An Outstanding, Extraordinary, Exceptional Wedding Venue

If you want a venue who will treat you like royalty from start to finish, this is the venue for you! Our Co-ordinator Jodie from Stanbrook was absolutely phenomenal! She ensured that we had everything we needed, right down to the last detail. The whole process was made with ease. You are provided with meetings throughout, an amazing taster session and even discounts for your guests who plan to stay at the hotel on the night of Wedding Day. The staff were brilliant; they met all our needs and requests. The rooms were aesthetically gorgeous and comfortable.

My bridal party and I stayed in the Outstanding Bridal Manor the night before, and my husband’s groomsmen booked the basement where they played games, utilised the snooker table whilst enjoying fabulous food.

The order of the day couldn't of run smoother! Clyde our co-ordinator on the day of the wedding was so kind and considerate. The staff were professional and worked in unity. All our guests expressed how much they felt like Royalty! And the building! Absolutely Extraordinary!! I cannot thank you enough Stanbrook for making our day sooo Special!! I would recommend this Amazing 5-star experience to all!

A truly special venue

We got married at Stanbrook Abbey in June 2026. From our first viewing in January 2025 to the moment we drove away the day after the wedding, the staff at Stanbrook Abbey have been incredible. They have an ease about them that makes you feel relaxed as a bride & groom, and there is no need to ‘sweat the small stuff’ on the big day as you know it is all in hand. A special shoutout to Caylie, our wedding coordinator in the lead up to the day, and Liza & Clyde, who made every part of the day before & day of our wedding, as stress-free as possible. The venue speaks for itself, our guests were stunned by the beauty of the Callow Great Hall. We also had lots of compliments on the wedding food - both daytime & evening (we upgraded to pizza!). Thank you Stanbrook for giving us the best day of our lives xx

Spectacular venue!

We got married at Stanbrook Abbey in June 2026 and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The venue itself is in immaculate condition and getting married in the beautiful Callow Great Hall is something we will never forget - it is such a special place for a wedding ceremony and our guests (and us!) were completely blown away by it. Caylie was also really helpful from start to finish. She was super responsive to emails and really went out of her way to make our day as special as it could possibly be. We had a fairly large wedding (110 guests approximately) and there was plenty of room for everyone. The service on the day was also seamless, with Clyde and the team being on hand to manage the day itself and it felt completely stress-free, even with last minute changes having to be made due to rain. This really is a special venue and I am so glad we chose it - highly recommend for anyone looking for the wow factor!

Our wedding day

My partner and I got married in June 2026 at the wonderful Stanbrook Abbey and we could not fault a single thing.

The night before the wedding I stayed at the Manor House with my bridal party. This is a MUST if you are getting married here. The Manor House is beautiful, with gorgeous rooms, lovely decor and a touch of class. We had our breakfast delivered to us and nothing was too much trouble when we needed extra milk and dishwasher tablets.

Leading up to the big day, we dealt with Erika and Caylie who went above and beyond for us. Nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel at ease about our special day. As an over thinker, they reassured me that everything on the big day would be perfect - and they weren't wrong!!

We were invited to take part in our Menu Tasting prior to the wedding and this was an amazing experience. We really felt like VIPs with our own personalised itinerary for the tasting session and plenty of food and wine to sample.

The day before the wedding I met with Caylie and Clyde (another fantastic member of staff who stayed for our entire wedding and ensured it all ran smoothly). On the day, Caylie and Clyde were on hand to ensure things were perfect and Caylie even stayed with me until I finally walked down the aisle to offer her support.

The venue is absolutely amazing - guests are still commenting on how beautiful Stanbrook Abbey is. The staff were amazing, always ensuring our plates were cleared, drinks were topped up and serving everyone efficiently at the bar. Stanbrook Abbey gave me the chance to fully enjoy my wedding day without stressing over anything. The staff are an absolute credit to this venue too. Our wedding breakfast was delicious and hot, and we have numerous comments to say how tasty it was.

My husband and I stayed in the Cardinal Suite for the night of our wedding and again this was a massive WOW factor. An absolutely stunning room to stay in and we enjoyed soaking up our first married morning together on the balcony overlooking the beautiful grounds.

Thank you to everyone at Stanbrook Abbey - you really did make our wedding day magical!!

Perfect wedding location

We were blown away by the venue the moment we viewed for our wedding. From the breathtaking abbey with the stain glass window and beautiful details in the architecture to the grand Manor House where me and my five bridesmaids stayed the night before and where my family arrived to help me prepare to walk down the isle. The day wouldn’t have been what it was without Liza our wedding coordinator who handled every last detail and kept in contact with us throughout the whole planning journey. I cannot express to you how calm and relieved I was after meeting with her and I thanked her so much because she had gone over everything I was worrying about and made the process so seamless (during a difficult time in her life I wanted to add how resilient, loving and dedicated to her role her strength amazes me). Secondly Clyde who was there with us through every step on the big day. He organised everything from the time we wanted deserts to hand placing every piece of decoration I had brought. He was so amazing and so calm even when we ran behind time I went to him and he has such a calming energy and told me there was nothing to worry about we never felt rushed he keeps everything so organised on the day and I am so so grateful for both of them. Finally Sophie who served us and took over from Clyde later on in the evening she was so professional and passionate about her role I am so amazed by the quality of staff who all truly match your joy and energy on the biggest day of your life. They were all so genuinely happy for me and my husband and without them the day wouldn’t have been so perfect. - Courtney and Morgan Fox

25.05.2025 wedding

Stanbrook Abbey (Caylie) in particular, could not do enough for us with regards to planning and organising our wedding day. The service was super flexible towards our particular needs and the customer service was brilliant. Our wedding coordinator on the day (Clyde) could not do enough for us, was super polite and very friendly and reassuring in those moments brides need it. Only bit of criticism would be that on the day other staff members could’ve been either better informed/organised in knowing how the day was suppose to run but it was nothing we noticed on the day. More when we look back. This would be something to double check during your handover meeting but to be honest, the day before the wedding, amongst the excitement, I was not thinking clear enough to double and triple check.

Amazing Venue!

My wife and I recently married at the wonderful Stanbrook Abbey. We chose Stanbrook after being guests at a family members wedding a few years prior. We were both thoroughly impressed with the beauty and feel of the Abbey and the kindness and professionalism of the staff.

From the first meeting we had with Caylie, our event/wedding planner, we felt very comfortable. All of our queries were answered promptly and were very informative. No questions seemed like they were too much, and that set our minds at ease. Caylie gave us lots of ideas for the big day and genuinely made the whole process a lot easier.

The day itself was amazing! We were impressed with how we were treated by the staff. Everyone was so kind and courteous.
We also want to mention Clyde, who was the main organiser on the day. He was absolutely fantastic, guiding us throughout a very busy day. A true gent!

We cannot recommend Stanbrook Abbey enough. It is a beautiful place and it will remain in our hearts forever.

Wedding 19.9.25

From the moment we walked into Stanbrook we were treated really well. We only wanted a small wedding, ceremony, meal and rooms but nothing was too much trouble. Our wedding advisor, Jodie, was an absolute star who made sure everything was in place before the day and the day itself ran smoothly. The Abbey and the grounds are lovely, the staff really friendly and efficient and the food was excellent. I would recommend Stanbrook Abbey to anyone looking for a wedding venue, small or large.

Wedding September 2025

We recently had our wedding at Stanbrook Abbey, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing – the venue, the team, the atmosphere – it all exceeded our expectations in every way.

The grounds and architecture are simply stunning. The moment we arrived, we knew it was something special. The mix of historic charm and modern luxury creates such a magical setting – it really does feel like a fairytale.

The wedding team at Stanbrook Abbey were phenomenal. Professional, friendly, and always one step ahead, they made sure every little detail was taken care of. We felt completely supported throughout the entire planning process and on the day itself. Nothing was too much trouble, and their attention to detail helped everything run smoothly and stress-free.

Our guests were blown away – everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was, how relaxed and enjoyable the day felt, and how well looked after they were. From the ceremony in the stunning Callow Hall, to the evening reception in the Garden Pavilion, the flow of the day was seamless, and every space had its own special charm.

The food was another highlight – absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had!

Most importantly, we had the best day of our lives. It was filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Stanbrook Abbey played such a huge part in making that happen, and we’re so grateful.

We couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough – if you’re looking for somewhere breathtakingly beautiful with incredible service and a truly unforgettable experience, Stanbrook Abbey is the place.

Perfect wording from start to finish!

We recently had our wedding at Stanbrook Abbey and it truly was the most perfect day. When we got engaged, we knew straight away it was where we wanted to get married. The great callow hall is a stunning venue that enabled all our guests to see and hear the ceremony. We then had our drinks reception outside, followed by an amazing wedding breakfast in the pavilion. So many of our guests commented on how great both the food and service was. Everything was kept to time which meant guests had an hour to check into rooms and freshen up before the evening. Our reception was then held in St Anne’s and again, food on the night was superb. We had our perfect day and we cannot thank the team at Stanbrook enough. From the initial conversations, they understood our vision for the day and made sure every little detail was included. Wish we could do it all over again!

10.08.25 Mr & Mrs Downes Wedding Day

Stanbrook Abbey - our beautiful wedding venue! Our guests were in awe and loved every aspect of the grounds - from the gorgeous Callow Great Hall, to St Anne’s Wing and the lawns too! We knew we loved Stanbrook but we are so pleased our guests loved it too.

Jodie, our wedding organiser at Stanbrook, was so supportive throughout the whole planning process of our wedding, always there to answer a question, always understanding and always there to offer advice too! The build up to the wedding would not have been the same without your support, so THANK YOU Jodie!

Clyde and his team, were there on the wedding day helping to make the day perfect! We both knew we were in safe hands, everything we wanted was there. A friendly, helpful team who just wanted us to have the best day! And we did!

Thank you to all at Stanbrook for our perfect wedding day, one to always remember!

Our Wedding Day 31.07.25

The staff couldn’t do enough for us on our big day and it flowed so smoothly. There was always enough people around to serve food and drinks throughout our day.
Our wedding planner Jodie Boyd was incredible and nothing was too much trouble for her leading up to our wedding and on the day. Our events manager, Caitlin was also a dream to work with and she made sure absolutely everything went to plan throughout the day. You were both absolute stars and you’re a credit to Stanbrook Abbey!!
Thank you!
