EXCELLENT Based on 134 reviews Hannah Piper20 October 2024 A massive thank you to Emma and Mark for letting us hold our wedding at Gildredge Manor in August this year! We had the most amazing day with all of our family and friends, and a huge part of this was due to all of the help and expertise from Emma and Mark in the run up to our special day. From the offset, Emma offered us so much information about the venue, suggested tips and great suppliers, and was on hand to answer all of our questions. Coupling all of this with an initial in-person tour of the venue, we immediately fell in love with the venue as it ticked every single box for us! We really appreciated being able to visit the venue multiple times during our planning (and see how others decorated the venue for their weddings), as it never failed to fill us with both happiness and inspiration ahead of our wedding day. During our final planning meeting with Mark, it became even more apparent that it already was that the whole Gildredge team are experts at what they do - nothing is too much and no small detail is overlooked. Emma, Mark and Jackie were all amazing at making our wedding day run so smoothly, and we wholeheartedly thank them and the whole team for making sure that we could fully focus on having the best time without stressing at all about anything! Gildredge Manor has so many beautiful spaces to enjoy both inside and outside, and we had to do very little in terms of decoration as the venue is stunning as it is! We of course added some personal touches of our own to the venue (i.e. flowers and table decorations), and the team were incredible at making our personal additions multi-task as they were able to move them around the venue throughout the day for us as well. We absolutely loved every part of our wedding at Gildredge Manor and cannot recommend this venue enough! Thank you once again! Julian Long11 October 2024 When to wedding here, stunning place with lovely gardens. Staff, great, and service perfect. Kate and Kate10 October 2024 We absolutely love working at Gildredge Manor! It’s spacious, beautiful, and full of character, with the most gorgeous garden—ideal for that dreamy Bridgerton-style wedding. The manor has such an elegant charm, but it's also wonderfully relaxed, allowing for the perfect mix of grandeur and comfort. At Kate and Kate, we love officiating wedding celebration ceremonies here because it gives couples the chance to create something truly personal and magical. The staff are so accomodating and easy to work with. If you’re looking for a venue with serious wow-factor and space to celebrate in style, Gildredge Manor is a real gem! Constance Vane8 October 2024 We had our wedding at gildredge manor on 28th September and it was AMAZING. The venue is stunning, and the few tiny things that worried us turned out to not be a problem at all!! If you’re worried about the lack of parking don’t be!! None of our guests had any issues at all. The venue is spaced out and we were worried we might lose some guests but this absolutely did not happen, having different rooms meant that people could go to different areas for a different vibe (eg a lot of our older relatives enjoyed being able to have a conversation in the library and get away from the noise 🤣) Mark and Jackie and the rest of the team made sure the whole day went so smoothly, nothing was too much trouble for them, we had a totally stress free day with them running everything!! Emma was a great communicator and answered all the silly questions you have when you’re planning a wedding. If you are thinking of booking, do it, we don’t have a single negative thing to say!! PS we LOVED finding this pic of Jackie and the bar staff in our photo booth album the next day!!!! Gave us a big laugh!!! Lucy Worby30 June 2024 Me and my husband got married here a month ago and it was the most perfect day that we could have wished for. A beautiful venue which will forever hold a place in our hearts. Mark and Emma have been wonderful and Jackie was absolutely fabulous on the day. All our guests commented on what an amazing, chilled vibe it was all day. Perfect! Paul Williams13 June 2024 My daughter and her new husband had a wonderful day the staff and venue were fantastic. Mark could not have done enough for us he was so accomodating and helpful. Jackie also was amazing and helped organise the day which kept our daughter calm and enabled her and her husband to enjoy their special day. Jade Bailey2 June 2024 Wow. What a venue. From the get go communication with Emma was incredible. Nothing was too much trouble for her, no matter what time the email. On the day and leading up Mark was on hand to ease any worry, he was so welcoming and really put us at ease that everything would be taken care of and for us to not worry at all. Jackie was amazing on the day, so calming and really looked after not just us but our family and friends as well. We couldn't have asked for better and are so pleased that we found what I would like to call a hidden gem. Thank you to the whole team from the bottom of our hearts, our wedding was perfect thanks to all of the effort you put in. We would recommend to everyone to go and view this amazing venue, you will be so pleased you did! Mr & Mrs Bailey, 25.05.2024 John Winder30 September 2023 Cheryl Woollard19 September 2023 We got married at Gildredge Manor on the 2nd of September and we had an amazing day. The Manor is so beautiful and the different spaces work so well, giving space for guests, areas to relax away from the dance floor when needed etc. Communication with Emma and Mark was always really great right from the start all the way through to the wedding. Jackie, Mark and the team were all great on the day and I was able to just enjoy myself and didn't have to worry about anything. Our guests had a lovely day and commented how beautiful the Manor is. Highly recommend for anyone planning their wedding/event. Claire Elizabeth15 September 2023 My husband and I got married at Gildredge Manor at the end of August and we loved it. From the start, Mark was incredible. He was polite, helpful and a pleasure to chat with. Never afraid to go the extra mile. On the day, both Jackie and Mark were our rock, letting us know where we needed to be and when, making sure everything was sorted. I didn't need to worry about anything! Thank you so much!
