As far as wedding venues go, Rookery Manor is certainly one of the prettiest ones I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. I attended a family wedding at the weekend, with both the ceremony and the reception taking place there.
Clearly, a lot of thought has gone into the exterior. Classy fairylights (yes, they exist) decorated the trees, wooden walkways and external seating areas. The well-cared for pond, seating area and grounds are bathed in mood lighting, and romantic music is played late into the night. Perfect for a spot of dancing away from the crowds.
The staff were excellent, and the reception took place in a beautiful room with a ceiling covered in twinkly lights. The food was nice and fairly fast. The only downside was the smaller bar and the short supply of bread rolls.
For a smaller wedding (Under 150 guests) this is the perfect, intimate venue.
Plus you can hit up W-S-M pier the next day. Which, obviously, is the best way to get rid of a hangover. read more
