“Dorfold provided the most beautiful backdrop to our wedding! It was the most spectacular day and made our dreams of a fairy tale wedding a reality. They couldn’t have done more for us and we will remember Dorfold Hall not only as our fabulous venue, but for the gorgeous team of people who made us feel at home from the first time we drove down that breath-taking driveway.”

A glorious tree-lined avenue, and vast lawns with secluded nooks and dells. The lake shimmering with the reflection of remarkable Jacobean architecture…
Dorfold Hall is an intimate sanctuary, where every view, every structure, is imbued with history and refinement, allowing an incredible journey of discovery for you and your guests on your wedding day.
Your Wedding Ceremony
Our private estate is licensed to hold civil ceremonies, affording you the luxury of your entire wedding day to seamlessly unfold in a series of changing scenes at one location. Choose from the characterful and versatile Coach House or the lawns with their never-ending views of the Cheshire countryside beyond. For those seeking something more traditional, there are several beautiful churches just a stone’s throw away, offering yet another possibility for your nuptials.
Your Reception
Champagne toasts amongst scented borders, decadent feasting in contemporary style, the evening breeze and twinkling lights in the courtyard…
With so many characterful and atmospheric spaces to discover and delight your guests, the Estate is yours to use as you wish.
Your Wedding Breakfast
Bespoke in every way, your wedding breakfast inside L’Écurie is all about expressing your personal taste and style in every detail. And when it comes to the food and wine – something we’re really passionate about – our carefully chosen catering and bar partners are dedicated to designing a feast for the senses, tailor-made for you.
“Dorfold Hall is an oasis of everything you want from a wedding: fabulous fun atmosphere, beautiful grounds, a historic, magnificent building with exceptional accommodation, and an unrelenting focus from staff to ensure only the very best will do.”
Exclusively yours
Escape to another world with your loved ones, where time has no meaning and irreplaceable memories are made. For a magical few days Dorfold Hall is your very own country hideaway.
True to our ethos of offering you maximum flexibility, there are many options when it comes to hiring Dorfold for your wedding, and we don’t do set packages. As an example, exclusive use of L’Écurie and the grounds can be yours for one, two, or three days, with pricing starting from £7,300 (inclusive VAT, venue hire only).
You may dream of hosting an intimate dinner in the Hall the night before, or perhaps you’d like to stretch out the festivities by inviting everyone back after the wedding for a long lunch. We love creating unique celebrations, so please do get in touch and we can create a bespoke proposal for you.
“We wanted somewhere we could be creative and design a wedding that would reflect our personalities, and we got everything we ever dreamed of and more at Dorfold. Our intimate ceremony in the coach house, watching our family and friends enjoy the beautiful gardens, the fire pits – these are all things we will never forget. So many guests have told us it’s the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and we feel privileged to have got married at such a magical venue.”
