Jacob and Alexandra- Our Childhood Sweethearts

Alexandra looked a stunning sight as she made her way down the Manor’s staircase in her beautiful gown. Draping behind her was the most gorgeous long veil, complemented by some fabulous green shoes which supported the Irish contingency and theme that ran throughout the wedding. The Irish theme was evident in the wedding, from Groom Jacob’s green suit, to the guests attending the wedding.

Victoria & Neil With Their Little Boy Ernie

The big day had arrived and everything was in place for the wedding to commence.

Victoria and Neil were having their ceremony in the barn – a popular choice, and had the aisle set up so as Victoria steps through the grand barn doors, she walked diagonally and towards the corner of the barn.The 22 piece band, Lofthouse Brass Band, was ready and waiting for the imminent entrance of the bride. (The band which I thought was a 2 piece band but found out it was actually a 22 piece only a few days before the wedding!)

Kate’s 50th Birthday Celebration

The 50th Birthday party held on Friday the 21st October 2016, was a huge success for the birthday girl Kate and everyone had a brilliant time.

Kate had decorated the barn with spectacular art work she had cleverly made herself. There was a flamingo standing proud in the grounds, and not one but two life sized Betty Boops with the usual pout and assets greeting you as you entered the barn.

Mr & Mrs Stephenson

Today on the blog we're looking back at the wonderful wedding of Kate Long and Robert Stephenson. Luckily the rain held off as the couple tied the knot under our beautiful Lych gate, which was decorated with an array of colourful flowers, arranged by Rachel Slater at Owl House Flowers.

Wedding Fair – Brides Up North

Both historic and contemporary, Hornington Manor is glamorous and stylish with photo opportunities galore illustrating and capturing your most precious moments for your special day.

Pre planning of a wedding takes away the stress and last minute decisions. And that is exactly what the wedding fair, held here at Hornington Manor did for many brides and grooms, who attended on Sunday 23rd October 2016.

Callie & George

I have been privileged to be part of many wonderful weddings here at Hornington Manor, and the special day of Callie and George was no exception.

The weather of course can be a bonus but with the spacious wedding barn and it's accompanying rustic back drop for the ceremony, nothing could have been more delightful.

Mr & Mrs Karen and Jamie Bingle – Team Bingle and Garbutt

I have known Karen and Jamie and both their families for 18 months now, taking them through the journey of what was going to be one of the happiest day of their lives. Both of their families were equally involved in the lead up to the special date booked in for September. The unity of the families shone through every time I got the pleasure to meet up with them. It was evident both families wanted to create a very special day for everyone to celebrate.

Sally and Avtar – September 2016

Sally and Avtar (AJ)’s big weekend had arrived. On Friday, having hired a big van carrying all their belongings, Aj and Sally arrived to make Hornington Manor their home for their weekend of special wedding celebrations.

With Sally and her helper’s hard work, the Hornington barn was soon transformed into the perfect venue for Sally and AJ to host their wedding and celebrate with very excited friends and family. A lot whom had already arrived to enjoy the Friday evening with the couple, no doubt to make the most of the manor for the weekend and help calm their nerves before the big day on Saturday.

Naomi and Byron-Theseus of Athens and Hippolyta

A Midsummer Night’s Dream was Naomi’s vision for their wedding at Hornington Manor, a theme full of twinkling lights and pretty flowers. As always I was so excited to see the barn’s transformation, as the bride’s and their little helpers always do such a wonderful job.  

Debbie and James- ‘Oh no, it’s going to rain!’

When Debbie arrived at Hornington Manor on Friday, she was so upset that the forecast had changed for their big day, and it was unfortunately going to rain for most of it.

Apart from not being able to do a blooming thing about the weather, we reassured her as much as we could that it was still going to be a spectacular weekend. Our bar man Simon gave her a little hug and said “So! We are going to have an ace time anyway.”
