Description
Description
Rowton Hall Hotel and Spa is a beautiful manor house on the outskirts of Chester. Surrounded by gorgeous gardens, a woodland walkway and a Victorian walled garden, the setting is as picturesque as it is romantic. The Hall itself has maintained many of its original features while being complemented beautifully by a more contemporary colour scheme.
Our ballroom can accommodate larger weddings and, with its neutral creamy tones, can easily suit any colour scheme or theme. With twinkling chandeliers, there is a feeling of intimate grandeur. The Orangery, with views across the gardens, offers a light-filled and elegant space for celebrations, while the adjoining patio with its welcoming fire pit creates the perfect spot for guests to gather as day turns to evening. The Patio Terrace or Lounge Bar Terrace are also wonderful choice's for drinks and canapés.
The original Inglenook fireplace has given us the perfect name for our Inglenook Suite, the most popular choice for ceremonies for up to 60 guests and for evening refreshments. This room is magical when lit with candles and has a lovely 1920s feel. The Adams Lounge is the best choice for intimate weddings, with another ornate fireplace. Once the Morning Room of the Hall, it enjoys wonderful natural light and views across the gardens.
We have 39 individually designed bedrooms, including two contemporary apartments. Our Bridal Suite is included in our packages and is conveniently located near the Ballroom – spacious enough for wedding preparations yet romantic enough for the happy couple to begin their married life together.

- EEmma & Scott12/01/2025Our Wedding day 16.08.24Our Wedding day 16.08.24We had our special day on Friday 16.08.24, we booked in November 2022. During planning our wedding we went through multiple wedding planners which did make me panic thinking if anything hadn't been passed on and what would happen for our wedding. We booked to stay the night before the wedding and I met Amy who i'd never met before who said she was going to be looking after us for our wedding day, I did feel worried that i'd never met her before and would everything be passed on but Amy was absolutely amazing and i'm so glad we had her looking after us for our special day. Amy made sure that everything was perfect and that there was no issues and she was a joy to have around us for the day. As soon as I walked in to Rowton we knew it was the venue for us, we loved the gardens and the interior. The food was amazing and everyone still comments how lovely it was. However I do think the conservatory could do with some renovation to match the interior of the rest of the venue. We also had issues with breakfast the morning after our wedding, people were waiting for a long time before they were asked for there order, some peoples breakfasts were cold, people had to ask for tea, coffee toast etc. This did put a bit of a downer after us having such a special day the day before and so many of our wedding party had stayed over and it ended up ending with issues.

- CCarol and John05/12/2024The made our Day The made our DayWhen we looked for a venue to get married and hold our Wedding Day at, once we had visited Rowton Hall Hotel and Spa, we didn’t need to look any further, it had to be there. The Wedding Planner and team were very helpful on the run up to the big day and on that day everything went perfectly due to their professionalism and high standards. We would highly recommend this very special venue for that very special day in your life.

- AAmy & Sam05/12/2024A magical day, we wouldn’t change a thingA magical day, we wouldn’t change a thingWe booked Rowton Hall for our wedding venue and since booking were very carefully looked after. Over a year later we still get comments made on how excellent the food and the venue was. The staff on the day were exceptional and nothing was too much for us to ask. Kieran met with us prior to the big day which really put us at ease, he pointed out small details which improved our day and made sure we were getting everything we needed from making adjustments to the room layout to ensuring we were able to sneak off for some time to ourselves as we mentioned that was one of our priorities. He was a life saver and made the day perfect! The canapés, wow, I work at a wedding venue and the canapés at Rowton are 4 times the size! My guests commented how they were the size of a starter at other venues and I couldn’t agree more - they were stunning! The garden is the perfect spot for the drinks reception, plenty of room for guests to roam and gather with ample seating and complete privacy - All things that were important to us. Everything ran seamlessly and without a glitch, things taken care of behind the scenes without the need to mention to us or our nearest and dearest. Amy who took care of us in the evening and at breakfast the next day was a star and was so lovely to see a familiar face around the venue after our guests departed. The ballroom is light and has plenty of room, our guests had a ball on our wedding day! Both bars were well attended throughout the day and into the evening and all of the staff were impeccable and all smartly dressed and friendly. Our stay in the Rowton Apartment was blissful and the perfect way to begin married life. All of our items following the wedding were organised and easy to grab the next day, everything down to a tee was perfect! I couldn’t recommend this venue more!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
It might be cliche to say this but every wedding is a beautiful wedding. The weddings with just the couple are so intimate and special, but larger weddings are full of fun and laughter, we do believe it is a privilege to be part of your day.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
My number 1 tip for couples would be to never be afraid to talk to your Wedding Manager. I always prefer my couples to talk to me and tell me about the things that are important to them, it may not be part of their package but it doesn't mean they can't have what they want.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
This is a difficult one, but I guess for me it would be the Christmas Crackers hand made with individual gifts tailored to the guests, they were stunning.....but then again the 2 person wedding where the Groom placed gifts for his Bride around the hotel for her to follow like a treasure hunt was just beautiful.....and then there was the Mother of the Bride who composed a comedy poem about the couple but mentioned every guest at the wedding in some way, something about how they knew the couple or about their personality. Everybody was in stitches!!!
Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
Friendly, professional, modern traditional, spacious, personal
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
Again so many to choose from.....any with guests laughing and having a great time, or a couple in love.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
A couple....shhhhh
What’s your favourite canapé?
OMG! Pulled pork fritters with apple sauce are amazing......spring rolls with hoi sin sauce are yummy too...and then there are the strawberries dipped in chocolate. It would probably easier to say which I don't like, but I love them all!
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
A simple bacon roll any day...just perfect for the end of the night.
What is your venue's most unique feature?
We have a stunning Victorian walled garden, woodland walkway and kitchen garden. But for me it is the stunning original carved wood panelling mixed with contemporary interior decorating. The best of both worlds!
What part of your business are you most proud of?
Our team, we pride ourselves on doing our very best for all our guests.
