Careys Manor is a licensed, country house wedding venue in the New Forest, offering exclusive-use celebrations in a setting shaped by nature. With on-site accommodation, landscaped gardens and a choice of indoor and outdoor spaces, it allows couples and guests to celebrate, dine and stay in one place.
Ceremonies and receptions can be hosted across several characterful spaces. The Cedar Suite is a bright and versatile room, featuring large windows and French doors that open onto a private terrace. It can host ceremonies for up to 100 guests, wedding breakfasts for 80 and evening receptions for up to 150. Outside, Cedar Garden provides a romantic walled garden setting, complete with a handcrafted oak pavilion, making it a popular option for outdoor ceremonies or relaxed receptions in warmer months.
For larger seated celebrations, the Manor Suite accommodates wedding breakfasts for up to 100 guests. Chandeliers, tall windows and access to a south-facing courtyard garden give the room a refined yet flexible feel, well suited to drinks receptions and evening celebrations. Couples seeking a more traditional backdrop may prefer the Lounge, located within the eighteenth-century manor house. With original oak beams, a wood-panelled ceiling and an inglenook fireplace, it offers a characterful setting for civil ceremonies of up to 100 guests.
Careys Manor works as a blank canvas wedding venue, allowing couples to personalise layouts, decor and menus. A range of wedding packages is available, with options for formal wedding breakfasts, relaxed barbecues or evening receptions. Wedding guests and the couple can stay overnight in the on-site bedrooms, making it easy to turn the celebration into a full weekend.
