Best wedding venue ever!!!

Our wedding at the plough on 13-11-24 was just out of this world thanks to the wonderful team!! Everything was so well organised and all the staff were so so helpful! The food was incredible .. we just had the basic package and my goodness it’s hard to imagine how anything else could have been better!! The barn for the ceremony is so special and for the wedding breakfast! Then the orangery for reception drinks is just a lovely setting! All of the suppliers they recommend are brilliant especially black lab, added extra and the wonderful Ruth at Heaven Scent for flowers! Thank you the plough for making our day so special, Mr & Mrs Caton xx

Could not of wished for better

When the day before the wedding it rained nonstop, I was very nervous about how it would affect the day. I needn't of worried however as the amazing team at The Plough reassured us and ensured we had the reception in the beautiful Orangery. The entire day ran so smoothly, and if there were any complications we were not aware of them. The staff were lovely as always, and our wedding coordinator couldn't of done any more to ensure we had the best day. One of the reasons we chose the Plough was for the food, we visit regularly for tea and it is always delicious, so the wedding food went down a treat! The sticky toffee pudding is always a winner. The venue is just stunning inside and out, a truly beautiful setting for a wedding. They also have very good package deals, which we used, and were able to tailor our wedding to exactly what we wanted, with our coordinator helping at every stage, along with replying to my many many emails. Massive thank you to the team at the Plough, my husband and I are so grateful.

Best day ever!!

It’s been a week since we got married at The Plough Inn, and quite frankly, I wish we could do it all again. The staff were absolutely brilliant from the day we went to view, right through to the day after the wedding when we returned to collect some bits. Both ourselves, and our guests had the best time. Thank you so much! To any future potential brides and grooms, book! You won’t regret it!

Overall great experience

We had a lovely wedding here in April 2024. We had full control over arrangement and timings. Food was excellent. We were hoping we could have used the gardens more but weather wouldn’t allow. Perfect for a small wedding we had a party of 90 evening guests and it was just enough. The only downside I would say that there could have been another bridal suite as there’s a big turnaround and we couldn’t get into the room until 11 which we found very late and felt rushed. All staff members were excellent and nothing was too much trouble so as an overall experience I would recommend.

We are sat here 6 months on and are still beaming about our Wedding Day at The Plough Inn Eaton which was in May 2024. The venue is a beautiful place with so much character. Everything ran smoothly from the wedding planning and on the day. When you visit the venue there is a very welcoming feel amongst all the staff and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to get married. Very good value for money. Thank you so much! Xx

Everything we could have asked for

We had our perfect wedding day at the plough inn a couple of months ago. It was made so special by the fabulous team, they were responsive to emails from the start and although they do a lot of weddings we weren't made to feel like 'just another wedding' , they were super flexible with our requests and had such a laid back attitude which made us feel reassured that we were in safe hands. We wanted a bespoke BBQ style buffet menu which was no problem for them, the team liaised with the chef and came up with the perfect menu. The food was brilliant and we had so many compliments, I even heard one guest ate 7 sausages! On the day everything ran smoothly and on time, everything was taken care of, the team worked really hard tending to the guests. We booked all the rooms for family to stay the night of the wedding which were all clean and comfortable, breakfast the next day was also perfect and the team packed all the decorations away and left them in an area for us to sort the following morning. The only thing that could be improved for future couples experience is updating/redecorating the bridal suite, but it was nice and had everything needed for a comfortable one night stay.

THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!

The Plough Inn, Congleton you say? The best venue in Cheshire! Simply the best day of our lives in a nutshell! A day whereby most couples find stressful made into the most relaxing day because of the staff, attention to detail and everything organised! I stand by saying 'I'd get married over and over, just to have the experience we had on our wedding day! IT WAS EVERYTHING WE DREAMT OF AND MORE!!!

Best wedding ever

The plough inn was amazing, can’t thank you all enough! The staff were fantastic, kept everything going smoothly, well organised and helpful. They accommodated our guests food allergies and requirements. They were great with the children and towards the end of the night a few of the staff members got (temporary) tattoos off my daughter 😂 they played with the kids- which was great to see. The food was incredible! We plan to come back soon! Overall it was the best day of our lives and we couldn’t have done it anywhere other than the plough inn.
