Planning a big bash? No problem – the grand Ballroom can comfortably host up to 300 guests.

There’s nothing the experienced team at Manor By The Lake doesn’t know about weddings, so whatever your style and theme, you can count on them to bring your vision to life. The talented chefs will whip up delicious dishes to suit your theme (using only the freshest local ingredients, of course), whilst your dedicated wedding coordinator will help you plan down to the last detail. And with a wealth of experience in delivering all types of weddings to suit all faiths, cultures, and religions, you’re definitely in safe hands at Manor By The Lake in the Cotswolds.
