FAQs

With relation to their weddings, what steps do you take to understand the personality, style and aspirations of each of your wedding couples?

Our wedding planners are masters at creating the perfect day for the wedding couple, the love meeting all the individual and different couples and helping them plan their day. Every wedding we run is different due to couples own taste and personality so its always exciting getting to see how each couple plan and design their day and how that will look in the venue. No wedding is ever the same at the manor due to this.

How do you manage the client journey from viewing, booking and through to the wedding day and beyond?

We know that a client journey begins from the moment they find our website, see us on social media or receive one of our emails that we need to wow them. We ensure that that process of making an enquiry with us is as easy and as straight forward as possible and ensure that as soon as an enquiry has been made that we send the couple a personal email to ensure they have all the information they require. We ensure that the booking procedure is straight forward and easy for the couple ensuring that they are aware of all the payments options that are available to them. We love to ensure that the wedding couple feel comfortable well informed and know that we are always on the other end of a phone or email to answer any question they might have. We try to obtain as much information as possible about our couples to ensure that everything is personal and bespoke to them. After the wedding we ensure that we get feedback and take all notes and points on board. We try to create an unbelievable client experience to ensure that they spread the word about Southdowns Manor.

How do you identify and adapt to changing trends in the wedding industry?

Step Towards Accelerating The Path For Sustainability We are all too aware of the impact that global climate change is having on our planet. At Southdowns Manor we have already been making changes in the last few years to ensure we are part of the solution to the problem, rather than a contributor. Now, we are taking another step towards accelerating the path for sustainability. For every wedding that is booked with us going forward, we will pledge to plant a tree with the National Trust. That means that with each wedding we host, we will be donating one tree to give back to our Earth! We can't wait to build a greener future together.
