Combermere Abbey was the perfect wedding venue for us. We knew from the moment we walked in, that it was the venue for us. All of our guests were blown away with how beautiful it is. All of our guests went out of their way to say to us how amazing the staff and food were. We would love to say a massive thank you to Carol, she made sure on the day that we had everything we needed and went out of her way to make this happen. We really appreciated this especially as Carol has

Combermere Abbey was outstanding from start to finish, the venue is so gorgeous and the gardens are kept beautifully. They are really good for being quite an all inclusive venue including the photobooth and things like linen, cutlery and decorations in the venue price, which was very competitive in comparison to other venues nearby, and as we planned the wedding fairly quickly (in around 5 months) there were also some discounts off the venue fee and catering packages. The food was absolutely amazing and everyone complimented it. They also had gorgeous cottages on site which was really great for me as I had a lot of family and friends travelling from further away. The North Wing that we got to stay in the night of the wedding was also a real slice of luxury! The team at Combermere were so lovely and friendly, there were lots of meetings leading up to the wedding where they really listened to our requirements and helped us plan our p

We were married at Combermere Abbey in April of this year, and from the minute we first stepped in the venue, we knew that it was everything we wanted for our wedding day. It is a beautiful venue, with a true English country garden feel. A little off the beaten track, but close enough to everything you need to plan a perfect wedding day. The courtyard cottages are absolutely ideal for having guests stay on site - great accommodation, and excellent value considering the quality. Diane, Ashleigh and the rest of the wedding team were absolutely amazing, and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. The accommodation team - both at the cottages and in the North Wing - made sure our guests had everything they needed throughout the stay. The estate team work so hard all year round to keep the gardens looking immaculate. We also have to give a special mention to Sarah and her family, who have put so much time, love and money into the Abbey and the whole estate, to create a true gem of the English countryside. Whether you're

From day 1 the team were so helpful, very prompt in answering queries and seemed as though nothing was too much trouble.

We got married on Sunday 6th August and booked all the facilities including the glasshouse, pavilion, stone lodge, the north wing and the cottages for two nights. From start to finish everything was coordinated and organised to perfection. We had a great welcome with breakfast hampers and wine for ourselves and all the guests, the staff were on hand the entire day to guide us from our arrival to the day and then upon leaving. The guests absolutely loved having partying to the early hours of the morning at the cottages both before and after the wedding whilst taking lovely bike rides through the grounds before the ceremony began. The venue speaks for itself absolutely gorgeous! Stunning! We can

We got married at Combermere on the 26/08/17 and we honestly couldn't recommend the venue and all the lovely staff enough. From all the help with preparations, to the support throughout the day it was fantastic and we had the most amazing day. Special mentions to Bev, Rachel, Ashleigh and of course Stefan who went out of their way to make sure everything was stress free and perfect! Emily X
