Nestled within 27 acres of beautiful Cheshire woodland, Craxton Wood Hotel & Spa is a secluded location, featuring a range of function suites and manicured gardens which provide the perfect setting for a dream wedding.

The Craxton suite hosts up to 250 guests and features full length windows, as well as doors opening on to the gardens, while the hotel’s chefs create sumptuous dishes using the freshest seasonal ingredients. The picturesque gardens also provide the perfect location for outdoor ceremonies and marquee weddings and offer a beautiful backdrop for photographs.

Emma Benson, Weddings Marketing Manager for Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, said: “Our specialist wedding coordinators can support couples on every step of their wedding journey from venue hire, catering and entertainment to personal touches. With years of experience, they have delivered on many traditional or more unique requests for couples, but it all begins with finding the venue to tie the knot.

“Our open days are the ideal opportunity to ask those burning questions to the experts and truly visualise the set-up from day to night as the perfect backdrop of your wedding.”

Advance booking is recommended for the open days.

The specialist wedding team from Craxton Wood Hotel & Spa will also be attending Red Events Wedding Fair on the 12th February from 12-3pm and County Brides Wedding Fayre on the 2nd April from 12-3pm.
