Hilltop Country House is a beautiful wedding venue located in the heart of the Cheshire countryside in Prestbury, England. Nothing is standard at this exclusive and elegant country estate. The house is brimming with historic charm, while the staff are experienced and helpful. Surrounded by pastoral landscapes of whispering woods and gently rolling fields, the venue offers a spectacular and secluded setting for your romantic day.

Facilities and Capacity

Hilltop Country House is a stunning 17th-century manor house that is dripping with ivy. This fresh, verdant backdrop will frame your outdoor ceremony, which can be held on the terrace (seats 130 guests) or top lawn (seats 150 guests). Here, you will be surrounded by the manicured yet subtly wild landscaping that characterises the classic English garden.

If you're planning a smaller, more intimate gathering, the garden room, which can hold up to 66 people, is a great choice.

The most magical wedding venue!

Where to begin! Choosing Hilltop county house for our wedding was absolutely the best decision we made. It's been a week since Oliver and I got married in the beautiful gardens surrounded by all our friends and family xx and since that day we can't stop talking about the special people we met in the Hilltop team. They made us feel completely at home from the first time we met Clare back in November 2023, as soon as we stepped into your cosy home we new this was the place for us. Since then we've had the pleasure of meeting so many members of the team; Cameron, who expertly whipped up our cocktails ( still dreaming about the Vanilla chat white Russian ) and made certain our guest were well watered; Emil who was the perfect MC, ensuring we couldn't stop dancing all the way through the night; Iain and Naomi prepared the most delicious food, all of our guests were raving about their meals and the poutine! Olivia for helping so much on the day, it was wonderful having you around to make sure everything was going to plan and giving some much needed words of calm and encouragement, you were and absolute delight! And finally Leah, from the moment we met you we were laughing and that definitely set the tone! Thank you for going to every effort to make our day exactly how we wanted it! I think we had 2 email chains going with 24 messages in each! The day before and the day of you were around to help and let us know where we needed to be! Ollie and I have said many times how you feel more like a friend to us and we wish we could plan another wedding just to speak to you! Thank you so much, we hope we can find many excuses to return to Hilltop in the future

Wedding July 5th

Quite simply the most exceptional wedding venue you could ever find. A venue where all the staff will go out of their way to ensure you have the wedding you have ever dreamed of. A beautiful venue, stunning gardens and the joy of having it all to yourselves. Everything from food, drink, bar, music, service was the best. We can't thank you all enough for creating a perfect day. We have had so many guests saying it is the best wedding they have ever been to and we certainly agree. Thank you.

Mr & Mrs Di Stefano 27.06.2025 The venue was outstanding for our wedding, specifically Beth who was amazing throughout, supporting with everything.

From the moment we viewed Hilltop Country House we knew it would be where we were going to get married. The house, gardens, atmosphere and staff were all perfect. We had the most amazing day and all our guests said how much they enjoyed it. The food, DJ, coordination of the day, everything went so smoothly and we couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you so much for making our day so special!

Amazing! Thank you.


From the start of our venue search we couldn’t find a venue with everything we wanted but finally after finding Hilltop it ticked every box! The flow of the buildings for drinks reception, to wedding breakfast and then the boogie room makes the day run so smoothly, there’s no change around in rooms and guests just flow from one to the next. From the second we walked in Claire made me feel right at home and was so welcoming with tea and biscuits… the team really do seem like one big family!

Every corner of the venue is picturesque and perfectly thought out in every way! The pictures we got from our wedding day were stunning, and this was all down to the gorgeous backdrop of Hilltop!

Beth was amazing in helping make our dreams come true, she listened to each and every request and made it happen, she is fantastic in her role at hilltop and we truly appreciated all of her hard work!

Cam really knows his stuff, he was able to advise us on what wines would work well with the food we had chosen and was so honest when helping us pick!

Every guest commented on the gorgeous venue, the cherry blossom and wisteria in the stunning grounds! The music by Emil in the one of a kind boogie room which everyone had an amazing night dancing the night away too. Guests would not stop talking about the food, the soup was a real winner and has been the topic of several conversations since our wedding in April! The waiting on staff were all impeccable!

We could not have wished for a better day, our wedding was run so smoothly and personalised each step of the way. It really was the best day of our lives! If we could do it all again we would choose Hilltop in a heartbeat!

Thank you all so much, we will be forever grateful!

The best day

From the very first visit, we knew this venue was something special. The setting is absolutely magical — the perfect mix of elegance, warmth, and natural beauty. Every corner felt thoughtfully designed and full of charm, and it created the most stunning backdrop for our wedding day.

What truly sets this venue apart, though, are the people. Clare, the owner, is an absolute gem. Her passion for what she does shines through in every detail. She made us feel so cared for and supported throughout the entire process. Her calm presence and genuine warmth were exactly what we needed — we couldn’t have asked for a better person to help guide us through such a special time. Leah helped us plan every detail meticulously and was available for every request! Olivia worked so hard helping us set up every little detail and was by our side on the day for anything we needed.

And Cam, the bar manager. Not only did he create an incredible bar experience for our guests, but his energy and professionalism made the night even more fun. Plus he’s just a top guy. From custom cocktails to seamless service, he truly elevated the entire reception.

The day itself was flawless. The ceremony space was breathtaking, the reception area was everything we wanted and the staff made sure everything ran like clockwork. Our guests are still raving about the atmosphere, the drinks, the food — everything. We feel so lucky to have celebrated our day in such a beautiful place, surrounded by such incredible people.

Five stars isn’t enough. Thank you, Clare, Leah, Olivia, Cam and the team, for making our day absolutely perfect.

Mr and Mrs Hughes Wedding

To everyone at The Hilltop.
Where do we start? Thank you.
Honestly, Friday 28th March 2025 was the best day of our lives.
From planning to our wedding day, it’s been a dream to work with you all. We could not fault the venue, the staff, the food, the grounds - everything was perfect.
All our guests have complimented the wedding, and said it was one of the best weddings they’d been too, and it’s thanks to you all and the great team and atmosphere you have created.
We (including Miley), can’t wait to come back and stay with you.
Lots of love
The Hughes xx

A spectacularly spooky Halloween wedding

Claire and the team couldn’t do enough for our Halloween wedding. We had such a fabulous day with our friends and family. The food was standout - well worthy of the Michelin star - particularly the red pepper soup as a starter, steak pie as main followed by apple crumble with lashings of custard (bride’s request) for dessert were perfect. Our Halloween decor looked perfect with the Hilltop backdrop. Claire was always on hand to answer questions and Cameron the bar manager accommodated our drinks requests. A special mention to Joe the photographer- what a lovely man. He took the time to capture special family moments for us. We know we will keep in touch with Hilltop. Thank you x

Couldn’t have wished for a better wedding! We fell in love with Hilltop the first moment we visited and the team looked after us from start to finish.

Our Dream Wedding

We can't thank Clare and her team enough, they were kind, thoughtful, and determined to deliver our dream day. Our friends and family had a fantastic time and we have been inundated with compliments on the beauty of the venue, the delicious food, but perhaps most of all how kind, thoughtful and friendly all the staff were. Everything exceeded expectations and the whole day went off without a hitch. The space is perfect for a mixed group, with some of our friends exploring the gardens, others hitting the dance floor in the boogie room and we loved watching the kids play with the garden games outside the marquee during the wedding breakfast. Clare is exceptional and is a key reason our wedding day was so perfect and I'm sure she will look after any couple who book Hilltop Country House. She and her team look out for opportunities to make each wedding unique, from decoration, to a bespoke cocktail, to having a nook dedicated to our pictures. Our only regret is not being able to do it again.

Hilltop Country House - A beautiful venue anytime of the year!

We celebrated our wedding at Hilltop Country House back in April and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue. From the very beginning, all the way through to our magical day, everyone was incredibly accommodating and nothing was ever too much trouble.

From the moment we arrived on the day of our first viewing, we were enchanted by the beautiful surroundings.
The setting is truly picturesque, with stunning gardens and serene countryside views that provided a breathtaking backdrop for our special day. The attention to detail in both the indoor and outdoor spaces is impeccable, making every corner of the venue a potential spot for memorable photos.
The staff at Hilltop Country House were phenomenal. They went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly and that our needs were met. Upon my arrival the morning of the wedding, I was surprised at how instantly relaxed I felt and knew that everything would come together. Their dedication and professionalism were evident from the planning stages right through to the end of our wedding day. No request was too big or small; they were always there with a smile, ready to assist.
The food was a massive highlight with many of our guests commenting on the quality of the Michelin star food and how delicious and beautifully presented the dishes were. Even having our very own his and her cocktails created especially for our day was a truly special touch. The catering team did an outstanding job, ensuring everyone was well-fed and happy.
Overall, Hilltop Country House provided an unforgettable experience, combining elegance, charm, and exceptional service. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a magical place to celebrate their wedding. Thank you, Hilltop Country House, for making our day so special!

All our guests were extremely impressed with Hilltop House and had a fantastic day. Bedrooms were great, especially the bridal suite!
