Outstanding attention to detail

From our very 1st visit to Woolston Manor to the big day itself, we were looked after by the charming staff, nothing was to much trouble. The food was exquisite with matching service. We had a wonderful day and have received fantastic comments from our guests.

Flawless Service and a Beautiful Venue

We had our wedding reception at Woolston Manor, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything from the planning to the very last moment of the evening was handled with such care, professionalism, and attention to detail.

The food was absolutely amazing — our guests are still talking about it weeks later! The decor, done by the in-house decorator Zahir, was stunning and fit perfectly with our modern theme. The whole venue looked beautiful, and the staff made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

A special mention has to go to the incredible team who made our day so effortless. Dagmara was fantastic throughout the planning process — always available to answer our calls and emails, asking all the right questions to make sure no detail was missed. She made everything feel easy and stress-free.

On the day itself, Jamaal, our event coordinator, was absolutely brilliant. He worked so well with our wedding party, constantly checking in to make sure everyone had what they needed and that everything was running smoothly. His calm and organised approach made such a difference and helped the day flow perfectly.

Lauren was also amazing on the day — she made sure we had plenty of photos taken around the beautiful grounds and was so attentive, even helping my wife with her dress during the photos.

The day ran so seamlessly thanks to everyone involved, and we were completely over the moon with how perfectly everything came together. We’re still on a high from it all!

We would 100% recommend Woolston Manor to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-organised, and reasonably priced wedding venue. The staff truly care about making your day special — and they absolutely delivered for us.

Good Value but not without it's hiccups

We got married here in May 2016, the grounds are stunning and well maintained but the organisation of the wedding staff is quite ridiculous. We saw 5 different people within 14 months to discuss our wedding, each time going over the same details. I constantly had to call them to discuss food tasting etc and they just struggled to keep in contact. Its a really nice venue but it just seems really unprofessional and like the girls didn't have a clue what they were doing. The day went without a hitch and we had a thoroughly great day, the food was amazing but just be aware that a lot of what they say in meetings doesn't actually happen. One of their constant phrases was ' we don't leave bottles of wine on the table like other venues we serve it throughout the meal so that you aren't left with bottles people aren't drinking' this didn't happen there was a selection of 3 wines on each table so just be careful of their detailing because I think it all falls apart on the day. Is it value for money and can the venue be dressed well to look great, YES. Would I chose this venue with the knowledge I have now, No.

I hope this has been helpful.
