ODDFELLOWS TIMES SPRING ISSUE - MARCH TO MAY 2026

Unapologetically Unconventional Weddings

A CURIOUS FEAST: EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY

When it comes to wedding food at Oddfellows Chester, nothing is off the table — except the ordinary. From a lavish four-course banquet to an elegant afternoon or evening tea service, your wedding feast is entirely your own creation. Fancy something a little more playful? Gather everyone around for a gloriously indulgent fondue party. Craving comforting classics? Think golden fish & chips or a perfectly indulgent Sunday roast. Feeling extravagant? Lobster thermidor awaits. And when the music’s loud, the dancing’s wild, and your guests inevitably get the munchies, our late-night snacks swoop in to save the day — because even the most magical celebrations deserve a delicious after-hours encore.

The Upstairs Bar

Up the magical, historical staircase lies your own private party floor — a hidden world reserved just for you. Begin in the serene, light-filled ceremony room before slipping into a VIP bar guarded by our notorious boxing hares, then transform the Grown Up Dining Room into whatever the moment demands: wedding breakfast by day, lounge by evening, dancefloor by night. Step outside onto your secluded rooftop terrace for golden-hour drinks, sunset views, and stolen moments above the city. Built in 1676 for the infamous party-loving Lady Mary Calverley, this extraordinary space was never meant for quiet lives or sensible gatherings — and centuries later, we’re proud to keep the legacy alive with unforgettable celebrations, glorious mischief, and nights that refuse to behave. FROM THE DANCEFLOOR TO DREAMLAND — ONLY STEPS AWAY And then you become bedfellows. At Oddfellows Chester, the celebrations continue even after the party ends. Spend the night before your wedding with your bridesmaids, sharing stories, cocktails, and excitement until sleep finally takes over. On your wedding night, the real fun begins upstairs—because why would you go anywhere else? Wake up married, blissfully happy, and already at home, without ever having to leave the building. A late check-out is a must (naturally), and if you can, escape the real world for just one more night… because days like this deserve to be savored without rushing off back to reality.
