Everything you need to know about weddings at Maydencroft Manor.
If you’re new to the venue, we recommend reading How weddings work at Maydencroft Manor before exploring the details below. It explains how we support your wedding, how the venue is managed, and what’s included in your hire.
What makes Maydencroft Manor different from other wedding venues?
We are a managed countryside wedding venue, not a dry hire space.
You have the freedom to shape your wedding, supported by an experienced on-site team, trusted suppliers, and a structured approach that ensures everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
We also host a limited number of weddings each year, giving every couple the time, attention, and space their celebration deserves.
Do you host multiple weddings at the same time?
No. Every booking is exclusive use.
There are no overlapping events, no shared spaces, and no rushed changeovers.
How many weddings do you host each year?
We typically host up to 10 weddings per season.
This allows us to maintain high standards, protect the setting, and give each wedding our full focus.
What does venue hire include?
Venue hire includes exclusive use of your chosen space for three days:
It also includes access to agreed buildings and grounds, parking, and essential site infrastructure.
Do you offer dry hire?

What spaces are included?
This depends on your chosen option:
Full details are provided on each venue page.
