In March I became a 'preferred supplier' at the beautiful Old Down Manor. As you can imagine I was so chuffed as it is such a stunning and well respected wedding venue. What makes it event more special is that the venue is on my doorstep and I spent my childhood going to the grounds of the Manor House to pick strawberries with my Grandparents! Lots of happy memories of the venue.

Found in the picturesque hamlet of Old Down in South Gloucestershire, Old Down Manor really is one of the premier wedding venues in the area. And it really is the perfect location for a wedding, both big and small.

As a private country house, when couples hire it for their wedding (or for any other celebration), it is exclusively theirs all day. This allows for fantastic flexibility in tailoring the venue to suit the style of the wedding. It also means for complete privacy and intimacy.

Amongst other gorgeous rooms in the main house, the wedding ceremony takes place in their newly built Orangery overlooking a rose garden as well as having breathtaking panoramic views. It is also licensed to provide Civil Ceremonies in the Drawing Room as well as a the Magnificent Hall with its romantic sweeping staircase and vaulted glass ceilings. After the ceremony, guests can spill out onto the lawn and enjoy drinks overlooking the countryside and views across the Severn before heading in for the wedding breakfast.

At Old Down Manor there are two lovely Wedding Coordinators, Lucy and Adele, who help couples every step of the way. There is also the very lovely Olivia of Host Event Management also on hand. There is a talented team of chefs, providing a full catering service for all elements of a wedding day.

And finally, Old Down Manor has eight bedrooms including a stunning bridal suite all with an eclectic mix of modern and antique furniture and gorgeous decor. And don't forget the swimming pool which guests can enjoy the next day!

It has everything a bride and groom, along with all their guests would need. I couldn't recommend Old Down Manor highly enough and am thrilled to be working with them.
