Capesthorne Hall
About
Open all year round for weddings, Capesthorne Hall is a truly beautiful setting for your fairy tale day. With elegant interiors and glorious gardens, the Cheshire venue is ideal for both your ceremony and wedding reception.
The venue is licensed to hold civil ceremonies, marriages and partnerships in the Hall, Lakeside Wing and Outdoors.
The Hall and Lakeside Wing can be booked for the full venue experience and we offer full, exclusive use of both for your celebrations.
Alternatively, for a more contemporary wedding, the Lakeside Wing can be booked in isolation, with stunning views over the picturesque lake and formal gardens.

Luxury on-site accommodation is available for up to twenty-four guests and is set within the formal and walled gardens adjacent to the lake.
Hall Weddings
In the Hall, civil ceremonies can be held for up to 120 guests and wedding breakfasts for up to 80 guests in one room or 150 guests split between two rooms.
Following your romantic ceremony, champagne reception and wedding breakfast, your evening reception takes place in the Lakeside Wing.
Wedding couples at Capesthorne will enjoy a fantastic variety of services which are included as standard in the exclusive hire of the Hall. Floral arrangements, banqueting chairs and tables are included in the Hall, and the terrace overlooking the West Lawn is available for your post-ceremony drinks. The bride and bridesmaids will also have access to a private Dressing Room, allowing them to add the finishing touches to their bridal look.
In addition, the first floor exhibition is open to you and your guests to provide an insight into the history of the Hall.

Weddings can also take place in the Lakeside Wing on an exclusive basis for civil ceremonies with dining for up to 160 guests and capacity for 180 guests for an evening reception.
