How long have there been civil partnerships? Five years? Longer? It seems like forever, doesn't it? Civil partnerships are now an unquestioned part of modern life, and there's nowhere better - nowhere more picturesque, romantic or evocative - than Combermere Abbey for you to hold your civil partnership and make the commitment to that very special person.

Our weddings and civil partnership team is highly experienced, and can tailor the day to your exact requirements. You might now exactly what you want, down to the last detail, or you may want advice and guidance. Whether it's catering, décor, stationery, music - absolutely no matter what - nothing is too much trouble.

The setting itself is exquisite; the Pavilion and the beautifully restored Glass House stand at opposite ends of a stunning walled garden, featuring a unique fruit tree maze. And close by are ten five-star self-catering cottages, all individually decorated to the very highest standard; you and your partner-to-be and up to four dozen can stay over before the ceremony - and again, we can provide catering. You are of course free to wander in the woodland and alonside the estate's hundred-plus acre lake, revelling in the tranquility and the stunning setting.

Click here to check on availability for civil partnerships at Combermere, and then give us a call (the numbers are on those pages) - and if the photos themselves don't convince you of the glory of the location do feel free to make an appointment and come and see us. I'd bet you a pound to a penny that you'll be stunned.
