All Manor of Events

The woodland setting is naturally beautiful, and with not many venues offering this, it was a selling point. Managing staff, the brunette, extremely rude. All the setting up was left to us apart from the minimal effort from staff on table decorations, all supplied by bride and groom. We was told if we needed help setting anything up it needs to be done by 11pm the night before, no staff came to collect the decorations or let us know the prom had finished so we could decorate the tables if we wished.Accommodation, pods were all hired out, at least six months prior to the wedding. The night before the wedding, we arrived with the bride (2 adults & 2 children), and stayed in the bridal suite. We had to pay £400 damage deposit, all extra charges mounting up by this point. Upon entering the pod, which unfortunately had NOT been cleaned prior to our arrival, we discovered broken glass and prescription medication on the floor, extremely dangerous. We only had two towels, despite staff being informed that there would be a total of four in the bridal pod the night before the wedding. No sofa bed set up, even though £25 was paid for this.Bar staff charging different amounts for drinks as the night went on, obviously staff felt they could take advantage once guests were under the influence of alcohol and assumed it would go unnoticed. Food served all in good time so all guests ate together. Despite having chosen meal options months in advance and All Manor being informed of my allergies, on the day, staff approached and said the pudding I had chosen is no longer suitable for me, surely the chef was aware of ingredients long before the wedding day, this happened with two guests. The alternatives were not to the same standard of the original food requested. Thankfully I was made aware of the ingredients and didn’t have an allergic reaction as I don’t have confidence the staff would know what to do in such an situation. Management need to rectify menu’s and make clear the ingredients and not approach guests on the day, poor organisation, one would assume All Manor use the same suppliers and are aware of ingredients.Security guard come first aider was helpful.Not all of the bride and grooms items were returned, the staff put everything in the corner of the dining room after the wedding so we could collect in the morning, it wasn’t until the bride was home that she realised items were missing.At 5pm on the wedding evening we requested our key for the ‘Bean’ pod which we had hired. We was then rudely informed we must pay £200 damage deposit before All Manor Of Events will release our key, there was no disclosure of this additional payment before we arrived. Management claim the bride and groom received this information but again, management are being dishonest and lying. When paying the £200 damage deposit, we was told once the cleaners came at 10am and confirmed the pod was fine, that the deposit would then be returned, 10 o’clock came and went, we was told the cleaners weren’t in yet, so it would be the next day, in total we waited nine days for our deposit to be returned, All Manor claim it was the fault of the bank, but they just pass the buck and refuse to accept liability.The Bean pod was also not cleaned prior to our arrival, needs dusting and floor cleaned, bathroom looked as though it had a quick wipe over, minimal effort.Having received my bank statement, it would appear I also have unknown transaction on my account, the only time I used my card was to pay the £200 damage deposit, so this fraudulent transaction has been logged with the bank and they are investigating.If management changed their attitudes, actually employed a cleaner for the pods and was honest and upfront about their pricing, our experience would have been much better. The venue is beautiful but the staff, especially management staff let this venue down, I do not recommend. Negative review left on Facebook but my review appears to have been removed and I have been blocked, so clearly the truth hurts.

Absoulately incredible day! Cannot rate All Manor of Events staff enough. Especially Gabi and Caitlin. You want a wedding to run smoothly these are your team and venue. Venue is beautiful and surroundings. Food literally amazing. Thank you so much for giving us the best memories.

Thank you so much to the team at All Manor of Events for making our wedding day one to remember for all that attended. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer venue and team. All food throughout the day was lovely, our guests particularly enjoyed the ‘make your own’ pizzas. Staff were friendly and we’d like the thank Jess for helping us along the way from planning to the actual day. We can also recommend the bridal suite and pods on site, it was great to be able to be on site the night before and also accommodate some of our guests who travelled to be with us. Overall All Manor of Events is a lovely venue with everything you need for your wedding day to be in one place. We will definitely be recommending it to others. Thanks again to the whole team for helping make our day a special one.Lily and Declan

A beautiful venue... ideal for a wedding.. the pods have everything you need too, with a self contained kitchen incl fridge & microwave & a surprisingly powerful shower. Drink prices at the bar are a bit steep but that's to be expected given there isn't another bar for miles. The only not so great thing is the gravel in thw pod grounds gets everywhere & no good if you have heels or shoes you dont want to get scuffed. Recommend.

Fantastic venue a little disappointed with the service we went to the bar and everytime the prices had changed. Guests in our party were asked for deposits for the pods but not until they had arrived. This upset the bride.And how the could ask £600 for canopies which were all vegetarian was beyond me! There was no way they could have cost that much!The actual ceremony magical and beautiful the venue was stunning but it's a shame the staff let it down. Mainly management.

Katie and jess were absolutely incredible, from our first open day to the big day itself, they had everything down to a fine art. Both of them are incredible at their jobs and have a way of keeping everything under control while being able to have a laugh and put you at ease. The venue is absolutely stunning and they all worked so hard to make sure we had the best day we possibly could. The food was delicious and all of our guests raved about it! From dressing the venue, answering all our questions and liaising with external vendors, it went so smoothly. The venue is incredibly well priced compared to others in the Ipswich area and they have so many options for packages, food and options of where to get married on the premises. We cannot recommend AMOE highly enough. It was an absolute dream and we'd both do it again in a heartbeat.

Came here for prom 11 years ago and hadn't been since. We just attended my oldest friends wedding there and it was absolutely beautiful. Venue looks great as ever, food is *chefs kiss* and just over all another great experience

We came here to celebrate my brothers wedding. The place is beautiful. The staff were friendly and the surroundings were just gorgeous. Based on a farm, it was peaceful (until we arrived ) and just a wonderful place to celebrate a wedding.

Lovely venue but the bar prices are just ridiculously high. £10.50 for a double with mixer, and prices of drinks increase as the night goes on! Pure greed after all the money that has been spent on the wedding.

All Manor of Events have done it again! The most amazing Christmas party night last night, decorations simply breathtaking! Wonderful food, great bar service and good music! Entertainment you just won’t see anywhere else, so unique! It’s our favourite go to place in Suffolk! Can’t wait for next year!
