Stanbrook Abbey

We got marrried in April this year, and it was a day we will always cherish. Liza made the whole experience stress free, from enquiry to wedding day. Clyde was also making sure the day ran smoothly, and he did a fantastic job. The whole day was incredible, everyone was blow away with the food and surroundings. Such a beautiful venu and all the team do a fantastic job. Could not recommend enough. We cant wait to come for our anniversary next year.

I cannot recommend Stanbrook Abbey enough. We had a very last minute small ceremony planned. Caylie, our Event co-ordinator took all of our last minute amendments in her stride, and couldn’t do enough to help us get ready for our big day. From helping us pick out the perfect rooms down to the decorations we should get. Caylie went above and beyond to make us feel special, and make everything perfect. Stanbrook Abbey itself is completely breathtaking, and full of history, it was an honor to get to married there. Our ceremony was in the Callow Great Hall, followed by our evening ceremony in St.Annes. Anna ensured everything ran smoothly on the day, with Caylie even popping by to see we were all ok. All our guests commented on the delicious food, the staff, and hotel were amazing. It was truly more than we could have wished for. Thank you so much!

We had the most amazing wedding at Stanbrook Abbey! It was everything we hoped it would be and more! We wish we could do it all over again.

Our experience at Stanbrook abbey was absolutely amazing, from the very first day we met our wonderful wedding coordinator Helen all the way till our final drinks on our wedding day.

All of the staff were phenomenal and I never once felt like I was a burden and they had unlimited patience with my constant questions.

The service itself was gorgeous, the venue speaks for itself but the food was absolutely amazing, every element of what Stanbrook Abbey provides is worth every single penny, i have no hesitations with recommending this gorgeous venue to people, not only do you get the visuals but you also get an amazing team who want to make your day perfect.

As i mentioned above, a shout out to Helen and Clyde for being true stars and making sure my wife and I had the perfect day.

We chose to get married at Stanbrook Abbey as my Gran would have been too ill to attend the ceremony in person and the package we chose included live streaming of the ceremony. The day was absolutely perfect. Everything we hoped it would be. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, particularly our wedding coordinator Jodie, Clyde and my new best friend Brooke, who ensured my glass was never empty! The only issue we had was we booked the Pugin suite in August with another member of staff and this information was not relayed. Subsequently we were given another room free of charge as an apology but, as bride and groom, we feel they should have honored our original booking. Apart from that, it was a fantastic day and we would like to do it all over again!

Well what can i say, i have just had my wedding here this weekend and it was the most amazing experiance, from menu tastings and planning meetings through to the big day its self the staff at stanbrook made it such an easy process. and on the day itself we had a member of staff with us all day organising anything we needed and making sure everything went to plan. the venue looks stunning in everyway from grand hallways and stunning architechture to well planned fromal gardens and natural areas i could think of no better place to get married. 10/10 every day!

Wow! What can we Say,

We Originally had our Wedding booked for the Chateau Impney for May of 2020. But Covid forced our wedding to be cancelled and for the Venue to be closed down.

This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as soon as we discovered Stanbrook Abbey whilst searching for a new venue, (and we seen quite a few!) It was a no brainer. The most stunning venue we seen. The Callow great Hall, St Annes Hall, the archway corridors. No Venue in Worcester comes close.

Everything about our day was perfect. The food was perfect, the service was impeccable, our wedding planner Liza and our coordinator on the day Levi left no stone unturned. The Cardinal Suite we stopped in on our wedding night was quite possibly the best room we ever stopped in!

The only downside was the day had to end! A big thank you to everyone there for making our day so special and one we will never forget!

My wife and I got married at Stanbrook on 8 October 2021. It was our third attempt after being rescheduled due to Covid, and everything went perfectly! Stanbrook were always very flexible and accommodating in finding a new date that would work for us, and our day was able to happen in the way we had originally planned. Caylie in particular was brilliant at organising everything, and was always on hand to answer questions for us. On the day all of the team went out of their way to check we were happy with everything and were always on hand keep things running soothly. The food was excellent, especially the tiramisu! The bride's manor was the perfect place for the bridal party to get ready. It was great having enough space for everyone to get ready together, and being able to make our own breakfast was a great distraction on a stressful morning.

Overall our guests all had a wonderful day, and were really impressed by the venue. There are so many unique photo opportunities around the grounds which makes Stanbrook stand out from other venues that we looked at. Although we were lucky with the weather, there are lots of beautiful places to have photos, and for quests to mingle if they cannot be outside. We would highly recommend Stanbrook to anyone!

My husband and I got married at Stanbrook on 12/09/21 and wow what a day it was! I am a complete perfectionist, and at times I was worried about it all going exactly how I’d envisaged, but I needn’t have - it was amazing. Liza, Clyde, and all the other staff, really made it one of the best days of our lives.
I had lots of ideas or the day, from how I wanted the venue to look, the food, to entertainment. My wedding coordinator Liza, and her colleague Helen, were always so extremely helpful and supportive and helped me bring my dream to life.
We did have a couple of hiccups in the early stages, but Liza and Helen always sorted everything out for me and ensured I was happy.
Then Covid hit. We were originally due to get married in May 2020, this wedding I had spent so long planning had to devastatingly be cancelled just two months before the day. I was worried about what would happen, or if I’d even get my day, but the communication and flexibility Liza and the team Stanbrook showed us was honestly second to none. I can’t thank them enough for how supportive they were. We actually had to reschedule twice, and both times they did it without any hesitation. They knew how important it was for us to have it just right, and they did everything they could to help us.
Then before we knew it September 12th 2021 was here and it was finally our day.
The evening before the wedding I went down to the callow hall to have a look, and I bumped into Clyde. I was feeling quite anxious about it all going has I’d hoped, but he immediately put me at ease. I could tell we were on the same page, and assured me it would all be exactly how I wanted - and it was.
On the day the whole Stanbrook team really did themselves proud. I can be quite a hard person to please, but everything went amazingly well, it exceeded my expectations. Our guests said it was the best weddings they had ever been too! Which is quite a compliment!
Our wedding breakfast was delicious - every single plate was clean. A few weeks before the wedding I had decided I wanted to change our starter, and I wanted something that wasn’t actually on the menu. Liza did not hesitate to change it for me. However then became a little nervous about how it may be presented (as I hadn’t tried it at our menu tasting), I spoke to Helen about my concerns and she immediately got the chef to make me up a portion and sent a photo to me by email - what fabulous customer service!
The waiting staff on the day were fantastic. They were very attentive, topping up glasses and clearing plates in good time. Nothing was too much trouble if you asked them.
I really do feel sad now that our wedding has been and gone. I spent so much time thinking about it - I’ve actually been emailing Liza since September 2018, I feel like I’ve lost a friend haha.
If you are considering Stanbrook as a venue for your day, please just go for it, you won’t regret it. The venue is stunning as it is, but it has the potential to become an absolute fairytale if you have the imagination.
Thankyou Liza, Clyde, Helen, and the rest of the team for everything. Our day was the best day EVER, I will never forget any of it, and I want to do it all again xxxxxx

The moment we saw Stanbrook Abbey we knew it was our perfect wedding venue. This was only supported by the fact that our wedding coordinator, Caylie, was absolutely brilliant throughout the entire process, always on hand to help with all of our questions and so supportive with a genuine interest and excitement leading towards our wedding day. The brides manor was the perfect place to get ready with my girls the morning of the wedding and there are so many spots around Stanbrook to get amazing photos. The service on the day was second to none, everyone went out of their way to make sure we had the best day and people are still talking to me about how incredible the food was! The venue is such an important part of any wedding and Stanbrook went above and beyond our expectations xxx

The venue itself is stunning and you could not ask for a more romantic and magical wedding venue.
What made Stanbrook stand out the most was the exceptional service we received from day one through to after the wedding day. Even during COVID and the date changes and supplier changes Stanbrook were there and supporting us every step of the journey. They made the transition from our original date to the new date so easy and took the stress and pressure of COVID away from us for our special day.
Our wedding coordinator Caylie went above and beyond. Her knowledge, patience and support was immense and no amount of money could but such a friendly and professional approach. She listened and helped us achieve all the elements we wanted for our special day. She made the planning and organising incredible fun and we throughly enjoyed meeting and going through the arrangements with Caylie.
On the day all the staff were exceptional, they were friendly, warm and welcoming to everyone in attendance with nothing being too much for them to assist with.
Caylie ensured she was there too, and ensure date roman was dressed just as we envisaged it. She also met the bride at the door and it was such a lovely touch to see her friendly face and comforting to have her there whilst waiting to go in for the ceremony.
All our friends and family commented on what an exceptional service the staff provided and how beautiful the setting and venue was.
Thank you Stanbrook for giving us the most magical day, one we will never forget and we cannot give you all enough praise and recommendations. From a very Happy couple!

What an amazing wedding venue Stanbrook Abbey is!

Myself and my partner thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our wedding day. Jodie and Clyde were amazing on the lead up to our wedding and actually on our day. We couldn’t thank them and all the staff at Stanbrook enough!

From all the catering staff, all the waiters and waitresses and cleaning staff you we’re all extremely professional , efficient and had smiles all day long! We will remember this day for the rest of our lives! Thanks 😊

All of our guests said what an amazing venue this is and they would love to come back and visit.

Thank you all again for making our day so special and one we will never forget!

Mr and Mrs Keen

Stanbrook Abbey is the most beautiful venue for a wedding / wedding reception. The building itself gives so much character perfect for your event with some amazing photo opportunities. The grounds themselves are expansive and beautiful, allowing for garden games, outdoor eating and fire pit for hot chocolate and marshmallows in the evening.

The team at Stanbrook Abbey were amazing and so attentive when helping me organise my wedding during the pandemic. They made sure I had the wedding as close to my dream wedding whilst keeping in line with the covid regulations. Helen in particular was absolutely amazing and so attentive to my needs and wishes and replying to emails so quickly to try and keep me calm!!


I couldn’t recommend this venue enough!

Before choosing Stanbrook Abbey as our venue, we were already aware that Stanbrook Abbey is one of the premier settings for a wedding in Worcestershire. We had visited the hotel 2 or 3 times for meals and cups of coffee, so we had seen the wonderful grounds including the Willow Garden and the surrounding gardens, we had visited The Great Hall and seen how tastefully the hotel had woven a traditional hotel in with an established historic building.
Right from the start, the level of professionalism and warmth from the team is an experience. We had visited other venues and didn’t feel that the person we were speaking to, really understood what we wanted.
We first spoke to Stanbrook Abbey before COVID 19. Our organiser was Caylie. During what was to become a very difficult year for everyone, Caylie was the consummate professional. What became very evident, this is not just a job to Caylie, rather, it is something that she really enjoys doing. This is seen in the way that despite being furloughed a couple of times, Caylie and the team were always there. The level of support they gave us during the year, despite the uncertainty that they were feeling as well, was amazing.
During the planning process, Caylie helped us to source suppliers. As Stanbrook is a very unique setting, we felt that we needed suppliers who knew and understood the hotel. The relationship that Caylie and the team have with the suppliers made our negotiations so easy.
Due to lockdown, we were unable to follow the normal timeframes. Our original date of getting married on Christmas Eve never altered, but the timeframes for menu tasting etc were delayed. Despite that, the hotel almost seemed to redouble their efforts in making sure that we got the opportunity to have our menu and wine tasting evening coming out of lockdown with 22 days to go before the wedding!
Even though the numbers had reduced greatly from our original plans, Caylie and the team had remained as committed. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. When we checked into the hotel for our wedding, we were met by Jessica, who made us feel very welcome. In fact, the checking in process was so simple and easy that our parents didn’t have the normal 10 minutes stood around waiting to fill in loads of paperwork!
The team that looked after us in the restaurant and at our wedding were terrific. On our menu tasting night, we had been introduced to a lady called Sharifa. At the start she told us that she would be looking after us that evening, she would be looking after us on our wedding day. From our point a view it was so nice to see a familiar face on our wedding day and anything we needed, Sharifa and the team ensured we got it. Others in the team that need a mention are Marco who congratulated us at breakfast on the day of our wedding, Claire who quite rightly, refers to coffee as the “elixir of life” – what a refreshing way to be looked after. Team members that obviously care and actually enjoy meeting new people and looking after customers.
On our wedding menu taster night, we were also introduced to Clyde. Clyde was our Event Manager for the day. Clyde quietly and with no fuss, just got everything sorted. With new rules coming into force due to COVID, the ceremony part had changed a considerable amount. No music other than from an IPod, 3 pages of rules of do’s and don’ts from the Registrars, and Clyde calmly got everything organised on the day. Working seamlessly with our suppliers before and during the wedding, Clyde helped to make everything come together.
There are still a number of the team that we haven’t met. The team led by Chef produced some incredible food. We checked into the hotel the night before our wedding. We ate in the restaurant. The food was beautiful and presentation was incredible. With only six covers for the evening it appeared, Chef and his teams attention to detail was yet again, testament to the levels of professionalism that the Stanbrook Abbey team have in bucketfuls.
The team that looks after the rooms, took us by surprise as well. We weren’t expecting them to sort our hotel room out whilst we stayed, but they did! Not only did they reset everything but they also left us a little gift on our wedding day.
We don’t have enough superlatives to describe the efforts that the Stanbrook team went to during our whole wedding experience. Whilst we want to thank everyone in the team, we would wish to thank Caylie especially. During what was a very difficult year for her, she was never less than professionalism. Her focus, commitment and positive attitude should be recognised and we would like to say thank you for making our wedding the best day that we could have ever had.
To anyone reading this, if you are considering Stanbrook Abbey for your wedding venue, we would highly recommend it. The team are exceptional, their knowledge and passion for what they do is incredible, their compassion and care for each and every customer, in whatever capacity they are there for, is a testament to the way that this business operates. Stanbrook is more than a premier choice for Worcestershire, we think it should be a premier choice for wherever you are in the UK.

We finally got married on attempt number 4! Stanbrook moved the date each time without any issues. They took so much stress out of a COVID wedding. We had our little ceremony in the Callow Great Hall and we plan to do it all again once we are able to have all our guests there.

I will write another review to be able to say what it’s like when you have a big wedding there but we had 6 of us plus our 2 photographers at our wedding and the venue was PERFECT! The Grooms Room was the perfect space for the boys to get ready before going into the bar or the hall to wait on me (the bride) and my bridal party to be ready. The privacy we all had before the wedding was wonderful and really what we all needed to be able to relax and calm ourselves before the main event.

The ceremony went so fast but the staff helped us with the music, the timings for the bridal party walking in. They were there with us both to keep us calm before the ceremony started. They were superb!

After the ceremony the bar staff looked after our 4 guests in the bar whilst we went off around the grounds to have photographs taken. We had complete access and so did our photographers, which enabled them to go around the grounds before the wedding to work out how they wanted the photos to look and where they wanted to take them.

After our photos we met up with our guests in the restaurant, where we had booked tables to be able to celebrate the wedding. They let us have our wedding cake for our dessert and even turned the music off so mu 9 year old daughter could do a speech. The waiting staff brought us complimentary drinks to celebrate our day and one of the waiters even told me about he had met his partner there and the two of them hoped to be able to marry next year. I know he works there so he knows how amazing Stanbrook is but I encouraged him to have something held at his work because everyone was AMAZING! Truly AMAZING!

Liza, helped my from day one and even when furloughed she did her best to make sure if I had questions they were answered. She kept in touch when the wedding was uncertain and she let me cry when I needed to be sad that it had to be cancelled again!

Now she’s helped me have my perfect mini ceremony and next year when we hopefully get to do it with everyone we originally planned to have, she has already said she will be there every step of the way for that too.

I cannot recommend them enough. Beautiful setting, beautiful, caring staff and it all created the most beautiful, perfect day in some pretty difficult circumstances!
