Why Delamere Manor Is One of Cheshire’s Most Unforgettable Wedding Venues

Delamere Manor, Cheshire

Hidden away in the heart of Cheshire’s countryside, Delamere Manor is more than just a venue—it’s a private estate, a romantic retreat, and a canvas for the wedding of your dreams. Once owned by Take That’s Gary Barlow, this former celebrity home is now one of the North West’s most luxurious and talked-about wedding venues—and for very good reason.

A Grand Yet Intimate Setting

Delamere Manor is nestled within 100 acres of tranquil parkland and overlooks a serene six-acre lake, making it the perfect escape for couples seeking privacy without compromising on style. From the moment you arrive at the iron gates, there’s a real sense that this is somewhere special. The house itself is a beautiful blend of modern sophistication and timeless grandeur, with multiple ceremony locations—both indoors and out—to suit all seasons and styles.

Whether you want to say your vows on the elegant lakeside jetty, beneath the fairy light canopy of the Courtyard, or in one of the venue’s four stunning al fresco locations, Delamere offers flexibility without fuss. For couples who dream of an outdoor ceremony, there are few venues in Cheshire that can match this level of choice or scenery.

The Iconic Courtyard & Lakeside Views

At the heart of the venue lies the spectacular glass-fronted Courtyard—an all-weather space bathed in natural light with uninterrupted views of the grounds. This space transforms effortlessly from a refined setting for your wedding breakfast into a stylish space for speeches, dancing, and more.

Surrounding this are sweeping lawns, ornate terraces, and photo-perfect spots at every turn—from the majestic driveway to the lakeside, ideal for golden-hour portraits.

The Secret Nightclub (Yes, Really)

But what truly sets Delamere Manor apart is its private nightclub. Hidden within the manor’s walls is a state-of-the-art party space that once served as Gary Barlow’s recording studio. Now fully transformed, it’s one of the most exclusive and unique evening reception spaces in the UK. With club lighting, a premium sound system, and a dedicated bar, it's where your guests can dance until midnight in serious style.

Expertly Catered, Seamlessly Run

Catering is handled by Cheeky Chilli Events, award-winning specialists who work closely with you to craft a personalised wedding menu—whether you’re after elegant fine dining, a gourmet BBQ, or a full-blown feast. The on-site team at Delamere are also well known for their professional yet warm service. From day one to the final dance, they’re there to guide, advise, and deliver.

Countless reviews praise the team for going above and beyond. Couples repeatedly mention the coordinators by name—Joy, Trish, Rachael—as well as the ease of communication, thoughtful support, and attention to detail throughout the journey.

Sleeps 16 On Site

For couples looking to stay overnight, Delamere Manor offers six beautifully styled bedrooms for up to 16 people. From pre-wedding pampering in the Beauty Parlour to relaxing in the Honeymoon Suite after the festivities, the overnight experience is just as special as the big day.

Practical, Private, and Packed with Personality

Despite its secluded feel, Delamere Manor is only a short drive from Manchester, Liverpool, and Chester. It’s easily accessible but feels like a world away. With exclusive-use hire, it truly becomes your home for the day—with no interruptions, no strangers, and no compromises.

From the moment you arrive to the final wave goodbye, every detail has been carefully thought out—from the romantic ceremony spots to the fairy-lit Courtyard, and of course, the unforgettable nightclub.

If you’re searching for a wedding venue that combines luxury, flexibility, exclusivity, and heartfelt service, Delamere Manor should absolutely be on your list. With a reputation for hosting truly magical weddings and a team that treats every couple like family, this is the kind of place where unforgettable love stories begin.
