Most weddings are months in the planning, yet it’s easy to overlook even the biggest details when there’s so much to organise.

Here are five key things to remember when planning a wedding – some of them might seem obvious, but it’s surprising what sometimes gets missed.

1. Venue

A versatile wedding venue can help your day go smoothly no matter what happens, and at Delamere Manor we work hard to cover all the bases.

We have indoor and outdoor wedding ceremony locations in Cheshire’s beautiful scenery, our private nightclub, on-site bedrooms and the bridal suite for those rest breaks and outfit changes throughout the day.

2. Dress

Speaking of outfits – the bride’s wedding dress is easily the most important item of clothing at any wedding, closely followed by the bridesmaids’ dresses and the groom party’s suits.

Get the dress right and you’re guaranteed a ‘wow’ moment as the bride walks down the aisle, so make sure you give this garment the attention it deserves.

3. Organisation

You don’t need to hire a wedding planner but you do need your day to be organised if it is to run smoothly.

At Delamere Manor our experienced staff can take care of most of the schedule for your big day, leaving you with little more to do than to turn up at our Cheshire wedding venue on time!

4. Entertainment

Guests will remember your wedding ceremony no matter what, but it can be more challenging to put on an evening reception that’s a real crowd-pleaser, especially for those guests who were not invited earlier in the day.

Our private nightclub is not only an excellent entertaining space, it’s also a real talking point as it used to be the personal recording studio of Gary Barlow – plus it’s within easy reach of our bridal suite in case the bride or groom needs to escape the party for a few minutes and catch their breath during the evening.

5. Accommodation

At the end of a long day’s celebrations, people need somewhere to rest, and that especially applies to the bride, groom and top table guests who have been there right from the start.

With bedrooms on-site at our Cheshire wedding venue and the ability to add a small number of extra beds to the rooms by request, Delamere Manor can accommodate up to 12 guests as standard so your day ends as smoothly as it began.
