    Perfect wedding - definitely recommend 🥰

    We honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day at Merrydale. From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing, and every little detail was just perfect. The venue was beautiful, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the staff were incredible throughout.

    Nothing was too much trouble, and everyone went above and beyond to make sure our special day was everything we had dreamed of. We felt so well looked after, and our guests had the most wonderful time too.

    We honestly couldn't fault a single thing. Thank you to the whole team at Merrydale for helping us create the most magical memories that we will treasure forever. We would recommend Merrydale to anyone looking for their perfect wedding venue. ❤️

    The Best Day of our Lives

    After 2 years in the making, all the planning and responding to emails, checklists & payments, our big salt was everything we had dreamed of & more. A HUGE thank you has to go to our coordinators Chloe & Drew, who helped the day run so smoothly. They were everything, from room dressers to dress cleaners and honorary guests in our guest book (this REALLY made us smile the next day). Another big shout out simply has to go to Cameron & the bar team. They were absolutely outstanding & we’ve had so many amazing bits of feedback about the quality of service from them, not to mention how tasty our cocktails were! Merrydale was the very first venue we viewed over 2 years ago & we fell in love with it instantly. One of the best things is how you’re constantly upgrading all of your features. Since booking, there has been a dressing room upgrade, a honeymoon suite upgrade & the bar renovation, which looks incredible! Throughout the day, we had so many guests come up to us & say how beautiful the venue was so it wasn’t just us who fell in love with it.
    Thank you to every single member of staff over the last 2 years who helped shape our wedding, it truly was perfect & wouldn’t have been the same anywhere else!
    Love you all :)

    Thank you for your amazing review Jack, it has been passed onto Chloe & Drew, plus Cameron & the bar team! Congratulations to you both once again. We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

    The most perfect venue and a fabulous team!

    We honestly couldn’t recommend Merrydale Manor enough. We stayed for two nights, the night before our wedding and the night of the wedding, and had all of the accommodation available. Some of our guests also stayed at The Dog, the local pub, and Merrydale arranged transport for around 40 of our guests there and back for our meal the evening before. It made everything so easy and meant we could all relax and enjoy the evening together.

    From the moment we arrived, the team couldn’t do enough for us. They helped us unpack and get everything ready for the next day, and were always nearby if we needed anything. They made sure our guests knew where to go for breakfast and arranged a private breakfast for the bridal party in the house so we wouldn’t be seen by other guests.

    On the wedding day, the team were so organised and helpful. I felt completely relaxed knowing we were in such good hands. Chloe was an absolute star over the two days and I honestly don’t think the day would have run as smoothly without her. She was there for anything I needed that morning, helped pass things between the bridal suite and the groom’s room, and even helped sort my dress out for the evening. A few guests needed little things during the stay, like a hairdryer or a mirror, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The team also helped tidy everything away and made sure the day ran as smoothly as possible. I even got a little teary saying goodbye to Chloe the next day. She had been such a lovely part of the best day of our lives, and I couldn’t thank her enough.

    The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and all of our guests commented on how perfect it was. It was also so lovely to meet the owner before the wedding and speak with him on the day; it made the whole experience feel even more personal. The team were wonderful throughout the planning process too. They were always there to answer questions and never made me feel that anything was silly. The forms and itinerary they provided from the outset were a huge help and made planning feel so straightforward.

    Breakfast was incredible as well: a lovely light breakfast on the wedding morning, followed by a full English the next day that we could enjoy with all our guests. Such a lovely way to end the celebrations.

    Everything about our stay and wedding was perfect. We made the best memories at the most beautiful venue, with the most wonderful team looking after us. Our only complaint is that it was so perfect that we wish we could do it all over again! Thank you so much, Merrydale Manor, for giving us the best day of our lives and again a huge thanks to Chloe!

    The perfect wedding venue!

    Where to start! You only have to look around Merrydale Manor to see what an absoloutely gorgeous wedding venue it is! It is the perfect place to get married, and what makes it even better are the people who work there. We cannot thank everyone at Merrydale enough for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. It was perfect in every way thanks to Merrydale. We had our first show around and subsequent meetings with Robyn, our final meeting with Kenzie and our wedding co-ordinators were Chloe (during the day) and Eden (for the evening).
    During our meetings the girls could not have been more helpful, answering all questions we had and accommodating all of our requests. On our wedding day Chloe and Eden were absoloutely fantastic! They were on hand for everything we needed, organising everyone, and telling us all where we needed to be and when. Any questions we had we sent an email over and these were always answered promptly. Nothing seemed to much trouble for anyone.
    Cam (bar manager) was also extremely helpful and accommodating and Josh was on the bar during our wedding day. Both were friendly and approachable.

    We don't have enough words to thank everyone at Merrydale Manor enough for making our wedding unbelievable and we cannot recommend this venue enough!
    We wish we could get married here all over again!

    We had the most amazing day and couldn’t have wished for a better place to celebrate our wedding.

    We got married at Merrydale Manor in August, and from the moment we booked the venue right through to our big day, everything was absolutely perfect 💫 The whole team were incredible — so helpful, professional and friendly throughout the entire process. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we could simply relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding day! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, and the grounds are beautifully kept. It really is such a stunning setting, and all of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was🫶🏼 One of the things that made our day even more special was being able to have our dog Tank there to share it with us. We were so happy that he could be included in our big day, and, as expected, he completely stole the show and was definitely the star of the day! 🐾🤍 We had the most amazing day and couldn’t have wished for a better place to celebrate our wedding. A huge thank you to the entire team at Merrydale Manor for helping make our day so special and memorable. We would highly recommend Merrydale Manor to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue! 🤍✨

    We can’t believe it’s been a week already since our wedding, and honestly, what an incredible day it was.

    I’d just like to say a huge, huge thank you to all of you for making our day the very best it could be. Merrydale Manor is honestly the venue of our dreams, and we had the most amazing couple of days there.

    We haven’t received all of our photos and videos back yet, but I’ll be sure to tag Merrydale on social media when we do. We also have lots of reviews to write for all of our wonderful vendors, including yourselves, so please bear with us, but we will definitely be leaving one!

    Robyn, thank you for being my go-to lady throughout the lead-up to the wedding. I must have been doing your absolute head in with my million questions, but thank you for always being so kind, patient and supportive throughout the whole process. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and your reassurance along the way meant so much.

    Claire & Drew, you girls absolutely smashed it out of the park on the day. We couldn’t have asked for better people to have by our side. You made us feel so at ease from start to finish, even when we were trying to dodge the rain and track down my dad for the reveal! We will be forever grateful for everything you did for us. You made sure everything ran smoothly, and your kindness, patience, support and attention to detail truly meant the world to us.

    Thank you to each and every person who played a part in making our wedding so incredible. There are so many staff members and so much work that goes into creating just one day, but for us it was the biggest and best day of our lives, and we’ll never forget it.

    Lots of love,

    Zoe & Lauren

    Our wedding day exceeded every expectation.

    From the moment we first viewed Merrydale Manor, we knew it was somewhere special, but our wedding day exceeded every expectation.

    The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with beautiful grounds, immaculate facilities and so many thoughtful touches that make the day feel effortless. Every part of the venue is maintained to an incredibly high standard, and our guests haven’t stopped talking about how amazing and seamless everything was. What really set Merrydale Manor apart was the team. Every single member of staff was friendly, professional and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. We were able to relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing.

    The planning process was smooth, communication was excellent, and we always felt supported. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue. If you’re looking for somewhere that combines a breathtaking setting with an outstanding team who truly care about creating unforgettable weddings, we couldn’t recommend Merrydale Manor highly enough.

    Thank you for giving us the most incredible day and memories we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. Erik & Annie x

    Amazing wedding venue

    I don’t think wedding venues get better than this place. From start to finish we were supported by all the wonderful staff. They were attentive to all our questions and really helped when we didn’t have a clue.
    They have a helpful list of amazing preferred suppliers and the venue is beautiful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone thinking of getting married!!
    And we want to do the day all again at Merrydale!!

    The most beautiful wedding venue and incredible staff

    The second we stepped through into Merrydale Manor, we knew this venue was the one. Every area is kept so neat and beautiful, so we knew we'd have the most beautiful backdrop to all our photos throughout the day. They had great communication throughout, ensuring we had time to sit down with a wedding coordinator near the beginning of our planning and about 6 weeks before to finalise the details. They were always so responsive by email and on the phone for the million questions I had and were really receptive to any of our requests for minor changes to fit our needs.

    The venue is full accessible for wheelchair users which was really important for a couple of our guests, and since many of our vendors were Manchester based, they already knew the venue already which put us at ease. They have multiple rooms where a civil ceremony is registered to take place, which made it much simpler for logistics on the day itself. Our only issue was the opening times were quite late so we couldn't use all the great facilities such as a the man cave and the bridal suite as much as we would have liked.

    Drew and Sophie were our wedding coordinators on the day, and we spoke to Nikita and Robyn who helped with the planning. All were super lovely and helpful throughout the process. I'd highly recommend Merrydale Manor for our wedding, we had so many compliments on how gorgeous it was!

    Merrydale Manor's reply:

    Thank you for your lovely review Ashika! Really lovely words regarding our venue and team at Merrydale.
    For the opening times, we do recommend having a 2pm ceremony so it does give you the morning to get ready and enough time to relax from check in at 11am, however as you did have an 11:30am ceremony, it did limit this time slightly. Our check in time, is taking into consideration the check out of the previous guests from the wedding the day before.
    Gorgeous photos of your wedding day as well, thank you for sharing them with us.
    Congratulations to you both again! x
