The whole team are incredibly thoughtful and will go above and beyond always offering their advice and expertise to help guide you.

Hosting your wedding at Dorfold Hall will blow you and all of your guests away.

I planned a wedding at Dorfold Hall last summer for a couple who wished to marry in Cheshire in a venue with a beautiful outdoor setting. I am a wedding planner and it was clear to me that Dorfold would tick all of my couple's boxes. A gorgeous historic property with newly built modern, contemporary event spaces, spectacular gardens and stunning views. It was the first venue I visited with my couple and they booked!
From then on the planning journey - working with the event team at Dorfold - was a dream. They could not have been more helpful, professional and lovely to work with.
Now, I just can't wait to go back there to plan another wedding.

I’ve had the pleasure of attending a number of weddings at Dorfold. The warmth and hospitality of the team are second to none. They can’t do enough for you, and treat every wedding with such personal and individual attention to detail.
The grounds are just breathtaking, with so many areas to explore. One of the personal highlights is the gorgeous purpose designed ‘dressing room’ for the bridal party. It’s absolutely perfect for getting the bridal party ready, whilst over looking the grounds.
I cannot recommend enough

Dorfold Hall is the most fabulous venue with the most incredible team, We could not have asked for a better setting for our wedding day, every part of Dorforld is sublime and gives you the feels as soon as you drive down the beautifully grand, long driveway. Apart from the obvious beauty of the venue, they have perfectly combined the classic with the modern which really made it our first choice. The team are what make this venue head and shoulders above the rest though, Candice, Jen and Ceri could not have done more for us leading up to the big day and on the day itself, they made the whole day run effortlessly and all with beaming smiles, nothing was too much trouble and they made our wedding feel like the most special day in the world (although they do a million weddings it was like ours was the only one!). Thank you all so, so much!

Dorfold Hall has a stunning old house juxtaposed against new build reception facilities that are accommodating, flexible and opulent. We were made to feel exceptionally welcome, guided through our planning process and had an absolutely wonderful weekend. Zoe is a fantastic organiser and Ceska who is new to the team also did a fabulous job over the entire weekend.

Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience with Dorfold. Don't get me wrong, the venue itself is stunning which is why we picked it in the first place. It has the potential of being an all-round great venue, having such beautiful buildings and gardens. However, we were let down by the inflexibility, lack of clear information and at times poor communication from the Dorfold staff. For example, there was no wedding the day before ours and when booking the venue, we were told that we would be able to get early access if this was the case. Our wedding was at 2pm and the staff wouldn't let us check-in earlier in order for family to simply drop their overnight bags into the room to avoid having to do this during the wedding, which seemed unfair to us. Not only this, but one of the wedding coordinators had informed my parents that they could get access to the room but then later changed her position shortly before the ceremony was starting. My mum was left waiting outside the room for 15 mins right before the ceremony was due to start, panicking and stressing about what to do. This is not how my mum had envisaged the start to the wedding and I was deeply disappointed when I learnt of this.

We had sadly experienced another incident of miscommunication by the Dorfold staff the day before the wedding. We had been told that a wedding coordinator would meet us at the venue the day before when we were scheduled to drop off various items for the wedding day set-up. However, when we arrived, we were told that the wedding coordinator wasn’t working that day and wasn't available to help us which seemed very odd. We then bumped into her at the venue showing another potential couple around. She was clearly embarrassed that we had seen her however no apology or explanation was offered. This was far from the high-quality service we expected when choosing Dorfold as our venue.

If you are choosing this venue, I would highly recommend you go around the venue and take photos of everything. They took our security deposit for extremely trivial things, with very high prices for replacements. We disputed these but were rudely told that they simply disagreed with our position and didn’t provide evidence for the high-cost replacements. I’m going to leave it here as it makes me upset writing this. To all those getting married, our wedding day was great, don’t worry too much about the small or material things, we still had a great day because all our family and friends made it so special. I just wanted to write this to let potential couples aware of our experience at this venue. Love wins xxx

Incredibly professional, beautiful grounds and site, wonderful staff and a joy to be a part of the day,

We love working with Dorfold, lovely venue, great staff, stunning location...who could ask for more!?

I have photographed the most beautiful weddings at Dorfold Hall, always a joy to work at, warm welcoming staff, an exquisite location, and the utmost professionalism every time. An absolute gem of a wedding venue xxx

Set in the most beautiful rolling Cheshire countryside, Dorfold Hall truly is a dream come true. The attention to detail, the architecture and the whole vibe is loaded with style and refinement, yet relaxed and individual.
They know how to bring a team of suppliers together to provide the best day for the couples who choose Dorfold for their wedding.
A pleasure to work with each time we provide flowers in this dream venue.

I love working with Dorfold - it is a great venue which offers couples a versatile and flexible event space.

The team are great and really easy to work with. I would highly recommend!

Dorfold Hall is like stepping into a dream. Beautiful scenery, architecture and formal gardens run by Candice and Charles and their team. Nothing is ever too much trouble. If I were to get married again Dorfold Hall would where I would do it.

I have DJed at Dorfold on many occasions now and it’s one of my absolute favourites. The staff are fantastic, the set up is top quality and I’ve never had any problems with sound here. It’s been recently refurbished with a perfectly kitted out room to host a top wedding in. It’s absolutely stunning inside and out - an absolute must see if you’re looking for a high quality wedding venue 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Plenty of 22/23 weddings here which I can’t wait to be part of 🙌🏽🙌🏽

From first visiting Dorfold we fell in love with the venue . We were not disappointed.The professional way it was run with the personal touch was faultless. Catherine Skaites’ food was memorable.Her attention to detail was superb. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone working to create such a wonderful occasion. You could completely relax knowing the standard was exemplary at all times. I could not recommend this venue more highly. I did not want the day to end.!
