We honestly can't recommend Sparth House highly enough!!! The best day of our lives

The best decision we have ever made.

Choosing Sparth House for our wedding venue was the best decision we have ever made, we can’t recommend the team and their venue highly enough. If you’re currently deciding where to have your wedding, give this a read and good luck with everything!

First and foremost: Emma, Olivia, Katie and Callum are the perfect team to handle your wedding and put your trust and faith in. From start to finish they were delightful to deal with.

Picking a venue

When we first started to look at venues we looked across Lancashire and Cheshire and as you may be, became paralysed by the amount of choice, information to digest and overwhelm of making a decision. Over time we visited many venues, but the majority felt like you were missing something, had to compensate, or they were just far too expensive for what you get.

When we had our appointment and tour of Sparth House, we could imagine the whole day from start to finish without giving up or compensating on a single thing. A fully exclusive and all included venue, with rooms that flow from one part of the day to the next, we could visualise our perfect day. From the bridal party night before suite, down to the ceremony room, to the gorgeous main bar and gardens and then into the wedding breakfast room, the venue has a flow which made the day seamless for us and our guests. Whilst also being blessed by the most perfect spring weather and golden hour in the gardens.

You will visit many venues, but we can honestly say out of all, Sparth made us feel the most special and privileged when we had our first appointment / viewing. Some venues can make you feel like another number or wedding, even tidying up previous weddings or taking calls whilst showing you around. At Sparth, we were never given a hard sell or felt rushed or required to spend more money. It just felt right. We even had a customised welcome sign, prosecco and home made brownies waiting for us on arrival to our appointment. These little touches don’t sound like a lot, but looking back this was the first of many touches and surprises that they made, which showed us we had made the perfect choice.

The run up to the big day

We booked our venue around 18 months before the wedding. From booking until arriving for the big day Katie, Emma and Olivia were organised, calm and supportive in everything we wanted to do and try. What was also refreshing, was how well they know and care about the venue. Sparth House is a family run business and you really feel how much the place means to the them and they almost feel privileged to host your wedding at their place. We received so much advice, help and recommendations and at times they were comfortable to advise against things we suggested, and we respected their honesty and experience. Each selection paid off perfectly. Every local supplier we used were perfect and they brought their own specialities to the big day. (See link to the blog Sparth wrote for us for all local suppliers blow).

The day before

We had a pre-wedding lunch the day before with close friends and family as the bridal party were staying over the night before, so it made sense to get everyone together before we went our separate ways. This couldn’t have gone any better and Sparth gave us the biggest surprise! We had first assumed we would be on the terrace or inside near one of the bars but given the stunning weather they set up a full Al Fresco party in the garden. Two long tables fully dressed for 30 people, it was stunning and we were blown away. We invited the kids as we had a no-kids wedding and it was the perfect way to settle in before the big day with some outdoor games.

The night before

The bridal party and Mum’s stayed on site in the stunning garden apartment, which was a huge unique selling point (one of many!) vs every venue we visited. A full apartment with kitchen, living room and bedrooms meant the bridal party could settle in, have pizza and prosecco and get ready with loads of space, in complete peace before walking straight downstairs into the ceremony room on the big day via a cute secret passageway. We can’t express how much of a positive impact this had on the whole day and night before.

The big day

As many newlyweds will tell you the day goes too fast, and you must take the time to soak it in and enjoy it. We can both honestly say we had the perfect day that went better than we could ever have imagined, it was the happiest day of our lives. It’s only thanks to the team, the venue and everything Sparth did in the run up, which enabled us to relax, switch off and take it all in. There wasn’t a single hiccup. Throughout the whole day Emma and Olivia orchestrated each stage, guest and detail seamlessly. Emma, Olivia and Katie are WonderWomen!

The secret ingredient

From our wedding taster to pre-wedding lunch, to canapes, to wedding breakfast, to evening food and breakfast on our final day, the food was simply exquisite, and I lost count of the number of compliments from our guests on the food. The food really does matter. This is all thanks to Sparth’s secret ingredient Head Chef Callum, who is an absolute legend and pleasure to deal with. Every course was fresh, original and we were never short on portion sizes!

The extra touches

From our first appointment to leaving on the day, there were so many touches where Sparth went above and beyond. The Al Fresco set up for our pre-wedding lunch blew us away; our welcome for our appointment was head and shoulders above every other venue; how they dressed the wedding breakfast and ceremony room was perfection and they used the leftovers to dress up the rest of the venue without us asking; before going to bed well after midnight, Callum stayed up and made us our own personalised pizza; due to a bit of confusion on our side Sparth arranged a private taster evening for us because of how passionate we were about the food being right; a week after our wedding and our photo previews had come out, Sparth wrote a full blog of the day which was the best way to top up the wedding vibes (and our review is a response to that!) – we were almost in tears reading it back! These are only a selection of the many ways they made our day special.

Saying goodbye

After we packed up and left the venue we had to come back a few days later to collect a few pieces we had forgotten. When we pulled back up, we both felt so sad that we weren’t getting married again. We felt like we were saying goodbye to the special place that gave us the happiest day of our lives.

We cannot recommend Sparth House enough. It really was the happiest day of our lives. If you have made it this far the link to the blog they kindly wrote for us is below:

The most thoughtful team!

I honestly believe the Sparth House team are the best in the business and that booking my wedding with them was the best decision I could have made.

I don’t know about other brides but I found planning a wedding really overwhelming (hence the 6 months it’s taken me to write this review!) and, prior to seeing Sparth House, genuinely didn’t know how I was going to do it. However, I absolutely fell in love with everything about the venue and the team when we went to visit and am so thankful that I booked that first show around. Throughout the whole process, the team took so much off my plate that I don’t know what I would have done without them and I cannot thank them enough for making the day what it was.

From the very beginning when we met Emma, she made me feel so special. She asked what kind of wedding we were looking for and seemed so genuinely excited about helping us design the perfect day for us as a couple, making it clear that no two weddings look the same at Sparth House. She answered every one of my million questions (in the beginning and throughout) in a way that made me feel like she was excited to put my anxious mind at ease and passionate about giving me a gorgeous wedding day that suited me and my husband. Every panic I had about forgetting something was immediately alleviated whenever I spoke to the team who so very clearly had thought of, experienced and perfectly prepared for every eventuality. They are absolute experts at what they do and what they do is give you the exact day that you want - but better. Even down to deliberately talking to my bridesmaids away from me so I couldn’t be stressed about the time on my actual wedding day (my request) or carving out time for me and my new husband to catch moments alone throughout the day, everything they do is so obviously honed through years of experience and tailored to exactly what you would like on your day. I could list so many times where I was in awe of how they perfected moments and adapted when needed but this review would never end if I listed them all. They are such a thoughtful team of genuinely lovely people.

We had guests travel from far and wide and all of them had nothing but gorgeous words about our venue choice. The service is impeccable, the food is exquisite and the grounds themselves are stunning. All of our vendors’ faces genuinely lit up when we told them our venue because they love to work with the Sparth House team and I think that speaks volumes about the way they treat people and how slick their operations are.

I had heard horror stories about wedding venues and the hidden costs but I can honestly say I experienced nothing of the sort. From the moment we set foot in the venue on the first day to now (almost 6 months after our wedding - we still got a Christmas card!), I felt nothing but genuine passion from the team that they want to curate gorgeous weddings. I never once felt that they were trying to squeeze money out of us and still, to this day, I’m baffled that it was such good value for the incredible day we had. The package listed is absolutely enough for your wedding and the extras are just that, extras; they’re not requirements or things you would assume should be included (although do yourself a favour and get the canapés because I honestly might go through wedding stress all over again just for those pork bon bons). Even the next morning after our wedding, Olivia called me over to say gorgeous things about our wedding videos and rave to me about the way my husband looks at me. Right down to the last minute with them, they were still making me feel like the most special person in the room and echoing that passion for weddings and marriage they showed all along.

I also absolutely adored that everything was in one place; I got to stay the night before for a beautiful night in with my girls, get ready in the morning in the same place, get married right downstairs and have the reception right next to that. So many of our guests also got to stay over so they really do take so much stress out of planning and make your day as easy as they can.

From an incredibly anxious and stressed bride, I cannot thank Sparth House enough for keeping me sane. I always felt like I was in the safest, most competent hands and I truly believe that as long as I had something to wear and some guests to turn up, I could have gotten away with doing nothing else for my wedding because the team had everything else in hand to give me a perfect day. They never once made me feel difficult for my many emails or my many questions and, instead, made me feel as though that fuelled them further to prove that my wedding would be amazing (it was, they were right!!!).

I am so incredibly grateful to this gorgeous venue and its team. Whatever wedding you’re envisaging, I promise you that they will take that vision and perfect it. There is no one better out there and I’m so excited for all of the other couples who get to experience the passion and thoughtfulness that Sparth House put into all of their weddings.

A perfect venue - the best choice we could’ve made!

Where to start with this - what a weekend. We just wanted to write you a little thank you for all your effort for our wedding on 7th December 2024 - we had the most perfect day and that’s thanks in no small part to the Sparth House team for helping us to organise such a great event.

Emma, you gave us the warmest welcome at Sparth House for the Wednesday open evening back in June, and we have felt so confident leaving this in your safe hands from the outset, especially doing this in such a tight turnaround (6 months to the day pretty much!). Everything was clearly explained to us from day one and since then no question was left unanswered - you were always so approachable, welcoming and happy to help which has made the whole planning process so much easier. Both of us felt completely calm right up to the big day and that is mainly because we knew if we had forgotten anything, you would be a safety net running along behind us to remind us of it all - every little detail was covered so thank you so much for bringing our special day to life!

Megan, you couldn’t do enough for us on the Friday night before the wedding, in the garden apartment for the meal with my (Hayley’s) family. You were so welcoming and we all felt so well looked after - you went above and beyond to make my last night as a ‘miss’ really special, so thank you so much (and hopefully you had some good birthday celebrations after working our wedding!)

The food was a huge priority for us as I’m sure was very clear from day one. We loved the taster evening and were so impressed by the range of choices (as well as accommodating our special request of homemade fudge!) On the Friday in the garden apartment, the pizza, salads and bruschettas were such a treat (as well as the gorgeous brownies and cookies) - it really made it a memorable evening. On the day, the gorgeous continental breakfast set us all up perfectly for the day. Our guests were so impressed by the canapés and the wedding breakfast food (lamb shank) - it’s all anybody was talking about. The cheese table, which can only be described as Pinterest-worthy, went down a storm. As bride and groom, we hadn’t had chance to go and indulge which we were both gutted about - however a lovely touch was returning to the bridal suite after the reception to find a beautifully decorated pizza box filled with cheeses, crackers, fruit and wedding cake - we were both delighted! The Greek buffet for the evening reception was fantastic, so massive thank you to the chefs for creating such delicious food - it really made the day.

Thanks to Olivia for helping the day to run so smoothly and supervising the delicious breakfast and check-out process the morning after for the guests that stayed over. Nothing was too much trouble so thank you for your patience!

Overall, it was an incredible experience and we can’t thank you enough. There is so much more that we could mention. It was such a special day and there were so many personal touches by the Sparth House team that just made it even more perfect - we will remember it forever.

Lots of love
Hayley and Jake x

Perfect Wedding Venue

We recently got married at Sparth House at the end of August and had the most perfect day thanks to Emma, Katie, Olivia and the rest of the staff there - we honestly can't thank them enough.

We booked our wedding 8 months before the big day and had just popped to one of the open evenings for a nosy round - it was the first venue we had been to look at but as soon as we walked through the door, we knew it was the one and decided to pencil in a date that evening.

The whole process of booking and planning our wedding went so smoothly and was made completely stress free. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and professional throughout. Emma was our wedding planner and despite the fact that she must plan a lot of different weddings, she always made us feel like our day was so important to her. We thought it was brilliant that we could Whatsapp any questions over and Emma would be so speedy with her responses. It really felt like everyone at Sparth House genuinely wanted us to have the best day. We loved the fact that it is a family run/owned business and there was a real care to how they look after the wedding couples, customers and guests.

On the day, everything went to plan and we had an amazing time. It felt really well organised and the staff kept the day running really smoothly. The canapes, wedding breakfast and evening food were all fantastic. I have quite a number of food intolerances and Sparth House were incredibly accommodating with this - they had the chef look over my dietary requirements and we had plenty of discussions over how the menu could be tweaked and what food could be prepared specifically for me to ensure I still had plenty to eat.

We had several comments from our guests about how lovely Sparth House was, how professional and friendly the staff were and how nothing was too much trouble, as well as how good the food was.

Thank you to everyone at Sparth House that made our wedding day so special - I wish we could do it all again!

Everything about this place is AMAZING

Well I had my day 10th August 2024, special shout out to Emma (particularly Emma), Katie, Olivia and Meghan!! You guys rock! In fact all of the people at Sparth House do!
From the first show around, which is immense, to the day itself I cannot say anything but good things, no question is stupid, and they are super quick to respond.
If you are sitting on the fence, get an appointment booked!!! These guys know what they are doing!
So you are always invited to check in with them, they did a little party for future bride and grooms which is ace, because I booked this place with my heart, not my head, and didn't have time to go back on the wedding and wine Wednesday's (I think thats what they are called) and I fell in love all over again!
The taster meal was immense!!!!

The night before you get the garden apartment and OMG its amazing, the food is stunning - yes they feed you, and there is ample space for all you bridesmaids to get ready! The hot Lips phone is there for any questions or requests you may have. They add little personal touches, that make it feel so special!
Both My MUA and Hair Stylist said it looks stunning from the outside, its beyond impressive both in and out! The breakfast is also stunning!

Emma is lovely, and one of the nicest people you could wish to help make your day perfect!! I commented at one point, OMG its like hearding cats, her response was dont worry I will sort it!

There are no words. I cannot express how amazing this venue is!

I honestly don’t know where to start. Sparth House will always have a piece of our hearts!

On walking through the front door it was instantly welcoming, the house is stunning and has been beautifully decorated in keeping with the history of the building yet has a luxury feel to it. It felt like it fitted us as a couple perfectly and had everything we wanted for our day including a gorgeous outdoor space for the children to run wild and guests to relax in.

The garden apartment is an extra special treat, it truly kicked off the celebrations for myself and my bridal party. We were treated like royalty and didn’t want for anything while there. We had a sneaky view of the bride from the day before waiting to walk down the aisle which made it really exciting and on the morning of the wedding we could see the groomsmen and guests arriving, enjoying our sax player which we could hear from the ceremony room below. Our daughters loved it so much especially having their own room with bunk beds!

Emma was our wedding coordinator and she is nothing short of incredible. Nothing was too much to ask and she organised our day with such care and attention to detail. She looked after us so well on the day, if there was anything we needed Emma had already done it!

In true Sparth house fashion though it was a family affair, Olivia was there to reapply my lipstick and practice my walk before going down the aisle, Katie was on hand in the evening keeping some of our rowdy guests in check! An not forgetting Callum who made us the most delicious canapés, wedding breakfast and evening BBQ food which our guests absolutely raved about!

The whole team of staff on the day were extremely professional, coordinated, dedicated and friendly. Lots of our guests praised the staff as they felt they were treated extremely well throughout the day.

The bedrooms are beautiful, each decorated with a different vibe to give guests a different experience. The bridal suite is just stunning, I wish we could have spent more time in there. It was the perfect place to have a breather after the wedding breakfast.

The following morning was such a lovely touch having breakfast with all of our guests that stayed over. It was a great ending to a fabulous weekend, talking about all of the details and memories made from our day. We got to really soak up the love and appreciation from our nearest and dearest before saying our goodbyes to each guest.

We had the most magical time at Sparth House, after 16 years of dreaming of our day, it absolutely surpassed our expectations. We can’t thank you all enough for putting your hearts into making our day so special. We will be forever grateful for the memories xx

The best wedding venue we could have ever wished for!

I don’t think I could write enough about how amazing Sparth House is! From my co-ordinator Katie, plus Emma and Olivia, to all the team, they really made our day magical. We booked two years in advance and any questions I had during that time Katie or one of the team were always on hand to help! There was never a silly question (and trust me I had a few!) They even helped me keep organised with the wedding toolkit, which really helped me keep my head focused and organised!

The day itself was perfect, everyone in our bridal party and even guests commented on how organised and on it the team were. All our guest commented on how beautiful Sparth House is as well. From the garden apartment the night before to the most amazing bridal suite, I just honestly cannot explain how amazing the venue was. Me and my bridal party had the best night before, with perfect sleepover vibes, the most amazing brownies and pizza! Then in the morning a fab breakfast spread to make sure we had some sustenance for getting down the aisle. Then there’s all the little extra touches you can add into the day like the ring for fizz wall and the gin bar! All our guests have commented on how amazing the venue was.

They always made sure we were in the right place at the right time throughout the day, and nothing was ever too much. The venue alone is stunning and each room has its own style and uniqueness, but the team and everyone who runs the show behind the scenes is really what makes it extra special. You don’t feel like another couple coming through the door, it really felt like ours for the day and we could not have asked for a more perfect venue and wedding day!

Sparth House - a truly special wedding venue

Sparth House is a truly special place for a wedding. From the moment we came for a viewing, we knew it was 'the one'.

The team have wedding planning down to a fine art, and are flexible and responsive. Every detail was carefully considered, which makes a huge difference on the day. There was a high level of engagement between ourselves and the venue from day one and we loved the invitations to the venue for tasting days, viewings and launch parties. It all helped us to plan our wedding and get excited about the big day!

We were delighted with every element of our wedding day - the beautiful interior, the amazing food, the impeccable service, delicious drinks, and wonderful, helpful staff.

Thank you to Katie, Emma, Callum and Olivia for creating a magical wedding day. It really was the best day of our lives.

We cannot recommend this venue enough. Sparth House genuinely deserves a five star rating.

Truly the most incredible venue

We had our wedding at Sparth House on 28 July 2023 and all we can say is wow! From the first time seeing the venue we knew it’d be where we would get married, it is simply a magical place.

The garden apartment that is there to stay in the night before and get ready in the morning of is simply stunning, it was so lovely to be in one place and get ready and have a peek out the windows to see guests arriving.

The venue itself is just simply beautiful, so many photo opportunities and all our guests commented on how amazing it is. They have recently renovated the bar area and bridal suite as well as some guests rooms to make the place even better than it already was.

There are no words for how amazing the staff are! Our wedding planner Katie was simply incredible and there for me any time when I had questions, always reassuring me and making sure the whole day ran smoothly, not one single thing went wrong! All of the staff will make you feel like royalty, the service is impeccable! They are so professional, polite and caring, always checking everything was okay and if we needed anything.

The food was simply delicious, from the taster day we knew it was going to be good but they really did do amazing on the day and all our guests loved it to.

If I could get married again I would have the exact same wedding at Sparth House and I am so glad we picked this amazing venue for our special day, they truly made it the best day ever.
