5 Twilight Wedding Packages in Cheshire

Dream of getting married at sunset? We’ve pulled together 5 of the best twilight wedding packages in Cheshire. Twilight weddings tend to be more budget-friendly while still enabling you to have a fantastic ceremony and celebration with your friends and family.

Don’t forget to hire your wedding car in Cheshire! We have hundreds to choose from.

What is a Twilight Wedding?

A twilight wedding is a wedding ceremony that takes place in the late afternoon or early evening. 

They often don’t have a traditional wedding breakfast and skip straight to the evening party. Some twilight weddings will still have a sit-down meal but many just have a drinks reception followed by a party, depending on the couple’s preference.

Benefits of a Twilight wedding

There are a number of benefits to having a wedding later in the day.

Beautiful natural light

Sunset is well known for being a romantic and beautiful time of day. Having a twilight wedding means you can make the most of this, plus get some stunning photographs during the golden hour.

A slower paced day

With the wedding starting in the late afternoon, the day will be much slower paced. You can take your time, don’t have to get up at the crack of dawn to get ready and can generally enjoy a calmer itinerary.

It’s easier on your guests too. They have more time to travel to the venue, which is particularly useful for anyone travelling from further away, and those that need to sort childcare will need it for less time.

More relaxed

Without a formal wedding breakfast, twilight weddings tend to be more relaxed events. You can enjoy your time celebrating with your family and friends with fewer formalities and obligations to fulfil.

More budget-friendly

Twilight weddings typically reduce food requirements. Rather than having to provide a midday meal and evening food, only one meal is usually required. You also hire the venue for less time which can help to keep costs down.
