The romantic Tudor manor house on the brow of a Hampshire hill

Barn-style wedding venue

The quintessential English country hideaway, Cain Manor’s Tudor charm steals your heart the moment you reach the end of its winding, woodland drive. Where Hampshire meets Surrey, surrounded by landscaped grounds, it’s a perfectly secluded setting.

The crunch of gravel gives way to weathered flagstones as you approach the main door. Wandering beneath original oak beams (repurposed from ancient ships, no less), you glimpse the courtyard garden and the sweeping views beyond. It’s a vista framed by the lofty windows of The Music Room, too – a barn-style space that looks as lovely festooned in fairy lights as bathed in the light of a summer afternoon.

Good to know

The manor house and its grounds are exclusively yours for 24 hours, so think of it as your home for the day (and night). It’s licensed to host wedding ceremonies both inside and out, with up to 123 guests, and 170 for an evening reception. Roaring log fires add to the magic of a winter wedding here. There’s a beautiful bridal suite with a four-poster bed and roll-top bath, and a brand-new ‘Getting Ready Room’. Naturally, breakfast is included, served the following morning for you and your resident guests.

Wedding ceremonies

Cain Manor’s ancient beams, all around you in The Music Room, exude romance. But this isn’t the only setting for your ceremony. We’ve made the most of the manor’s idyllic meadows, just across the courtyard garden, with a whimsical pergola dressed for summer weddings (though your guests may be distracted, just for a moment, by the views)…

Wedding receptions

With the house and grounds exclusively yours, it’s time for exuberant celebration. The gardens, of course, are a gift for Pimm’s and Prosecco in the sunshine as the anticipation builds for your wedding breakfast. Take your seats for feasting in The Music Room, then mingle over truffles in The Library (where open fires roar in winter). As your evening reception begins, a sea of twinkling lights in The Music Room signals the moment your presence is required on the dancefloor….

The food

You eat first with your eyes, so they say. From delicate canapés as guests mingle (“don’t mind if I do!”) to the three-course wedding breakfast they’ll take their seats for, expect exquisite presentation as standard. But nothing looks too good to eat. These are dishes of exquisite flavour – conceived, above all, to be savoured. Find out more here, or take a look at our menus for inspiration.

The bedrooms

Steal away to the manor’s master bedroom. Just the two of you now, an inviting four-poster, and an equally enticing free-standing bath. Original oak beams exude character in Cain Manor’s characterful bridal suite, and in ten beautiful bedrooms for your friends and family (including cosy twins – ideal for younger guests).

With exclusive use of the house for 24 hours, you might also find time to enjoy the tennis courts, or lose yourselves in the quiet beauty of the grounds (those views!).

The best of times, in the best of hands

Planning your wedding doesn’t have to feel stressful. For Cain Manor couples, the perfect venue comes with peace of mind, in the form of 25 years’ experience and a best-in-the-business online planner. You’ll enjoy specialist, seven-days-a-week support every step of the way to – and during – your dream day. Keep all your plans in one secure place, instantly accessible wherever, whenever. It’s here you’ll also note your menu choices, following a tasting session with our chefs. Your wedding planning team shares access, so everyone’s aware of every last detail – and any changes you make along the way.

Ready for the limelight

New for 2023, a private dressing room is yours to commandeer from 9 o’clock on the morning of your wedding day. Three make-up stations (and a bottle of something sparkling on ice) await your arrival. Invite your beautician and a close friend or two, and together, prepare to dazzle. This is your moment.
