The Holford Estate, a secluded countryside gem, provides an exclusive experience in its private estate. A moated garden surrounds the venue, offering tranquil beauty and timeless elegance. Couples can walk across a centuries-old stone bridge leading to the stunning Brick Barn and terrace marquee, both ideal for celebrations amidst scenic views and open skies.
The Holford Estate is licensed for civil ceremonies, allowing couples to exchange vows in a beautifully tailored setting that reflects their unique story. Each ceremony at the estate is a deeply personal affair designed to celebrate individuality.
Celebrations at The Holford Estate flow seamlessly from day to night. Guests can savour the outdoor terrace for an alfresco gathering before transitioning into the grand Brick Barn for an unforgettable evening celebration. The barn’s lofty ambience provides the perfect setting for a joyful party, where laughter and festivity fill the air. An outdoor breakout area offers a peaceful escape where guests can relax and enjoy the surrounding beauty.
For guests extending their stay, Holford Mill offers a house with five king-size bedrooms, allowing for comfortable overnight accommodation. Here, guests are treated to views of the Mill pond and waterfall, a tranquil retreat amongst the estate’s landscape.
The Holford Estate provides a “Farm to Fork”; seasonal dining experience, offering a range of carefully prepared dishes. The team expertly pairs these selections with drinks, creating a refined dining experience that delights guests.
The estate is conveniently located just 3 miles from Knutsford in Cheshire. Accessible by the M6 and M56 motorways, it also sits only 8 miles from Manchester Airport, offering straightforward travel for guests arriving by road or air.
WOW – what a beautiful venue.
A beautiful sized space without taking away from the intimacy you want for a wedding. Not forgetting the gardens which are well kept and lovely for pictures and for guests to walk around on the day. Hannah who is the main events organiser is so wonderful. Could not have done it without her – she knows the venue so well, and what works well. Everyone commented how seamless the day was and we, as a couple, felt totally relaxed. I feel like she understands her individual couples really well. All the staff, including those on the day, were brilliant and helpful. The caterer they use were also great and people commented it was the best wedding food they have had.
It really was perfect from start to finish and we would absolutely recommend it 100%.
We can’t thank you enough for all the support and time you gave us for our wedding! It was a truly perfect wedding from start to finish.
You are all amazing!

Thank you so much for all of your hard work. We’ve had an amazing weekend thanks to your efforts – it didn’t go unnoticed!
From start to finish, we’ve been so pleased that we booked The Holford Estate, from meeting Frances and her famous Holford greyhound, our first planning meeting and up until leaving The Mill House on Sunday – it’s been incredible! Thank you to the whole team, but especially you, for everything you’ve done for us.
We feel like we may have been frustrating customers, having no idea what we wanted or needed to do, so thank you for your advice and patience throughout. It made the whole wedding planning process completely stress-free for us! We can’t wait to see Natasha’s photos because the venue looked incredible – all of the suppliers you recommended were amazing, and we can see why you work with them regularly.

From the very start of this wedding journey we knew that Anna and Dom had found somewhere very special, your team and your
beautiful venue did not disappoint. The kindness and care shown throughout our Holford experience made such a difference and meant so much after some challenging years.
We are both very appreciative, quite simply thank you!

We just wanted to drop a note to say the biggest thank you for absolutely everything. You are the rock star of the wedding industry and we are so very grateful for you and for Holford.
Genuinely the best wedding venue ever, even if we are slightly bias. Everything was incredible We just haven’t stopped raving about it and talking about it for 48 hours now. You made the whole thing feel so easy and aided us to really enjoy ourselves and not worry about a thing. All the staff were fab as well so please send our thanks.
We are very much going to miss you and Holford, it’s so special!
The venue itself is without a doubt the most beautiful wedding barn in Cheshire, you are never made to feel like you’re just a number of a long line of couples waiting to get married, you feel as though your really valued. The cost of the wedding gives you 3 days at the venue to set up the day before and calmly break everything down the day after. I could not recommend this venue enough. From the incredible grounds, gardens, impeccable barn, clear marquee with foliage in the ceiling, fairy lights everywhere (all included), beautiful horses in their stables opposite the barn.
Thank you so much for a wonderful wedding; you were all amazing, even with the last-minute changes; you were all so calm and very welcoming to everyone.
It truly was a fantastic day, everything went so well, the venue looked absolutely beautiful what a magical setting.

We would like to send you all a big thank you for the most amazing night celebrating my 50th birthday! Each and everyone of you made it extra special. We’ve had so many lovely comments about you all!
The venue is just beautiful – it’s so much better in person and live on the day! Other things that attracted us to the place was that there were no hidden costs. We didn’t have to pay for loads of extras that we felt were standard such as lighting, dressing the tables, crockery etc. We paid for the hire of napkins because I wanted a particular colour but this was through the catering company. Everyone always tells me how amazing the wedding was and that it was their favourite venue.
Our wedding day in March was the dream day! The venue looked beautiful and the team allowed us to make it personal to us. T.H.E staff handled every aspect of our wedding day and we had absolutely nothing to worry about! We were smiling all day! Hannah is on top of everything, she’s a bloody star!! We can’t thank everyone at Holford enough.
From day one, Hannah and Jacky have been so welcoming and helpful, nothing seemed too much trouble. Anything we needed or any queries we had, they were there. With all the changes due to Covid-19, they were so supportive and everything was sorted. On they day, Connie, Sarah & Joe were incredible. Do yourselves a favour and book T.H.E, for a stress free perfect wedding! With the most amazing team and venue, you won’t regret it!
Thank you for working so hard at Ollie and Penny’s wedding and making it such a fabulous success. We all had such a lovely time we had wedding blues for days after; we would love to do it all over again!
Your team were on it, everything ran so smoothly, and nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend the Holford Estate to anyone !!

What can we say, from the bottom of our hearts thank you all so much for helping us pull off our perfect wedding.
We fell in love with the estate, the barn and the mill when we first laid eyes on it. It was the only venue we looked at. When we met you all for the first time we knew we were in such caring, knowledgeable and kind hands, it’s taken so much stress out of the whole planning and made our wedding such an enjoyable experience from start to finish.
Needless to say, our guests were stunned at how beautiful and perfect everything was, but be sure that we’ll spread the word about how much of a special and magical place The Holford Estate is and urge all of our friends and family to celebrate there, whatever the occasion.
Thank you, Frances and Hannah, again from us and all of your lovely staff, who treated us impeccably and made us all (especially Axel) feel so very special.

We had such a truly amazing day at the Holford Estate on Saturday. The venue is stunning and I cannot imagine my daughters wedding being held anywhere else. Everybody was so helpful.
