Exceptional Team & Venue!!

5 stars isn't enough for these amazing people! 😍 I recently had my wedding here, and I'm still grinning from ear to ear thinking about how perfect everything was. The team went above and beyond to make our day truly unforgettable.

From the initial consultation to the last goodbye, the staff were consummate professionals, warm, and welcoming. They listened to our every need, offered sage advice, and executed our vision flawlessly.

The venue itself is gorgeous, with plenty of space for our guests to mingle and enjoy themselves. But what really made our day special was the people. They made us feel like family, not just clients.

If you're looking for a stress-free, enjoyable wedding planning experience, look no further than Mercure Haydock. You won't regret it!

The making of an incredible day

My husband and I were completely blown away with how much support, detail and care went into helping us plan our wedding. Nicky was amazing. She explained every aspect of the ceremony and reception.
Jodie put together the most beautiful reception room. All of the guests commented on how magical it looked.
The food options were great. They accommodated some fussy eaters and people with allergies with no stress. The food was delicious. Potion size was very generous, especially for the quality of the food.
The suite my husband and I stayed in was huge! Decorated with traditional furniture, that was well placed and never felt cramped. The bed was extremely comfortable. We both slept very well.
On the whole, I would recommend the Mercure in a heartbeat. We were well looked after from the get go! A huge thank you to all the staff involved with our wedding. They made our special day perfect.

Wedding May 2025

We held our wedding day + night at Mercure Haydock May 2025 - Booked 18 months prior , amazing communication via email or phone with Nicola, Stephanie & their team. Nothing was ever a bother (Especially me adding everything on last minute!) We stayed the night before and staff couldnt do enough for us - Rooms / Suites all very comfortable, clean & spacious. Variety of pastries, hot & cold food for breakfast. Defenitley recommend Mercure, we will sure be staying more often! Thanks again Team for my our day so special!

Wedding day.

Can’t fault the mercure for a wedding venue , the racecourse suite is beautiful and the perfect size the hotel grounds are lovely plenty places for lovely pictures.
The staff from the wedding coordinator to the waiters on the day have been brilliant, we felt we didn’t want for anything and everything was so personal.
The day ran so smoothly and the little touches added from the hotel really stood out from something as little as a glass of water waiting for me before I walked down the aisle to having our first printed photo framed waiting in our room with a bottle of bubbly.
I could go on but can’t put into words how fantastic everything was.
Can’t fault anything at all.

Most amazing wedding venue

What can I say about the Mercure other than absolutely fantastic. I have never had such an amazing experience. From planning my day with Nicky, she never made anything seem like too much trouble, to the lovely James and Jodie working so hard to make my autumn dreams come true - I can only be eternally grateful. You've have made it fast so unforgettable. Abi who was with us from our initial tasting to the day was so friendly and went above& beyond to help us. The amazing service you receive is second to none. I would 10000% recommend.

Unforgettable day

We had our wedding here on the 14.09.2024. Hannah and Nicola were amazing. They answered all my questions and queries quickly. They were invaluable on the days leading up to the wedding and even more so on the day of the wedding. I dropped off all of my centerpieces and decorations a few days before and they set the racecourse suite up perfectly relieving so much stress from me. On the day they were amazing. they helped to keep me calm ensuring that things ran smoothly and on time. Jodie was looking after us for the evening and did a fantastic job of introducing me and my husband and announcing the speeches she was essential to keeping us running on time. We also had a beautiful personal touch of having a first photo as husband and wife sneakily captured, edited, framed and left in our room for us with a beautiful note from Hannah and Jodie. We cannot thank the staff enough!

Keith & Ken Wedding Reception

Back home after having had our Wedding Reception in the marquee on Friday 28th August. We wish to thank all the staff for making sure that we ourselves, and all our guests had a wonderful time. The feedback from our family and friends has been very positive. The staff were very well organised all evening and made everything flow so smoothly. Our wedding co-ordinator (Kathryn) is an absolute star and we just love her to bits!! Special thanks to Kathryn for all she has done for us, above and beyond exceptional.

The hotel is light, airy and modern with lovely gardens. All rooms more than met our needs and that of guests.

As we live near by, we intend to visit on a regular basis and keep in contact with our new friends. Thank you so much for everything that was done
