Editor's Note
The Parkes Estate feels like one of Cheshire's most exciting newer additions to the wedding scene. What immediately stands out is the balance between old and new; the Victorian house has retained its character and charm, while the Orchard Suite brings a fresh, contemporary feel to the venue. There's a calmness about the estate that makes it feel incredibly welcoming, and the exclusive-use approach means couples can truly settle in and make the place their own.
