The hotel is fully licensed for civil ceremonies, including partnerships, and offers multiple function suites to suit the flow of your day—from the vows to the evening party.
With exclusive-use options, you and your guests can enjoy the entire venue without interruption—creating a private, relaxed atmosphere.

One of the most impressive things about Crabwall Manor is the value for money it offers. With venue hire from just £500, and comprehensive packages starting from £4,995, couples have access to high-end experiences without breaking the bank.
Their seasonal, midweek, and last-minute offers mean that even if you’re planning on a tighter schedule or budget, there’s a package tailored to your needs. This flexibility is what makes Crabwall Manor such a popular and reliable choice.
