The Perfect Alternative to Traditional Wedding Cake

Your wedding day deserves something extraordinary. For over 12 years, 
The Cheese Yard has been creating stunning 
wedding cheese cakes and towers for couples across Cheshire,
 Manchester, and the North West. We've designed thousands 
of bespoke cheese cakes, each one as unique as the love story 
it celebrates.

Step One:
The Tasting

We offer a FREE cheese tasting to design your cheese wedding cake. With over a million different cheeses in the world there is plenty to choose from.

Book your meeting with us by calling 01565 751 697 or email vincent@cheeseyard.com.
We can do your tasting Tuesdays to Saturday. We can alternatively do a phone meeting if you cannot make it to our shop. From tasting to design, it will take approximately 1 hour.


Step Two:
The Design

Following the tasting, we then get to work on the design and create your celebration cheese tower by choosing the cheeses you have enjoyed the most.  Not every cheese will fit in the cheese cake tower unfortunately due to their diameter but do not worry, 95% of the time there is a way we can include the cheeses you really enjoy.  Once designed we guide you through the appropriate number of crackers and chutneys you might require.  

The Delivery

We will deliver your wedding cheese cake to your venue. We deliver personally within Cheshire and deliveries are free of charge.
For further afield we send our cheeses chilled and packaged on an overnight courier service using ParcelForce delivery Express overnight service.

We liaise with your venue to arrange the delivery time and all our cheese towers include instructions for your caterer on how to assemble, cut and care for your cheeses. Description of all cheeses are included ready to be displayed.
