North West Wedding Venues…Oakfield Manor

This week we take a look at Oakfield Manor

When you say Chester Zoo you think of a great day out, perfect for the children and you can’t deny it you love it too. But, you wouldn’t normally think of Chester Zoo as a wedding venue would you?

Well, enter Oakfield Manor!

Nestled in the heart of Chester Zoo, Oakfield Manor is a beautiful Victorian Mansion sitting in approximately 110 acres of award winning grounds.

The Zoo is highly acclaimed and Oakfield Manor perfectly complements the surroundings, keeping hold of many of the unique characteristics and its charming history.

You have the opportunity to hire out all of Oakfield Manor to ensure exclusive use and staff can cater for both large and small weddings.

As you can imagine there will be photographic opportunities like no other- not many people can say that they said “I DO” in a Zoo.

What’s more your daytime guests have free admission to the Zoo- well that’s the day-care sorted! In addition there is ample car parking and many hotels nearby for guests staying overnight.

All in all, there really is plenty of scope at Oakfield Manor to make your special day that little bit more unique.

Did you know?

By selecting Chester Zoo/Oakfield Manor as your wedding venue you are also helping the animals there and also those in other conservation projects!

On top of all that…

The Zoo can offer you something a little different for your evening celebration.

Safari, Cocktail and BBQ

You and your guests will be treated to a private tour of the Zoo seeing many animal enclosures and an animal house of your choice- this is sure to get your evening off to a cracking start.

On return to the manor you will be greeted by Pimms and the lovely smell of a delicious BBQ on the go. A disco can also be included in the package. This will certainly get your guests talking about your wedding for years to come.
