Exquisite Lillibrooke accommodation
The Grade II listed Manor House, The Loft and The Old Piggery provide luxury accommodation in eight double rooms (16 adults), all with beautiful en-suites. The Loft is a secluded and romantic honeymoon suite, provided free of charge when you book the Manor House accommodation.
Your ceremony, your way
An onsite ceremony charge is payable if your ceremony takes place at Lillibrooke Manor. This covers setup of chairs, tables, linen, speaker systems and cleaning. The fee is payable to Heritage Venues and is separate from the Registrar fee which you book directly.
Taste the magic before the big day
When you book your wedding, one of the many things to look forward to is attending a complimentary tasting evening hosted by Heritage Venues, a chance to see, taste and experience the quality of the food, meet the catering team, be inspired by styling suppliers and meet other couples.
Note: where booked at short notice (8 months or less) a tasting event may not be available, though we will try our best.
Expert planning, every step of the way
Once booked, Heritage Venues’ dedicated and award-winning wedding planning team will be assigned to you, guiding you through the entire planning process from advice to inspiration. A planning meeting will be scheduled approximately three months before your wedding day.
Your dream team, handpicked for you
Heritage Venues have handpicked a list of trusted and talented suppliers — from photographers to florists to entertainment. Each has been carefully selected based on their expertise and knowledge of Lillibrooke Manor. There is no obligation to use recommended suppliers.
No packages — completely personalised
Heritage Venues do not offer pre-packaged wedding plans. Instead, they provide a flexible approach to help you design your perfect wedding day, tailored specifically to your vision and preferences. The price of your three-course wedding breakfast is determined by your main course choice from Classic, Signature or Luxury dishes.
