What makes Highley Manor special:

​

Highley Manor is one of those venues that instantly makes an impression. Grand, inviting, and full of character, it delivers everything couples love about a classic English country house wedding. From the moment you drive in, the sweeping lawns, beautiful brickwork and charming grounds set the tone for a relaxed but elegant celebration — even the car park feels impressive.

As a wedding photographer, Highley Manor has so much to offer visually: stunning gardens, gorgeous patios, a dramatic A‑frame outdoor ceremony structure, and plenty of natural backdrops around the grounds. It’s a venue that feels indulgent without being overwhelming, and warm without losing its sense of stately presence.

The staff are genuinely lovely too — friendly, supportive, and always willing to help — which makes the day flow beautifully for couples and suppliers alike.
