Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Here at The Alma Inn, we embrace each wedding as a bespoke celebration and offer our personal assurance that we will work hard to exceed your expectations.

Our historic coaching inn, located on the Lancashire-Yorkshire border, overlooks beautiful moorland views, which make the perfect backdrop for wedding photography. Mirroring the outdoors is an equally stunning interior with stone floors, original beams, roaring fires, the delicate smell of fresh flowers and intimate mood lighting.

We cater for weddings, small and large, with a maximum capacity of 120 day guests and 200 evening guests.

Over the years, we have been lucky to host many great weddings here at The Alma; we understand the details that make all the difference in creating an amazing day. It is our privilege to take care of you and your guests and to ensure your day is exactly as you imagine. It is the most memorable experience to cherish dearly.

You can enjoy your day with us from start to finish. We are licensed to hold civil ceremonies and have 9 elegant country guest bedrooms, including the luxury honeymoon suite. We'd be delighted to give you a tour of the rooms as part of your consultation.

We take pride in our food here at The Alma; we use fantastic local produce and cook everything in-house, fresh for your special day. The menus contain dishes that we know work well for celebrations, and they should offer something for everyone.

We have a team of valued and trusted suppliers, from florists to photographers, with whom we have worked many times before. Of course, you are free to book anyone of your choice for these services.

The Alma Inn is a bar, pub, and restaurant wedding venue located in Colne, Lancashire.

The perfect wedding venue

We had our wedding at the Alma in December. From the moment we first enquired we knew it was the venue for us. Emma helped us through the planning process and, even though we had booked a package, we could add so many personal touches such as changing our arrival drinks. We had 75 day guests and 120 at night and the Alma was the perfect size. There was room for our band and a dance floor in the evening as well as seating areas for our guests to relax when they weren't dancing! One of the highlights was definitely the food. We could pick 3 choices per course for our guests to choose from and everyone said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. The countryside setting is absolutely beautiful for photos and would be lovely in summer as well as there is an outdoor area. The bedrooms are comfortable and well equipped and we wouldn't change a thing about about our day. Emma and the team couldn't do enough for us and the whole day went without a hitch. We would recommend the Alma without hesitation and are so pleased we picked it for our special day.

The best wedding venue!

It’s hard to put into words how lovely our special day was. Not only is the Alma such a beautiful country pub, in a beautiful location but the team are absolutely fabulous!
Emma and the team made everything run so smoothly and the day was as relaxed as we wanted it to be. Nothing was too much to ask and by the end, we were sad it was over!
We could not recommend the Alma enough for a wedding, we are so glad we chose this as our wedding venue!

A perfect day

Amazing venue and we had the whole place to ourselves. Emma looked after us throughout the whole process. Even when we had an issue on our side on the actual day, they handled it with calm professionalism. The food was 10/10 too. We basically didn’t want the day to end!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Weddings & Events Manager

Hi, I'm Emma and I run all of our weddings here at The Alma Inn!

I've always loved weddings, I even wrote my dissertation on the UK Wedding Industry back in 2008! Having been to many, many weddings of friends and family over years, when I joined the company back in 2019 I jumped at the chance to take on the weddings role. It's become a real highlight of my career to help our lovely couples plan, and deliver, their special days.

I'm at The Alma most Saturdays, the rest of the time you can find me at The Fleece in Addingham where I'm General Manager.

Outside of work you'll find me walking my dog Goose, camping and enjoying a nice glass of wine.
