Planning a Wedding with your beloved pet?

Laura and Adam’s beautiful wedding is the perfect example of how a day can be both effortlessly stylish and completely family-friendly.
We are incredibly grateful to all our couples that take the time to write about their experiences with us. We love working with couples to deliver their dream day and we hope their experiences will give you an idea about what to expect.
Our wedding day turned out even more beautifully than we could have ever imagined, and so much of that is thanks to this incredible venue and team. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond, and were highly organised, attentive and genuinely caring. Every detail was thoughtfully handled and we felt completely supported throughout the whole process.
The venue itself is stunning, but it’s the warm, approachable team that truly made it special. It all flowed so seamlessly and we’re beyond grateful!

Our wedding on Saturday was the best day of our lives. It was truly magical and so much of that was down to you guys and your beautiful venue. Not only is it a stunning place to get married, your experience and organisation made our day run so smoothly. You guided us through every step and made us feel like our wedding was the only one to be held there. To be somewhere where you’re not made to feel like you’re just one of many, was truly amazing. All of our guests commented on what a beautiful place we had chosen.
We cannot thank you enough for your help, guidance, expert advice and support in pulling of the most special day and we will be forever grateful. Thank you for everything. x

We had our wedding at Hendall Manor barns in June 2023. Hendall was the first venue we visited and we knew we didn’t need to look anywhere else. Nicola and Peter have created the most stunning venue – immaculate and beautifully restored – it is the most perfect, breath-taking place that also feels so relaxed and welcoming.

If you love the idea of your wedding party being able to stay with you, the night before and on the day of your wedding, look no further than Hendall.

Wedding speeches are an integral part of any wedding ceremony, and they offer an opportunity to express your feelings and gratitude towards the newlyweds. It is an opportunity to share your thoughts, memories, and wishes with the wedding couple, their family, and friends.
We had the September wedding of dreams at Hendall Manor Barn. We instantly fell in love with the venue, which is exceptionally well kept and just stunning.
Having the onsite accommodation was such a plus, The Old Granary was the perfect place for me and my bridesmaids to spend the night before and the morning of together! Me and my Husband spent the wedding night in The Cart Barn which was beautiful.
The whole day was incredible, and ran so smoothly thanks to the wonderful team of Nicola, Viki and Peter. Thank you for giving us the perfect wedding day that exceeded all our expectations!

Some places simply leave a lasting impression — and this was one of them.
From the moment we arrived at Hendall Manor Barns, the breathtaking landscape set the tone for what turned out to be a truly special weekend. The accommodation was stunning, spacious, and thoughtfully prepared with everything we could possibly need.
Nicola and Peter were the most wonderful hosts — warm, welcoming, and incredibly kind. Their willingness to accommodate our two poorly dogs at very short notice meant more to us than they will ever know.
The wedding itself was perfect in every way. The venue was beautiful, the food exceptional, and the staff attentive and professional throughout. It was a weekend full of joy, comfort, and care — one we will always remember.
