From the moment we arrived at Colshaw Hall, we knew it was “the one.” We’d visited other venues and left feeling like a number, but at Colshaw Hall we were greeted with genuine warmth, huge smiles, and a feeling of being truly seen. There was no pressure, no sales pitch — just kindness, excitement, and a sense that we’d stepped straight into a fairytale.
The venue is flawless. The grounds are beautifully manicured, the Ceremony Hall is breathtaking with its iconic window at the end of the aisle, and the Pavilion and Peel Suite create the perfect flow from intimate drinks reception to unforgettable party. The preparation spaces for both bride and groom are stylish, comfortable, and fully equipped — and if you forget anything, the Colshaw “fairy godmothers” will sort it instantly.
We were lucky enough to be shown around by the owner, David Irlam, whose love for his family home shines through every story and photograph. Colshaw Hall isn’t just a venue; it’s a place filled with heart, history, and genuine care.
What truly sets Colshaw Hall apart is the team:
Victoria, the Events Manager, is incredibly organised, thoughtful, and compassionate. She captured every detail perfectly and supported me through a pre‑wedding wobble with such kindness that I instantly felt calmer.
Alison is pure sunshine. She remembered my name, my date, and even how stressed I’d been. On the day, she was my anchor — warm, joyful, intuitive, and always one step ahead.
Sarah is the steady heartbeat of the day. Calm, composed, and quietly powerful, she kept everything running smoothly with gentle reassurance. As someone who is late for everything, I needed her more than she’ll ever know.
Together, Alison and Sarah are the Wedding Coordinator Dream Team — the perfect blend of warmth, positivity, structure, and calm.
Ian Brown, the Toastmaster, is extraordinary. He brings ceremony, humour, and heart to every moment. He commands a room effortlessly while keeping guests engaged, attentive, and fully immersed in the magic.
And then there are the unsung heroes: Janice, Keith, Henry, Kenneth, Jules, Angelo, and Jade. The housekeeping and grounds team kept every space immaculate and looked after us with such grace and kindness, even when my lively family were in full party mode. Their quiet professionalism made the whole day feel seamless.
Colshaw Hall is more expensive than some venues, but it is worth every single penny. The experience, the care, the people, the magic — nothing compares.
To any future bride: if you want to feel like royalty on your wedding day, and you want your guests to be cared for with genuine warmth and professionalism, choose Colshaw Hall.
