Your wedding. Your People. Your Way.


Award-winning Mercure St Helens believes that no two couples are the same, and their wedding shouldn't be either.


Situated in the heart of the historic town of St Helens, Merseyside, Mercure St Helens is a bright, airy and stylish hotel where couples can create a wedding day that feels completely personal to them.


From the moment a couple begins planning their wedding, the dedicated Wedding Coordinators are there to guide them through the journey, answer their questions and take care of the details behind the scenes.


Whether a couple arrives with every detail carefully planned or simply knows that they want their wedding to feel special, the team works with them to bring their ideas to life.


Every wedding at Mercure St Helens is as individual as the couple themselves, with the promise that their special day will be the only wedding taking place at the venue on that date.

A whole wedding day in one place


Mercure St Helens is licensed to hold civil ceremonies and partnerships, allowing couples to spend their whole wedding day together at the hotel.

Their day can begin in the beautiful Chalon Suite, which is fully air-conditioned and features large windows that fill the room with natural light. The lighting can also be dimmed to create a more intimate and cosy atmosphere.

The Chalon Suite can accommodate ceremonies of up to 180 guests and wedding breakfasts of up to 100 guests.


When it's time to celebrate, the stunning Pyramid Suite provides the perfect setting for an unforgettable evening. With its unique high glass ceiling, private bar, two dance floors and twinkling lights around the ceiling, the suite is designed for couples and their guests to dance, celebrate and create memories together.


The Pyramid Suite can comfortably seat up to 180 guests and is licensed for a maximum of 300 people for an evening reception.

Make it completely yours.
Couples can choose from one of Mercure St Helens' carefully created wedding packages or work with the dedicated Wedding Coordinators to tailor their special day around the things that matter most to them. From the big decisions to the smallest personal touches, the team understands that it is the individual details that make a wedding truly memorable.


Couples don't need to have every detail worked out before they arrive. Whether they have a Pinterest board full of ideas, a carefully planned vision or simply don't know where to begin, the Wedding Coordinators are there to help turn their ideas into a wedding that feels completely theirs.

Feel looked after from start to finish

The dedicated Wedding Coordinators are on hand throughout the planning journey to answer questions, offer guidance and make sure all those important details are taken care of behind the scenes.


Mercure St Helens is known for its welcoming team and personal approach, with couples regularly praising the staff for being helpful, friendly and willing to go the extra mile. Couples have described the team as:

  • "Welcoming staff and nothing too much trouble."
  • "Making the whole wedding planning as stress-free as possible."
  • "Amazing and fantastic."
  • "Out of this world."


This commitment to creating an exceptional wedding experience has been recognised with the Hitched Wedding Award in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

Celebrate with the people you love
A wedding isn't just about the couple. It's about bringing together the people who mean the most to them and creating moments that everyone can share and remember.


From the excitement of the ceremony and the celebrations of the wedding breakfast to dancing the night away with friends and family, Mercure St Helens provides the space for couples and their guests to enjoy the whole experience together.


The team is passionate about helping couples create a celebration that their guests will remember long after the final dance.

Stay, celebrate and remember
The celebrations don't have to end when the music stops.


Mercure St Helens has 84 modern and spacious bedrooms, including three beautifully appointed suites. Overnight guests can enjoy special accommodation rates before meeting again over breakfast to relax and reminisce about the memories of a fantastic wedding day.


For the all-important wedding night, couples can choose one of the hotel's suites, offering comfort, style and a little extra luxury after the celebrations.

A wedding as individual as you are
With beautiful ceremony and celebration spaces, flexible wedding packages, dedicated Wedding Coordinators, on-site accommodation and a team committed to making the planning process as stress-free as possible, Mercure St Helens offers everything couples need to create a memorable wedding day in one place.


Most importantly, the team believes that every couple deserves a wedding that feels like their own.


Their ideas. Their people. Their memories.

Wedding 12.09.25

From the first appointment to book the wedding until the day after the wedding everyone was so helpful. Any questions was easily answered with an email or a phonecall. The wedding day was perfect from start to finish. It was a smooth transition from every aspect of the day. The rooms looked beautiful and the food was lovely. Everyone enjoyed themselves. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about booking a party or wedding here.

Our wedding 18th July

We had our wedding here on the 18th July. Everything was perfect from start to finish.
Special thanks to Rebecca who worked hard behind the scenes planning the day and then handed us over to Jodie for the wedding day. Nothing was to much trouble, she even catered for our sons ceremony entrance. Jodie was always on hand and made sure the day ran smoothly. She even helped when my dress bust and wouldn't fasten.
The ceremony room & the pyramid suite were absolutely beautiful everything I had hoped it to be. The food was delicious and there was plentily of it to go round. The hotel room was gorgeous, very clean and comfortable.
We could not have wished for anything more. Thank you so much to all the staff at the Mercure St Helens for your warm welcome & professionalism throughout our stay and on our special day. Love Mr & Mrs Davies xx

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
