About Crabwall Manor as a wedding venue

Crabwall Manor is a country-house wedding venue in Cheshire. Like many of Cheshire’s historic halls, it combines period architecture with grounds and gardens that work well for outdoor photography across the seasons. The hall is licensed for civil ceremonies and runs weddings throughout the year.

Photographing weddings at Crabwall Manor

Country-house venues like Crabwall Manor give a wedding photographer the contrast that makes images sing — high-ceilinged interiors with large windows for natural light during the day, and gardens or parkland for portraits and group shots when the weather plays along. I work documentary-style, blending into the background so guests forget the camera, and the staff at venues like this are typically well practised at running a day smoothly. If the weather turns, there’s almost always somewhere indoors that’s equally photogenic.

What I notice when I shoot here

Crabwall Manor Hotel and Spa is situated in historic Chester and provides the ideal setting for the perfect wedding. Dating back to the 11th Century, their 48 bedroom hotel has both the elegance and versatility to make your special day truly memorable. Their beautifully appointed function suites can hold wedding breakfast celebrations for up to 85 guests and up to 150 evening guests.

Enjoy beautiful surroundings which excellent photo opportunities and exceptional service from the very beginning of your special day through to breakfast the following morning.
