  A wonderful day with wonderful service

  Aesthetically, we (the Booth's) knew immediately that the venue captured what we envisioned for our wedding. However, what we didn't expect was how fantastic the experience would be thanks to the efforts of the staff. At every stage in the process, we felt informed, supported and most of all - accommodated. Nothing was too much trouble and we could not have imaged the day going as smoothly as it did without the attentiveness of the team. They collaborated with us from start to finish to ensure that the venue was beautifully prepared and met the needs of ourselves and our guests.
  
  All-in-all, whilst the venue itself is stunning in its own right, support of all those involved ensured that all aspects of our wedding was every bit as magical as we dreamed.
  
  Thank you - from both Damien & Danielle - for an unforgettable day.

  Beautiful Venue!

  From the moment I enquired about my wedding day right up to the day itself, the volunteers and wedding enquiries team at Elizabeth Gaskell's house have been so warm and friendly. All of my emails were responded to either the same day or next working day, and if the team didn't know something immediately they would always check and contact me back as soon as possible. Their patience and knowledge really made it easy and took away a lot of my stress whilst planning.
  
  As for the venue itself, the interior is even more beautiful than the exterior, and if you are looking for an intimate wedding with only a handful of guests then I do not think you can do better than here.

  Just perfect from start to finish! So happy we chose EGH!

  Lucy and the team reassured us from the get go. Highly professional, communicative and organised, with a breadth of experience and advice. What really sets this venue apart from the others we considered is the warmth and genuine engagement with ours ideas and vision for our special day. It truly is a special house with a special vibe, with quality people you can have confidence in.

  Phenomenal!

  Our day with Elizabeth Gaskell’s house was spectacular. The venue itself is so beautiful, and reasonably priced. The staff were incredibly helpful, not just on our big day, but throughout the whole planning process.
  All of our guests had a wonderful experience exploring the house and speaking to the volunteers. Our older guests and wee ones, found the place very accessible.
  
  We could not have asked for more!

  Incredible!

  We had the most amazing experience with EGH. The house is absolutely beautiful and the perfect backdrop for your special day. The staff are incredible and were attentive, responsive throughout the whole journey. Everything was absolutely amazing on the day and we can’t thank them enough. If you’re thinking of having your wedding here, do it! Magical, absolutely magical.

  Our wedding

  We had a civil partnership at Elizabeth Gaskells House. We had always wanted to have our ceremony here as we preferred a unique ,intimate wedding, and we were lucky enough to have a July date offered to us when we contacted them.. Ellie the wedding coordinator and Chris the volunteer were so supportive on the day and nothing was too much trouble.
  In the run up to the wedding we met with Ellie many times and discussed our day the music, the decorations and timings etc.
  On the day we had use of the house including the bedroom of Elizabeth Gaskell, so we could get ready and have some quiet space before the ceremony.
  The house is gorgeous and as it was a nice sunny day we had fizz in the garden afterwards where our guests could mingle and have fabulous photos taken.
  We could not have asked for more on our special day.
  The house will always hold a special place for us and we plan to return often to support this wonderful museum.
  Thank you everyone for making our day perfect.
  If you are thinking of using EGH for your ceremony you will not be disappointed.

  Perfect for our winter wedding!

  We had a small winter wedding and Elizabeth Gaskell House was the perfect choice! With such beautiful decor there was very little for us to do on the day. The whole day was stress free; the staff were amazing; and, with such a diverse backdrop our photographer was able to capture some stunning photos without worrying about the weather! I would recommend Elizabeth Gaskell House to anyone looking for a unique wedding venue in the North West

  Fantastic Intimate venue

  We had a wonderful wedding day at this historic and intimate venue. The staff were amazing in the lead up to the big day and helped us organise all the details to make it a really special occasion. The venue really suited the personal wedding that we wanted with our close family. The drawing room for the ceremony is a lovely space with big windows and a piano, and the rest of the house has beautiful spaces to spend time and have pictures taken. The garden is great to enjoy drinks and have more wedding pictures. We would highly recommend using EGH as a wedding venue. We can't thank Lucy and the rest of the team enough for making it a fantastic day.

  Gorgeous bijou venue

  As others have said this is a real hidden gem. Very central location but the house and gardens feel private and serene. Perfect for an intimate wedding in a setting that feels like a family home. The servants’ hall looked amazing decorated for the meal and all the guests felt relaxed and at ease as the venue set such an informal tone. Stunning backdrop for photos also.

  Friendly, Professional, and Adaptable - A Wonderful Wedding Venue

  My partner and I got married in Elizabeth Gaskell's House in June 2024 and I can honestly say that the staff made the day even more magical and memorable than it would already have been. The team are quick to respond to emails, are incredibly friendly in person, and did everything they could do lighten the load of wedding planning, including directly liaising with our suppliers. The venue itself is gorgeous and made wonderful memories.
