Old Down Manor

The staff at Old Down Manor were so helpful as the majority of our communication was via email as we live in Canada. They were very flexible with us and we did our food tasting a year before as that was when we were over to visit. They let us decide on our floor plan and were extremely knowledgeable and helpful and let us know what would and wouldn't work. The food was delicious and they were able to deal with a number of allergies that a few of our guests had. The facilities were outstanding.

We got married at old down manor on the 3rd September 2016 and the day from start to finish was absolutely perfect. We booked our venue 18 months before the day and the contact we had with Olivia was amazing. She was so helpful with every question we had, and even gave us suggestions for the day. I couldn't have asked for a better venue or a better team for my big day! Would definitely recommend to friends and family

The food was delicious, the staff decorated the venue beautifully, the staff were friendly on the wedding day, the location and stunning scenery surrounding the venue was outstanding (particularly the rose garden). Given the price of the wedding, the venue should have mended a broken window in the orangery prior to our wedding and the organisation on the day could have been improved (i.e., instructing guests to watch the cutting of the cake/first dance etc.)

The team at Old Down Manor were absolutely brilliant right from the start from before booking them to the day. They were brilliant at all my requests and able to accommodate them all. The pre-wedding meetings were really useful and help. In particular they were able to accommodate what we wanted for our wedding breakfast which was an Indian (slightly fusion) themed - the chef did an AMAZING job, everyone still speaks about it. The day itself went smoothly and the whole team had a smily face

We couldn't be happier that we chose to get married at Old Down Estate. The service was amazing, the food was delicious and our guests were absolutely blown away by the incredible building and views. I would be happy to recommend to anyone looking for a really memorable wedding day.

Everything about Old Down Estate was fantastic from start to finish and it will always be the most special place to us. The staff were so friendly and helpful, we were amazed that they always remembered us by name at their wedding fayres. They also went out of their way to accommodate our menu tasting when we couldn't make the organised events. The venue itself is stunning and always so clean and bright, we were so proud to invite our friends and family there for the most amazing day ever.

Thank you Old Down for the wedding of our dreams!! We couldn't have been happier with how our day went. Special thanks to Joey, our wedding coordinator, for helping us throughout our planning and ensuring that our day ran smoothly. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Everything on the day was perfect - the food, the slick organisation of guests, as well as the beautiful rooms we were lucky to stay in afterwards. Wish we could do it all over again!!

Emma has been nothing but helpful we originally were getting married at another venue but 2 months before wedding the venue suffered water damaged which then we found old down. Emma helped us so much in getting our wedding sorted in the very short space of time which took a massive load of stress off us. When it came to the wedding day she unfortunately had an injury to her hip but still came in to make sure we were all set for our wedding and to introduce Jason who would co-ordinate our wedding day. Jason was amazing so fun and helped our day go so smoothly even giving my future husband a shot of Dutch courage� to settle his nerves. All our guests said how lovely the venue and staff were. Thank you all

Hi Emma Thank you very much!! We had an absolutely amazing day!! It was exactly how we dreamed it would be and more :D and thank you for totally getting our sense of humour and being so much fun to work with! We are so glad you were there on the day! If you could pass our big thanks to everyone else that would be great, especially to Molly (I think that’s her name, very sorry if not) who helped us so much the day before! Yes we are both happy for you to use our photos. Big thanks again, without you I don’t think our wedding would have been as amazing and as funny!! Best wishes Georgie x

The staircase, the atrium, the chandeliers, the lovely Ian Towers playing our favourite S ong on his piano.... sold! We had the perfect wedding day on 25th May 2018, despite the rain, the sun finally came out. Not only are the venue, grounds and views stunning, but the bridal suite is simply stunning and we had the privilege of getting ready in it. Started the day off perfectly. Highly recommend the preferred suppliers - their preferred for a reason. Becci from Bijoux floral design created a floral vision aswell as an epic staircase. Stunning. Rebecca Faith Photography, beautiful lady inside and out. Understood and captured every moment. Ian Towers, a legend on the piano! Even learned new songs for us, set the scene perfectly. And finally Katie, Jason and the team. Felt in complete safe hands the whole time, nothing was too much trouble. Jason looked after us all day and added lots of personal touches throughout. Old down now has a very special place in our heart, we will be back soon! Xx
