A truly special venue with an exceptional team
A huge and heartfelt thank you to the entire team at Merrydale Manor for giving us the most perfect wedding day. From our very first visit right through to checking out the morning after our wedding, we were made to feel so incredibly looked after. Every single person we encountered was warm, kind and genuinely invested in making sure we and our guests had the best day possible.
Merrydale itself is absolutely beautiful. The grounds and spaces are stunning and it really is the most special setting for a wedding. But as beautiful as the venue is, what truly makes Merrydale exceptional is the people behind it.
The whole operation runs unbelievably smoothly. The team are always two or three steps ahead of you, yet somehow you never feel rushed or like you’re being moved through a schedule. More importantly, you never once feel like ‘just another wedding’. Everything felt completely personal to us, and on the day we were able to completely switch off and enjoy every second because we had total confidence in the people around us.
We have to give special mention to the members of the Merrydale team who made such a big impact for us and truly deserve the recognition. Firstly, the biggest thank you to our on-the-day coordinators, Claire and Chloe. We had high expectations, but they completely exceeded them. They are quite simply amazing at what they do and are such a huge part of what made our day as perfect as it was.
Nothing was ever too much. They kept everything flowing effortlessly, dealt with everything calmly and went above and beyond at every opportunity, we honestly couldn’t believe just how much they did for us. They also worked so harmoniously with all of our suppliers, whether they knew Merrydale inside out or were working at the venue for the first time. We felt completely supported by them from beginning to end and will always be so grateful for the part they played in our day.
Another huge thank you has to go to Cameron, Head of Bar Operations. From the planning stages onwards, nothing was ever too much trouble for him. He went above and beyond to help us curate a drinks package that felt completely ‘us’, while using his experience to guide us on the elements where we needed a little direction. On the day itself he was so attentive, constantly checking in and making sure we were extremely well looked after. We felt incredibly supported by him throughout and he played such an important part in making the whole experience feel so special.
We’d also love to thank Robyn, who gave us our very first showround and was there at the beginning of our Merrydale journey, and Stefan, our brilliant toastmaster, who was truly exceptional and a complete credit to the Merrydale Manor experience. And to the entire Merrydale team – thank you. Every interaction we had was a reminder of just how good this team is.
It’s difficult to put into words how grateful we are. Our wedding genuinely could not have gone better, and so much of that is down to the care, professionalism and sheer hard work of everyone at Merrydale.
We would choose Merrydale again in a heartbeat. It gave us everything we hoped our wedding would be and more, and we will always be incredibly grateful to the team for giving us a day we’ll never forget.

Congratulations to you both once again, we wish you a lifetime of happiness together x -

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! 🤍✨Merrydale Manor's reply:

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 xMerrydale Manor's reply:

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!!Merrydale Manor's reply:

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!

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 -

Fantastic!
Our wedding at Merrydale Manor was nothing short of perfect.
From the very beginning, nothing was ever too much to ask—the team truly went the extra mile in every possible way. One thing that made a huge difference was being able to drop off and store our items during the week of the wedding. It took so much pressure off the day before, allowing us to actually relax and enjoy the lead-up.
They even arranged transport for myself and the bridesmaids to their local pub (which is a 10/10!) and back again, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the experience even more special.
I stayed on-site in the eco lodges, which were absolutely beautiful—such a peaceful and luxurious space. The entire venue is breathtaking, and somehow even more stunning in person than in photos.
The staff were incredible—warm, welcoming, friendly, and completely hands-on. They ensured everything ran smoothly and had the foresight to quietly handle anything before it could become an issue. They truly brought our vision to life.
The bedrooms are stunning, and the beds are unbelievably comfortable. We had the Manor House, honeymoon suite, and courtyard rooms, and all of our guests who stayed absolutely loved them.
We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team—everything was seamless, thoughtful, and just magical from start to finish. Highly, highly recommend!Merrydale Manor's reply:
Thank you so much for the amazing review Vikki, especially the feedback regarding our team, that means a lot to us. We're so glad we could help to make your day magical from start to finish. Congratulations to you both once again, we wish you a lifetime of happiness together x -

Williams Wedding 21/03/26
Absolutely flawless. We had the most unbelievable day. The care and effort the staff at Merrydale go to to support the bride and groom is second to none. The food was fantastic, there was nothing the staff couldn’t do for us, amazing accommodation, breathtaking setting. Special shout out to Kenzie, Cameron and of course our toastmaster, Neil - total credit to all involved in our wedding day. Thank you so much.Merrydale Manor's reply:
