A Place to Gather, Get Ready, and Make Sweet Moments

The English Manor was the start of Oakhaven in the 1930s and is a beloved part of weddings. It’s where intimate moments with family and friends are made. And from the staircase to the gardens, you’ll find stunning wedding photo backdrops around every corner.

“We rented the Manor House and Honeymoon Cottage – such a great decision, because it allowed our wedding party and parents to stay on site for the weekend. We loved everything about Oakhaven!” – Hannah F.
