The “Rain Contingency”: Why Delamere Manor offers the perfect springtime Plan BAdd Your Heading Text Here
Planning a Cheshire-based springtime wedding? Inevitably you will have given plenty of thought to what the weather might have in store for your wedding day, and how it might affect your plans.
Spring is such a beautiful season to hold nuptials. Declaring your ‘I Do’s against a backdrop of bluebells and blossom is not only picturesque, but also symbolic of the new life you’re about to embark upon once you’re married. Pair that with lighter evenings and (slightly) warmer weather, and you have a recipe for a wonderful wedding day.
The one thing that springtime guarantee, however, is unpredictable weather. They don’t call them April Showers for nothing!
The Terrace
For couples dreaming of an outdoor ceremony, this typically takes place on our beautiful south-facing terrace. If this is your preference, we’ll plan everything with that in mind.
What makes Delamere Manor unique, however, is our flexibility — we can move the ceremony into the courtyard up to two hours before it’s due to begin, depending on the weather. Many venues require this decision days in advance, but as our brides are usually getting ready on-site in the beauty parlour from early morning, we’re in constant communication, allowing for a much more relaxed and seamless experience.
The Courtyard
Whether you’re planning alfresco dining or a first dance under the stars, the Courtyard can be effortlessly adapted to suit your vision.
By choosing to get married at Cheshire’s Delamere Manor, you can wave farewell to weather-based anxiety by holding your wedding ceremony in our courtyard.
With a roof that is fully retractable, our sensational, contemporary, glass-fronted courtyard offers the perfect solution for springtime weather. By being able to decide your final wedding ceremony location two hours before your ceremony, you don’t have to worry about obsessively checking the weather apps on the days leading up to your wedding day, and you don’t have to worry about swapping to an indoor ceremony space the day before only for it to not rain after all!
Even better? Once the sun has set, the space is lit up with thousands of twinkly lights, which looks even more magical than it sounds.
Nestled amidst more than one hundred acres of rolling Cheshire countryside, Delamere Manor is an award winning, exclusive Northwest venue that offers a truly luxurious setting for your special day. This majestic estate overlooks a breathtaking six-acre lake and provides a variety of spectacular indoor and outdoor locations for both your ceremony and reception.
From the elegant comfort of our bridal suite and guest bedrooms to the relaxing sanctuary of our Beauty Parlour, every detail is designed for your enjoyment. With a courtyard featuring a fully retractable roof and world class culinary offerings, we provide all the essential elements to ensure your wedding celebration is both seamless and unforgettable.
If you’re looking for a decadent exclusive-use country house for your wedding, Delamere Manor is the venue for you.
