Entertaining at Lemore Manor
At Lemore Manor, we believe there are four essential ingredients to creating a fantastic
and memorable wedding celebration:
The company of good friends and family, a stunning venue offering great hospitality
exceptional foods and wines and good entertainment
We do offer “The Stunning Venue with Great Hospitality and Exceptional Foods and
Wines” and we leave the other two ingredients to yourselves!
We take great pride in presentation, using locally sourced ingredients to produce
healthy and exciting menus. We have put a few ideas together as a starting point, and
we are happy to discuss specific ideas and themes in more detail with you.
Our staff are unobtrusive but exceptional, paying attention to little details that matter
and service that you would expect from a high class establishment.
We all enjoy looking after our couples and their guests and it is our aim to ensure you
have the most wonderful time whilst staying at Lemore Manor.
Our menus have been carefully put together to include everything you need for a truly
wonderful wedding day, whatever your budget.
There are many different ways to entertain your guests with foods and we have some
wonderful ideas to share with you. To get you started, we have put a few of these
together, but we are very happy to discuss your preferred choices in more detail when
we meet in person. We are mindful that not every couple wishes to have a sit down
wedding breakfast and that is why our team at Lemore are excited to introduce Informal
Dining, Afternoon Tea, Festival Foods from our Outdoor Kitchens, along with our
delicious range of wedding breakfasts. Our new Orangery will be the perfect place to
dine with close family and friends, overlooking the stunning gardens with doors opening
onto the Terrace.
We understand the need for clear costing’s without any nasty surprises, so you can get
on and budget for your all important day.
Honesty is the best policy, so let us tell you how our menus work…
Before Your Big Day
Before your arrival for your wedding our events team will be on hand to assist you with
ideas, planning and co-ordination to ensure the smooth running of your day. We work
closely with you to ensure that your schedule, timings, table plans and all miner details
are all taken into account, so can relax on arrival, knowing we have got it all covered.
