was brilliant throughout the day.

    The venue itself is stunning, and the food was genuinely 10/10. Guests are still talking about the evening food, the rooms were lovely, and the overall experience exceeded every expectation. If we had the choice all over again, we would choose Highley Manor without hesitation.

    We cannot recommend Highley Manor highly enough and will be recommending it to everyone we know. Thank you for making our wedding day so special.

    Beth & Dan 🤍
