White marble buffet tables support both plated and buffet dining service, while a statement indoor fireplace and full air-conditioning ensure guest comfort during dinner and evening festivities year-round.

Complete your wedding reception setup with a curated selection of décor items included in your package, allowing you to style guest tables, the bridal table, cake display, and reception backdrop to suit your celebration. Available pieces include centrepieces, easels, cake tables, tablecloths, runners, chair sashes, vases, silk florals, candle holders, charger plates, mirrors, signage, and draping, all of which can be arranged within your reception layout for seated dining and speeches. You’re also welcome to bring your own decorative elements, with our in-house team available to assist in preparing your reception space ahead of guest arrival.

A key part of any wedding reception is the dining experience, and our venue provides on-site catering for both plated set menus and banquet-style buffet service during your evening celebration. Meals are prepared and served in-house to accommodate seated guest dining, with options available for dietary requirements across large receptions. Buffet service is presented on our white marble tables with refined gold detailing, supporting efficient service flow throughout dinner and ensuring all guests are comfortably catered for during the reception.

Bar service is available throughout your wedding reception, offering a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to accompany guest arrival, dinner service, speeches, and evening dancing. Couples may also include bespoke signature cocktails to suit their reception theme. Our in-house team manages beverage service across the reception timeline to support a smooth transition between dining, toasts, and entertainment for you and your guests.

Our wedding reception venue is equipped with in-house audio-visual support for speeches, MC announcements, entertainment, and evening dancing. This includes a professional sound system, wireless microphones for toasts, and reception lighting such as moving head dance floor lights, laser effects, and a smoke machine for the first dance and open floor. A 20-square-metre LED screen is also available for slideshows or video presentations during dinner service or as part of your reception programme.

At Settlers Country Manor, we offer both round guest tables and long banquet-style tables to support a range of wedding reception seating plans and dining layouts. Round tables are well suited for intimate group seating during dinner service, while long banquet tables accommodate larger receptions and formal head table arrangements for speeches and toasts. All reception tables are arranged in advance by our in-house team to align with your seating plan and ensure efficient service flow throughout the evening.
