The perfect wedding venue

The perfect wedding venue

Finding the perfect place to get married is hard enough, but then to find the ideal venue too, you definitely have your work cut out for you.

The Fisherman’s Retreat is a combination of both; the idyllic setting for you and your loved one to enter in this loving commitment.

A venue hidden amongst the countryside which provides the perfect setting for you photographs, The Fisherman’s Retreat is just outside the town of Ramsbottom, 15 miles north of Manchester city centre.


Hervey Magnall, who owns the bar and restaurant, concedes that he may have a biased opinion of why you should get married here, but the many thanks he’s received from previous couples proves this place is the superlative.

“Forty-one couples have commended the work we have done to help make there’s a perfect wedding day and we can’t wait to do even more.

“The testimonial book shows just how appreciative previous couples have been.”


The Fisherman’s Retreat is now fully licensed to hold civil wedding ceremonies for up to 150 guests in the purpose-built extension.

The stunning view of the hills in the Valley Suite, through the beautiful feature glass wall means your guests will not only see you both looking as handsome as you will, but upon the perfect backdrop, whether sun or snow.

There’s also the option for the more intimate Nuttall Room, which is completed with a wood-burning stove, creating a warming home-like feel to your wedding.


The Fisherman’s Retreat wedding co-ordinator is on-hand to help as much or as little as you would like and share and talk through ideas you might have for your special day.

The Valley Suite caters for up to 120 guests for a wedding breakfast, but the special touch has to be The Loft, a private room, just off the suite, which is perfect for the bride to use on her day as a dressing room or a wedding breakfast for two.

Let’s of course not forget the evening reception, which can be moved downstairs to the Ratcliffe Suite. This opens out onto a
spacious terrace, this fully-equipped suite with its own bar. Here you can fit up to 160 evening guests.

Hervey continues: “It’s not just the venue; it’s everything else that goes with it too. There are unlimited beautiful photograph opportunities and we offer the best wedding food there is, catering for all of your needs. Book a wedding with us and I trust that you won’t be disappointed.”

Don’t hesitate, start planning your day now and have it suited specifically to your taste.
