Bride and groom kiss in a New Forest meadow outside Carey's Manor

Carey’s Manor summer wedding

Ella and Adam chose the elegant surroundings of Carey’s Manor for their wedding last July. I’m delighted that their day is being celebrated with its very own feature in the latest edition of Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding.

Set in beautifully-landscaped gardens on the edge of Brockenhurst, Carey’s Manor is a natural choice for the wedding couple who value period features combined with modern amenities.

Arriving from home in a vintage Jaguar owned by a relation – it also took Ella’s mother to her wedding back in the day – Ella and her bridesmaids were serenaded up the aisle by violinist Hollie Chapman. Colours on the day – green, white and red reflected the Anglo-Welsh spirit of the day: Ella and Adam met as students at Cardiff University. Their 80 guests enjoyed attentive hospitality at Carey’s Manor, and fine summer weather.

Dom was brilliant from start to finish. He took time getting to know us and what type of photos we wanted on the wedding day. He was very quick getting back to me with any questions I had and made us feel relaxed. The wedding photo albums we have had recently were excellent.
