What do people look for in Indian Wedding Venues?

Top Indian Wedding Venues - Stoneleigh Abbey

I asked my past couples what was important to them when they were picking a venue and here’s some of what they said:

  • Space for large celebrations – Indian weddings often have 200+ guests, so plenty of room is a must.
  • The wow factor – Beautiful venues enhance your wedding photography and the experience for you and your guests.
  • Flexibility for multi-day events – Many Indian weddings include Mehndi, Sangeet, and other pre-wedding events as well as the Wedding and Reception.
  • Catering options – Some venues allow external Indian caterers, while others have in-house catering.
  • Convenient location – Easy access for guests and accommodation options nearby.

Top 11 Indian Wedding Venues in Cheshire, Manchester & Beyond

Each of these Indian wedding venues offers something unique for Asian and Indian weddings. I’ll start with a couple of my favourites in Cheshire but these venues are located all over the UK, and at the end of the article I’ll tell you about a few super cool looking venues where I’ve not yet worked!

Capesthorne Hall – Cheshire Indian Wedding Venue

  • Why it’s great: A stunning lakeside estate with breathtaking architecture and beautiful gardens.
  • Capacity & facilities: Can accommodate large weddings with both indoor and outdoor settings.
  • Best photography spots: The grand hall, formal gardens, and lake views.

I took the photo above during Miriam and Dan’s Indian wedding at Capesthorne Hall. This venue is absolutely epic in every way from the stunning house, the sprawling gardens, the lake and this marquee you can see here where they had their ceremony. Their wedding was planned by the awesome wedding planner Kate Park Events – check out this shot of the main marquee before anyone entered:

This gorgeous moment above was from the Hindu wedding ceremony for Niyati and Andrew’s Cheshire Indian Wedding at Nunsmere Hall, which took place in the permanent marquee. The amazing thing about Nunsmere hall as an Indian wedding venue is you’ll get ready in one of the lovely bedrooms (it has plenty of accommodation for your VIP guests) and you can also host smaller events like your civil ceremony in one of the rooms of the house so you don’t have to do it all in the marquee like you would at some venues.

Offley Place – Hertfordshire Indian Wedding Venue

  • Why it’s great: A grand country manor with exclusive use available. One of the most popular Indian wedding venues.
  • Capacity & facilities: 250+ guests, licensed for civil ceremonies.
  • Best photography spots: Elegant indoor ballrooms and scenic gardens.
  • Well known for: One of the friendliest and most professional teams in the industry.

Top Indian Wedding Venues - Offley Place - Indian Wedding Photographer ARJ Photography®

Honestly, Offley Place is probably my favourite Indian Wedding Venue, and it’s nowhere near Cheshire! The photo above is one I took during Bijal and Hursh’s Indian wedding at Offley Place and since then I’m really proud to be a recommended supplier at Offley Place and have been back many more times. If anyone asks me, Offley Place is my top recommendation for your Indian wedding venue.

The grand ballroom at Offley Place is one of the most versatile spaces at any wedding venue, and has the added bonus of being filled with the most beautiful natural light which is just amazing for your ceremony photos. The photo above was taken during the Zoroastrian Wedding Ceremony at Offley Place.

The Baraat (groom’s arrival) is such a key part of most Indian weddings, so finding a venue with a good long driveway like the one at Offley Place is ideal! And then it’s just your job to milk every moment like Hitesh is doing above at his Offley Place Indian wedding to Priya!

Devonshire Dome – Peak District Indian Wedding Venue

  • Why it’s great: One of the most unique Indian wedding venues in the UK with a massive domed ceiling.
  • Capacity & facilities: Can host up to 600 guests.
  • Best photography spots: The breathtaking dome structure.

Top Indian Wedding Venues - Devonshire Dome Buxton - Indian Wedding Photographer ARJ Photography®

I’ve worked at some incredible and unique Indian wedding venues around the world, but I think Devonshire Dome is maybe the most awe-inspiringly unique of them all on the inside. It’s huge! Sarita and Jeetesh had their Indian Wedding at Devonshire Dome and I’d say the only drawback of the venue is that it doesn’t have much space for the Baraat. Apart from that, once you’re inside, epic is an understatement!

I haven’t even mentioned how important the reception is yet have I? This photo above is Jeetesh living his best life during their reception with that epic dome above him! So good!

The cool thing about Devonshire dome as an Indian wedding venue is that it’s a hidden gem and I bet you don’t really know anyone who’s got married there? Uniqueness always scores highly with me! Check this venue out for your Indian wedding for sure.

Winstanley House – Leicester Indian Wedding Venue

  • Why it’s great: A boutique venue with a mix of modern and historic charm.
  • Capacity & facilities: 450+ guests, ideal for traditional Indian weddings.
  • Best photography spots: The gardens and parkland.

Top Indian Wedding Venues - Winstanley House Leicester - Indian Wedding Photographer ARJ Photography®

Mentioning the Baraat again, Winstanley House in Leicester has a great long approach to this and you can stay in the car for longer so might want to think about something vintage and topless like Shiv did at his Winstanley House Indian wedding to Nim!

Another super cool feature of Winstanley House which is unusual amongst Indian wedding venues, is that they take you into the fully private walled garden for some photos and it’s so nice to have that privacy, although there’s also a great garden at the back and a massive park right next to the venue!

Northbrook Park – Surrey Indian Wedding Venue

  • Why it’s great: A breathtaking 18th-century estate with flexible indoor and outdoor spaces and one of the most popular Indian wedding venues because of its versatility and variety of rooms and spaces, including the walled garden for outdoor weddings.
  • Capacity & facilities: 250+ guests, pet-friendly, and allows external catering.
  • Best photography spots: Stunning gardens and historic architecture.

If top of your list while searching Indian wedding venues is “must have a peacock willing to pose for photos with us” then Northbrook Park is the clear winner! This cool moment was during Neel and Olivia’s Indian Wedding at Northbrook Park!

Can you tell I absolutely love a Baraat? The great thing about Northbrook Park is it’s definitely an all-weather all-year-round venue.

Hedsor House – Buckinghamshire Indian Wedding Venue

  • Why it’s great: A luxurious stately home perfect for grand weddings. Consistently voted amongst the best luxury Indian wedding venues in the world. Run my an amazing team who will make sure your wedding happens perfectly.
  • Capacity & facilities: Up to 150 guests inside, plus outdoor options.
  • Best photography spots: Beautiful interiors, gardens, and sweeping driveway.

As far as Indian wedding venues go, if luxury and grandeur with a more intimate vibe is what you want then Hedsor is such a perfect venue. Above you can see Piotr making his approach to the house just before his Hindu wedding at Hedsor to Nikki.

Hedsor truly has some of the most beautiful grounds of any of the Indian wedding venues anywhere in the world in my opinion, and if you want to make time to explore them with me on your wedding day, we will.

Sefton Palm House – Liverpool Indian Wedding Venue

  • Why it’s great: A unique botanical setting with a stunning glasshouse and one of the most unique Indian wedding venues in the UK.
  • Capacity & facilities: Up to 220 guests, perfect for vibrant celebrations.
  • Best photography spots: Lush tropical greenery and the dramatic glass dome.

Top Indian Wedding Venues - Sefton Palm House - Indian Wedding Photographer ARJ Photography®

One of my favourite ever Indian wedding photos is this one of Miriam arriving with her family into Sefton Palm House. I always say to anyone that the venue is only ever a background to the iconic moments of your wedding, as far as your photos are concerned but it’s also a huge part of your experience and the experience of your guests. Sefton Palm House is an amazing venue.

Some venues just create party vibes. Sefton Palm House is one of them!

Parklands Quendon Hall – Essex Indian Wedding Venue

  • Why it’s great: A grand estate with 17th-century charm and modern facilities.
  • Capacity & facilities: 500+ guests, outdoor Mandap options available.
  • Best photography spots: Expansive grounds and stunning ballrooms.

A photo from Anita and Alkay’s Sri Lankan Asian Wedding at Parklands Quendon Hall. The pavilion at Quendon Hall is so light and bright for ceremonies, it’s great if you’re into the light and colourful style of photography for your wedding.

Whichever Indian wedding venue you choose, it’s important to look at where you’ll be spending the vast majority of the day (usually the ceremony and reception will be in the same room). The pavilion at Parklands Quendon Hall transforms for the evening reception and it’s a big space that lends itself to any style of decor.

Stoneleigh Abbey – Warwickshire Indian Wedding Venue

  • Why it’s great: A historic estate offering stunning riverside views.
  • Capacity & facilities: 200+ guests, allows external catering.
  • Best photography spots: Grand hall, formal gardens, and riverside views.

Top Indian Wedding Venues - Stoneleigh Abbey - Indian Wedding Photographer ARJ Photography®

The photo above is one I took during the Hindu ceremony at Sharan and Raveena’s Indian wedding at Stoneleigh Abbey. They actually spent two full days at the abbey, including an outdoor civil ceremony, dinner in the main house, Hindu ceremony in the conservatory and reception in the riding school. It’s probably one of the most amazing Indian wedding venues in the country if you’ve got a big guest list for your reception especially!

Top Indian Wedding Venues - Stoneleigh Abbey - Indian Wedding Photographer ARJ Photography®

Probably one of the most striking buildings in the country, and with amazing grounds for your photos makes Stoneleigh Abbey an epic choice for your Indian wedding.

Bowes Museum – County Durham Indian Wedding Venue

  • Why it’s great: A unique and artistic setting with breathtaking architecture.
  • Capacity & facilities: Ideal for intimate yet luxurious weddings.
  • Best photography spots: Grand staircases and ornate museum interiors.

Top Indian Wedding Venues - Bowes Museum - Indian Wedding Photographer ARJ Photography®

I’d say this is a venue with a very similar vibe to Stoneleigh Abbey but at the other side of the country. Here you can see Bowes Museum in the background as Archit arrives for his Indian wedding at Bowes Museum to Shivani.

Top Indian Wedding Venues - Bowes Museum - Indian Wedding Photographer ARJ Photography®

Like most venues, lots of your wedding at Bowes Museum would take place in the marquee. Obviously we get to use the house itself for your getting ready photos and portraits but apart from that you’re in a marquee. Not a bad thing, I just don’t think a lot of couples think about the fact that 90% of your day is spent in a marquee and the main venue is often just a cool photo prop.

Hilton Syon Park – London Indian Wedding Venue

  • Why it’s great: A modern venue with classic elegance, ideal for large Indian weddings.
  • Capacity & facilities: 400+ guests, luxury accommodations on-site.
  • Best photography spots: Gardens, elegant ballrooms, and historic Syon House.

Top Indian Wedding Venues - Hilton Syon Park - Indian Wedding Photographer ARJ Photography®

That’s the amazing Sajnee and Akhil framed by the cool architecture of Hilton Syon Park for their Indian wedding at Syon Park. I actually love this venue and I’m not usually a fan of hotel venues, but Hilton Syon Park is a cool one and somehow feels nice and private.

Obviously being a hotel it also has the added benefit of having loads of accommodation for you and your guests. Always helps when you know you’re going to have an epic party like Sajnee and Akhil did!

Top Indian Wedding Venues - Hilton Syon Park - Indian Wedding Photographer ARJ Photography®

The grand ballroom at Hilton Syon Park was transformed completely for Sajnee and Akhil – if you’ve got grand plans or are using a planner with good vision then it’s worth picking one of the Indian wedding venues that’s sort of a blank canvas so you can turn it into whatever you want!

More Indian Wedding Venues in Cheshire & Manchester I’d Love to Photograph

Beyond these top venues, there are plenty more amazing locations perfect for Indian weddings. Here are a few more I’d love to capture:

Tatton Park – Cheshire

A stunning stately home surrounded by beautiful gardens, offering plenty of space for a large celebration.

The Monastery – Manchester

A breathtaking, historic venue with grand architecture that adds a regal touch to any wedding.

Victoria Warehouse – Manchester

An industrial-chic venue with a raw, urban aesthetic that can be transformed into a spectacular wedding space.

Final Thoughts: Choosing the Perfect Venue for Your Indian Wedding

Your wedding venue sets the stage for your unforgettable celebrations and will be a huge part of your experience and your guests experience on your wedding day. Whether you’re drawn to the historic charm of a stately home or the grandeur of a modern estate, each of these venues provides the perfect backdrop for a spectacular Indian wedding.

Top tips of what to look out for as you contact and visit Indian wedding venues:

  • Look for a friendly team who seem excited that you want to hold your wedding there! Every single supplier you use for your wedding, you should get a strong vibe that they love what they do and really want to help you have an amazing wedding!
  • Look for a variety of different spaces you can use if you’re planning to hold other events there too like your Sangeet or Civil wedding ceremony.
  • Ask who will be running the day if you’re not using your own wedding planner – I’ve seen too many weddings where the party has been reduced to an hour or less because of slippages in the timings as the day has gone on due to poor organisation.
  • Be wary of using a venue who says you can have more than their usual maximum. This will potentially spoil your experience if you’re squeezed in like sardines on the day.

As an experienced Indian wedding photographer, I’d love to capture the magic of your day, no matter where you choose to celebrate. If you’re planning an Indian wedding in Cheshire, Manchester, or beyond, let’s chat about how I can help preserve your memories for a lifetime.
