Styal Lodge wedding venue visit in Cheshire

Styal Lodge wed­ding venue visit in Cheshire — a fab­u­lous venue with a unique per­spec­tive… and look at that sky!

One of this week’s high­lights has to be my Thurs­day morn­ing — a glo­ri­ous sunny day and a trip to a Cheshire wed­ding venue with an inspir­ing story and a unique approach.

I will be writ­ing a cou­ple of blog posts inspired by my visit to Styal Lodge very soon, but just for now I thought I’d share these gor­geous pho­tos by Man­ches­ter wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Jonny Draper, who joined us for the morn­ing.  Read more…

Hello! And No. 1: The Venue

Posted on February 15, 2011 by Claire

Well hello! I’ll get the gushy stuff out of the way first.

Well this is a bit over­whelm­ing, isn’t it? Lit­tle old me? Blog­ging on Eng­lish Wed­ding? I am hon­oured, flat­tered and just a lit­tle bit excited, that I get to share every­thing about my forth­com­ing wed­ding and mar­riage with all of you lovely read­ers! Thank you all for your votes and your kind sup­port. I hope I can pass on what I have learnt by immers­ing myself in wed­ding talk and wed­ding blogs and wed­ding deci­sions — over the past 2o months I have spent engaged to Richard — about love, mar­riage, wed­dings and life!  Read more…

Pho­tog­ra­pher thoughts on Rook­ery Hall

Adam from ARJ Pho­tog­ra­phy says, “I was impressed by the grandeur of Rook­ery Hall (not untyp­i­cal of a Cheshire wed­ding venue!), and the real mix­ture of old and new. They hold cer­e­monies in the older hall and then you go over for your wed­ding recep­tion in the more mod­ern wing.  Read more…

Peck­for­ton Cas­tle is one of my favourite wed­ding venues from all of those I’ve seen in my years in the wed­ding indus­try. For a clas­sic Eng­lish wed­ding with unique char­ac­ter and thrilling his­tory, Peck­for­ton is perfect.

Sand­hole Oak Barn is a very indi­vid­ual wed­ding venue near Con­gle­ton. Over­look­ing a pri­vate lake and with all the best bits of one of those sur­prise pud­dings (out­side looks nice; inside is amaz­ing!), it’s a really spe­cial place and should def­i­nitely be on your list if you’re look­ing at Cheshire wed­ding venues.
