Parley Manor
country-house
An exclusive Georgian manor wedding estate near Christchurch, with garden ceremonies, a ceremony pavilion and a main marquee. Current first-party information gives capacities of 150 for ceremonies and wedding breakfasts, 200 in the evening, plus seven manor bedrooms for up to 18 wedding-night guests.
Parley Manor is an exclusive wedding estate near Christchurch, set within four acres of gardens. Its pavilion is licensed for ceremonies up to 150, while the main marquee can host up to 150 for a wedding breakfast and 200 for the evening. Outdoor garden ceremonies are available, with the venue team responsible for confirming the chosen setting and wet-weather plan.
Seven manor bedrooms accommodate up to 18 guests on the wedding night, and the separate Wagon is described as sleeping five. Couples should confirm which accommodation is included, check-in arrangements and whether minimum occupancy applies. Parking, access and supplier timings also need to be agreed for the estate and marquee format.
The venue requires Merlin’s Catering Company and applies minimum adult guest numbers, including a higher minimum on Fridays and Saturdays. No current public numeric wedding price was found, so Acre records Venue to confirm instead of estimating from catering or older material. The final quotation should separate venue hire, catering, accommodation, drinks and mandatory charges. Ask how evening guests and overnight stays affect the catering minimum and your final budget.
