Weddings at Heaton House Farm: A stage for a fairy-tale wedding

Imagine saying your vows beneath the open Cheshire sky, surrounded by rolling hills and centuries-old barns—weddings at Heaton House Farm are truly the fairy-tale weddings so often wished for. Nestled just over the hill from Macclesfield on the Staffordshire border, this charming, family-run estate blends rustic character with modern luxury. Everything you need—ceremony, reception, party, and overnight stay comes together under one magical roof, making it the perfect all-in-one venue for your special day.

The heart of Heaton House Farm lies in its beautifully restored 17th-century barns. Think vaulted ceilings, original wooden beams, and cosy underfloor heating. Whether you’re planning a lively summer celebration or a snug winter gathering, the space wraps your day in warmth and character.

Ceremony-wise, you’re spoilt for choice. You could say “I do” in the light-filled Hayloft, beside tranquil water gardens, or out on the terrace with panoramic countryside views as your backdrop. Every option feels unique and personal.

What’s more, the farm is as committed to the planet as it is to your day. Powered by solar energy, it recycles everything from food to cooking oil, and it cares deeply for its local wildlife. Celebrating here means you’re treading lightly while still going big on joy.

And when we say everything happens under one roof, we mean it. From the bridal prep room in the morning to the on-site accommodation at night, guests can enjoy the entire day without ever needing to leave the grounds. It’s seamless, stylish, and entirely self-contained—exactly how you want your wedding day to feel.

At Weddings by Michael, we believe every couple’s wedding tells a one-of-a-kind story. And weddings at Heaton House Farm offers the perfect setting to bring that story to life. Here’s how we make it last forever.

Our photography style leans towards documentary—no forced poses or stiff smiles. We capture things as they unfold: the raw emotion in your vows, the quiet moments between the noise, the unexpected bursts of laughter during dinner. These are the memories that truly matter.

To make sure your photos feel as personal as your vows, we offer editing styles tailored to your taste. Choose the soft, nostalgic feel of Vintage, the warm glow of Sunkissed, the dreamy lightness of Matt, or the timeless drama of Black & White. It’s all included, so you don’t have to compromise.

And of course, Heaton’s countryside charm gives us so much to work with—rolling hills, rustic barns, mirror-like lakes. We often time portraits during golden hour, when the light is at its most magical, so your pictures radiate that warm, romantic glow.

With over thirty years of experience, we’ve learned that it’s the smallest moments—the shared glance, the squeeze of a hand—that tell the biggest stories. We work closely with your venue coordinators to blend into the background while making sure every fleeting second finds its place in your final album, like chapters in a beautiful book.
