Merrydale Manor

I don’t think wedding venues get better than this place. From start to finish we were supported by all the wonderful staff. They were attentive to all our questions and really helped when we didn’t have a clue. They have a helpful list of amazing preferred suppliers and the venue is beautiful. I would highly recomm

The second we stepped through into Merrydale Manor, we knew this venue was the one. Every area is kept so neat and beautiful, so we knew we'd have the most beautiful backdrop to all our photos throughout the day. They had great communication throughout, ensuring we had time to sit down with a wedding coordinator near the beginning of our planning and about 6 weeks before to finalise the details. They were always so responsive by email and on the phone for the million questions I had and were really receptive to any of our requests for minor changes to fit our needs. The venue is full accessible for wheelchair users which was really important for a couple of our guests, and since many of our vendors were Manchester based, they already knew the venue already which put us at ease. They have multiple rooms where a civil ceremony is registered to take place, which made it much simpler for logistics on the day itself. Our only issue was the opening times were quite late so we couldn't use all the great facilities such as a the man cave and the bridal suite as much as we would have liked. Drew and Sophie were our wedding coordinators on the day, and we spoke to Nikita and Robyn who helped with the planning. All were super lovely and helpful throughout the process. I'd highly recommend Merrydale Manor for

Our wedding at Merrydale Manor was nothing short of perfect. From the very beginning, nothing was ever too much to ask—the team truly went the extra mile in every possible way. One thing that made a huge difference was being able to drop off and store our items during the week of the wedding. It took so much pressure off the day before, allowing us to actually relax and enjoy the lead-up. They even arranged transport for myself and the bridesmaids to their local pub (which is a 10/10!) and back again, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the experience even more special. I stayed on-site in the eco lodges, which were absolutely beautiful—such a peaceful and luxurious space. The entire venue is breathtaking, and somehow even more stunning in person than in photos. The staff were incredible—warm, welcoming, friendly, and completely hands-on. They ensured everything ran smoothly and had the foresight to quietly handle anything before it could become an issue. They truly brought our vision to life. The bedrooms are stunning, and the beds are unbelievably comfortable. We had the Manor House, honeymoon suite, and courtyard rooms, and all of our guests who stayed absolutely loved them. We couldn’t ha

We cannot thank Merrydale enough for hosting our amazing day, from start to finish everything went so smoothly. The staff was amazing and could not do enough for us and our guests, you are an amazing team. A big special thank you to McKenzie who was with me all morning and made sure everything was perfect. From the first time we visited Merrydale on an opening day we knew this venue was the one for us. Michael had shown us around this stunning venue and we instantly fell in love. We are so pleased we picked Merrydale to host our wedding, all of our guests have complemented on how beautiful the venue was, how everything just went perfect & how all the staff was so lovely. All the staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, myself and my husband did not have to worry about anything, we was able to enjoy our full day with our family and friends as everything was taken care off. We knew our day would be beautiful but it exceeded all of our expectations and we cannot thank you all enough for helping us achieve this. Thank you again for giving us memories of a lifetime- we

From the moment we visited Merrydale Manor we fell in love with the place. Every time we visited Merrydale for wedding meetings etc.. the grounds and buildings were stunning, not a blade of grass out of place, it even looked stunning in Winter time. The team here are incredible, they gave you confidence from the start that everything would be taken care of and your day would be perfect. On the wedding day itself they had a team of people looking after the wedding making sure every single detail no matter how big or small was taken care of and ran smoothly. Every room in the venue, Ceremony room, Wedding breakfast room etc.. was utterly stunning, our expectations were quite high and they far exceeded these. Most of the people that came to our wedding said that it was the best wedding they had every been to and the food and service provided by Barretts was impeccable. Thank you so much for making our wedding the most memorable day of our lives and an incredible experience. Merrydale Manor have set the ba

I got married here in October 2025 and it was better than I ever could have imagined. We were lucky enough to stay at the venue the night before and night of the wedding with all our nearest and dearest. All the staff were so attentive and made sure our stay was comfortable. Georgia couldn’t have done any more for us if she tried, without her those couple of days wouldn’t have run that smoothly. We felt so relaxed and calm the morning of the wedding thanks to Georgias professionalism and guidance. She was such a calming presence to have around and kept us all on time and organised! Not to mention this place is absolutely insane, from the beauty room, to bedrooms, to ceremony room and everything in between, it really does have everything you could hope for! My husband was particularly grateful for a couple of beers and a game of pool to calm the pre wedding nerves in the cave - what

Choosing Merrydale Manor for our wedding is one of the best decisions I ever made. I visited 13 different venues and the minute I arrived at Merrydale Manor, I knew it was the one. The whole Merrydale Team are so incredibly friendly and welcoming, they make you feel like you are part of the family. They are so supportive and always on hand to answer any questions. Nothing is ever too much trouble. We have such magical memories of our special day. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The whole venue is impeccable, every detail is beautifully designed to wow you and your guests. They really did make all our dreams come true. The wedding team’s amazing organisation and ability to help with every detail made the whole day run

Getting married at Merrydale is a truly wonderful experience, and if you’re lucky enough to have the option to get married there - don’t think twice! The exceptional grounds speak for themselves, but there’s so much more to Merrydale than what instantly meets your eyes as you enter the premises. Everything is immaculate, the attention to detail is second to none. The ceremony room, Merrydale Suite, the makeup room, the Cave, the rooms & more are all just exquisite. If you want to have a stress free wedding day and not even have to think about what your own name is, then Merrydale is the place for you. The staff - including the wedding planners, toastmaster, Barrett’s - are simply incredible. Everything ran like a military operation on the day, which allowed everyone to relax and enjoy themselves completely. The compliments we got from our guests on everything - from the grounds, atmos

Merrydale Manor & its team truly made our wedding day what it was. The venue is stunning & all of our guests were in awe! The team (both on the day and prior) were so helpful and calming, and nothing was ever too much to ask for. You really do get your value for money; the whole grounds are immaculate & the Manor House was perfect for my family the night before the wedding. Our co-ordinator on the day, Georgia, was a friendly face that kept popping up every so often to check I was ok & if I needed anything. She could tell when I was getting a little nervous or overwhelmed and knew how to calm me down. I feel like all the staff at Merrydale know how and what to say at the right times. There was no one that didn’t

Everything was perfect, from the first open day visit and being personally met by Michael Irlam, offering his personal number from day 1, to the months of perfect customer service leading up to the day, to e

We had our wedding at Merrydale Manor in July, and it was truly the most perfect day we could have imagined! From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. The venue itself is absolutely stunning — elegant, romantic, and beautifully maintained inside and out. Every guest commented on how breathtaking the setting was and how exceptional the service felt. The staff were incredible — professional, friendly, and genuinely invested in making our day so special. The food was outstanding, the accommodation luxurious, and the whole experience felt seamless and stress-free, allowing us to take everything in and just enjoy our day without any worries.

We recently celebrated our wedding at Merrydale Manor, and it truly was everything we could have wished for and more. From the moment we first visited on an open day, right through to the big day itself, the entire Merrydale team went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. The venue is absolutely stunning, but what really makes it special are the incredible people who run it. Every member of staff was professional, approachable, and genuinely caring. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and no matter how many questions we asked or how many times we visited, we always felt welcomed and reassured that we were in the very best hands. We'd like to especially mention, Nikita, who supported us throughout the planning journey with such calm, kindness, and attention to detail; Robyn, for always being so helpful and accommodating; and McKenzie, who was simply phenomenal on the day itself. She kept everything running smoothly, was wonderfully reassuring, and showed such patience and warmth, especially with our young daughter, Thea, who absolutely adored her. Our wedding at Merrydale Manor exceeded every expectation, it was magical from start to finish. We honestly can’t recommend this venue and its amazing team highly enough. If you’re looking for a place that combines breathtaking beauty with exceptional service, Merrydale Manor is the dream venue with the dream team. We wish we could do it all again!
