Low cost reception venues in Manchester/Cheshire?

I got married at the Belle Époque restaurant in Knutsford, but that's unlikely to be considered a 'budget' option. The expense was pushed up by having to pay East Cheshire registrar costs, which are among the highest in the country. Might be worth remembering before you consider venues that would fall under this district. I gather West Cheshire is much cheaper.

Hi, we have similar numbers to you and we are getting married at Windy Harbour Farm Hotel in Glossop, Derbyshire. Might be a bit far for you but we've found them to be very helpful and accommodating to our requests.

They are charging us £200 for room hire for the wedding service and then we just pay per head for food and alcohol so they are very reasonably priced for small weddings compared to some of the other venues we looked at.

I can practically see this place from my house!

When's the wedding date again? I'm happy to fill in for any last minute no-shows

Hello,

We are having our reception at The Windmill Inn, Tabley: https://www.thewindmillattabley.co.uk/

Our wedding breakfast is in the conservatory (45 people) and we have the whole pub all day and night (evening up t0 100 all together) our choices have come in around £3000 (we are getting married at church).

Good luck with your search.

Oh, my daughter is getting married at Belle Époque!

The Marriott at Worsley do an evening package that was quite reasonable but without knowing your budget it's difficult to say.

How "low" do you mean when you say "low cost"? Cheshire unfortunately has a stupid price tag attached to it, so everything tends to be more expensive... If you're willing to go more into Manchester there might be more options! But, it all depends on what you want

It's a gorgeous place, lovely views. We're getting married 7th Sept, 4 weeks today!

The budget is difficult, we don't really have one set. It's a case of we'll spend but we need to but the more it costs, the longer we'll have to wait longer so that we can save for it! We're hoping to spend 3-4k for everything but plan on an afternoon wedding and evening reception, not two logs of food! I found The Court House in Worsley which seemed fairly nice and very reasonable although that's only from a few pictures but they don't let you bring your own alcohol, which we'd rather do for during the food, toast etc and then bar for the rest.

If you want to bring your own alcohol you're probably better looking at village halls, barns etc. None of the hotel or country house wedding venues I looked at would let you bring your own drink. Even the barns we looked at made you use their suppliers for catering, so I think you might have a hard time unless you go down the marquee route.

That said, I was only looking in a small area of Cheshire (Wilmslow area) so maybe other parts of Cheshire have more variety??
