Why we believe in Wedding weekends at Almer Manor…
As we prepare to launch Almer Manor as a full-service wedding venue in 2025, we’ve seen a growing trend that couples are embracing: the wedding weekend. More than just a one-day event, a wedding weekend allows for a relaxed, immersive celebration that gives you and your guests time to fully enjoy every moment. Here’s why we believe wedding weekends are the perfect fit for your big day at Almer Manor.
1. More Time to Celebrate
At Almer Manor, a wedding weekend means more time to unwind and enjoy. With luxurious on-site accommodations, including Stable Cottage with its own games room, your guests can relax and have fun before and after the big day. Our Manor also features a tennis court and outdoor hot tub, offering even more ways to make your stay special. Imagine friendly matches, peaceful soaks, and leisurely mornings, all leading up to your perfect wedding celebration.

2. A Full-Service Venue for a Seamless Experience
Starting in 2025, Almer Manor will offer everything you need for your dream wedding—ceremonies, receptions, and accommodations all in one place. Imagine your guests arriving on a Friday evening to relax in our peaceful surroundings, while you enjoy your final preparations in the Manor’s luxurious bridal suite. The next morning, your ceremony could take place at the historic St. Mary’s Church, just a private stroll away, followed by a reception on-site at Almer. No need to rush from one venue to another—your entire weekend unfolds seamlessly.
