About

An immaculate Grade I listed, Regency country house wedding venue set in over 100 acres of Devon parkland, just seven miles from the centre of Exeter. Rockbeare Manor has an outstanding reputation for exceptional food and service and going the extra mile for all their guests.

A pair of impressive white pillars marks the entrance to one of the South West’s most elegant, and very special, exclusive use country wedding venues. Anticipation will grow as you catch the odd glimpse of the house from the meandering driveway, passing through patches of dappled sunlight before arriving at the magnificent Regency Manor near Exeter.

The stately Dining Room or pretty outdoor Terrace are the perfect backdrops for a Civil Ceremony and you can then enjoy reception drinks and some delicious canapés, before being invited into our spacious Ballroom, which seats 50 - 160 guests, for a lavish wedding breakfast. The giant contemporary chandeliers, high ceiling and full-length windows overlooking acres of parkland give the room an expansive, airy feel, making it the ideal place for the festivities to continue.

The sweeping staircase leads to an opulent bridal Drawing Room with floor-to-ceiling windows and grand balcony, and for the groom and his groomsmen we have the Billiard Room.

We would just like to say a huge thank you to you and all the team at Rockbeare Manor. From start to finish you and the Rockbeare team have been nothing but amazing. We really had the most fantastic day on Saturday and that’s thank you to your team

The chef - both Rhys & I plus family and all our guests were simply blown away by the food. Michelin stars and beyond you just nailed it. Can’t believe how good the steak was. Our guests have said it’s the best wedding food they ever had and I second that! You really should be proud of your talent for what you did on Saturday.

The waiting & bar staff - excellent in every way, service was 5 star, smiley, polite and so attentive. You really are a real credit to the Rockbeare Manor name. Special mention to Siobhan and Abbi because I saw them most, the rest of them were still awesome

Helen - fantastic in every way from communication to nothing too much trouble and I was a pain in the arse towards the end - sorry. You were brilliant

Aimee & Andy - incredible venue, service and personal touches. You have really smashed this wedding thing. Thank you so much. We will never be able to say how truly grateful we are to you for everything you’ve done to make that day be such a great wedding. Our guests loved Rockbeare, the FOOD, service and attention to detail. We will be eternally grateful to you both

You do a fantastic job you really do and we can’t thank you enough ALL of you!
Amicia & Will
Thank you so much for a wonderful day!It was perfect and you worked tirelessly! All your efforts were much appreciated,5 star service!!
I know we still need to pay for our meals and let us know if there are any other additions. We are back from our trip on the 5th November.
Please pass out thanks on to the waiting staff, kitchen staff and of course the cleaners!
Many many many thanks!!!
Malindi & Andy
We just wanted to thank you for an amazing day on Sun 3rd September. We could not have had a better day (even the rain could not spoil it).

Given that you had done the whole thing the day before it was doubly appreciated that you still made us feel our day was special.

All the staff were impeccably discreetly present throughout the day

Stephanie, you were a complete super star and an utter delight. I do hope you had a good few days off to recover

We will not hesitate to recommend you.

We just wanted to say a very BIG thank you for all your help in the lead up and on the day of our wedding. We had the most amazing day and would love to relive it all again.

When we first visited the venue last April we loved it from the moment we saw it. At that time even though the venue was not complete we could see what a wonderful job was being done and that it would be the perfect place for our day.

It was great to be able to set up our bits and pieces the afternoon before and added to our excitement for the coming day. Our wedding day was perfect everything ran so smoothly. All the staff were friendly, fun and professional especially the bar staff who were offered numerous shots throughout the evening! A special thanks needs to go to Katie who looked after us on the day. She was so friendly, professional and nothing was too much for her. She made us both very relaxed and knew that everything was in capable hands, even though we only met her that morning.

The breakfast the next day was a nice way to finish off at the venue and was lovely to have all the flowers and trinkets from the day in there as well. The rooms were amazing just did not get enough time in them to enjoy them fully!.

We have had so many comments on the great venue, the amazing food and wine and the overall setting of the venue which certainly was a big part in making our day so very special.

We wish you all the very best for the future and all the other amazing days you will create for people.
Steph & Chris
We just wanted to write you a quick email to say that we had such an amazing wedding day on Sunday 27th August at Rockbeare and to let you know how amazing Steph Primarolo was throughout the entire day and following morning. She was incredibly kind, caring and attentive to making sure the day ran smoothly and we have been inundated with guests complimenting on how brilliant she was. Your entire team were great, but Steph was truly exceptional.

We will definitely recommend the venue to our friends and family.
Jayne & Laurence
I just wanted to say the biggest thank you for making our day so special on Saturday. It was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We felt so happy and relaxed, all of our guests were so well looked after.

We were just delighted with everything, from the details on the tables, to the food, the drinks, the service, the weather, to the rooms.

I could not recommend Rockbeare Manor enough. It really is a very special place.

Thank you so all the staff for all of their hard work!
Steph & Ant
Myself and my new husband got married and had the most amazing reception at the lovely Rockbeare manor. It was so exciting to know we were ...the first couple to book this venue and we will cherish this forever. From the first visit we knew this was the venue for us, the work that has been done to make this the dream wedding venue has truly paid off and this was the case for us. Our guests still continue to talk about how amazing the venue , service, food , wedding was :). From the initial booking up to the big day the service was first class, we were always made very welcome when we visited the venue. On the day we were greeted with smiling faces , drinks and the staff couldn't do enough. The getting ready room for the girls and boys worked brilliantly and it was so beautiful for photos. Onto the arrival after our church service and we knew then we could relax and enjoy our day as the team had everything in hand from arrival drinks to the evening reception. We also had a day event and it was such a beautiful day, the bbq and afternoon tea was so delicious. I can't thank you all enough for helping to make this the best day of our lives. XxxxxxxX
Cassidy & Richard
My wife and I married at Rockbeare at the beginning of September and we had a day that we will never forget! After looking around at other venues, Rockbeare was the one place that had everything that we was looking for! The Manor House is beautiful and the grounds are stunning. All of our guests commented on what a special venue it is. The staff at the venue I cannot compliment highly enough especially Stephanie who was so helpful before and on the day, from the professional service to the little magical tweaks.
The food was was absolutely delicious and all dietary requirements for our guests were no problem at all.
At the end of the night after a long day to be able to stay in such beautiful and elegant rooms really is the icing on the cake.
Thank you so much Stephanie & the Rockbeare Manor team for giving us such a special day and amazing memories.
Jodie & Paul
My husband and I was married at Rockbeare on the 11th August 2017. Before I even set foot in the building I knew this magical place was going to be the back drop for our perfect day and looking back now...it wasn't just perfect, it was magical, breath taking and quite literally the best day of both of our lives! The team at rockbeare manor went above and beyond the call of duty. We were made to feel like we were the king and queen of the manor! Nothing was too much and everything was tended to in such a way that the whole day ran so smoothly (bar our coach of guests getting stuck on the m5 motor way) Since our day I have spoken to most of the guests and everyone of them complemented the venue and the food and how perfect the day was!! We can't thank rockbeare enough for letting us host our wedding and to anyone thinking of booking this place.......DO IT NOW! You sure as hell won't regret it
Amy & Ryan
"We had our wedding here last month and wow what a truly amazing venue! We knew we wanted to get married here as soon as we saw it it's just a stunning building inside and out that's been finished to such a high standard. Thanks to Aimée and Andy the day ran so smoothly and the staff couldn't do enough for you a massive thanks to all of you for all your hard work!
Everyone commented on how delicious all the food was - from the 3 course meal to the burgers and chips in the evening and the ice cream tricycle was a massive hit!
The day from start to finish was just perfect and we're so glad we chose to get married here I can't recommend it enough
Rhiannon & Ben
It's been a little while after our wedding now and we wanted to take this oppotunity to thank you and your team. You were brilliant! You were so helpful and attentive to us. You helped our guests and your team were fantastic in everything they did. The food was brilliant your burgers may have been the best ever.

The venue, your efforts and your teams efforts were noticed by a number of guests who all said they were surprised at how good and how brilliant you were.

We enjoyed our day so much and it was perfect.

Thank you again.

Dear Jess, we honestly cannot thank you and the Rockbeare staff enough! It was truly the best day of our lives! Everything flowed so smoothly and went off without a hitch! Every one of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue is, how incredible the food was and how fantastic the staff were and we agree one million percent!!
Ruth Breading
What can I say! Thank you so so much for everything you both did to ensure we had the best wedding day ever! It far exceeded all of our dreams and expectations! Everything went so smoothly and effortlessly that we didn’t have to think about anything all day and could just be totally present in our wedding and we are hugely grateful to you both for that.

Davy – you literally had everything covered! From making sure we had canapés during our photos, to bringing us a pasty at the end of the night – somehow knowing that we wouldn’t have had much of a chance to eat ourselves. Nothing was too much trouble and you were omnipresent from our arrival until we left the next day. Thank you so so much for everything – you were beyond incredible.

Also, we have to mention the food which was insane! We’ve had loads of people say it was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding (I don’t think there was a single crumb of crème brulee left anywhere!)

Thank you both so much for your help with setting up as well. The place just looked so beautiful – I was totally overwhelmed when I arrived so thank you for leading the suppliers and getting everything done so we could just chill and relax. And the effort that was made to ensure that the breakfast room was decorated and everyone ate together the next morning was such a lovely touch – it made the whole event feel extra special.

Basically, you totally made it for us and we feel incredibly grateful. I hope you both managed to chill and unwind a bit on the Sunday!

Hugest of thanks again,

Ruth & Liam xx

Hi Davy,

Hope you’re well. I just wanted to send you a quick message to say a huge thank you for Friday. We had the best day and you were all
wonderful! Nothing was too much and you kept us calm and with a drink in hand all day! The whole team were fab. A couple of the guests also couldn’t speak highly enough of the girl who was on placement too!

We had so many compliments about the venue too and the food in particular. Rockbeare is just so stunning! Thank you for making sure our day ran perfectly.

Thank you so much again,

Hi Jessica,

We honestly had the day of our dreams! We still can’t talk about it without welling up haha! It was just truly magical! All of our guests have been talking about how beautiful the venue was, how relaxed the day felt and how everything flowed seamlessly, and of course how stunning the food was!!

You really made everything so special and we cannot thank you all enough for making what everyone is saying the best wedding they have ever been to!

All the best and many thanks,

Scott and Paige

Dear Aimee
We are only just starting to come down from what has been an absolutely incredible few weeks. The day itself was so amazing and we could not have wished for a better occasion. It went so smoothly, largely down to you and the team so thank you so very much for everything.
Mr & Mrs Edwards
On Saturday 18th January 2020 our daughter was married at Rockbeare Manor and Jessica looked after us and our guests for the celebrations. She worked continuously through the whole day and must be commended for her professionalism and friendliness along with her whole team. Thank you also to Davy and Cameron who looked after us on the Friday night when we had a family meal which was very special.

We were very grateful for all the advice offered which was an enormous help and if anyone is considering the venue we strongly recommend taking them up on their suggestions.

The venue, food and hospitality were perfect, we even had good weather allowing us to have canapes outside.

Thank you for the most perfect day at such a beautiful venue.

Mr & Mrs Edwards
Harriet and James
Dear Davy and all of your wonderful staff, James and I would like to thank you for the smooth running of our seemingly perfect wedding day.
You guys made it what it was, and we will be eternally grateful for your efforts, kindness and generosity. Everything you guys did for us was with grace.
Cameron and Johnny were brilliant aswell! Cameron really looked after the bridal party in the morning, he treated us all like princesses and couldn’t do enough for us, it was so lovely as a bride to feel like nothing was too much effort.
And of course it goes without saying, the help the lead up to the big day from Aimee, Helen and Jessica is also so appreciated and we are so grateful.
Hopefully we see you all again soon as someone’s wedding guests!
All the best to you all, the new Mr and Mrs Rees, Harriet and James xx
Becca and Ryan

We really had the best day ever!! You and Cameron were so attentive and so amazing we can’t thank you enough. We had a lot of guests comment on how friendly and helpful you both were and obviously we agree.

Thank you so much for making our day so so special and of course for all your help with everything, the whole set up looked perfect.

The food was also so so lovely!! Everyone really enjoyed it!

Couldn’t of wished for a better day.

We really hope we get to attend someone’s else wedding at Rockbeare Manor so we can visit the beautiful venue again :)

Thanks,

Becca & Ryan.
Tom and Jo
Dear Aimee and the Rockbeare Manor team, Thank you so much for all your hard work that went into helping organise our wedding day. We had the best day we could possibly imagine. It all ran smoothly, the venue looked beautiful and the food was delicious. You were lovely, our parents have spoken about how nice you were and we also enjoyed all our interactions with you. You made planning a wedding a very easy, enjoyable experience. You made us feel listened to and valued plus you then put on the best day! It was lovely seeing everything we had discussed come together, from the garden games, the table tennis, to keeping us on track during the day. You're clearly very good at what you do. Our family loved the hot chocolate/coffee time after we had left and also said breakfast was very special. Thanks Aimee! Please could you pass on our thanks to the chefs too. We have had SO many people tell us "it was the best wedding food" they had ever had. It was all delicious and also looked beautiful. From the canapes through to the dessert buffet stand, it was brilliant. Our interactions with all staff were lovely, Simone, Andy and Helen, thank you. Tom and Jo x
Stevie Bessell
We just wanted to say a huge thank you to Sophie and Cameron for everything you did for us during our wedding day (and in the lead up to it!). We had the most perfect day and it turned out exactly as we had hoped. So many of our guests commented on the amazing venue, delicious food and wonderfully helpful and attentive staff. No request from our guests was too much trouble for your team and the way they all conducted themselves helped make it as special as it was. We loved you guys getting involved with the photo booth, it was hilarious!
Helene Baudains
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to (especially) you and your team on our wedding day. You sorted everything and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Absolutely everyone has been raving about how beautiful Rockbeare is and how attentive the staff were. The fireworks were a massive hit and I really appreciated all your hard work in keeping it a secret and getting everyone outside on time.
Sophie and Lee Thomas
We just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU for all of your help in the run up and our wedding day itself. We had the best day and would like to show our appreciation for the stunning venue and staff that all played such an important role in ensuring our day was perfect. Helen and Davy, you were really helpful throughout the booking/planning process and we really appreciated your support and advice. We felt in safe hands the whole time and ultimately had fun planning our day which could have been a very stressful process. Elizabeth, we cannot thank you enough for your hard work on the day. You worked so hard to get everything spot on - everything went without a hitch throughout both the day and evening and we felt your organisational skills and attentiveness were exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble and every detail was thought of. Your care and thoughtfulness didn't go unnoticed and we appreciate it so much - you were also an extremely calming influence when nerves were getting to us! We felt informed and looked after the whole time. The food was absolutely delicious on the day and did not disappoint. Food was really important to us and we could not fault any part of it. Everyone was, and still is, raving about it. Thank you all - we're hoping we get invited to another wedding up there so we can experience it all over again! Sophie & Lee Thomas x
Mr an Mrs D
Dear Davy,

Where do we even begin... Rob and I cannot thank you, Helen, Cameron, Johnny and all of the team, enough for making our wedding day so special! Everything right from our first visit to Rockbeare Manor, until after breakfast the morning following the wedding, was just amazingly perfect.

The wedding day for us was completely stress free thanks to all of you. The team provided us with everything we needed, often before we even realised we needed it! You were always one step ahead of everything and we will be forever grateful.

It goes without saying that Rockbeare Manor is a beautiful building, but the staff are what really make it. You all worked so hard, and such long hours!! You made us feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble and you really went the extra mile to make us feel so special on our big day.

We definitely have to say a big thank you to the chefs, I’m sure all our guests will agree that the food was so delicious!! An extra thank you to Cameron for organising chicken burgers at 1am - so glad we didn’t miss out on those, they were out of this world!

So thank you again for being a part of our wedding day, it honestly was the best day ever! We wish we could do it all again. Hopefully we can be guests at another wedding at Rockbeare one day.

Best wishes
Becky & Rob x
Mr and Mrs Onslow
Dear all at Rockbeare, we want to say a huge thank-you to everyone involved in our special day. Our wedding was more than perfect, it was everything we had wished for and more! Your venue and team were out of this world... words can't describe how helpful and amazing you all were. You all work so hard and deserve a lot of credit! The manor itself is like something out of a fairytale!
Cameron - What can I say... You blew us away with your kindness, eagerness to make our day perfect and how much you cared for us. Nothing was a problem or too much trouble, you made us feel like we were the only 2 people in the world that mattered, we are really grateful you were involved in our day. You remained very calm considering how busy the bar was! A massive thank-you to you!
Davy was also a star and again nothing was a problem! He made us feel at ease and that everything was under control.
Food - We had a lot of compliments from our guests saying how amazing the food was, and we totally agree! Everything was so tasty and freshly made. The canapés were insane!
A lot of our guests have said its the best wedding they've ever been too - and this is all down to your amazing team!
Chloe and Joe
Good evening Davy,

Myself and Joe just wanted to say a massive thankyou to you and your team! You yourself looked after us from the very first meeting at the venue, all the way to our special day, and we can’t thankyou enough for that.

All our guest have said how amazing the staff were in looking after us all and making everything perfect!

A massive thankyou needs to go to Cameron, he made sure me and joe were always happy and had everything we needed! Nothing seemed like it was to much trouble! Excellent member of staff!

The food was so yummy! No one had a bad word to say about it and the burgers, guest were saying they have never had a burger that’s tasted so good!

Thankyou for excellent communication leading up to the wedding and making everything so calm and clear.

Once again, Thankyou very much and we will be recommending rockbeare at any given chance.

Regards, Mr & Mrs Coughlin.
Jade and Ed
We would highly recommend Rockbeare Manor as a wedding venue. We had initially planned our wedding for April but due to covid had to postpone our wedding day to October with a bigger party planned for later in the year. Rockbeare have been so helpful and understanding every step of the way as our plans continued to change and develop as guidance changed. Our wedding day itself was so special and anyone that is worrying about having just 15 guests shouldn’t worry at all: the staff at Rockbeare and the beautiful grounds meant our day was incredible even with limited numbers. The food was absolutely excellent and one of our guests had several allergies and was just absolutely over the moon at the food that was provided for her as well. Our guests loved how stunning the rooms were as well. We are so grateful to Jessica in particular for all of her hard work on the day in making sure everything ran smoothly. Thank you so much also to Aimée and Helen for all of the arranging leading up to the big day as well.
Cieron and Lucy Roe
Dear Helen, and all the team at Rockbeare,

Wow. Where do we even begin? We want to say a huge thank you to each and every one of you at the wonderful Rockbeare Manor team.

We had the most incredible day with you on our wedding day, 9th July 2021. It was perfect, (despite the things we could not control for!) and undoubtedly the best day of our lives.

The uncertainties of the last 18 months have been very difficult for the wedding industry, but the team at Rockbeare have been relaxed, flexible and so reassuring during this time. Thank you so much.

Helen, you have been so wonderful since day one when you showed us around on a virtual viewing in Spring 2020. Nothing has ever been too much trouble (despite our many questions!) and you have been professional, easy to contact and so approachable throughout the process.

The professionalism of the entire team on the day was incredible and surpassed all expectations. We would specifically like to say a massive thank you to Cameron who calmly talked through an alternative route to the venue for my brothers over the phone, who got lost and stuck in the backed up A30 traffic (after the big road traffic accident) with my Gran (our oldest guest!) and auntie. He undoubtedly saved the afternoon, and demonstrated amazing initiative and leadership. We are so grateful. He also featured in my dad’s father of the bride speech - my parents were so impressed and grateful for his help.

The kitchen staff dealt with a 90 minute delay due to this traffic complication. This must have been so stressful for the chefs. Despite this the team coped perfectly with the shift in timescales. The food was absolutely exquisite and so many of our guests have been complementing it to us. Please extend our deepest thanks to the chefs.

The ballroom looked absolutely beautiful and the photo and video set up that you organised for us was perfect. The rooms were so wonderful, comfortable and luxurious. The house is absolutely stunning and we just wish we could have spent more than the one night there!

Every single aspect of the day, evening and following morning was amazing. Rockbeare Manor is the perfect wedding venue and this is down to the people that run the show. Thank you so so much to all of you from the bottom of our hearts.
Sally and Curtis
I just wanted to email you to say a massive massive thank you for everything you did on the lead up to our wedding. We were blown away with the service and how attentive you and all the staff were. We just had the best day and even though it was meant to have been 120, we actually wouldn’t have changed a thing. It felt so smooth running and that was a thanks to you and your team, so thank you so much.
Mr & Mrs Beer
I would like to offer you and your team, a very special thank you for everything you did to make the wedding on Saturday such a wonderful occasion for everyone who attended but especially for Charlotte and Ben. They were blown away with the whole thing and exceeded even their expectations.

Everything was perfect and Cameron was a star, nothing was too much trouble and he was in total control throughout. The food from canapés through to deserts was delicious and service and attention to detail 5 star.

In summary, a day which will live in our memories forever, again a big thank you.
Karen & Ben
Just a message to say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU from Karen and I. We were absolutely delighted with how the day was managed and with how accommodating and professional all the staff were on the day. The venue itself is gorgeous, but it can only fulfil it's potential with a great team... and the team you have is absolutely fantastic. All of our guests had nothing but positive things to say... from the setting to the food, from the accommodation to the staff. With all of our hearts, THANK YOU.

George and I would like to say a massive thank you for everything you did for us in the lead up to and on our wedding day. We both had the most magical day and everything seemed to go so smoothly thanks to your organisation and professionalism. All the staff were so friendly and attentive and we got lots of compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue is.

From the moment we arrived at Rockbeare for our viewing, we fell in love with the place. The viewing we had with Helen made us feel very secure in our decision to have our wedding at your venue and since that day - we didn't look back.

Thanks again for such an amazing day!

We wish to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our daughter's wedding such a special day.

You and your staff were excellent - we cannot praise you highly enough. All the arrangements went off without a hitch and were exactly what we had been hoping for. The food was superb, delicious and beautifully served. The accommodations were fantastic - luxurious and spacious (we wished we could have stayed longer!), and the rooms used for the wedding and reception were exceptional.

All of our guests commented that it was the best wedding, and the best venue they had been to, and we echo those sentiments - we simply cannot think how the day could have been improved.

So, once again, thank you - you have our eternal gratitude.
Chloe Ross
I just wanted to drop you an email to say we can't thank you all enough for the incredible day yourself and the Rockbeare team provided for myself and Harry on October 10th.
The months since have flown by, but we keep looking back and thinking that we honestly couldn't have asked for a better day. Everything ran so smoothly, the food was out of this world, and the staff were so kind.

We feel so privileged to have had our wedding with you and will forever cherish the memories.
Jamie and Tom Kelly
We got married at Rockbeare yesterday (!) and would highly recommend. From start to finish,the staff were amazing (especially during these uncertain Covid times) and made the day flow seamlessly.
The Manor is beautiful and many of our guests complimented how lovely it was.
The food was also amazing, we could not fault anything.
Thank you so much to the whole team but a special shout out to Anna who was our coordinator on the day and Helen who helped us throughout (amidst all the Covid chaos).


Thank you!
Zaria and Andy
Andy and I would like to thank Aimee, Davy and the entire Rockbeare team for making our wedding reception at Rockbeare Manor so amazing. Perfect setting, excellent food, gorgeous rooms and outstanding service. Our day was perfect and every single one of our 115 guests agree! Magical. Thank you.

Our wedding was what could only be described as perfection, the whole process (which thanks to COVID was a lot longer than initially planned) was seamless.
Helen and the team went above and far far beyond to ensure that we had the wedding of our dreams, nothing was too much to ask and all our needs were catered too.
The service and food was impeccable and we honestly cannot thank all of you enough, thank you for truly giving us the day that only dreams are made of, thank you all so much
Lauren and Andy
We had our wedding on the 2nd April 2022. We had the most incredible day. Helen, our wedding coordinator was amazing, we dealt with her from the start and she was there on the day. Having the same person throughout the wedding planning and on the big day made a massive difference as she really knew how we wanted everything.
Helen and her team couldn’t have done anymore for us, always making sure we had drinks, and making sure everything ran on time and that we were happy with everything.
The day was amazing and was everything we dreamed off and more. It ran so smoothly with no glitches. It was the perfect day and that’s thanks to Helen and the teams professionalism and service. Our guests have been telling us how smooth the day went and that it was the perfect venue. The food was amazing too, superbly served. The accommodation was beautiful too, spacious and luxurious, wish we could have stayed longer. We can’t fault anything. Wish we could do it all again.

We had our dream wedding at Rockbeare Manor on Thursday 21st April and we wanted to send a huge thank you to each and everyone of you, for making our day so stress free and perfect.

Cameron, you were incredible, your professionalism and talent shone on the day. So many of our guests gave compliments to you personally and really sang your praises. You talked us through everything, what was happening next and what we needed to do. Your organisation was impeccable. You really put our minds at ease and really looked after us. You're absolutely fabulous at what you do and we would recommend you to anyone!!

Thank you to you all at Rockbeare Manor for an incredible day.
George and Phuong
We had our wedding day just over a month ago on 25th March and wanted to send a huge thank you to Davy, Anna, Aimée and all and the fantastic team at Rockbeare, not only for the day itself, but also the long run up since booking back in 2019.

The communication has been great, we are so thankful for how everything has been handled with the postponements after what must have been a very difficult time in the hospitality industry. We could not have wished for a better day and feel so lucky to have had the first outdoor ceremony of the year. We had so many compliments from our guests about the beautiful venue, the quality of the food, the slick running of the day and attentive nature of the staff.

Thank you once again.

Best wishes,
George and Phuong Elsworth
Mr & Mrs Jansz-Baker
Dear Anna, well what a wedding day we had. It was absolutely AMAZING and we have you to thank for that.
Honestly you made our day so special and rememberable, you were unbelievable. Olivia and I can’t thank you enough for how you treated us. You were all over everything and really kept us at calm and at ease.
Everyone has been saying how great the food was, how nice the venue was and also how pro active you wear. You definitely stood out and people could recognise what a tremendous job you did on the day.

Again from the bottom of our hearts we thank you for giving us such a special wedding day.

When we get our photos back we will send you one over.

Good luck for the future,

Kind regards,

Mr & Mrs Jansz-Baker

Good morning Anna,

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for all your incredible help and support for our wedding day.

You made the day run so smoothly and kept everyone in check! You and the rest of the team at Rockbeare are incredible. The venue was absolutely perfect but you made the wedding day to run calmly so we could just relax and enjoy and we did not have to worry about a thing!

Everything about our day was perfect, we loved the venue so much and had so many wonderful comments about how brilliant it was. The rooms were perfect, the food was incredible, thank you for providing me with non-alcoholic 'cocktails', I don't think James ever had an empty hand!

Right from the day we first visited the venue the communication has been brilliant, the whole process of booking and planning was so easy, Helen was amazing!

I will be forever grateful for all of you, but Anna mainly to you, you are wonderful!
Thank you probably won't ever be enough, but thank you!

I hope you enjoy some of our photos!

Thank you again.

Dear Davy, I just wanted to say thanks so much for all you and the Rockbeare team did for us on our wedding day! Honestly, we could not have asked for a better experience! Our guests went on and on about how lovely the venue was, how delicious the food was and how well they were looked after. Also, from our perspective we so appreciate how thoughtful you were checking in on us so many times during the wedding day and all you did to help out last minute (especially with the wind and the arch!) You all did a fantastic job and we are so appreciative!

Thanks again for everything.
Mr and Mrs Roberts
Dear Anna, we just wanted to send a final email before we head off on our Honeymoon later this week.

Quite simply, we had the most perfect day celebrating our wedding at Rockbeare Manor. All of our guests commented on what a beautiful venue Rockbeare is and how everything ran smoothly.

From our side, emails were answered quickly, phone calls were a breeze and nothing ever seemed too much trouble for any of the staff – even down to Cameron helping with buttonholes on the morning! It was also such a nice touch to have so many personal details on our big day, which were made possible through strong communication and willingness from the team to help bring our vision to life.

Thank you for being our events co-ordinator, we found you very professional and a huge help throughout the process. We also went through our photobooth photos and came across a photo of you and one of the members of staff in it, this really made us smile and was a nice touch to top off the whole day.

Many thanks The New Mr & Mrs Roberts
Mr and Mrs Brown
Just a huge huge HUGGGGEEEEE thank you to everyone at Rockbeare Manor who made mine and Cameron’s day so relaxed and smooth! We are so grateful for all of you! Thank you for dealing with my constant emails and always missing your phone calls!

If you could please pass on a massive thank you to Helen as well, she made our day as special and amazing as it was, she was so calm and organised all day she made me feel so at ease and listened too, everything I could of possibly asked for was done before I even gave it a thought!

I have a few photos back, not many but I thought you’d like to see them and I’ll make sure I send more when I get them!

You made all our fairytale dreams come true. I wish I could do the day over and over!

Lots of love Mr and Mrs Brown
Connor and Lauren
Good morning Aimee and Andy,

We hope you are well and hope that you do not mind us sending you this email. However, when you have experienced the most magical day in your life so far and it has all been made possible by such a wonderful team we felt the need to email you.

Firstly, we wanted to say a huge thank you to Cameron. Words will never ever be enough to express the gratitude we have for him. Through his hard work and dedication everything at Rockbeare was completely and utterly perfect and with our large number of guests and unusual requests we recognise this was no mean feat. He always had a can do attitude, filled us with immense confidence and did us absolutely proud throughout every stage of our wedding. He is a credit to your team and we are so grateful to him. Jess was also phenomenal and made us feel so relaxed and happy from our first meeting on Wednesday. Herself and Cameron worked together so well during our big day and you can already see that Jess will become an invaluable part of the Rockbeare team.

Secondly, we wanted to say a huge thank you to your catering team. The food was outstanding and to create a canapé reception and wedding breakfast that was entirely coeliac friendly we recognise would have been a challenge. However, once again your team was phenomenal and people have commented that it was the best wedding food they have ever had!!!

Finally, a huge thank you goes to all of your staff. We have received feedback from Our guests regarding how friendly the staff were, how they couldn’t do enough to help anyone and everyone worked immensely hard to achieve our dream day. You will never realise how grateful we are to each and every person who played a part in our real life fairytale and we will forever be in debt to you all.

Thank you so much to everyone at Rockbeare. You have honestly made our dreams come true!!! We will recommend you to everyone we possibly can and hope that one day another of our friends celebrates their wedding with you so that we can return,

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything!!!

Connor and Lauren / Mr and Mrs Barrie

Hi Anna, We just want to thank you so so much for everything you did to ensure our wedding day went perfectly! Your attention to detail, calmness and professionalism guided us through our day without a hitch.

From arriving at Rockbeare Manor the day before our wedding to set up a few things (particularly the champagne tower!) you put us at ease and made sure that everything was going to be positioned perfectly and look how we had imagined. We then checked in to The Dairy, this was also perfect and ensured there wasn’t any need to travel to the venue in the morning for the bridal party. The breakfast options at The Dairy were incredible (toast, pastries, yogurt, granola, fruit), dietary requirements were also catered for, meaning they also had various options for breakfast!

When you and your team came and moved the bridal party across to the venue, the vision came to life as the flowers and cake had arrived and were being set up! The time spent upstairs finishing getting ready flew by, you and your team were so attentive and really made sure we had a lovely calm morning.

Once the bridal party were ready, the help you gave getting us in order and lined up ready was amazing and having a minute before walking out to the ceremony was much needed and brought calmness to the flurry of excitement that we all had! After the ceremony, you guided us through our day, ensuring that we didn’t miss anything we had planned and making sure we always had a glass in hand!

The food was out of this world, the Chef and their team made the most incredible food, it tasted amazing and looked flawless, we have had so many people comment on how amazing the food was! (the canapes, ice cream tricycle, wedding breakfast and the gourmet burgers)

Once we had finished partying those of us that were still standing and staying at Rockbeare had a drink in the library which was the perfect end, we had time to fully absorb the last hour of our day and catch up with our nearest and dearest.

Breakfast the next morning was the perfect ending to our time at Rockbeare Manor, we loved having a banquet style breakfast table, meaning we could see and speak to everyone before we left the venue. You and the team had collected all of the things we had brought (flowers, decorations, table names etc) and put them in the breakfast room so it was easy for us to load them in to the car.

We had the most perfect day and it wouldn’t have gone anywhere near as smoothly as it did without you, you and the wider team are incredible, we can never thank you enough!

Lots of love

Eleanor & Ian Myers
Mrs Prior.
Good Afternoon Steph, I just thought I would email to thank you and all your staff for what was the most wonderful day. It was everything Jessie and Graham (also myself and James) could have hoped for. The whole experience from the minute we walked in the door to look around at Rockbeare Manor to the breakfast on Saturday morning was just superb.

All of your staff, at all times were helpful, polite and a pleasure to have around. Steph, your calm “can do” attitude was fabulous, keeping everything running like clockwork and always seeming to be in the right place at the right time, your professionalism was exceptional.

We cannot recommend Rockbeare Manor highly enough, Jessie and Graham’s wedding day was truly fabulous, so many of our guests have complimented us on the “best wedding they have ever attended”. Please also pass on our thanks to your catering team the food was exceptional and I have not heard a single negative thing (you normally get one!).

Once again - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Kind Regards. Mrs Prior.
Mrs Herbert
Hi Davy, can you please pass on our grateful thanks to your team, who looked after us and our guests, so well. In particular please thank the team in the kitchen, who successfully fed my mother without incident - no mean feat!

Ollie is a really lovely young man and I’m sure has a glowing future at Rockbeare Manor as an Events Co-ordinater under your expert guidance. He was very helpful with our new mum Jasmine and she and her husband were extremely grateful.

Thank you to Anna for ensuring my neice’s shawl was returned to us. I will post that on to them, as they have now returned to the US.

Finally of course we say a huge thank you to you Davy. On a personal level, you have been unfailingly patient and kind in meeting all my requests, answering all my emails and dealing with my concerns promptly and thoroughly. Everyone said that they had never been to such a wonderful wedding. In part, it’s what people say at weddings , but I overheard many guests discussing the day between themselves without them knowing I was there, which means so much more. This is all down to your hard work and dedication, ensuring each couple has the wedding day they are hoping for, with all those small touches that make it personal and unique for them. You enabled Lydia to continue enjoying their evening party, when she was in considerable discomfort, by the simple action of putting a chair in the middle of the dance floor. This was genius move and made the whole difference to the success of their party. Thank you doesn’t seem to do any of it justice really, but there is nothing more to say.

I wish you and the team at Rockbeare Manor our very best wishes and continued success in your exceptional business.

Kind regards,

Debbie.

Dear Andy and Aimée,

Our daughter Katy Leonard, had her wedding at Rockbeare Manor last Saturday (1st Ocotber) and i would like to thank you, and all your staff, for making it such a wonderful occassion for all who attended, but most importantly for Katy and her fiancé, Steve.

Every single member of your staff from Jess, our Wedding Coordinator for the day, through to your bar staff, waitresses, to those cleaning up on the Sunday morning, were a real pleasure to meet and interact with. All were polite, cheerful, helpful and professional, a real credit to your organisation. What struck us most, considering the number of weddings you must host on a weekly basis, your staff still makde Steve and Katy feel very special as if theirs was the one and only wedding and they wanted to do everyting in their power to ensure it was a successful day. This they certainly achieved in abundance.

We would like to give a particular mention to Jess who handled everything in such a calm, cheerful and relaxed manner which allowed the whole day to go so smoothly and be enjoyed by all.

As you will no doubt be well aware, Rockbeare Manor and the grounds it is set in, along with its talented chefs, makes for the most perfect wedding venue. However, without the right staff to back this up all that would count for very little in the end. Certainly from the experience Steve and Katy and all of us had that day then it appears that the Rockbeare Manor does have it all. So again, thank you very muc for making it such a wonderful day and we do with you every success for the future.

Yours sincerely,
Nick and Sally Leonard - Mother and Father of the Bride
Jess
Wow, wow, wow! I don't know where to start. Anna, You are just incredible and I can't thank you enough for the perfect weekend!
Every little detail, all the staff, the running of the whole day, the breakfast, your help with my littlest one when she hurt herself, it was all everything more than I ever could imagine.
Thank you thank you, thank you!

Every single one of our guests that I've spoken to have said what an amazing venue it was. Everyone felt relaxed even with 30 kids under 10 running around!!

The night before was so relaxing in the amazing dairy it was enough space for the 6 of us to relax and get excited about the day ahead. Then the dressing room next door with all the mirrors and lights was extra special so much space. It was the luxury of going to a boudoir salon but at home basically! Our hair and makeup team were super excited to arrive to see the amazing space they had to get us all ready in.
The little hamper of breakfast food again was another special touch, you even catered for my sister who has a dairy allergy so we didn't have to stress about anything. What a way to start a wedding in such a pretty little setting!

You Anna are a credit to Rockbeare, you have such a calming personality and made me feel at ease the whole way through not at one point of wedding planning were we stressed all thanks to you.
I can't sing your praises enough! Honestly.

Rockbeare is a very special place to us and we will never forget our special day
Mr and Mrs Walker
Hi Davy. Dave and I just wanted to say to you and your team what a fantastic day we had on Sunday, it really couldnt have been more perfect for us. Everyone only had good things to say especially about the food. Nothing was to much effort and your patience and working behind the scenes to ensure it went smoothly and was so enjoyable was very much appreciated. Please can you also pass on our thanks to your whole team.

Mr and Mrs Walker - Sunday 9th October 2022

Hi Anna, we just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all the staff at Rockbeare Manor. From when we came for the first look round just after we got engaged we fell in love with the beautiful venue and you and Davy have made the planning completely stress free for us. When we came in to set up it was so exciting and you were just perfect! Yesterday was the most amazing day and you made the day run so smoothly and perfectly! We cannot thank you enough for everything. You and all the staff where so helpful and it was a perfect day! All the guests where in love with the venue and we’re so grateful we could have our day in such a special place.

Thank you to the chefs the food was incredible and exactly what everyone needed and the service was amazing too!!

Thank you so much again, lots of love, Jenny and Brandon - Saturday 19th November 2022
Jen and Chris
Hi Jess, we want to say thank you so much for all of your hard work on our wedding day! We couldn’t be happier with how the day went – it was the best day of our lives and you were a big part of that.

From the initial viewing with Anna in April/ May you have all been so helpful. Anna was so knowledgeable, answering all of our questions. We love the transparency and all the information you shared with us before we booked with you. We felt confident we had made the right choice with Rockbeare and now would recommend you guys to everyone!

The planning meeting in September really put our minds at ease that the day would go well – you and Aimee thought of everything and gave some brilliant suggestions which we hadn’t considered but that made the day go so smoothly. Having 138 people there with so many different decorations, timings, vendors, etc, I was worried something would go wrong but we left the planning meeting feeling really excited! Following this and up until the wedding you were all super responsive and helpful on email – answering all of our questions quickly and informatively.

On the day itself, Jess you were SO helpful. You were on top of everything, regularly checking in to see if we needed anything or prompting us/ the bridal party when we had forgotten something. You really went above and beyond, even helping me with Chris’ jacket! My sisters and Mum and Dad all commented on how lovely and helpful you were. Chris and I felt like we could truly relax and enjoy ourselves on the day which just summaries how great you all were.

The next day having all of our flowers on the table for breakfast was such a lovely touch! Also your team packed up everything so well it was so easy for us to pack up our cars the next day.

We couldn’t be more thankful of you all, we just want to re do the whole day again!!

We will send through any professional pictures of Rockbeare we receive as everyone has said how beautiful the venue was."

Thanks again and have a lovely Christmas and New Year.
