About
Setting

Dorfold is a romantic country estate on the edge of Nantwich, just outside Chester in Cheshire. Surrounded by parkland, ancient trees, and meticulously maintained gardens, the estate provides an idyllic backdrop for a wedding. At its heart is a newly built, award-winning barn, created specifically with unforgettable celebrations in mind.

Ceremony

The purpose-built barn accommodates up to 160 guests for wedding ceremonies. Its clean, spacious design is filled with light, thanks to dramatic windows that frame sweeping views of the gardens and estate grounds. This flexible setting allows each couple to shape the space in a way that feels personal.

Reception

The barn’s contemporary architecture sits harmoniously beside the grand Jacobean house, offering a modern space in timeless surroundings. Alongside the barn, the gardens are available for drinks receptions or photographs, while the Hall itself can be used for getting ready.

Planning and Support

Dorfold is supported by Cripps & Co, a family-run business with over 30 years’ experience in creating weddings. Couples benefit from the guidance of a dedicated wedding coordinator and a hands-on team, who work flexibly and collaboratively to bring every detail together. With the elegance of Dorfold and the experience of Cripps & Co, the venue is designed to deliver unforgettable celebrations.

Food & Drink

In-house chefs prepare bold, generous feasts over open flames, using a giant BBQ and rotisserie. Simple, quality ingredients are at the heart of every dish, cooked and served with flair in the signature Cripps & Co style.
