Testimony for the Enchanted Manor Wedding Experience
Mother of the Bride September 2021
From the very first interaction that I had with the family at the Enchanted Manor I can honestly say that I experienced nothing but a welcoming, supportive and compassionate service.
Every single detail of our wedding was considered from the beginning, and I can honestly say that every individual need was catered for. All interactions and meetings were welcoming, warm and highly professional. This enabled everything to run like clockwork on the day. When we arrived on the wedding morning, we were all extremely nervous and emotions were running high, the calm and beautiful welcome we received calmed us immediately and enabled us to relax and enjoy the day.
The venue itself is magical and is made even more enchanting by the family – Peta, Nicky, Kev and their lovely daughters, who run the Manor. Everything was perfect, from the beautifully prepared rooms to the surprise wedding guest (red squirrel), Having use of the whole Manor for our family made the wedding and experience and an event, rather than just a wedding, and that is all down to the fantastic venue and family that run the business. The food and drinks were perfect and enjoyed by all of our guests, everyone was enchanted by the whole experience.
The whole family were able to sense exactly what we needed and went out of their way to accommodate all our requirements. I would thoroughly recommend this venue and wedding package; it met all our needs and I have already recommended the venue to many others.
Using this venue will certainly enable you to have a beautiful and spiritual experience for you and your guests that you will never forget.

My husband and I decided to elope and always dreamed to do this on the Isle of Wight. We were so blessed to have found the Enchanted Manor. We were on holiday and Peta the owner was very quick to reply to my emails so we could meet in person before us returning back home. We had a tour of this beautiful manor with its lovely rooms, garden and conservatory. We made our arrangements for the wedding and just felt so comfortable and in the best hands from word go. Peta and her family also was happy to be our witness what really saves a potential problem! We were very grateful indeed.
We nearer to the time of our big day had a video call to make sure all we needed was ready.
We decided to have the wedding in the conservatory even though we thought about the garden. The conservatory is such a beautiful room. My husband was given a room of his own to get ready, Peta came and helped with my hair and nerves. Just these added bits are so lovely when you think you can do it on your own! This wonderful family took pictures for us and just made us feel so special. Even took us to a view point of st. Catherine’s lighthouse for some more pictures. A dream having a wedding picture with the sea.
The rooms are very well appointed with everything you need. You will feel so relaxed.
Breakfast is an absolute joy. With lots of fresh and homemade vegan foods. You will get an opportunity to see the island red squirrels as they come and visit the wonderful garden while sitting and enjoying your breakfast.
Our wedding was a dream. Thanks to Peta and her family.
The wonderful Enchanted Manor is a truly beautiful place that will make your wedding dreams come true.
We most definitely will be returning.

We have just returned from our wedding completely organised at the Enchanted Manor on the Isle of Wight. Ric and Maggie were superb and could not do enough for us , even standing in as witnesses.There hotel is quite simply beautiful,the decor,ambience,food and setting is truly enchanting.This place must be one of the best kept secrets around.We will certainly be going back next March and hopefully in the summertime also ..Phew it took our breath away and made our day even more special ...
Thanks Ric and Maggie

We stayed at the Enchanted Manor for 2 nights and held our wedding & reception there. It was the perfect venue on both counts: Our room was beautiful and very luxurious, we felt very spoilt and our breakfasts on the lawn were wonderful. As our wedding venue, the owners did so much to help us ensure everything was perfect, and we felt that they really cared that everything ran smoothly for us. Consequently, it was the perfect day. Our guests all had a wonderful time, and we felt so thrilled with our choice. I would highly recommend The Enchanted Manor to anyone for a luxurious break, or an extra special wedding venue.

My Husband and I got married at the Enchanted Manor and it was the most perfect day I have ever had. Ric and Maggie are two of the most nicest people you could ever meet and they went the extra mile in every thing and every way they could for us. I we are going back next year for our anniversary to relive the magic!!! Massive thank you to Maggie and Ric and all the lovely staff at the Manor for making our wedding and our stay so magical. x x x x x

It is impossible not find yourself taken over by the magical atmosphere of The Enchanted Manor. Hotel reception areas are usually cold, business like places, designed merely to process you through to your room.
Not so The Enchanted Manor, the reception is warm and inviting, filled with a myriad of eye catching images that immediately transport you into Rick and Maggie’s personal dream-land.
The tastefully decorated, spacious bedrooms, with their huge four poster beds continue to draw you into a land far removed from the hum drum of everyday life.
The dappled light from the vine decorated restaurant come conservatory leads into the picture book garden, designed to transport you back to those childhood stories we all remember.
We were looking for somewhere unique and special for our big day. The Enchanted Manor fulfilled all our wishes and more.
Even with all the hustle and bustle of our wedding including 19 bridesmaids, our hosts stayed calm and helpful.
When the wedding was over, and everyone had left, the Enchanted Manor drew us in once more, wrapped us in its warm wings, and allowed us to drift into a satisfied storybook dream.
Would we recommend the Enchanted Manor? Do fairies live at the bottom of the garden?

I stumbled across the Enchanted Manor a year ago during a frustrated on-line search for a venue for our wedding. As soon as I entered the web-site we were captured. Fairies! Enchantment! 5 star luxury! And all on our beloved Isle of Wight. We paid Maggie and Ric an initial visi and were made most welcome, being shown around the Manor and allowed to wander the wonderful gardens. From that visit grew our woodland Autumn Fairy wedding. But it wasn’t just the Enchanted Manor that drew us in – it was also Maggie and Ric, who are the essence of the Enchanted Manor. Over the past year I’ve been in regular contact with Maggie, planning and building up to the wedding. Never have I met a person more accommodating or helpful. She was totally on board the whole time, embracing our ideas, delivering on our whims and wishes, with a wealth of fantastic ideas thrown in for good measure!
We arrived at the Manor and was greeted by the most convivial Ric and shown to our room – Dreamtime. It is just so opulent! The bed, about a mile wide, was set out with luxury bath robes, chocolates, personalised wine and a gift. The rooms are very well appointed - the fridge is a great idea. Badger watching in the evening is an experience we’ll never forget.
And then it was the day of our wedding. Everything, just everything was fantastic. Our guests were greeted with a glass of bubbly where the food was laid out, and the Garden Rooms with the tables beautifully laid, to the gardens where the ceremony was conducted under the tress. We have never, ever, seen so many smiling faces. They’d all been enchanted!

we have just held our wedding ceremony at the enchanted manor and had the most perfect time, the wedding room is beautiful and stunning, the guests rooms are luxurious, in fact every part of the manor is decorated to such a high and beautiful standard. all or guests loved being there. Maggie and Ric were brilliant on the day and made sure it was special for us. We are planning to stay for a break as soon as we can. As the weather was not at its best we were not able to go outside for photos however we have been kindly invited back at a future time and will enjoy this opprtunity as they have built a beautiful outside wedding area also. The wine had lovely personalised labels on for us so we had a personal keepsake of the day, we recieved a lovely photo frame as a gift from Maggie and Ric also. We had a mixture of family friends and children with us and everyone really felt welcome and had a great time. everything has been designed with such beautiful detail I could not find or want to find any faults with the enchanted manor.

Well where to start we had our Wedding and reception at the Enchanted Manor the last weekend in May and it was perfect . We also stayed the whole weekend and couldn't have asked for a better start to our married life .The breakfast was superb , the ensuite bedroom so spacious and comfy , the hospitality was second to none nothing is ever too much trouble for Ric and Maggie .The gardens are a pure delight to walk round and to see the badgers feeding on the lawn in the evening was the icing on the cake.I throughly recommend a stay here and if you are looking for a totally unique place to hold a wedding this is it .We shall be back for certain

Our Wedding Day was everything we had hoped it would be and more! such a beautiful hotel, with stunning gardens and woodland. The perfect setting for a Magical wedding.
Our guests were totally taken aback by its beauty and it will be remembered for many years to come i'm sure. The wedding room is gorgeous, perfect for an intimate wedding as ours was. Maggie prepared the most wonderful picnic hampers with champagne for us to enjoy whilst relaxing in the garden after the ceremony. Ric and Maggie are an amazing couple and work so hard to ensure you enjoy your stay. The atmosphere is relaxing. The suites are opulent and comfortable. The food is outstanding. Highly recommended for intimate weddings or for a romantic break. We didn't want to leave and will definitely be returning in the near future

We have just come home from our visit to the Enchanted Manor. My husband and I re-newed our wedding vows to celebrate 10 years of marriage. We could not have asked for a more perfect setting and a warmer welcome. The day was magical and we were very sad to leave. We experienced the fairy high tea and I have never seen such a beautiful variety of cakes - almost too good to eat! Thank-you to Ric and Maggie - it would not have been so special without you. Hope to see you again soon,

Wonderful Wedding Weekend Fantasy Event like no other! Planning, Service, Location and Atmosphere PERFECT and totally exceeded our expectations which is hard to do as we are World Travelers in our 60's. As Americans, we wanted a very unique British "Fantasy Wedding" location to recreate a Camelot King Arthur type Cinderella "Enchanted Forest" painting of renowned British Spirit of Imagination Artist, Jo Wall,
If you want something totally unique, extraordinary and totally romantic for your wedding or just to be pampered for an anniversary or birthday treat yourself to a weekend or weekday stay at the this truly "Enchanted Manor" and experience the best of the best!
We highly recommend this truly magical romantic experience for all couples everywhere.

We have just returned from spending a weekend at The Enchanted Manor and we were married in this magical place on Saturday, From the moment we arrived Maggie & Ric welcomed us and were the most marvellous hosts. We had a couple of friends with us who also stayed (my chief bridesmaid and her partner) The men weren't sure about the whole "fairy" theme when we arrived but Maggie & Ric must have sprinkled them with their magic dust as they are now completely won over by the venue and the wonderful hosts. We enjoyed spectacular breakfasts each morning and the whole weekend experience was absoutely fantastic. All our family and friends who attended the wedding were overwhelmed by how lovely it was. We will definetely visit again and I think a lot of our family will too. And we will also be glad we held our wedding at this very special place and we feel we have now made 2 new friends called Maggie & Ric who we will stay in touch with. Overall a truly special, magical and wonderful experience, thank you Maggie & Ric we enjoyed every minute.

My husband and I have just had the most amazing and special wedding weekend at the Enchanted Manor! We had a fantastic garden wedding the sun was shining as we said our vows and had pimms in the garden. Ric and Maggie are fantastic people and nothing is too much trouble for them to make your dreams come true. We stayed in the honeymoon suite called ‘Dreamtime’, a large luxurious suite with a big bath and gorgeous four poster bed. Breakfast was delicious – so much choice and our high tea (part of our wedding package) included homemade sandwiches and cakes – which were to die for! I was so thrilled with my cerise shower orchid bridal bouquet which was all arranged by Maggie. We had a fantastic three night stay here and were sad to leave. We would definitely recommend this luxurious 5 star venue anyone who desires a unique and very special wedding day!

We chose this venue initially via the website and when we first visited the Enchanted Manor only two months before our big day, we were absolutely blown away with how amazing it was and how perfect it would be for our very special wedding day in May. Maggie & Ric were fantastic hosts/wedding planners from start to finish and every little detail was met. From the actual ceremony out under the pagoda to the champagne grand high tea, every minute felt special, relaxed, intimate and all our guests have commented on what a perfect wedding it was. The room we stayed in was absolutely beautiful and really romantic - just perfect in every way. An absolute dream wedding...!
