Lucy and the team at Capesthorne truly delivered an amazing day for us, but not only on the day, in the two years leading up and after they have been not only incredibly professional, but also delightful to work with. Their attention to detail, from the maintenance of the grounds, the finer details…

Everything about Capesthorne Hall is fantastic. Brilliant value for such a stunning venue - it’s beautiful in its own right so we found we didn’t spend as much on flowers / decor as we may have done elsewhere. Everyone connected to the venue is brilliant; the catering was incredible - our guests…

We had our wedding here this year. The venue is beautiful, and the on site accommodation is very modern and very reasonably priced.

Capesthorne Hall was an amazing place for our wedding. We visited many wedding venues, but Capesthorne was the only one that made feel like you weren't on a conveyer belt. We had our hearts set on an outdoor ceremony and the Capesthorne team helped this become a reality. We were given many options…
