How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Venue for Your Big Day

Choosing a wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions in your wedding planning journey. With so many stunning wedding locations in Cheshire and beyond, it can feel overwhelming to know where to start. Whether you’re drawn to country house wedding venues, outdoor wedding venues, or a unique manor house wedding venue, your choice should reflect your personal love story and style.

Here are some key things to consider when selecting the perfect place to say, “I do.”

1. Consider Your Wedding Style

Your wedding venue should complement your vision for the day. Are you dreaming of an outdoor ceremony surrounded by nature? Do you prefer the charm and history of a manor wedding venue? Or is a modern luxury wedding venue more your style? Narrowing down your aesthetic can help refine your search for the best wedding venues for you.

2. Think About Guest Comfort

If you have guests travelling from different locations, considering wedding venues with on-site or nearby accommodation can be a game-changer. Having on-site accommodation makes things easier for you and your loved ones, allowing everyone to enjoy the celebration without worrying about logistics.

3. Indoor vs. Outdoor Options

Weather can be unpredictable, so having flexibility is key. Some outdoor wedding venues, like Delamere Manor, allow couples to decide whether to hold their ceremony inside or outside as late as two hours before the event. This means you can plan for an outdoor celebration while having a backup option just in case.

4. Exclusive vs. Non-Exclusive Use

Do you want a completely private experience, or are you happy to share the venue with other events? Exclusive hire wedding venues, such as Delamere Manor, offer complete privacy, so you and your guests have the entire space to yourselves. This ensures a more personal and intimate atmosphere, free from distractions.

5. Hidden Gems and Unique Features

What makes a venue truly special? Perhaps it has breathtaking countryside views, a hidden nightclub for an unforgettable after-party, or a beautiful retractable-roofed courtyard. The best wedding venues offer those little extras that give your day the ‘wow’ factor.
