Step “through the looking-glass” and into a wedding day that’s as whimsical as it is unforgettable. At Oddfellows Chester—a charming, quirky Georgian townhouse perched within the city walls—you’ll find the perfect magical backdrop for an Alice in Wonderland–inspired celebration.
A Venue Straight Out of Wonderland
• Alice’s Parlour & Tea Room: Tucked within our boutique hotel, this delightful dining space echoes the iconic tea party scene—think mismatched teacups, botanical table décor, and playful details at every turn.
• Quirky Decorative Touches: From a suspended upside down table in the Tea Rooms to boxing hares and hidden curiosities throughout, the venue itself brings that fantastical-storybook charm.
Real Weddings, Real Whimsy
Couples have brought the story to life in amazing ways:
• Em & Dom’s wedding featured a pop-up Alice in Wonderland guest book with tea cups, cards, flowers, and glass cloches adorning the tables—perfectly capturing that playful, otherworldly spirit.
• Kelly & Justin’s celebration included Alice-themed décor and a spectacular cake by the bride herself—a truly colourful, fun-filled day.
Ideal for All Kinds of Celebrations
• Intimate or Grand: Our first-floor space caters for up to 60 seated guests (and up to 140 for evening receptions), making it perfect for a cosy Mad Hatter’s tea or a raucous Wonderland ball. Or go intimate in the Tea Room, seating 18 for a cosy wedding vibe.
• Exclusive Ambiance: Couples have access to the whole top floor to themselves—private, charming, and entirely their own.
Tailored Menus & Service
• Work with in-house chefs to discover the ideal menu—whether whimsical afternoon teas, elegant wedding breakfasts, or rooftop BBQ’s under the Cheshire sky.
• A dedicated wedding coordinator team ensures a smooth experience—from planning to post-"I do" drinks under the roses.
On-Site Stay with Character
After the reception, retreat to one of our individually designed rooms—18 bedrooms and 5 apartments filled with curiosities, some boasting roll-top baths, Nespresso machines, and cosy touches. Perfect for recharging before venturing into Chester the next day.
