Picking your wedding venue can be one of the hardest parts of your wedding planning journey, you have to factor in location, capacity and often somewhere that’s suitable for your guests, as well as yourselves. Not to mention that you’re going to want to opt for a venue that you’ve truly fallen in love with. Ticking all of those boxes can be difficult. This is why many couples are now leaning towards a wedding venue with accommodation onsite, like we have here at Combermere Abbey.

Why? Well, there’s a whole host of reasons.

Below, our wedding planning team are going to tell you a little more about our Cheshire-based wedding venue, and the accommodation options offered to couples who marry here. They’re also going to reveal the perks and benefits of choosing a location and venue that has accommodation for your friends and family too.

Wedding Venue With Accommodation In Cheshire

Combermere Abbey is a unique and stunning wedding venue with accommodation, located in the heart of the countryside on the Cheshire/Shropshire border. We have been hosting wedding celebrations here for many years and of all sizes. From smaller weddings, to large celebrations.

Perhaps one of our most attractive offerings, is that everything you could ever need for your special day is right here on the estate.

Our brides spend the night prior to their wedding in our bridal preparation cottage, Stone Lodge.

The estate’s Crossley car will then escort the bride to her wedding ceremony, which is held in the Glasshouse or fruit tree maze. From there, the Pavilion is just a short walk away, where most wedding parties tend to have their wedding breakfast and evening celebrations. Then, the North Wing of the abbey is transformed into the bridal suite for the newlyweds.

Scenic backdrops encompass the abbey, from the six acres of walled gardens, mere and the woodlands. All wedding photography is completed on site. Then, the icing on the cake? We have 9 self-catering holiday cottages which can sleep up to 49 of your friends and family just yards from the event.

This inclusive offering is why so many choose Combermere for their wedding day.
