Manor Hill House Wedding Photographer
As a wedding photographer with the privilege of capturing beautiful moments at Manor Hill House, I’ve learned a few tips and tricks to help couples get the most out of this stunning venue. Nestled in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside, Manor Hill House boasts incredible settings, offering a perfect backdrop for a wedding day that’s as memorable as it is beautiful. Here are my top ten tips to ensure you make the most of your dream wedding at this contemporary wedding venue.
Utilise the Stunning Outdoor Pavilion
Manor Hill House’s stunning outdoor pavilion is perfect for outdoor civil ceremonies. Whether you dream of an intimate affair or a larger gathering, this space provides a breathtaking backdrop for your vows. I’ve captured countless emotional moments here, with the rolling hills and beautifully landscaped gardens framing the scene.
As an exclusive-use wedding venue, Manor Hill House ensures privacy and personalization for your special day.
Maximise the Landscaped Gardens for Photos
The venue’s landscaped gardens, surrounded by the Worcestershire countryside, make it ideal for weddings and a photographer’s dream. Be sure to schedule time for a walk through these gorgeous grounds for your wedding portraits. From lush greenery to vibrant flowers, the outdoor spaces offer endless photo opportunities to give you unforgettable memories of your special day.
Plan for the Unpredictable Weather
The British weather can be tricky, but don't let that worry you. While the outdoor civil ceremonies are breathtaking, Manor Hill House has equally impressive indoor spaces when the weather doesn't cooperate. I always recommend planning for both possibilities so your day stays stress-free no matter what happens outside.
Take Full Advantage of Exclusive Use
One of the best things about Manor Hill House is its exclusive use policy. This means you and your guests will have the entire venue to yourselves, allowing you to tailor the day exactly how you envision it. Whether you're hosting a hot or cold buffet or a more formal wedding breakfast, the venue's flexible layout allows you to design a day that's truly yours.
Explore All Four Reception Rooms
With four beautiful reception rooms, each offering its unique charm, Manor Hill House is ideal for couples wanting a flexible and personalized experience. These rooms give you many options to host different parts of your day, from your ceremony to cocktail hour and even your evening party. I love how each space offers something different to capture, from modern elegance to cosy intimacy.
Incorporate Bespoke Catering to Suit Your Style
The catering team at Manor Hill House is fantastic, offering a bespoke catering service to suit all budgets, tastes, and dietary requirements. Whether you dream of a lavish sit-down meal, a hog roast, or an elegant Edwardian tea party, the options are endless. This flexibility allows you to create a menu that reflects your personality and ensures your guests are well-fed and happy.
Consider the Breathtaking Views of the Worcestershire Countryside
One of Manor Hill House's standout features is the beautiful Worcestershire countryside surrounding it. The venue is tucked away in Bromsgrove, providing a peaceful and serene setting for your big day. As a photographer, I love incorporating scenic views into every photo, whether during your ceremony, cocktail hour, or evening reception.
Work with Fabulous Local Wedding Suppliers
Manor Hill House has an extensive list of fabulous local wedding suppliers, from florists to cake designers, who are experienced at the venue. Having a team of suppliers who know the space's ins and outs will ensure your day runs smoothly. I can recommend the best angles and lighting spots based on their setups, ensuring your wedding photos turn out perfectly.
Plan an Evening Celebration That Shines
The venue is ideal for hosting both intimate and grand evening celebrations. Whether you light up the grounds with love letters or go for a more relaxed vibe with a live band or DJ, Manor Hill House offers a unique space adaptable for all kinds of parties. I've seen couples turn the outdoor space into a magical, twinkling garden for their first dance under the stars – a memory that lasts forever.
Enjoy the Journey with Attentive Staff and Tailored Arrangements
The attentive staff at Manor Hill House are one of the venue's greatest assets. They have a fun and flexible approachthat ensures every aspect of your day is tailored to your needs. I've worked closely with the events team many times and can vouch for how smoothly they handle everything. From helping with the flow of the day to ensuring your guests are comfortable, they'll ensure your wedding day is seamless and stress-free.
