We had the most fantastic day at The Old Palace we could ever have wished for. The venue itself is just stunning, the staff are the most helpful staff I have ever encountered - anywhere! The food was to die for, the drinks were beautiful, nothing was ever too much to ask. Special shout out to Lauren, for just being wonderful and on hand with every single question I had (and there was a lot of questions!) It was the most stress-free experience, everything was looked after behind the scenes. Every single guest raved about what a fantastic time they had. I’m just sad we can’t do it all again!

Myself and my now Husband got married here at the start of September and from start to finish, the day was absolutely spectacular! The Old Palace is an astonishing venue in a great area of Chester. With places like the Cathedral grounds and the Suspension Bridge within walking distance, these make for some amazing photo opportunities for the wedding couple!
From start to finish, the staff couldn't have been more helpful and reassuring, exceeding all expectations and creating the perfect day. My husband and I knew we were in good hands and never had to worry about anything on the day as the team dealt with everything perfectly. Special thanks to Lauren, who went above and beyond in making our day the best it could be. Nothing was too much for her and we will be forever grateful for all that she did on throughout our wedding day.
The range of food and drink throughout the day from drinks reception, to wedding breakfast and even to the evening food, meant that there was something for everyone! One thing that our family and friends keep saying is that the quality of the food was fantastic and the cocktails we chose were fantastic!
I would definitely recommend asking for their list of recommended suppliers as this made the wedding planning so much easier. This meant that vendors knew the venue's rules and what times they could arrive to set up/turn down ect.
Nothing was too much trouble for the team at Old Palace and trust me, I had many many questions during the months leading upto the wedding. All the stress and worry will be more than worth it if you choose Old Palace as your dream venue. You won't regret it!
Take advantage of the Chef's Table experiences as this is the best way to discover your perfect menu. It's not just a menu tasting, it's a fully indulged wedding experience!
One final thing to say would be that we couldn't have imagined our special day to have gone any better! And this was down to The Old Palace and their staff! They are a credit to the venue and all that they do. If only we could come back to do it all again, it was truely magical!

Old Palace Chester was everything we could have dreamed of and more. The venue itself is breathtaking, perfectly located by the river and Roman ruins; ideal for sneaking away for the most beautiful photo opportunities. But what really made it flawless was the service and the incredible staff. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended.
From the very beginning, Gemma was outstanding. We only had a few months to plan, but she made the whole process so easy and stress-free. On the day itself, we were lucky enough to have both Gemma and Lauren coordinating, and they were nothing short of amazing. Everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to relax and just enjoy every moment.
If you want the most perfect wedding, this is the venue for you. We couldn’t recommend Old Palace Chester highly enough.

We recently got married at Old Palace Chester and I can’t put into words how beautiful this venue is. As soon as we saw it, we knew straight away Old Palace was the one for us.
Nestled in the heart of Chester city centre, it has the most picturesque backdrop and a stunning view of the River Dee, but it also feels private and secluded, just what we wanted for our wedding day.
Not only is the venue beautiful, but the staff are also absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, they made us feel so special and were so welcoming. They were with us every step of the way and made sure we had the most amazing wedding day. Huge shoutout to Lauren, we couldn’t have done it without you. You were so organised, and really looked after us on the lead up to the day, and the day itself. You can tell just how much you love your job, and all the guests have said how great you were. We’d also like to shoutout Georgie who helped us at the very beginning with the booking process. But every single member of staff there are so lovely and friendly.
We had the most perfect wedding day from start to finish with the whole day running so smoothly. It’s more than we could have ever hoped for. Couldn’t recommend Old Palace enough! Thank you so much for everything!

Old palace is such an incredible venue to get married in. We got married in September this year and had the best day celebrating. The food was amazing and we had so many comments from our guests about how incredible the food, venue and service was! 👌The staff there are so helpful and attentive. A special shout out to Georgie and Lauren who go the extra mile for every couple and make your day even more special.
Would definitely recommend getting the cocktails and beer barrels for your guests it went down a treat! X
