This wedding venue was everything we dreamed of and more. The location drew us in and the package sealed the deal. From the second we arrived, we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The pavilion was gorgeous and I could instantly see my self getting married there. The staff were perfection, nothing was too much for them. Paige was amazing and was so helpful on the lead up and on our special day. The day ran smoothly, there were no hiccups, no rushing and everything flowed perfectly. All the guests commented on how stunning it was and how it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. If you are thinking of booking here, do it! You won’t regret it. I woul

We had the most magical day at Highley for our wedding, we didn’t want it to end. The entire team are so wonderful, kind and couldn’t do enough for us and our guests. Communication was regular through the whole process and they were so flexible when it came to tweaking things for our day. The onsite accommodation, beautiful grounds and exclusive use of the venue were what sold it for us, but spending the day with such an incredible team was such a joy and that is what will stay with us forever. We are beyond

We honestly could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we booked right through to our wedding day, everything was handled so professionally and with such care. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and our guests haven’t stopped telling us how beautiful it was. A huge thank you has to go to our wedding coordinator, Sam. She was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble, she was always calm, organised and reassuring, and she made sure every single detail came together exactly as we had envisioned. On the day itself, she worked tirelessly behind the scenes so we could simply relax and enjoy every moment. Knowing Sam was there gave us complete confidence that everything was in safe hands. The entire team went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for everything they did. We genuinely had the best day of our lives, and so much of that is thanks to the wonderful staff and the exceptional service we received. And the food was honestly top tier, all of our loved ones can't stop talking about it. If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, don

Fell in love from the first initial viewing. The venue and views are absolutely stunning! All the staff were so lovely and helpful the whole way through the process, they made the day feel stress free. All the guests commented how nice all the food was throughout the day. The get ready room was lovely for me and my bridal party. The honeymoon suite was gorgeous, loved a moment on the balcony at the end of the night

Highley Manor operates as an incredibly efficient wedding venue where everything is executed beautifully. The planning process was seamless, and the package they offer really takes the stress out of the build-up, including a brilliant food taster session that gave us a perfect preview of what was to come. Our coordinator, Yvette, was amazing, frequently touching base with us and seamlessly managing suppliers on the day to resolve any hiccups and make everything literally perfect. The venue itself is timeless, beautifully clean, and boasts a fantastic, well-stocked bar. Having on site accommodation made things incredibly easy for us and our guests, who were absolutely blown away by the exceptional quality of the wedding breakfast and the breakfast th

We had our wedding at Highley Manor and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day. From the moment we first visited the venue, the team made us feel welcome and supported throughout the entire planning process. A special thank you has to go to Sarah and Lucie, our wedding coordinators, who were the most supportive and helpful people we could have asked for. They were with us every step of the way, always on hand to answer questions, calm nerves, and make sure everything was running smoothly. Sarah even helped calm me down just before I walked down the aisle, which meant so much and is something I will never forget. Their kindness, reassurance, and professionalism made the whole experience feel effortless. On the day itself, everything ran so smoothly that we were able to relax and just enjoy every moment with our family and friends. The venue looked absolutely stunning, and the staff were friendly, professional, and always one step ahead. The food was also exceptional, so many of our guests told us it was the best wedding food they have ever had, which speaks volumes about the quality and care that went into everything. We had so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was and how perfectly organised the whole day felt. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make our wedding so special and unforgettable. Thank you for playing such a big part in one of the best days of our lives. We wouldn’t hesitate to recomme

We got married end of April at Highley Manor and honestly had the day of dreams ✨💍 from meeting Jess in July 2025 (who is absolutely incredible by the way, an absolute asset to HM) on our first venue viewing… to arranging our final details meeting with Paige (the best co-ordinator we could have ever asked for). The whole team including the evening takeover staff went above and beyond dealing with everything in their stride and keeping everything under control and everyone safe & happy. We are forever grateful to have had such an incredible, special and unforgettable Wedding Day full of laughter, happiness & lifelong precious memories. The food was delicious, the venue spotless and stunning, the DJ was spot on. Our Co-Ordinator Paige was calm, professional, lovely and completely on top of things. She kept the day running smoothly and made us feel at ease instantly. We fell in love with Highley Manor the moment we saw it and are so glad we chose this

Our wedding at Highley Manor was truly perfect. The venue itself is stunning, but what really made the experience exceptional was the team behind it, especially Yvette. Every detail was handled so professionally, calmly and smoothly that we were able to completely relax and enjoy the day with our friends and family. From the planning stages right through to the evening, everyone was so kind and helpful, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. We had amazing feedback from all of our guests, many saying it was one of the best weddings they had attended. A huge thank you to the entire Highley Manor team for making our wedding feel so magical and effortless. We are incredibly grateful.
