28.06.25 Wilde wedding x

We had our wedding on Saturday and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish.
Special thanks to Rebecca for all her hard work within the 12 months of planning and then we was handed over to Jodie for the wedding day.
Jodie was the absolute BEST, nothing was too much, continuously checking in with us if we needed anything etc and made me feel so at ease knowing she was there to sort whatever I needed her too. the room was set out beautifully, the evening buffet was absolutely delicious and there was PLENTY! I was worried Incase there wouldn’t be enough but I had nothing to worry about! The buffet was fresh and high quality! The hotel also left us cakes and a card in the room congratulating us which was a lovely touch! We went down for breakfast the next day which was also unreal! A choice of everything you could think of and all high quality! We then enjoyed a swim before heading home.
From start to finish our wedding day was perfect and we couldn’t have wished for anything more. Thank you so much Mercure St Helens. Love Mr & Mrs Wilde. X

Highly recommend and appreciate all the help!

Fabulous venue

Got married here on 30th August and it was such a wonderful day. Our wedding co-ordinator was absolutely perfect and made the day faultless. She was with us the entire day and catered so well to our friends with dietary requirements. The decor and food was perfect, and nothing was too much trouble. We even had a card and chocolate left in our room from staff as a congratulations. I would 100% recommend this venue for a wedding.
