Marquee venues in Manchester/Cheshire/Peak District area

Hi,

We are getting married at a place called Hargate Hall which is in Wormhill, just outside of Buxton in the Peak District. They have a perminant marquee which is gorgeous and the hall is awesome if you want to do a DIY wedding. They basically give you the run of the place for the whole weekend. They also do a brilliant weekday package which is what we are doing.

Hope this gives you something to look at x

To be honest i would look for a venue if you are on a budget...a marquee can add up to a lot more once you factor in all the extras (tables, chairs, linen, toilets etc)

depending on your budget and the style of venue you want...we are getting married at tabley house near knutsford and then having the reception at the tytherington club near macclesfield...you can put a marquee in the grounds of tabley if you want but as i say it isn't cheap with all the extras....the tytherington club is one of the most reasonable venues we found...their package is £2500 for 60 people for a welcome drink, 3 course meal, glass of wine, toast drink and evening food...each extra day guest is charged at £34 a head and every evening guest at £4 a head so if you are just having 100 to the whole day you are looking at £3860 and that doesnt go up depending on whether you have a saturday/summer wedding either which a lot of venues do...it depends where you want to actually have the ceremony too... x

We were originally planning on having our wedding at The Hall at Marthall. Basically a village hall which has had lottery funding and is a complete blank canvas.

When adding up all the extras we decided to keep looking and got a really good deal at Wincham Hall.

Once you factor in decorating the venue, catering etc it doesn't always work out cheaper to do it all yourself!

Just a few ideas

Thanks everyone, it's certainly given me a few places to start

Didn't think it would be so difficult and it doesn't help having rather a large family. Think we'll be looking at around 100 for the day, although we were thinking of a less formal do (not really a sit down meal, more of a late afternoon hog-roast buffet) so I guess that would save on costs.

Looking forward to going to visit some venues soon! ?

I am doing a venue dressing at woodford community centre in Woodford Stockport next week. The bride tells me the community centre provide the marquee, I can post pics etc after the wedding if you like ?

Hi, that would be great thanks! I drove past there the the other day actually. Didn't consider village halls or community centres but maybe will start to consider them!

Thanks
