The most phenomenal day

What you get with a wedding day here goes so far beyond what you pay for. Yes you have the setting in all it's natural beauty, the rustic barn and outdoor seating, the activities, the fun! The bird show, the views of the gazebo and pond. And all of this is awesome btw, couldn't fault it, and it created the most memorable wedding day we could have asked for. But the staff! Everyone involved! They were all the most amazing people! I am so grateful to them all ❤️

We simply cannot thank the team at Cheshire Woodland Weddings enough. From the moment we stepped through the door to discuss having our wedding there, right through to the big day itself, nothing was too much trouble, and everyone was so warm, friendly, and helpful. The venue really is something to behold, and was everything we were hoping for and more, but what really put the cherry on the cake were the birds of prey and archery activity after we tied the knot. Thank you to everyone

The best (and most magical) day of our lives

This venue is everything we could have ever dreamed of. From the moment we went to view it, we knew it was the one. The woodland where the ceremony is feels so special and is truly beautiful. We were very lucky that the sun was shining on our wedding day, but had it not been, the venue had many back-up plans in place for bad weather so don't let this put you off booking it. Your wedding day will be amazing here no matter what the weather. After the ceremony, we did activities such as archery, axe throwing, segways, rifle shooting, and lawn games (giant chess, croquet, connect 4, etc.) and these were all provided by the venue and included in the package price - which we found to be absolutely amazing - and it made the day feel so unique. After this, we had a bird of prey show which was such a fantastic experience. They got guests involved and the kids loved it. The staff that delivered it were brilliant! The barn for the reception was exquisite. It is decorated so beautifully and felt like the most perfect way to celebrate and end a perfect day. The staff were beyond brilliant, even the most peculiar requests from guests were met and they made sure that our guests felt comfortable and well cared for all day. They made our day so special and ensured a smooth transition between all of the sections of the day. They are clearly so experienced at what they do and I could not speak more highly of this place if I tried.

The most magical wedding day!

Such a fantastic wedding venue - woodland ceremony, birds of prey and lots of outdoor activities including archery, rifle shooting, axe throwing and Segway. What more could you want?! We had the most incredible day. If you want an outdoor wedding with a twist then look no further. So many of our guests said that it was the best wedding they had ever been to!

The best venue and team ever!

The venue is just amazing! The outdoor woodland cermony was just the most beautiful setting! Even with the unfortunate British rainy summer the day was still perfect and Ebony made sure to put all my worries at ease!! The games/birds were so wonderful. I have absolutely nothing but amazing things to say about this venue it has everything you ever need for a beautiful day!!

Our magical woodland wedding

Finding the venue: When we saw Cheshire Woodland Wedding Venue online, we knew we wanted to see it in person! Ebony welcomed us to the venue and showed us around- even though it was a grey, chilly day in February, the setting was beautiful and the barn took our breath away! We knew that if we loved it in February, we'd *LOVE* it in June with trees and foliage in full bloom. Booking: We booked in Feb 21 for June 22. Ebony was on hand throughout to answer any questions or queries- nothing was too much trouble! As part of the booking information, we were also given a list of recommended suppliers, which was really helpful and we were delighted with our choice of caterer- Treacle Town Pie Company. A brilliant recommendation! We had a meeting a few months before to run though the day, which was brilliant and helped us ensure all of the finer details were addressed. We felt really confident and excited about our day! Setting up: The afternoon before, we were able to go to the barn and add any extra touches. Nic and Ebony were on hand to help if needed. They were great to chat with and really put us at ease! The tables were set up exactly as we'd asked, which was great and made it easier to put out name cards, table names and wedding favours etc. The ceremony: On the big day, one of the registrars was caught in traffic and so slightly delayed, but Ebony was ready with a glass of fizz for the bridal party. That was thoughtful and perfect; really helped us to gather our thoughts and get ready for the walk down the aisle! The day was perfect! Despite it raining heavily the days before and it drizzling that morning, it did not affect our day. The large umbrellas were up in the ceremony area to cover guests during the service and benches dried beforehand. The sun actually made an appearance during our vows and stayed out for the rest of the day! There is a microphone in the ceremony area, with speakers around, so guests can easily hear the ceremony, as well as music before and after. The activities: The activities on offer are brilliant! We really wanted a venue where our loved ones could have fun. We wanted something different and somewhere where guests could join in and have the option to sit inside or outside. Cheshire Woodland Wedding Venue has it all!! Guests enjoyed archery, air rifle shooting, segway ride and birds of prey - these activities were mannned and the staff were superb! Other activities include low ropes, mini golf and lawn games. It was brilliant to see everyone enjoying themselves! During this time, our guests enjoyed a welcome drink from the gorgeous woodland bar, which was then available to buy drinks from during the activities. The bar staff were wonderful- they took orders and delivered to guests during the activity time which was brilliant and meant that there was never any queues. We also hired the sweet cart on offer and provided our own sweets, this went down a storm! We'd put together a playlist, this was played during the activities and the meal through the PA system. The falconry show: The falconry show was excellent! This is a must and a great way to bring guests back together before entering the barn! The staff are brilliant!! So knowledgeable and it certainly brought more laughter to the day with audience participation. The barn: The barn - wow!! Absolutely stunning! A truly magical set up! It was everything we'd hoped for and more! It was great that we could have some tables of benches and some with chairs to ensure comfort for all guests. The couch area is also a perfect touch for those wanting to have a relax and chat (or nap as my Grandpa did!) after the meal. Guests also enjoyed the outside seating area, with fire pits. We provided skewers and marshmallows (which were our wedding favours) and these were well used! From day to night, it really is a beautiful setting. We had a DJ and band to entertain guests during the evening reception. There is plenty of space on the dance floor and again, the option to sit inside or outside which suited us and our guests perfectly. During the evening, everywhere looked extra magical with the beautiful fairy lights. The woodland area was also lit up and I know a few guests enjoyed and evening walk and commented on the stunning surroundings. We would highly recommend Cheshire Woodland Wedding Venue- it truly is a wonderful place to hold your special day. The staff are excellent, the facilities are brilliant and the setting is stunning. What more could you ask for?!

Me and my now husband finally had our wedding after having 3 postponed since May 2020. In May 2022 we had the most incredible day all thanks to the staff especially ebony who was there throught our 2 year battle trying to get wed. I couldnt reccomend this venue enough, the activities, the birds of prey and the party was more than we ever expected and if we could do it all over again we would in a heart beat. We will see you all soon ❤️

We had the best day of our lives getting married at Cheshire Woodland Weddings a few weeks ago. The setting is the most beautiful place and we just couldn't find anywhere else that came close. The activities available really added to the day with shooting, archery, axe throwing, crazy golf, segways, and a falconry display. Every single moment of our day was filled with fun and laughter, exactly how we wanted it to be and this just couldn't have been replicated elsewhere. Ebony, our wedding coordinator, and Nic, the bar manager, were exceptional and we cannot thank them and the whole team enough for everything.

The best venue

Last year we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID restrictions. We moved it to April this year in the hope things would be normal and we could have our 80 guests celebrating with us. However, this is not the case and we are now planning for 15 people. The staff at Cheshire woodland weddings have been so amazing and supportive. We are now looking forward to our perfectly intimate wedding in the forest. We can not thank them enough for being so flexible and understanding when it’s a difficult time for them too.
