Ceremonies: There are three options for your wedding ceremony at Cornwell Manor:
1. St Peter’s Church on site can accommodate up to 80 guests (or 100 with standing room). Please note for Church weddings you must adhere to the strict guidelines set out by the Church of England with regard to establishing a qualifying connection with this parish. There is a fee of £250 + VAT for all church weddings, in addition to any fees directly payable to the Church. There are other bigger local churches available as well.
2. The Ballroom is licenced for civil ceremonies, which can seat up to 100 guests. (Please note it is hired empty and you are required to hire your own furniture to suit your event).
3. An outdoor ceremony by the fountain on the croquet lawn or in the Ballroom walled garden. In case of rain we recommend you hire an A-Frame structure or a stretch tent to cover these areas. Charlotte can direct you to the relevant supplier for this.
We will never forget Cornwell Manor and the people who worked so hard to make our wedding the most magical occasion. From the pool party to the wedding, to the “Bon Voyage” brunch, there wasn’t a moment that didn’t exceed our wildest dreams for our wedding weekend! Charlotte & all the team were so wonderful and Cornwell Manor will forever be in our family’s heart!

Cornwell Manor was described by one of our guests as ‘the stuff dreams are made of’ and we thought pretty much the same. Charlotte and her team were fantastic hosts. Nothing was too much trouble, there was always somebody there when you had any query or panic, and the house becomes your home until you leave. The wedding itself was wonderful and went without a hitch, and the grounds had been prepared to perfection. Perfect, perfect, perfect.

We just celebrated our wedding at Cornwell Manor and what an amazing home, full of warmth & eccentricity!

Thank you Charlotte for an experience we will never forget.

Charlotte, Oly & Lenka - I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your help, kindness and patience over the weekend. It was a real success and would not have been so without you all! The delicious food (which all the guests were seriously impressed by), the constant fires burning in every room, and everyone's willingness to help with my various and random requests really made the event extra special! Cornwell Manor is the most amazing venue. Thank you.

Cornwell Manor provided so much more than the most beautiful setting for the perfect wedding. It became our home for the weekend and we loved the informality and the fun that we all had while we were there. In the months leading up to the wedding, nothing could have been too much trouble for Charlotte and the Cornwell team and ‘can do’ was always the mantra. Dream location, dream team, dream wedding - thank you!

Everything,from the chapel and beautiful surroundings,the wonderful staff, lead by Charlotte,who made the day perfection,and one that we will treasure always. Our thanks to Charlotte and her wonderful team.
July 2018, Andrew and Paddy Ward.
From the moment we first contacted you, 18 months ago, to plan Tali & Tom’s wedding, we have been made to feel one of your family at Cornwell Manor. The kindness and friendship shown to all of us, made this experience an absolute pleasure. We have felt so at home in the most glorious and glamorous setting and our guests were awed at every turn in the beautiful gardens and welcoming rooms and fireplaces. There was no request too great and your wonderful team went out of their way to fulfil our every whim. We are all so sad to leave, but take with us the most exquisite memories of the most incredible wedding of our daughter. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
