We have put together some frequently asked questions to help you plan your perfect wedding day at Eaton Manor.

Of course, if there is something we haven’t mentioned then please contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guests can we have?

The maximum numbers for the ceremony and wedding breakfast are 120 people.

The maximum numbers for the evening party are 150 people.

What is a ‘dry hire’ venue?

Eaton Manor is a dry hire venue, giving you a blank canvas which allows you to put your personal unique touch to your special day – to suit your style, theme, and budget.

What packages do you have?

As a dry hire venue, we do not have any packages, however if you would like Abi to provide you with guide pricing for catering and bar options, please let her know.

Are we able to just hold our wedding reception at Eaton Manor?

The venue hire is for 3 days and it is completely up to you if you have your ceremony here or just the wedding reception.

You can personalise your day how you wish. You are not obliged to have a sit-down meal.

Have a discussion with our Events Manager, Abi, who can discuss your ideas with you.

Is outside catering allowed?

We work with a number of outside caterers; however, you are not obliged to use them.

You can bring in your own caterers, all we require is the relevant certificates from them 2 weeks prior to your wedding.

What about drinks?

We work with a mobile bar company who can arrange your drinks throughout the day.

What staff are included in the price?

Abi is your Event Manager and will be with you from your initial show-round to the running of the day, so you will always have a familiar friendly face.

Can my dog attend the wedding?

Dogs are very welcome but need to be booked in advance. There is a charge of £35 per dog, except for assistance dogs.

Do you have Chiavari chairs?

Currently the chairs that are included in the hire are banqueting chairs.

If you would prefer Chiavari chairs you would need to hire these from a chair supplier. We will happily receive the delivery for you.

Are linen, cutlery, crockery, and glassware included?

No, this is not included in the venue hire, giving you the flexibility to choose your own and create the style you want.

If you discuss this with your caterer and bar suppliers, they will usually include this in their packages.

What size linen should we hire for the tables?

We would suggest hiring:
120” Round for the round tables
70”x144” for the oblong tables
70”x70” to slip the top table only

It may be a good idea to ask the supplier if you could order some spare just in case of spillages and if they don’t get used whether you can have a refund for them.

Do you have a dance floor?

Yes, in the Heywood Room there is a permanent dance floor.

Can we use fireworks?

We do not allow fireworks at any time of the year.

Are sky lanterns allowed?

We do not allow sky lanterns at any time.
