SAY, "I DO"
Estates and gardens don't come much prettier than those of Abbeywood estate. Nestled in the Delamere Countryside, this 45-acre estate has been home to Rowlinson Family since 1987.
Today the venue is an enchanting location for your Cheshire wedding, with equally spectacular spaces indoors and out. It is a venue that cannot fail to impress and the perfect place to say "I do."
Getting married in Cheshire but need help figuring out where to start planning? We have created our comprehensive guide, including 5 Tips for this fantastic city.
SERENE TRANQUILLITY
Abbeywood estate and gardens offer nine rooms and suites and two larger self-contained apartments, one of which can sleep 10! Perfect for starting your morning with those closest and dearest, surrounded by the beautiful Cheshire woodland.
Most rooms take full advantage of Main Lawn, spectacular Gardens and the Utkinton Hills views.
INDOOR CEREMONY
As an exclusive use venue, the Abbeywood estate offers five, yes, you read that right, five licenced rooms for your ceremony.
ABBEY WOOD ESTATE
Each room is available to you, along with the outside gardens and terrace, to use as you desire. As a result, the venue can accommodate the most intimate Wedding to the most lavish!
THE GARDEN CAFÉ
THE GLASSHOUSE
The glass house is a stunning wedding or reception space. Artistic, elegant, fashionable, formal, intimate, seasonal, whatever your style, the Glasshouse is the perfect canvas to paint your wedding vision. This generous open space, filled with light and character, is suitable for over 190 guests during your ceremony or wedding breakfast. Unlike most glasshouses, this space also features central heating and intelligent blinds, making it suitable all year round. Linked via a glass walkway to the Orangery and Garden Cafe, the rooms combine to create the perfect indoor wedding space.
The garden cafe is an intimate space, perfectly combining a contemporary yet rustic feel. With a capacity of up to 85 guests for your ceremony and 80 for your wedding breakfast, it is the perfect space for a smaller wedding. The room also serves as a great evening party space, with a bar area.
THE BARN
The barn offers space for up to 120 wedding guests and is perfect if you desire a rustic country wedding.
THE ORANGERY
THE MAIN HOUSE
Adjoining the garden cafe is the Orangery, the perfect all-weather setting for welcome drinks and canapes. With spectacular views over the terrace and Exotic Garden, the Orangery makes a beautiful location for any wedding ceremony of up to 70 guests.
The main house provides even further flexibility on how you might wish to celebrate your Wedding at Abbeywood. The majestic splendour of the main house offers a stunning backdrop and accommodates up to 70 guests for your ceremony.
OUTDOOR CEREMONY
It is impossible to visit Abbeywood and not contemplate the idea of an outdoor ceremony. In addition to the 5 rooms licensed indoors, the Gazebo offers the perfect picturesque setting to say "I DO" outside.
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHS
You are really spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing where to take your photos, one of the many reasons I love this venue! The gardens offer a simply stunning backdrop to your day.
RECEPTION & EVENING
Once the ceremony is over, the incredible team at Abbeywood are on hand to ensure the rest of your day goes without a hitch.
Enjoy canapés and cocktails on the stunning Café terrace before enjoying an unforgettable wedding breakfast in one of the many available rooms.
As the day slips into the evening, welcome your guests with an evening Hog Roast or Barbecues. Then, enjoy the late evening sun before moving indoors for the first dance and party!
ACCOMMODATION
The Abbeywood estate boasts nine en-suite bedrooms, suites and apartments, plus a self-contained apartment that sleeps ten. Each bedroom, suit and apartment is beautifully decorated and furnished. Meaning up to 30 guests can stay and enjoy the luxury on offer.
THE MORNING AFTER
Start your married life like a fairy tale. Wake up, enjoy and get ready in your room before making your way to enjoy breakfast with your overnight guest.
Then maybe explore some of the most stunning woodlands on the 2km wildlife walk, incorporating 27 acres of mature and newly-planted forest.
