The ceremony space at Shendish Manor Hotel & Golf Course

Situated in 160 acres of parkland, Shendish Manor Hotel & Golf Course is the perfect blend of elegance and modern design. With stunning high-ceilings complete with chandeliers and antique fireplaces, the spaces available will wow any guests.

Guests can easily travel to the venue with excellent transportation links nearby and 200 car parking spaces. As they drive through the parkland setting, they’ll find beautifully manicured Dutch gardens with fountains and a miniature maze.

The venue features two different locations, including the beautiful mansion house steeped in history that can offer a traditional feel for a big day for up to 96 day guests and 160 guests in the evening. The Apsley Suite provides a more contemporary feel and can accommodate up to 280 guests for a sit-down meal with a dancefloor – perfect for internal and external catered weddings.

Ceremony spaces include The Longman Suite (90) or The Dickinson Suite (96) which are both located in the manor house with beautiful views and complete with chandeliers and fireplaces. The large stone Manor Gazebo (96) is located in the manicured Dutch Manor Gardens while The Apsley Gazebo (400) is great for larger weddings with the option of a fantastic 360 guest view of the ceremony and is located in the Apsley Walled Landscaped Gardens. 

Or why not opt for The Apsley Suite (400) which is perfect for large celebrations in a contemporary space with direct access to private gardens? Lastly, the Orangery Restaurant (120) features glass-panelled walls overlooking the beautiful Dutch Manor Gardens.

We love... When couples book the venue, they’ll receive a complimentary menu tasting included in the Classic and Elegance Package and a four-poster bridal suite for the night of the wedding.

One in seven couples choose sleep over sex on their wedding night

One in seven couples choose sleep over sex on their wedding night

As the UK's spring and summer wedding season begins, new research by Mattress Online suggests the traditional idea of a passion-filled wedding night doesn't always match reality, with one in six couples (15%) saying they did not have sex after their big day. To understand why, the bed experts also asked survey respondents what their reasoning was behind this. They also provided additional insight on the idea of the "wedding night" from Relationship Expert, Jenni Trent Hughes. The findings show that exhaustion was by far the most common factor, with more than two in five (44%) of couples saying they were simply too tired after the celebrations.
