TAKE YOUR WEDDING DAY TO THE MOON AND BACK
Looking for a celestial ceremony that screams ‘Love you to the moon and back?’ Look no further than Jodrell Bank in Cheshire
WRITTEN IN THE STARS!
Star-crossed lovers and astronomy aficionados alike will be delighted to discover that they can wed at Jodrell Bank Centre of Engagement, home to UNESCO World Heritage site Jodrell Bank Observatory, one of the UK’s leading hubs of astrophysics and space exploration. Where better to demonstrate that you love your partner to the moon and back?
OUT OF THIS WORLD
Set in 35 acres of idyllic Cheshire countryside, the site has been transformed since 2022, with the construction of a state- of-the-art pavilion featuring a 144-capacity 3D planetarium cinema, as well as a restaurant and terrace that can host up to 100 visitors. Just imagine – a big-day venue where your guests can both travel through space and time (disclaimer: not literally) in the planetarium and enjoy the bucolic wonder of the Peak District – your wedding could bring together the very best that the solar system has to offer.
GO STELLAR
We all know that the Great British weather is unpredictable at best. So, why not ditch the Met Office app and switch spring showers for meteor showers? Jodrell Bank’s planetarium weddings offer a stunning alternative to that risky September alfresco country manor vows. Choose from a wide range of immersive videos of stars, planets, nebulas and galaxies, all filmed from the ESSA Hubble Telescope projected onto the 3D cinema screen. Your celestial ceremony will go off with a (big) bang.
BELLE LOVES
Jodrell Bank offers its own range of favours, bur the icing on top to booking this venue is that you can gift your beloved a star map of the night you married, or have a star named for them as a wedding present. Could this place be any more romantic
GO INTO ORBIT
There are a host of big-day packages to choose from for couples seeking intergalactic nuptials of all proportions, as well as extras you might want to opt in for to make the occasion extra-special for your loved ones. For example, you can invite your guests to make the most of the centre’s exhibitions, talks and interactive displays while you get ready – and have we mentioned the sparkling, rocket-fuelled (again, not literally) space cocktails you can serve up for your drinks reception?
Wedding packages with ceremonies and drinks reception at Jodrell Bank and evening reception, at De Vere Cranage Estate start from £10,400. The wedding party can stay in De Vere Cranage Estate’s newly refurbished bedrooms and make use of the leisure facilities.
ZOOM IN
For an unforgettable couple's portrait, why not strike a pose under the Grade II-listed Lovell Telescope? With it's vast 76-feet diameter, it's iconic symbol of the part Britain played in the space race.
