Happy couple married in June

I'd recommend Capesthorne as a wedding venue for so many reasons, our guests still talk about how beautiful our wedding day was a year later

As soon as my now-husband proposed in early 2018 we dived into wedding venue hunting, but I'm incredibly picky and dismissed almost every venue I saw online until I came across Capesthorne Hall! We wanted an exclusive venue in Cheshire within easy access of Manchester - tick, a chapel for our Persian ceremony- tick, a sense of history and a real 'wow factor' and majestic architecture - tick, a stunning and intimate ceremony room and a modern part of the venue for the reception with beautiful grounds - tick!!! As soon as we visited this venue we knew we'd found 'the one' and it was the only one we saw. The Capesthorne team, in particular Lynn Newton who was our main liaison contact, were absolutely fantastic and provided us with flexible options for how we could use the space on the big day. Lynn answered all our questions quickly and was always reassuring and positive! I'd recommend Capesthorne as a wedding venue for so many reasons, our guests still talk about how beautiful our wedding day was a year later and we have so many wonderful memories of Capesthorne. The venue is well worth the cost (especially when you consider many non-exclusive venues are not much cheaper - it's really a no-brainer!!), and although our wedding took place before the new accommodation was finished, it's in close proximity to several lovely hotels and train stations so also convenient for guests and the wedding party. The venue team also has excellent relationships with all the top wedding suppliers in Cheshire, which just made everything easy and reassuring when booking these (that they would have everything set up correctly on the day etc with no logistics issues - and this was the case with everything running extremely smoothly on the day). I would also definitely recommend using Barretts Catering as they are one of Capesthorne's named catering suppliers and were fantastic value, extremely accommodating in creating our perfect Persian inspired menu and the food was wonderful. All in all, I could not recommend Capesthorne Hall any more highly - 5 big stars from us!

A huge thank you to all the staff at Capesthorne on Saturday and to all of you who helped in the run up to the big day.

Nothing was too much trouble on the day and the guests were looked after wonderfully.

Stunning venue

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for last Saturday, we had a fantastic wedding day. Whilst storm Brian wasn’t what we had planned for the weather the beautiful settings inside and at the front were perfect. Everyone has commented on such a stunning place and we can’t recommend it enough to family and friends for any future celebrations and weddings.

Eternally Grateful

We are eternally grateful to the fab team at Capesthorne Hall for making our wedding day so special and memorable. From my initial email enquiry right the way through to our drinks reception, they did not disappoint. The ladies at Capesthorne Hall are so lovely and everything you could wish for in a wedding co-ordinator. They certainly know their stuff and we trusted them 100% with organising our special day. They are totally on the ball and organise every single detail perfectly, but with minimum fuss. They are professional yet really friendly, down to earth and put you at ease. The perfect combination for a bride to be :-). Nothing was too much trouble and the entire experience from start to finish is one that we will never forget.
