Top Event Planning Services in Fordingbridge, Hampshire

We were introduced to Parley Manor by attending our god daughter’s wedding. The house and gardens are lovely. Food was tasty and plentiful. For me there were two things that let it down. 1 The proximity to the airport meaning planes were really loud when landing but especially when taking off. This meant we missed some of the vows when a plane took off. 2 Staying in the main house was lovely but the room we were in, Tissy’s Room in the attic was so hot and staff could not be found to ask for a fan or similar to cool the room down. The shared bathroom was a lovely space but after one shower it was like a steam room with no ventilation as the door was a fire door we could not prop it open. The floor was also really squeaky and I worried about waking the children in the room below us.

My husband and I were married at Parley Manor at the end of August over the Bournemouth airshow weekend. We couldn't have had a more perfect day. We first viewed Parley Manor in early 2023 and fell in love with the venue straight away. The gardens are stunning, and as we knew we wanted a summer wedding, this was important to us. It was clear to see so much time and thought goes into the grounds. We went to the open day they held in the spring, which confirmed our choice (especially after trying the pizza straight from their outdoor pizza oven!). Viktorija was fantastic from start to finish; she was extremely patient with us, lovely to deal with, and knowledgeable, and our parents and wedding party thought she was so funny and brought a great energy that kept us all calm in the lead up to our day. Another person who made our day what it was, was David Hopkins, who we hired as our Master of Ceremonies. David, like Viktorija, was worth his weight in gold. We had a call with him in the lead up to the wedding, where he eased any nerves we had and took on the responsibility of the smooth running of the day. He made sure we were where we needed to be, and that we were fed and hydrated throughout the day as it's so easy to get caught up in the excitement! We thought he was fantastic and our guests commented on how great he had been throughout the day too. I stayed in the accommodation the night before which was lovely and had the breakfast box in the morning which was delicious and kept energy levels up. We had the bbq buffet for our wedding breakfast from Merlins and everything was delicious. Guests commented how good everything was and loved having different options available to them. There was something for everyone. The desserts were great too. The pizza as the evening food is an absolute must! It was so good. Ultimately, our day ran extremely smoothly. If anything went wrong, we had absolutely no idea. Viktorija, David and the whole team were seasoned professionals. We wish we could relive the whole day again and again! We'd also recommend getting married over the airshow weekend, it was so fun and brought so much entertainment to all the adults and kids. The whole team, from start to finish, were fantastic, it's left us with memories that will last a lifetime and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you so much Parley Manor team for the best day.

We had our wedding here on the 21.08.2024 and it was everything we wanted, a truly magical day! We wanted an intimate day to celebrate our love with only our close friends and family. As soon as we saw this beautiful venue we knew it had to be the place where we say 'I DO'.

The whole experience was perfect, Viktorija was fantastic every step of the way. Everyone always talks about how stressful it is planning a wedding, but my experience was the opposite, everything was seamless and stress free.

Every element of our wedding day went smoothly, Viktorija coordinated everything so well and dealt with all the set up in the morning so we could just focus on getting ready and enjoying the day.

I would highly encourage brides to use the wagon the night before it was such a beautiful experience to share with my bridal party and added to the excitement of the big day. It was comfortable and had all amenities we could have possibly needed. We also had a lovely continental breakfast the next day which was yummy.

Also, if you are having guests travelling afar I would highly recommend staying in the manor house the night of the wedding, it added that extra special touch to the day and the breakfast the day after was delicious.

This venue is beautiful, And we cannot recommend Parley Manor enough.

Thank you, Viktorija and the team, so much for all the hard work you put in to making our day so magical. It truly was the best day of our lives and the fond memories we share of our day at parley manor will remain with us for the rest our lives.

So thank you so much Zara for working so hard for us. It’s so greatly appreciated! Thank you so much to all the Parley Team X

As soon as me and my now husband saw Parley Manor we knew it was our perfect wedding venue. The day went perfectly, we didn’t have to worry about anything as all the staff made sure we felt at ease throughout the day. The gardens full of flowers were so pretty and the new ceremony marquee was stunning. The Manor House was beautiful and it meant us and our family could stay there the night of our wedding which made it even more special. I also stayed in the Wagon the night before with my bridesmaids which was lovely. We want to say a big thank you to David who was the front of house. He was always around to make sure us and ours guests were happy and had everything we needed. I would recommend Parley Manor to everyone, not only is it beautiful but how organised everything is made the day flow perfectly. Thank you to the team at Parley Manor for the best day ever, one we will never forget!
