Description

Dating back to the 14th century, our magnificent stately home, beautiful terrace and stunning gardens with a lake provide a truly enchanting and romantic backdrop for your dream wedding day. A warm and welcoming atmosphere blends with the grandeur and elegance of the house, making an idyllic setting for civil ceremonies and wedding receptions. Since our first wedding in 1999 we have picked up several wedding accolades over the years. Home to the 19th Earl & Countess of Derby, the Knowsley estate is totally private and exclusively yours to relax and enjoy your wedding day with family and friends. With regal interiors, you will most certainly be celebrating in grand style! Exchange your vows in the Stucco Ballroom with its beautiful gold encrusted detail on the walls and ceiling which oozes romance and has a capacity of up to 132 guests. Enjoy drinks and canapes on the terrace overlooking the beautiful manicured gardens and lake or within the cosy and luxurious surroundings of the Walnut Drawing Room with a roaring open fire for winter weddings. For your wedding breakfast, our talented in-house team of chefs will deliver a sumptuous 3-course meal for you to feast on in the grandeur of the State Dining Room while our dedicated events team will ensure that everything runs seamlessly. You will have the opportunity to stay over in the house in one of our 17 luxury bedrooms that are reserved just for you and your guests. All our accommodation has been individually designed by The Countess of Derby and maintained to a high standard by our team of dedicated Housekeepers, so expect country house chic with amazing views of the 2,500 private estate. Our aim is to deliver the most memorable and wonderful experience to each and every guest who enters our doors and we can't wait to welcome you.

Stunning venue that goes above and beyondStunning venue that goes above and beyond
Choosing Knowsley Hall as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made. From the very beginning, the team went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. They were a joy to work with throughout every step of the planning process—professional, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure every detail was just right. On our wedding day, the staff treated our guests with such warmth and kindness, ensuring that everyone felt welcomed and cared for. Their professionalism and attention to detail were second to none. The venue itself is breathtaking. Knowsley Hall is rich in history and beauty, with stunning views in every direction. The grounds create the most magical backdrop for photos, and the accommodations were an unforgettable experience in themselves. We honestly couldn’t recommend Knowsley Hall more highly—it’s the perfect setting for a dream wedding, and we’ll cherish our memories there forever.Choosing Knowsley Hall as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made.

Winter Wedding @ Knowsley Hall Winter Wedding @ Knowsley Hall
From the initial wedding fayre, to booking a date with Bianca, to final execution and everything in between, Knowsley Hall and its staff are the best of the best. Jason and Niall, our coordinators, left absolutely no stone unturned both before the wedding and on the day itself. The level of detail is absolutely fantastic and they make the process so smooth, when in reality it should be the opposite! And on the day itself... the level of service not just Jason but the rest of the staff, in particular Dan the main waiter, was out of this world. Totally blown away by it to be honest. They made it the best day ever and we can't thank them enough. Highly recommend having Knowsley Hall as your wedding venue as it truly is exceptional from start to finish.

Our wedding at Knowsley Hall was absolutely perfect. From our initial viewing of the venue right through to our wedding day the staff were fabulous and always on hand to answer any questions. On the day itself nothing was too much trouble and the team at Knowsley Hall ensured everything ran smoothly, meaning that we could just relax and enjoy the day knowing we were in good hands! The venue is stunning and many of our guests commented on what a beautiful venue it was and how well organised the day was. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more and we are incredibly glad we chose to have our wedding at Knowsley Hall. Our wedding at Knowsley Hall was absolutely perfect.

The most amazing wedding day!!The most amazing wedding day!!
We are so lucky to have been able to have our wedding day at such a beautiful venue. From our very first visit up until our last, every member of the team has been fantastic. No request was too big, we had the most amazing atmosphere and host for our wedding day. The staff were exceptional, my nan and grandad struggle with mobility and they were looked after so well, the staff reduced their anxiety by always being around to help them whenever they needed it. The planning, the structure of the day, basically everything was perfect. I would highly recommend Knowsley hall, not just for the beautiful venue but the staff, the chef, everyone who makes it a truly remarkable place. We are always proud to say where we got married! And thank you to all the team for making our dreams come true for our perfect day. We are so lucky to have been able to have our wedding day at such a beautiful venue.

A truly, TRULY unforgettable experience!A truly, TRULY unforgettable experience!
I don't exaggerate when I say Knowsley Hall took care of everything and more on my wedding day. As an event coordinator myself, I did not even have a second to stress about something before Knowsley had spotted it and taken care of it to the highest quality! There is nothing they couldn't do for us and more and when it came to the wedding day, my husband and I were able to focus on each other and had the best time ever. Our guests raved about the service even! The food, the drinks, the people, the gorgeous venue, Knowsley was an absolute dream.I don't exaggerate when I say Knowsley Hall took care of everything and more on my wedding day.

A Perfect DayA Perfect Day
The Team at Knowsley Hall made sure our wedding weekend was perfect. From accommodating our family from the afternoon before our day to the morning after our wedding, we enjoyed almost three full days of kindness and care from the Team at Knowsley Hall. Whilst the Grounds and Hall are certain to take your breath away, our guests all remarked the same - it was the care and attentiveness of the Team which shone through and ensured every person was as elated as we were on our big day. The degree of friendly support and advice from the Team was exceptional and, we feel, is Knowsley Hall’s most valuable asset. From our initial viewing, booking, arranging suppliers and logistics, and the biggest challenge of selecting from the carefully designed dishes for our Breakfast, the expertise from each member of the Team was invaluable. We also benefitted from Knowsley Hall’s brilliant offering of partner suppliers, who were each as exceptional as the Team at Knowsley themselves. If you are looking for a Team you can trust, and an idyllic story-book location, look no further than Knowsley Hall! The Team at Knowsley Hall made sure our wedding weekend was perfect.

Best Wedding Venue EverBest Wedding Venue Ever
From the very first open evening we attended at Knowsley Hall, we knew this was going to be our wedding venue. It is a very special place. The Hall and the grounds are absolutely stunning and provide the perfect setting for your big day. Having exclusive hire really does make you feel like royalty for the day as you and your guests are free to roam the rooms and grounds as though you live there! Everybody at Knowsley was fantastic and we couldn’t fault the service. Bianca, who took us on our tours on open days, is so friendly and helpful. When we saw her at the Hall after booking our wedding, she always greeted us like old friends! Jason and Niall were outstanding on the lead up to, and during, the special day. They couldn’t do enough for us and handled everything perfectly. True professionals! We also had some guests who required additional help with mobility on the day. When we made Knowsley aware of this, they ensured that specific staff members were assigned to help these guests with their needs when necessary. This was over and above our expectations, and the guests were absolutely thrilled as they were able to relax and enjoy the day. The food was absolutely beautiful and served in a gorgeous setting. Every single detail of the day was incredible and we love looking back over the photos. We just wish we could do it all over again! Thank you so much to the whole team for everything. We are so envious of anybody who has their wedding here to look forward to! From the very first open evening we attended at Knowsley Hall, we knew this was going to be our wedding venue.
