Weddings at Grange Barn in Cheshire
Grange Barn Weddings is located in the picturesque countryside on the Cheshire-Shropshire border and has quickly become one of the region’s most sought after barn wedding venues.
Combining the charm of a traditional farm setting with thoughtful modern touches, it offers couples a unique backdrop for their special day.
For those dreaming of a more informal yet elegant countryside wedding, Grange Barn encapsulates everything that makes barn weddings in Cheshire so appealing.
A working family farm in Marbury
One of the defining features of Grange Barn is its setting. Located in the quaint village of Marbury, the venue sits on a working family farm surrounded by rolling fields and expansive views across the Cheshire plains.
The barn itself is a beautifully restored agricultural building that retains its original character while incorporating modern comforts. Exposed beams, natural light, and rustic textures define the aesthetic, creating a warm and inviting space.
Inside, features such as wagon wheel chandeliers, wooden pallet bars, and carefully curated decor contribute to the venue’s distinctive charm. This blend of old and new allows couples to enjoy a traditional barn feel without sacrificing convenience or style.
Exclusive access for 3 days for each wedding
One of the most unique things about Grange Barn is its approach to exclusivity. Unlike some venues that host multiple events simultaneously, Grange Barn typically offers one wedding per week.
This means couples have exclusive access to the venue for a three day period, often spanning an entire weekend from Friday to Sunday.
This extended hire allows time for setup, decoration, rehearsal, and relaxation, removing much of the stress associated with tighter wedding schedules. It also eliminates the ‘wedding conveyor belt’ feeling, giving couples the opportunity to celebrate with friends and family over several days rather than just a few hours over one day.
Indoor or outdoor ceremonies at Grange Barn
Ceremony options at Grange Barn are both versatile and visually striking. Couples can choose to exchange vows indoors in a dedicated ceremony room, which features large windows framing views of the surrounding countryside. Alternatively, in favourable weather, outdoor ceremonies can take place on the venue’s decking area, offering a breathtaking natural backdrop.
This flexibility ensures that weddings can be adapted to suit the season, weather conditions, and personal preferences of the couple.
Following the ceremony, the outdoor decking continues to play a central role in the celebrations. It serves as an ideal space for drinks receptions, allowing guests to mingle while enjoying panoramic views.
Additional features, such as covered outdoor areas and cosy seating spaces, provide comfort and atmosphere regardless of the weather.
Wedding breakfast and reception
The reception takes place in the main barn, where couples can host their wedding breakfast and evening party. The open-plan layout allows for creative freedom in terms of seating arrangements, decor, and entertainment.
From long banquet-style tables to dance floors and live music setups, the space can be transformed to reflect each couple’s vision. The barn’s natural lighting during the day transitions beautifully into a warm, ambient glow in the evening, creating a magical atmosphere for celebrations.
Another standout aspect of Grange Barn weddings is the level of support provided. As a family-run venue, it prides itself on offering a personal and attentive service.
Couples often work closely with the owners and an experienced wedding coordinator, ensuring that every detail is carefully planned and executed. This hands-on approach contributes to a relaxed planning process and helps bring each couple’s ideas to life.
Accommodation and catering options at Grange Barn
Accommodation is also thoughtfully considered. The venue includes an on-site suite for the morning preparations, often referred to as “The Loft,” which is available for the night before and the night of the wedding.
This allows couples to prepare on-site and enjoy their celebrations without worrying about travel at the end of the evening. Additional local accommodation options are available nearby for guests and are plentiful.
Catering at Grange Barn is handled through a selection of approved partners, offering a variety of menu styles to suit different tastes and budgets.
From formal sit-down meals to more relaxed dining options, couples can choose an approach that aligns with their vision for the day. The flexibility in catering, combined with a well-managed bar service, ensures a high-quality dining experience for guests.

Enjoy my work?
I’m a huge believer that you shouldn’t have to endure hours of your wedding day stood around for posed photos. That’s why I recommend allowing around 15 minutes in your schedule for a few family & friend group photos and another 10 or 15 minutes for some portraits of just the two of you.
I want you to spend the overwhelming majority of your day enjoying the company of those closest to you.
Please do get in touch to check my availability for your date, I look forward to hearing about your wedding plans.
Lots of love
