Showstopping Sandon Estate

Tastefully traditional or dazzlingly different, Sandon Estate is a magical canvas for showstopping weddings. Sandon Manor House is an exquisite Georgian mansion with ornamental gardens, providing the perfect backdrops to dream weddings and many photographic locations to discover. 

The enchanting country escape is nestled amidst 1,200 acres of rolling countryside, just an hour from London. The team offers a variety of options for ceremonies both inside the barns, Sandon Manor House or outside on the grounds of Sandon Manor estate. The stunning, environmentally friendly conversion of historic barns stands just metres from Sandon Manor. It’s an exceptionally stylish and flexible space to create bespoke weddings with a romantic, historic, yet elegant ambience. Sandon Manor is situated by the Medieval Hall; this stunning Grade II listed manor house has been recently refurbished and provides sumptuous accommodation for the wedding party, sleeping 18 across seven bedrooms. 

Multiple reception rooms and dining spaces allow excellent pre- and post-wedding celebrations. It seats up to 150 guests and transforms seamlessly into a hall for celebrations. With dramatic beams, a stunning cocktail celebration bar, surround sound and party lighting within the dance pod, this is an inspirational and magical space for feasting and dancing the night away. The stunningly appointed Dovecot sits next to The Medieval Hall offers a perfect Bridal Suite complete with a double bed in a mezzanine bedroom, a cosy seating area with a wood-burning stove, plus a kitchen and bathroom.

 Arrive with family and friends the day before for a relaxing start to celebrations. Let the staff spoil loved ones with afternoon teas on the lawn, games and activities for the children or intimate pre-wedding feasts before gathering in one of the beautiful reception rooms for drinks around a roaring fire.

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.
