The venue can cater for weddings between 20 and 300 guests in its various event spaces, including the stunning gardens and permanent marquee space. Licensed for civil ceremonies, the property offers outdoor and indoor ceremony options or a selection of lovely local churches if you desire a more traditional wedding.

Incredible venue and amazing people

From the very first meeting, to leaving (with a headache) post-wedding, Soughton Hall have been amazing every step of the way. We had to move our date four times, and they were very accommodating, plus went above and beyond to hold dates provisionally until we could confirm with other suppliers.

On the day itself, our team (Stephen, Naomi, Cheryl and Lily) were there for us every step of the way. I was concerned about timings, plans etc, and they made it so that I didn't even have to think, just enjoy my wedding day. The whole team at Soughton felt like additional guests, and made the day for both of us. I'm so happy we decided on Soughton, and have also recommended to engaged friends. The service, the food, the gorgeous venue - absolutely perfect in every way (and at a very reasonable price).

Wedding venue

We held our wedding just before Christmas, the hall was beautifully decorated and the staff were extremely attentive and helpful.
We would not hesitate to recommend the venue. Small details were taken care of and every request was taken care of.

Soughton Hall - an idyllic venue to marry in

This is THE venue to book for your wedding... whether an indoor cermeony in the stunning upstairs drawing room, a relaxed ceremony at the Coach House or an outdoor celebration in the stunning gardens - . it is AMAZING.

As a professional photographer for over 25 years, this venue is in my top 3... and shall remain so - I cannot recommend highly enough!

Excellent, would recommend to anyone

We had the best experience having our wedding at Soughton Hall. The staff were friendly and approachable and always happy to help. On the lead up to the wedding, they were always an email/phone call away to answer any questions and our wedding coordinator Rachel really looked after us. On the day, the staff couldn’t do enough to make sure everything went smoothly and really made the wedding for us both. The venue is utterly stunning and we do it all again at Soughton in a heartbeat.

Wedding at The Coach House & Overnight Stay at Soughton Hall

Simply a 5 star experience from start to finish. The Soughton team are absolutely brilliant. From initial consultation through to the wedding day they guided us expertly and took away all of the stress and worry planning a wedding brings. On the day itself they were even more brilliant, choreographing the day to our exact details and making sure everything went as planned.

We made full use of the whole estate, with the bridal party staying in the lodge the night before, wedding in the coach house and then staying in the main hall with our friends and family. The food was exquisite, from the wedding breakfast through to the breakfast the morning after.

Every detail of the venue is stunning. Thank you Soughton Hall for helping us create our dream wedding we will never forget.

Fairytale Wedding

We had attended a wedding at Soughton Hall last summer and when we decided to get married with seven weeks notice we thought it was the perfect location for our wedding on 18th November 2017.
The hall is a magnificent setting for a wedding with spectacular grounds and a Hall steeped in history and elegance. The pre-event support was excellent and given the very short notice they staff were superb in their planning. Come the weekend Amy, Lauren and all of staff contributed to an occasion that we will never forget.
The morning started with a bride, six bridesmaids and an entourage of hairdressers and make-up artists all accommodated in a beautiful dressing room. Pampered throughout the morning.
The ceremony was held in an elegant state room, the post ceremony reception was in the stunning main drawing room and library; and the wedding breakfast and evening function were in the stunning marquee, decked in its finery. Everything that we wanted was delivered in style and with exacting attention to every detail – nothing was too much trouble and they really looked after our every need.
The food in our bespoke menu was amazing and loved by all the guests, even the exacting dietary requirement of some of our guests were met by the chef and his team.
The hotel rooms were luxurious, there was an elegant champagne turndown in the bridal suite and the breakfast the next morning was second to none. Everyone stayed at the hall into the Sunday afternoon to experience the hall some more and explore the grounds.
The guests all said that the service from the staff was exemplary and the hospitality shown to our guests reflected wonderfully on the hotel and on us. We would recommend this wedding venue to everyone.

Thanks for your kind words. Like you say me and Louise are still on cloud 9, we had an amazing
day so a massive thanks to you, Daniel and everyone at Soughton hall for helping making it a truly
special day. Everything was just perfect, we couldn't have asked for anything better,
So many of our family and friend said have been saying what a fabulous wedding it was.
Jim is fine as far as we are aware, we know he was kept in hospital for a couple of days.
Jim's brother in law Mark has asked us to thank you for running him to the hospital,
he really appreciated it as we all did.

When we are home from the lakes we will call in to thank you personally for all your efforts.

Kind Regards

Gareth and Louise

Wedding Day 5 star

Hi Annie,

Yes thanks, all back to normal now!

We can honestly say it was fantastic! From planning beforehand and on the day itself. You all ran it so well and smoothly. The venue was perfect, food amazing (everyone raved about the steak pie especially) and the rooms were lovely. All the staff were polite and couldn't have helped more. All in all, we loved it. Can't thank you enough Annie for all your hard work, patience and attention to detail.

Thank you again and to all the staff who made it such a fun weekend for us all.

Jen, Matt and family xx
