Dorfold is a romantic country estate and venue on the edge of the market town of Nantwich, outside Chester, Cheshire. Set within beautiful parkland, ancient trees, and manicured gardens, the estate is home to a newly built, award-winning wedding barn designed specifically for unforgettable celebrations.

Transformed by Cripps & Co, a family-run business with 30 years of experience creating exceptional weddings, the venue offers the best of both worlds: modern design with timeless surroundings. The purpose-built barn sits just beside the grand Jacobean house and has been carefully designed to complement its historic setting while offering a light-filled, contemporary space for weddings.

The barn holds up to 160 guests for ceremonies and dining. A clean, spacious interior with dramatic windows offers sweeping views of the gardens and estate grounds, while its style allows each couple to make the space their own. Couples can also have access to the Hall itself to get ready, as well as use of the gardens for drinks receptions or photos.

In true Cripps & Co fashion, our in-house chefs cook over open flames, preparing bold, generous feasts on a giant BBQ and rotisserie. We focus on simple, quality ingredients, cooked and served with flair.

You'll be supported throughout by a dedicated wedding coordinator and a hands-on team, helping bring your day together with ease. We're flexible, collaborative, and here to help – whether you have a clear vision or are starting from scratch.

With the elegance of Dorfold and the ease of Cripps & Co, this is a venue designed to deliver unforgettable weddings.
