Build Your Manor By The Lake Wedding

If you could build your wedding day from the ground up, what would you choose?

At Manor By The Lake, there’s no single way to have a wedding. With a choice of ceremony spaces, beautiful gardens, characterful rooms and exclusive use of the venue, you can create a celebration that feels completely your own.

So, let’s play a little game.

Imagine you’ve just got engaged, you’ve found your Cotswold wedding venue, and now it’s time to choose exactly where every part of your day will happen.

Ready? Let’s build your Manor By The Lake wedding.

First up: the ceremony.

This might be one of the biggest decisions of your wedding day, but with three very different options at Manor By The Lake, there’s plenty to choose from.

🌿 The Italian Pavilion

If an outdoor ceremony is at the top of your wedding wish list, the Italian Pavilion could be the one. Surrounded by the gardens, it gives you that quintessential outdoor Cotswold wedding setting.

It’s perfect if you’re picturing fresh air, beautiful greenery and saying your vows somewhere that feels a little bit different.

🕊️ The Maximillian

Prefer to stay indoors? The Maximillian is a bright, characterful period room with beautiful views across the gardens. It’s licensed for ceremonies and brings plenty of natural light and historic detail to your ceremony.

A great choice if you want the elegance of a manor house wedding with the gardens still very much part of the backdrop.

✨ Manor Arches

Or go for something a little more iconic.

The Manor Arches create a striking setting with the architecture of the house providing the backdrop. They’re also a favourite for wedding photographs, confetti moments and those just-married photos.

So, where are you saying “I do”?

Drinks reception

You’ve said your vows. Now it’s time to celebrate.

For the drinks reception, you have the freedom to make the most of the gardens and different spaces around the manor.

🌳 The Gardens

Keep things classic with drinks outside, surrounded by seven acres of grounds. Guests can wander, chat, grab a drink and enjoy the space while you take a few minutes for photographs.

🌿 Yew Tree Walk

For a drinks reception with a little more character, make the most of Yew Tree Walk and the surrounding gardens. It’s also one of those spaces that works beautifully for photographs, giving you another opportunity to capture the grounds as part of your day.

🥂 Garden Lounge

Or bring everyone into the Garden Lounge. Light-filled and connected to the gardens, it’s a more contemporary option that works beautifully whatever the weather.

Your drinks reception pick: gardens, Yew Tree Walk or Garden Lounge?

Now for the main event.

Where you sit down for your wedding breakfast can completely change the feel of your reception.

✨ The Maximillian

For something more intimate, the Maximillian can also be used for your wedding breakfast. With its period details, natural light and views across the grounds, it brings a different atmosphere to your meal.

🥂 The Garden Lounge

For a lighter, more relaxed feel, the Garden Lounge offers another option for your wedding breakfast. With its connection to the gardens and bright, welcoming atmosphere, it’s a space that can bring a more contemporary feel to your celebration.

🎉 The Ballroom

Then there’s the Ballroom.

If you’re planning a bigger celebration and want plenty of space for dinner, speeches and everything that follows, the Ballroom gives your wedding breakfast a real sense of occasion.

Your table for the day is booked. Which one are you choosing?

Evening reception

And finally… the part of the day where the formalities are over and the party begins.

💃 The Ballroom

Keep the celebrations going in the Ballroom, transforming the space from wedding breakfast to evening reception. Think first dance, packed dance floor and a room full of everyone you love.

🎸 Rock Bar

Or take things somewhere completely different.

Rock Bar is made for letting loose after the main event, with its bar, jukebox, games room, pool table and table football. It’s a completely different atmosphere from the more formal spaces and the perfect place to keep the celebrations going.

Your final choice:

Ballroom 💃
Rock Bar 🎸
Or… both?

There’s no right answer.

Maybe yours starts with an outdoor ceremony at the Italian Pavilion, drinks in the gardens, dinner in the Ballroom and dancing until the end of the night.

Or perhaps it’s a Manor Arches ceremony, drinks in the Garden Lounge, an intimate wedding breakfast in the Maximilian and a late-night move to Rock Bar.

That’s the beauty of an exclusive-use wedding venue in Cheltenham. You can create a day that works around you, your guests and the kind of celebration you actually want.

With indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces, seven acres of grounds and a range of reception spaces all in one place, Manor By The Lake gives you plenty of ways to make your wedding your own.

So… if you were building your Manor By The Lake wedding, what would you choose?

Come and see the spaces for yourself and start putting your own day together.
