The Manor Elstree is a historic wedding venue situated in Hertfordshire, England. This Tudor-revival mansion house is nestled amidst 10 acres of scenic woodlands and manicured gardens. Inside and out, the boutique hotel marries rustic charm with modern refinement, as traditional timbered elements blend perfectly with modern touches and additions.

We contacted The Manor just a couple of weeks before we wanted to get married. Charlie was able to adjust a very flexible package for us based on our small numbers and specific requests. We kept things very simple but the photos look as elegant as if we had spent a fortune.

Best Day ever - even in the rain!
We booked the exclusive hire of The Manor and had such a wonderful day. Venue is stunning, had so many lovely comments. Loved how we could use all the different spaces and that guests could stay over to extend the celebrations (and story swapping) to the morning after.
We were able to customise the package to our exact requirements which we loved.
The event planners were brilliant despite going through some changes in management at the time.

Wedding Ceremony & Reception
The planning was meticulous two people spring to mind Nimo, and Teresa, Nimo who was there on the day was the chief coordinator and made sure there were no glitches, lots of nice touches added beyond the contractual requirements, the Mayfair suite is a dream the views are breathtaking and the grounds are well tended, the wedding reception was held at the Arkley downstairs and the spillover into the grounds added to the feeling that all was right with the world, what a way to have ones wedding blessed, the wedding breakfast was something to die for and the comments from our friends was that the service was outstanding , reception staff to mention Andrea, Joanna and Phil (great sense of humour)
