Exclusive Use of Le Manoir - Enjoy exclusive use all of the exciting features and services that Le Manoir has to offer with friends, family or colleagues.
Le Manoir is a house that loves a celebration and resonates to the sounds of laughter and enjoyment. Exclusive and private use of Le Manoir is a luxury beyond all luxuries for any occasion or celebration.
Below is an example of what you can experience with your wedding party at Le Manoir:
Your ultimate takeover of Le Manoir begins from 3.00pm, so to greet you and your guests, enjoy full afternoon tea on arrival or you can relax in one of our thirty-two bedrooms and suites, all individually designed to offer you the highest degree of comfort and luxury.
After your wedding ceremony, celebrate with chilled Champagne du Manoir. When you are ready, head into the restaurant for Raymond Blanc's signature ten course dinner with accompanying selected wines - a pure gastronomic experience. After dinner liqueurs can be enjoyed, perhaps with live music or entertainment.
After a good nights sleep, awake at leisure as brunch will be served for both the early birds or late sleepers. For those of your guests who like to keep busy, perhaps a guided tour of our gardens, a cookery demonstration in The Raymond Blanc Cookery School or a wine tasting with our Chef Sommelier. The choice is yours.
Or for those who prefer to settle down with a good read, start to read your personally signed copy of Raymond Blanc's most recent book – a gift from Raymond during your stay.
Whatever your requirements, we will be able to exceed your needs. 64 guests enjoying all or any of the above is priced at £50,000 for the exclusive use of the property, and a minimum spend of £20,000 on food and beverage. A luxury beyond all luxuries.
To secure your chosen date, it is recommended to begin planning your arrangements well in advance.
