Our Dream Wedding in a Dreamy Venue!

Having viewed 9 venues in and around Hertfordshire we knew Sandon Manor was the one! It has so much to offer from; the luxury onsite accommodation, beautiful grounds and stunning spaces. From the first meeting, Holly guided us through the process detailing all options of where you can hold the ceremony. It’s hard to choose where to start but we loved the calm and relaxed atmosphere within the Ceremony Hall, having a separate area for our wedding breakfast made the day run so seamlessly, the long tables down the centre of the Barn worked so well providing a modern look in a historical space. The Club room is great fun and works so well when you have some guests that want to dance the night away and others that just want to chat. Our guests and family loved the character of the venue, with the beautiful Manor House made to feel like you’re at home; it was so special being able to have family together on site. The organization and communication throughout were amazing, on the day Tom & Louise went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and everyone could enjoy every moment.
Thank you so much to everyone involved we couldn’t have wished for a better day!

Superb, elegant venue and warm and professional team

We simply cannot recommend Sandon Manor enough! We rented the house for a few nights for the wedding party and it was an absolute treat to make use of the beautiful facilities and to take advantage of nearby walks. It was the perfect set-up for an intimate wedding and we enjoyed making use of the gardens, bar, ceremony hall and barn. All the facilities are decorated to such a high standard and we absolutely loved the layout as there was lots of space but it equally encourage people to mingle and get involved with the dancing! We will treasure all our memories from those amazing few days. The team were incredibly supportive of all our wishes and went above and beyond.

The most wonderful venue!

We had the most perfect wedding weekend at Sandon Manor in April 2024. The venue is outstanding – there are so many options for where to hold the different parts of your day and we were able to enjoy all the outdoor spaces in the courtyard and the lawns in the sunshine. The dance pod is also really unique. So many of our guests commented on it being a special venue. Being able to stay at the Manor House for the whole weekend really gives you the time and space to be able to completely enjoy your whole weekend with family and friends. And the Sandon Manor team were amazing in helping us plan ahead of the day, and making sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding and would really recommend this venue to everyone. Thank you so much for giving us our dream wedding!

A stylish unique barn venue with so much more.

We were blown away with our wedding at Sandon Manor.
Firstly getting ready in the Manor House with our friends which is so sumptuous. Then our beautiful ceremony in the east wing with all our friends and family . Followed by delicious cocktails in the formal gardens and green courtyard and walled garden. The end of our day was spent celebrating in the medieval barn with a delicious meal , fizz at the cocktail bar and partying in the club room.
Our guests said they’d never been to somewhere so special and unique.

Our perfect fusion wedding at Sandon Manor

We had our perfect fusion wedding at Sandon Manor, combining different elements of our day which were important to both of us.
Sandon Manor’s team were so helpful in helping us with this, they made suggestions of what would work really well, helped us with ideas and were so accommodating on the day helping with the different elements. The venue with all the different spaces worked perfectly meaning we could combine everything seamlessly with no disruption to our guests.
It was perfect spending additional time with both our families over our wedding stay.
What was best was how perfect and unique Sandon Manor was to anything our guests had been to before.

Amazing venue and team!

We first viewed Sandon Manor as an unfinished work of art, it was still in the building process and we loved it then so we knew we would love it even more when it was finished.
The team (Holly in particular) were super helpful, they answered any queries we had, we visited a few times and they couldn’t be more accommodating.
The day before we had a planning meeting with the team, we were so prepared for how our day was going to run and what to expect.
The day itself was magical, our guests loved the venue and so did we! Everything ran like clockwork and exactly as we had imagined.
We couldn’t thank them enough for making our dream wedding come true!
