Beautiful venue, beautiful setting, beautiful people what an amazing experience to have our wedding here! Joey and the team were so easy to work with and made sure our day went off without a hitch. The venue was just perfect for everything we had planned and flowed from room to room - everyone loved it! I would highly recommend using Old Down for your wedding or special event you won’t regret it!

We had our wedding reception at Old Down Manor at the beginning of July.

The venue was absolutely stunning, I remember we both fell in love with it when we'd come for a viewing the year before. The views, the décor, the layout, and the bedrooms are all simply stunning. I love that everything is neutral, which means that any colour scheme works fantastically!

I want to say a special thank you to Emma, Jason, and Molly who helped us with the planning, and looked after us excellently on the day. They made sure that everything was seamless, and that us and the guests thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Myself, my husband, and all our wedding guests were blown away by the level of care and attention to detail that was given to us.

Thank you so much!! xx

We had our wedding at The Barn on the 24th Aug and I have to say, Lucy and the team at Old Down were just amazing. She made everything really easy and was very accommodating. Nothing we asked was too much trouble. On the day, everything went exactly as we wanted it to and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. All of our guests said how great the venue, gardens, food and staff were. We really couldn’t have asked for a better day!

We recently got married at old down and wow the manor is amazing with amazing views. Emma has been nothing but helpful we originally were getting married at another venue but 2 months before wedding the venue suffered water damaged which then we found old down. Emma helped us so much in getting our wedding sorted in the very short space of time which took a massive load of stress off us.
