Can we have a civil ceremony at Abbeywood?

Yes you can! Alcumlow Wedding Barn  is licensed for civil ceremonies and have lots of different room options, from inside the Glasshouse, the Garden Cafe, The Orangery, The Barn and the Gazebo if you're opting for an outdoor ceremony. Your Ceremony are the Cheshire East Registrars covering this area. 

​

Otherwise there are some lovely local churches, St Peters, and Oakmere Methodist Church.

What if it rains at our Abbeywood wedding?

Believe it or not, this image is from a wedding day where it POURED down! There are lots of lovely indoor spaces - that dreamy glasshouse for example - and we'll make it outside where we can. We waited until after dinner on Mandy & Dan's day.

I also use a very handy weather app which enables me to keep an eye on the weather during the day too and I'm very used to utilising gaps in the rain so you can relax!  

Where should we have our group photos?

It really just  depends what you'd like your backdrop to be, the possibilities are endless at Abbeywood! The gardens to the back of the main house work well if you're planning on having your drinks reception out there, so all of your guests are close by. I also love the leading lines down to the garden to the orangery for groups! 

Is Abbeywood an exclusive use venue?

Abbeywood Estate is an exclusive use venue, which means you and your guests can enjoy absolutely everything it has to offer, and mix up where you hold your ceremony, drinks reception and dinner, depending on what suits you. Sooo many options!
