Serena Sent on 09/08/2024Stunning, professional wedding venue
Jo, Harry and the Team were absolutely amazing on our wedding day I could not have asked for anything more. The professionalism, care and kindness that was shown to us and our guests from the beginning of the process and throughout was incredible. The food was divine - the atmosphere amazing - the location and grounds... STUNNING!
Nothing was too much for them and the prep, execution was incredible.
Dietary requirements for people are such a big thing, the chef took her time to go through all of the options to make sure that myself and the guests were able to have meals that matched those requirements that were still to a high quality and nothing felt like an after thoughtLeonardslee Wine Estate's reply:

Suzie Sent on 26/10/2025We're so glad we chose Leonardslee Wine Estate as our venue
From the moment we drove into the grounds and met Jo, we knew this venue was was where we were going to get married. From the initial meeting through to the day and after, Jo and the Leonardslee team helped us feel at ease, answered any questions (no matter how silly) we had and supported us throughout the whole journey. Our wedding day was easily the best day of our lives and choosing Leonardslee Wine Estate was a huge part of that.Leonardslee Wine Estate's reply:
Dear Suzie and Alex,
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! It was an absolute pleasure. We all look forward to welcoming you back to the estate for a glass of wine soon!
Kind regards

Nigel Sent on 23/10/2025Vow Renewal
We renewed our vows after 32 years happily married to celebrate a new phase of our lives. The Mannings Heath crew were excellent from start to finish and in the middle too. Very accommodating to our needs and our requirements for a bespoke day and evening which didn’t involve a disco! Food throughout was lovely from canopies to main dinner to evening platters of cheese, ham. On the day the team were very attentive to our needs.
The evening we used Jane’s events with Martin the Magician, a Casino night plus the obligatory photo mirror 😊. All well received by our guests and helped make the day extra special.
We used all the bedroom which are all very boutique and boujee and a lovely surprise to end the day.
A banquet breakfast the next morning helped complete a wonderful experience.
Thank you to Jo, Kelly, Harry and the team at Mannings Heath.

Tom Sent on 08/08/2025Unforgettable Wedding Experience at Leonardslee Wine Estate
We had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Leonardslee Wine Estate in August and we can’t speak highly enough of the entire experience.
The professionalism, responsiveness, and flexibility of the team stood out. Jo, our Events Manager, was a joy to work with - efficient, calm, and incredibly organised. She helped guide us through every detail and was always quick to respond to any questions we had, making the whole planning process feel easy and enjoyable. Harry, the Front of House Manager, ensured everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. His attention to detail and calm presence helped us relax and enjoy every moment.
The ceremony setup was absolutely beautiful, with a stunning backdrop and thoughtful touches that made the setting feel so special. The food was exceptional, both in presentation and flavour - some of our guests commented that it was some of the best food they’d ever had at a wedding!
What really impressed us that the venue liaised directly with our suppliers, taking a huge weight off our shoulders. Everything from decorations to hair to music was coordinated seamlessly without us needing to manage the small details.
We also loved that we were able to accommodate all of our family onsite for two nights, making the whole event feel like a getaway! The rooms were comfortable and newly refurbished.
One of our favourite memories was taking our wedding photos in the vineyard - an incredibly picturesque setting that added a magical, romantic touch to the day, and we got to drive the golf carts!
Leonardslee Wine Estate exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're looking for a venue that’s stunning, expertly run, and filled with warmth and care, we wholeheartedly recommend it.Leonardslee Wine Estate's reply:

Above & Beyond
I cannot fault our experience at Mannings Heath. From the early booking and planning stages, to the logistics and tiny details, to the big day itself, the lovely people at this venue go ABOVE AND BEYOND.
Jo is absolutely lovely and so helpful and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble and there was a perfect balance of advice and willingness to adjust to requests. Harry on the day was absolutely fantastic. Everything ran so smoothly and I felt so confident in him to ensure nothing would go wrong. Not a thing was out of place. All the waiting staff were fantastic. Proactively working out who needed what and where and with a friendly smile whilst doing so!
The food was absolutely fantastic. We had so many compliments from guests on the canapés and the wedding breakfast. Our friends and family with dietary requirements were very pleased with how good their food was too!
The rooms in the hotel and the cottage were lovely and we had a very comfortable and convenient stay.
The ride in the golf buggies for our bride and groom photos was a highlight! So much fun!
We highly recommend this venue to anyone. Absolutely could not fault it at all.

I had an amazing wedding at Leaonardslee Wine Estate. From start to finish the communication and professionalism was top notch. On the day, everything was taken care of, the team worked hard to make my vision come to life, and we had a truly magical day.

The absolute BEST
I would recommend Leonardslee wine estate/Mannings Heath golf club 1000000 times over.
We only wanted a small wedding of around 40 people and finding a venue who would accept a small wedding was a challenge in itself. Jo straight away said that was something they could help with, we arranged a visit and as soon as you arrive and see that stunning building I was just gobsmacked.
After sitting and chatting with Jo and having show round, I was sure it wasn’t something we would ever be able to afford, however, our quote was with us in an hour!
What fantastic value for money, so we booked our date and throughout the whole lead up to the wedding all communications with Jo and the team were seamless. Anything we wanted/needed, they were flexible and willing to do whatever.
Not once did I ever feel any worries.
Unfortunately, Jo was away for the weekend of our wedding but there was no drop in quality. Harry, Tyler, Jo (a different but just as lovely Jo) and all the team were just so absolutely wonderful!
I cannot put into words how easy they made our day and all the extra touches that didn’t go a miss!
Our content creators caught Harry fluffing my dress just as I was walking down the aisle 🤣 and Tyler rushing the length of the venue to fetch my gin when I was sat in the golf cart and I had left it on the terrace. Tyler also helped the groom and all the groomsmen with their button holes.
The food was absolutely divine, all served hot and fresh and prompt and of course the wine was gorgeous. We treated ourselves to 3 bottles before we left! Not forgetting the delicious breakfast!
We stayed in the cottage on the Friday and the cottage is gorgeous. I did have my two small children with me (1and 4) and it’s maybe not the best for small children but we made it work, I think I would book a hotel room if I had to do it again. On our wedding night and the night after, we stayed in a suite downstairs and what a gorgeous suite!!!!
Honestly I could write a full essay on our wonderful wedding and how lovely all the staff were. We fully intend on visiting as much as we can and husband has promised me a stay there on our anniversary each year! Your just all absolutely amazing ♥️♥️♥️
