Mere Court Hotel

Mere Court Hotel is a Grade II listed Edwardian country house on Warrington Road at Mere, near Knutsford in Cheshire. It stands in seven acres of landscaped gardens with a private ornamental lake, and it offers weddings for between 10 and 200 guests.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Mere Court is a strong fit for couples who want a flexible country house with a dedicated wedding team. Weddings are tailored to each couple, from very small ceremonies to larger celebrations, so you set the pace. Four different ceremony spaces, indoors and out, give you room to choose a setting that feels like you.

Ceremonies

There are four licensed ceremony spaces: the Arboretum, the Garden, the Dunkerley and the Conservatory. Ceremonies can be held indoors or outdoors, and the grounds and lake are available for photographs.

Receptions and food

The Lakeside Restaurant and Bar serves seasonal menus, and wedding feasts can be paired with the hotel wine and cocktail list. Packages commonly include a menu tasting for the couple, a three-course wedding breakfast, a sparkling toast and an evening buffet. Ask the team which package applies to your date.

Staying

The hotel has rooms and suites, and standard packages include a bedroom for the couple. A bridal preparation suite is also mentioned in the offers, so ask about early arrival.

Getting there and the area

Mere is on the A50 near Knutsford, with Manchester and its airport to the north and the Cheshire countryside around it. Tatton Park is a short drive away.

The house is a Grade II listed Edwardian building, and the hotel is rated four-star. The lake and gardens give the venue a calm setting, and guests can use lawn games on the grounds. Late availability offers appear from time to time, and the team arranges showrounds through the contact page, so a visit is the easiest way to see the four ceremony spaces and choose between them.
