What Our Couples Say.....

"A superb venue for my daughter's wedding. The staff were gracious and helpful. The food was delicious and the surroundings beautiful. From the string quartet welcoming guests and the grand sitting rooms with log fires, to the imposing ball room with vaulted ceiling, a wonderful wedding venue. A fantastic day!"
Kathryn Charles
We have just got married at Thornton Manor and the whole experience has exceeded our expectations! I can't rate this place highly enough. Firstly, when we went to view the venue Georgie took us around and showed us all 3 locations. Georgie was great and really took an interest in us and we ended up booking the Manor. After booking we went back to a couple of their open house/wedding fair days. These were really useful as we were able to pick our various suppliers there. The suppliers they use are fantastic. On the day of our wedding everything ran brilliantly. Everyone knew what everyone was doing and the whole day ran meticulously. There was no stress, the staff where attentive and marshalled everyone without harassing the bride or groom, and honestly I couldn't have asked for a better day. We had a great day and I can't praise the venue enough. In summary: use Thornton Manor. They're exceptional."
Michael Smith
"We can't rate the staff or the venue highly enough. Beautiful music room which is a perfect ceremony or wedding breakfast room. The wedding organisers know their stuff and help you to organise your day to exactly what you want and ensure it goes off without a hitch. Fabulous cottages available for guests to hire, i stayed the night before with bridesmaids, and the lodge we had was immaculate. Everything you needed was available, they also provided a good range of breakfast choices, fruit and pastries. Would highly highly recommend the venue for its beauty and the staff for their energy, calmness, knowledge and expertise to help you get the day of your dreams."
