Your Ceremony
The Stables is a dedicated purpose-built ceremony space that can seat between 40-180 guests. This is a perfect location to tie the knot for both grand or more intimate ceremonies. The Stables ceremony room has beautiful exposed oak beams, leaded windows and stunning limestone floors. It looks just as beautiful with or without decoration; this really is the perfect setting for your dream ceremony.
Imagine taking your vows outside in a classically landscaped garden. This luxury Cheshire wedding venue also has stunning gardens perfect just for this. Licensed for civil ceremonies, both the Magnolia Garden and the Walled Garden are gorgeous and provide a stunning backdrop for your ideal wedding.
At both Colshaw Hall and sister venue, Merrydale Manor, the bride and groom walk down the aisle after the ceremony. Firstly they are led out of the Stables ceremony room by the very talented and well-organised Master of Ceremonies. Meanwhile, this also allows the wedding guests to exit the room and form two lines outside the doors. The bride and groom then get to greet their guests, who are excited to shower them with confetti.
Your wedding reception and wedding breakfast
After the ceremony and confetti at the Stables, and after all your guests have congratulated the newly married couple; the bride and groom followed by their guests then can make their way over to the Pavilion area. The perfect space for your drinks reception. This then leads out onto the walled gardens for you and your guests to enjoy.
Your wedding breakfast is then served in the incredible Peel suite. Offering your guests a memorable wedding meal in the most luxurious surroundings. And of course, such a luxurious venue is fully air-conditioned to create the perfect setting for your special day. Light floods in through the magnificent windows throughout the day which line either side of the wedding suite. Giving you stunning views of the surrounding grounds. In addition, you also get a fantastic toastmaster included.
Your evening – the party of a lifetime
By the time the wedding meal is over, the Peel suite is completely transformed, and now your wedding evening celebrations take place. This is an ideal setting and is the time to party the night away with your loved one and guests as the sun sets over the beautiful Cheshire grounds.
