About this venue

Last update: October 2026

Your own private countryside estate, all to yourselves

Tucked away in the idyllic village of Pickmere, Cheshire, Fernside is a beautiful former family home set in 11 acres of private countryside, with manicured gardens, a private lake with a fountain, and sweeping views across open fields. It has always been a place where people come together, laugh and make memories, and there's nothing we love more than seeing couples celebrate their love here.

When you marry at Fernside, the whole venue is yours. No sharing, no rushing, just you, your favourite people and a day that feels relaxed, personal and completely you.

Five ceremony spaces

We love to get you and your guests outside as much as possible to enjoy our countryside setting. Say "I do" on our lakeside decking for an intimate ceremony, or in our secret garden for a larger celebration. The decking is also a firm favourite for welcome drinks and cocktail hour by the water. Inside, two beautiful ceremony spaces in the house are perfect for up to 50 guests, and marquee weddings can hold their ceremony inside the marquee itself. Whatever the British weather decides, you're covered.

Intimate or grand, your way

Celebrate in the house and grounds with up to 50 day and 80 evening guests. For larger weddings, our luxury sailcloth marquee welcomes up to 130 day and 180 evening guests, complete with festoon lighting, Italian crossback chairs, a dance floor and luxury trailer toilets. You're free to choose your own suppliers, from flowers and décor to your photographer, and our six approved caterers offer everything from fine dining to relaxed BBQs, Asian specialities and evening food trucks. Pets are welcome too!

Make a weekend of it

With 8 luxury en-suite bedrooms sleeping up to 21, including our brand-new bridal suite, your nearest and dearest can stay with you. Unwind in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit or curl up in the cinema room, and let the celebrations carry on long after the last dance.

With you every step of the way

From your first viewing to your last dance, we will be by your side, and our wedding coordinators will support you for six weeks before your big day and throughout it. We're known for our personal, relaxed approach, and we treat every wedding as if it were our own.

Come and wander the gardens, picture your day here, and we have a feeling you'll fall in love with Fernside just like we have. 💍

The best celebration in the best place!

Fernside House is an absolute masterpiece of a wedding venue, and to be honest, we are still completely blown away by everything. From the moment we first stepped onto the property, we knew it was spectacular, but what truly sets them apart is the incredible team behind it.

A Spectacular Setting

The venue itself is nothing short of breathtaking. Every single corner of Fernside House is stunning, providing a gorgeous backdrop that left our guests absolutely speechless. It manages to be both grand and deeply intimate all at once.

Unmatched Flexibility & Personal Care

What made our experience truly unforgettable was how flexible and personal the team was. They didn't just host our wedding; they poured their hearts into making it uniquely ours.
• Tailored to us: They accommodated our ideas without hesitation, making us feel like the only couple in the world.
• Stress-free coordination: Their attentive, warm, and professional approach took away every ounce of wedding stress.
• Impeccable hospitality: Every detail was handled with a personal touch that you simply cannot get at standard commercial venues.
If you want a venue that is visually spectacular and a team that treats you like family, look no further. We cannot thank Fernside House enough for giving us the best day of our lives!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
