We are overjoyed to share some fantastic news — Highley Manor has been named a winner in the Hitched Wedding Awards 2026, recognised as one of the UK’s most trusted and highly rated wedding venues.
What makes this award so meaningful is that it’s entirely based on feedback from the couples we’ve had the honour of celebrating with — the people who truly know our service and experience best.
About the Hitched Wedding Awards
The Hitched Wedding Awards, run by Hitched.co.uk — part of The Knot Worldwide — celebrate the very best in the UK wedding industry.
Now in their fifth year, the awards shine a spotlight on venues and suppliers who have consistently impressed couples. What sets them apart? Winners are chosen based entirely on verified reviews from recently married couples, ensuring the recognition is genuine and authentic.
In 2025, over 45,000 verified reviews across 31,000+ UK wedding professionals were analysed, making this award one of the most respected in the industry.
How Winners Are Chosen
To be considered for a Hitched Wedding Award, venues and suppliers must:
- Receive at least 7 verified reviews
- Achieve an average rating of 4.75 or higher
- Collect these reviews within the year (1st January – 31st December 2025)
Every accolade is decided by couples themselves, which makes it a true reflection of exceptional service, attention to detail, and memorable experiences.
We are proud to have been recognised in the Wedding Venue category — a recognition of our team’s dedication to delivering weddings that are both seamless and unforgettable.
