About Woodland Manor Weddings

Woodland Manor is a truly elegant setting for your wedding day, a place where history, romance, and effortless sophistication come together. Nestled within tranquil gardens, our Victorian manor offers the perfect backdrop for both intimate celebrations and grand gatherings including 34 ensuite bedrooms. We have 3 main rooms here at the manor; The large Victorian dining room called 'The Autograph', the Library and the Conservatory. We are licensed for legal Civil Ceremonies of up to 112 guests, can host a wedding breakfast for 110, and welcome up to 150 evening guests. The Victorian dining room 'Autograph', adorned with sparkling chandeliers and soaring ceilings, creates an atmosphere of understated luxury. Its soft, neutral palette allows you to bring your own chic, modern style to life. We have an adjacent Library which is great intimate space for a Telephone box audio message, Crepe stand and evening food. At Woodland Manor, we believe no two weddings should ever be the same. Each celebration is thoughtfully curated, a tailor-made experience that reflects you as a couple. Whether it’s Espresso Martinis, Aperol Spritz and Peroni served alongside elegant charcuterie cones, or a two-course dinner followed by a sharing dessert board, every detail is designed around your vision. We do also have traditional packages available if you're wishing for a timeless & classic day. If your perfect day involves having a marquee on the lawn, we can accommodate that too! And for the ultimate finishing touch? A Champagne tower, poured by you, to mark the start of your unforgettable celebration. From your first visit to the last dance, our team will ensure every moment feels effortless, personal, and perfectly you.

We had a lovely day on our wedding at Woodland Manor. Throughout the whole process of planning the wedding the staff were great at communicating with us and would always answer any questions we had throughout our wedding journey. The staff are always so friendly and everyone at our wedding complimented how lovely the food was. The venue is stunning and our guests love the variety of drinks Woodland manor had to offer. The bridal suite was beautiful and spacious and it was so lovely being able to get ready in there with my bridesmaids. There were just a few minor issues that we had during our day. The first was issues with music during our ceremony. Walking down the aisle the music was very quiet at first and hard to hear and then our exit song down the aisle couldn’t really be heard till after we had walked down the aisle. The other was that we felt a bit rushed to do cake cutting and our first dance in the evening but we understand that the staff did not have much time to change the room around after the meal. Another small thing was that when I was getting ready the morning of the wedding I was told that they thought my ceremony was at 12pm (the ceremony was at 3pm), which I felt this was something they should have known as they had gone through our schedule wi

It’s hard to know where to begin with this review. From the moment we enquired on Hitched with Woodland Manor we received quick responses from Frankie and this continued for the 11 months we were planning. The venue is stunning - the outside space is beautiful and we chose to have our day outside in the sunshine. The venue looked beautiful on the day and had been set up exactly as requested. The rooms are beautiful all of our guests had a great stay and commented how nice the rooms were and how well they slept. Each room is slightly different so it doesn’t feel like a hotel and more like a large Manor House we used for the weekend. The food was great. The chefs were completely flexible and allowed us to tweak the menu to suit what we envisaged and we also went for a flexible drinks package allowing us to purchase what we knew our guests would drink and plenty of it! I also hosted a bridal party afternoon tea in the build up to our wedding and I would be surprised if there is a better afternoon tea in all of Bedfordshire. The food was perfection with all dietary requirements catered for. We had some complex allergies within our guests and everything was fine and there were no issues at all. Finally the biggest thank you has to go to the staff. I’ve already mentioned Frankie but I must also mention how on the day she went above and beyond. She ensured that as the bride and groom we didn’t need to worry about a thing and made sure we got some time to ourselves and were topped up and fed all day. In regards to the rest of the team - all of the times we were in the hotel before and during the wedding every single member of the team from reception to food and beverage to housekeeping was exceptional. The feeling we and all our guests left with was that they couldn’t do enough for us. My husband and I met working at a wedding venue and this has to be the best team we’ve ever come across. The owner is hands on and working alongside and you can see what a wonde

We fell in love with the venue as soon as we visited, it was the perfect mix of fancy and cozy for our autumn wedding. The team has been so helpful the whole time, especially on the day - any issues out of their control were handled perfectly and I was very relaxed knowing it was all under control! The food was delicious, we had lots of comments from the guests on how great it was. We also appreciated being able to book the whole hotel - it made it feel like such

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Woodland Manor for your big day - we unfortunately had another venue cancel on us and Woodland Manor did as much as they could to keep the price comparable and make it as easy as possible for us whilst we went through the stress of changing all our plans. The venue is perfect for a weddin

Our day was made perfect by the friendly team at woodland! Our vision of the day was brilliantly made by the staff with little direction. Reasonably priced. Some minor issues; slight issues with communication across the team. Once replied to an email or spoken on the phone with someone, I quite often was chased for things that I’d already sorted. Also, there was going to be a surprise afternoon tea for me night before however a receptionist did tell me on arrival. Another occasion I asked the venue if they could provide tables for my sweet table and was told no, later I was told yes they could. The venue did run out of alcohol during the evening of the wedding, although the venue quickly resolved the issue by popping to local shop, my
