Description

Starting with the morning of your wedding, Keeper’s Cottage is the ideal spot to get ready and spend time with your loved ones before exchanging your vows. Put the finishing touches to your look before entering the picturesque walled garden, just a few steps away. The characterful Glasshouse is an unforgettable setting for your ceremony. The Glasshouse brings the outside in and features a decorative blossoming tree at its centre, connecting it with the surrounding gardens and woodland. Enveloped by a unique fruit tree maze, you can tie the knot in this wonderful light-filled space with your guests all around you. The maze itself is perfect for an al fresco ceremony too! The Pavilion is situated within its own beautiful garden and offers the perfect space for your wedding reception. This stylish and contemporary space has been reimagined and modernised, creating a stunning setting for romantic wedding celebrations that brings the outside in. It boasts an inviting lounge and bar area, an updated al fresco terrace for relaxing and a large reception area with exquisite mirrors that bathe the room with light and offer reflective views of the surrounding gardens. Combermere Abbey takes pride in the food, drink and service they offer via their in-house catering and event management team. They guarantee the very highest standards throughout every part of your day. Picture canapés and cocktails, a personalised menu of seasonal dishes and tempting wood-fired pizzas cooked before your eyes at the outdoor kitchen! After the festivities have drawn to a close, the North Wing Honeymoon Suite provides a luxurious setting to relax and let the events of the day sink in. With a private entrance, butler service and views over the mere...you might never want to leave! There is plenty of accommodation for your guests too, with space for up to 49 in the picturesque Courtyard Cottages.

A stunning location for a wedding.
Fantastic grounds that are very well kept by the groundsmen. We were there this weekend and I've never been to a better venue for a wedding. There's an orangery where the service took place before we moved outdoors in the glorious sunshine. The fabulous staff served us food and drink whilst we enjoyed the occasion. Later we moved to the main dining area where the food was great. A finer place for a wedding you will not find.

Amazing venue
I can think of no better place to have had my wedding than this venue. I genuinely run out of superlatives to describe this establishment. Amazing, dedicated staff and quality food. Breathtaking grounds, beautiful lakes and fabulous gardens.

Perfect venue
Combermere Abbey was the wedding perfect venue for us as a couple. We were searching for somewhere that felt private and secluded, but was an open space which brought the outside into the ceremony itself. We married outside in the centre of the fruit maze in the brilliant April sunshine, and the backdrop to our wedding was perfect. The staff were extremely attentive, particularly as ours was the first wedding following recent renovations, and this ensured that the day ran extremely smoothly.

Beautiful place
What a beautiful place, we attended a wedding here that was stunning, from the sunroom where the service was conducted to the pavilion where we ate, service was silver service and the people that performed it were fantastic.

The best day of our lives!!
We had our wedding at the stunningly beautiful Combermere Abbey on 18th August 2023! The day was perfect from start to finish! We can’t thank the staff enough, especially Lucinda who was great the whole the way through the planning process and on the day! Combermere Abbey is just a beautiful venue, it was so amazing to say our vows in the gorgeous glasshouse ❤️

You should be very proud of your venue
Wedding gigs can be very stressful due to everybody wanting everything to go smoothly for the Bride and Groom and their guests. Your staff did an absolutely brilliant job in ensuring everyone had a stress free night and they really made everyone there feel valued and their priority. They were very friendly and made us very welcome, but at all times they were extremely professional and brilliant ambassadors for Combermere Abbey. You should be very proud of your venue, but mostly of your staff.

Exactly as I had dreamt
As soon as we walked through into the walled garden at Combermere Abbey, we knew it was where we wanted to hold our wedding. It is simply perfection, the maze, the walled garden, the lake and abbey - just like a fairytale. The run up to our wedding was complicated by Covid (as so many others were) and the team at Combermere went above and beyond to ensure we still had our dream day. I wouldn’t have changed a thing - the sun even came out and shone on us as we said our I do’s. All our guests commented on what a wonderful wedding it was and how fantastic the staff were. Would 100% recommend Combermere Abbey and their amazing team. Wish I could do it all over again! Thank you so much!
