About Hanbury Manor A Marriott Hotel & Country Club

From an intimate, charming wedding, to a large, extravagant party— Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club is the perfect back-drop. Our stately Jacobean-style hotel is located on 200 sprawling acres of immaculately landscaped grounds and features an award-winning golf course, spa, fitness centre, and two dining outlets.

Host your wedding in a country retreat where elegant period features meet modern amenities and personalised service. From the historic Poles Hall and Thundridge to Garden Court with its enchanting walled garden, choose between our two magnificent wedding venues, offering sweeping views and captivating surroundings for your ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening party. Our country estate provides a fairy-tale setting for wedding photos you’ll treasure forever.

Garden Court is perfect for those looking for a private setting for an indoor or outdoor ceremony, surrounded by a magical walled garden. Boasting a scenic Summer House, Garden Court allows you to tie the knot and dance the night away under the glass canopy among the stars. In 2023, Hanbury Manor launched an outdoor ceremony package, inviting couples to say 'I do' between May and September.

Originally the chapel of the Manor House, Poles Hall is truly breathtaking. With vaulted ceilings, a minstrel's gallery and mesmerizing chandeliers. A historic venue, complete with character, is the perfect venue for those seeking a traditional style ceremony and reception.

Named after the nearby village of Thundridge, the quintessential Thundridge Suite gives you glorious views across the hotel's championship golf course, and provides access to the Magnolia room, where guests may enjoy an exclusive bar whilst they celebrate their special day.

Treat your guests to a culinary experience to savour with delicious trend-inspired menus handcrafted by our brigade of chefs. Create a bespoke menu for a more traditional wedding breakfast, or choose something a little different with a genteel afternoon tea or a lavish feast. Looking for something to wow your guests? Our Chip ‘N’ Dip Bar, Delicious Dessert Table, Ice Cream Station and more are a unique addition to your wedding reception.
