Last update: December 2025

Step inside The Parr’s Bank, and you’ll feel the history before you’ve even seen the marble pillars or the glow of the stained glass. Built in 1877, this neoclassical former bank has been lovingly restored into one of Warrington’s most breathtaking wedding venues — grand in architecture, yet boutique and personal in spirit.

Lovingly brought back to life by a married couple who have walked the wedding journey themselves, The Parr’s Bank is a building built on heritage but restored with love. Every detail has been chosen with care to create an experience that’s as joyful and seamless as it is elegant. Because we understand that your wedding day isn’t just an event — it’s a memory in the making.

From intimate minimonies for 10 in the Bank Manager’s Suite to grand celebrations for up to 325 guests in the magnificent Banking Hall, our spaces offer a stunning mix of history and romance. Think marble pillars, gold-leaf coving, original tiled floors, and even the old bank vault — each corner steeped in character and charm.

After the celebrations, you and your guests can unwind in one of our 15 beautiful boutique hotel bedrooms. Each room blends modern luxury with thoughtful design, offering the perfect retreat after a day filled with love and laughter.

What truly sets us apart is the personal touch. We don’t “churn out” weddings; we craft them. Every couple meets with us countless times, ensuring we understand every detail down to a T. On the day itself, you can simply relax and soak in the magic — from the moment your guests arrive to the breath-taking room transformation between ceremony and reception.

At The Parr’s Bank, we care deeply about making your wedding feel like yours — unique, elegant, and filled with love.

Moran wedding 23/5/2026

We shared our wedding surrounded by family and friends at this stunningly beautiful hotel , from the minute we booked our wedding we were made to feel so welcome , communication when planning was great nothing was to much , fast forward to our amazing day , a very nervous and stressed out bride , staff took over they couldn’t do anymore to keep me calm everything about the service was amazing nothing was to much , all of our guests stayed in the hotel and couldn’t believe how lovely the rooms were stylish and modern , we had the most perfect day here and would book it all over again in a heartbeat
Perfect venue all under one roof .
Thank you

Swahili-Manx Wedding

The team at the Parrs Bank were professional throughout the weekend. They handled everything so efficiently and with such attention to detail it felt as if everything was exactly when it was supposed to be (even while the bride was running late!).
The food was excellent, with many of our guests saying it was the best wedding meal they’d ever had. We also absolutely loved the venue itself, and on the day it felt like we’d stepped into another world it was brilliant.
It was such a good price for the amount of time and attention to detail from the whole team, it was such a smooth process.

Thank you so much to Leanne, Pavan and the whole Parrs Bank team for giving us all such a memorable weekend in the most stunning venue!

My dream wedding

I would definitely recommend the Parrs bank hotel!! they made my dream Wedding come true from the food to the hospitality and kindness from the staff. Everything was perfect and exactly how I imagined it even more and it all couldn’t have happened without the lovely Leahanne Finch, she was so helpful and understanding and made everything come to life in what I was explaining her. I couldn’t have done it without her. Definitely recommend!!!

The Ngernklom Wedding 💍👰🏻‍♀️

We had our wedding at The Parrs Bank in March 2026 and it’s a day we’ll never forget! The whole team were fabulous from start to finish. From the smallest things to the big things like dressing our tables, noticing the cake was becoming warm so cutting it sooner, helping with the bustle on my dress which broke and even getting me my very own Domino’s for my Main as I’m fussy (😂)
I cannot recommend the Parrs Bank enough, every single guest commented on the atmosphere, the politeness of the staff and the venue itself which is just beautiful. Not to mention the stunning rooms! I never once felt like any ask was too much, nor did I feel overwhelmed because every single thing was taken care of. Special thanks to Leahanne, you were amazing X

A true historical, hidden gem in every sense.

From the moment we walked through the door I got butterflies, we just knew it was the wedding venue for us. Rhys loved the history, the old banking vault with the huge antique steel door, the stunning original floor tiles, the golden chandelier and the story of Pavan and Yaad renovating it as a young family with children similar in age to ours made it all
The more special to us. It was completely different to the rustic vibe we’d originally imagined but it was perfect. The perfect venue for a classy, luxe, grand old money wedding without the old money price tag.

I’m a project manager, communication and transparency matter hugely to me and from the very first phone call Leahanne was responsive, thorough and completely open. You hear horror stories about venues hiding charges and adding costs after the fact and this couldn’t be further from the truth. Everything was clear from the start.

And the team. Leahanne, Yaad and Pavan are not just a venue team, they are genuinely invested in you as people. They checked in throughout the entire planning process and three weeks on from the wedding I am still speaking to both Pavan and Leahanne regularly. They care, not in a business way, in a real way.

Three weeks before our day, Rhys’ family’s flights got cancelled from Australia, due to the war in the Middle East and we seriously considered postponing. Leahanne took it completely in her stride, offered to contact every single supplier herself and when the most important people managed to reroute and get here, she was just as emotional and relieved as we were, like a true friend in every way.

On the morning of the wedding Pavan texted to wish us luck. Yaad was on hand and couldn’t have been more helpful while we were getting ready. And Leahanne? I swear there were four of her on the day. Coordinator, friend, guest and overall hype woman, everywhere she needed to be exactly when she needed to be there and nothing was too much trouble. She managed every single vendor on the day, most of whom had never worked at the venue before, and every single one of them has since sung her praises.

The food was phenomenal. We went for the modern package with a Greek theme and everyone said it beats a stuffy three course meal hands down. There was so much of it and three weeks on our guests are still talking about the potatoes. There’s no wonder the venue is cleaning up at both the wedding and tourism awards.

I had concerns before booking about outdoor space for photos and the lighting inside but I needn’t have worried for a single second. The suite has the most beautiful natural light for getting ready shots. We took a 30 minute walk, got the most gorgeous mix of urban shots and golden hour images full of blossom, even hopped on our childhood bus for some fun photos and came back with images we couldn’t have dreamed of.

As for our guests, one said to me “when I read you were getting married in a hotel I imagined a standard conference room dressed up. I was completely blown away.” Three weeks on they still remember the names of the bar staff.

We booked the entire hotel for our guests and everyone absolutely loved their rooms. Modern, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and the beds are extremely comfortable. And the bridal suite? It is exactly the luxury you need for your first night as a married couple.

I am on cloud nine. I wish I could wake up there every morning and do it all over again. I genuinely consider Leahanne, Yaad and Pavan friends and I mean that. I am more than happy for anyone thinking of booking to reach out and look through our full wedding gallery to get a real feel for how the day looked and felt. It deserves every single person who finds it.

A huge thank you for what was genuinely one of the best days of our

Perfect from beginning to end

We got married here in Valentine’s Day this year after only booking at the end of October. Our initial thought was “oh my God we will never get this done” - fear not the team at Parrs Bank to the rescue!!!

From our very first meeting with Leahanne, the wedding coordinator, nothing was too much of a problem. She immediately put our minds at ease and we knew then we had made the right decision on the venue.

Given the short time scale we needed help with suppliers and Leahanne was only to happy to help, every one that we used was simply amazing.

We had guests coming from all over the UK and Europe and booked the whole hotel for Saturday night and Leahanne helped us manage this process brilliantly.

The food - wow is the only description I can give this. From day one noting was too much trouble for Riad and Sarah and they made adjustments to menus and reassured us constantly everything would be fine. They did not disappoint, everything was out of this world. So many guests commented this was the best wedding food ever.

The venue itself is so elegant and charming. It oozes a certain class without being pretentious. The way the team transform the room from a ceremony to a reception to an evening venue is brilliant.

All of the staff at Parrs Bank were wonderful. They made us feel like the most important people in the world without appearing to be making an effort.

We came to Parrs Bank for breakfast one Saturday morning, we left with a wedding booked that we hadn’t planned! I write this review sitting in the sunshine on the Amalfi Coast on our Honeymoon having just had a reminder from Leahanne that we still have a bottle of Moet there! That’s service. We came as customers and we left with a genuine friendship with the team at Parrs Bank. We couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough.

⭐ Parrs Bank Wedding Venue — A Truly Unforgettable Experience

Our wedding at Parrs Bank was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped inside, we knew we’d chosen somewhere special — a venue with real character, history, and heart. The building itself is stunning: high ceilings, beautiful architecture, and a timeless charm that made every moment feel cinematic.

But what truly sets Parrs Bank apart is the atmosphere it creates. It’s elegant without being stuffy, grand without losing its warmth. On our wedding day, it became the perfect backdrop for everything we wanted — romance, laughter, family, and celebration.

The staff were exceptional from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made the whole experience feel effortless. Every detail was handled with care, and they treated our day like it genuinely mattered to them. That kind of service is rare.

Our friends and family were blown away by the venue. People kept telling us how beautiful the space was, how intimate it felt, and how perfectly it suited us as a couple. And they were right — Parrs Bank didn’t just host our wedding; it elevated it.

We’ll always look back on that day with full hearts, and Parrs Bank will forever be part of our story. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that blends history, beauty, and unforgettable atmosphere, this place is truly exceptional.

From a Warrington Landmark to the Best Day of Our Lives

As Warrington locals, we have walked past The Parr’s Bank our entire lives. Seeing it transform from the bank we always knew into the stunning venue where we said "I do" on Sunday, April 12th, was truly full-circle for us.

The entire team was incredible from start to finish. Leahanne was a dream to work with; she guided us gently through the planning process with expert advice but was never pushy, ensuring our day was exactly what we wanted.

The building’s architecture provided a breathtaking backdrop for our photography. Between the high ceilings and the original bank features, the setting is so naturally grand that you barely need any extra décor—our photos look absolutely spectacular.

Then there was the food. Riad provided a culinary experience that our guests are still talking about. From the delicate canapés to the modern wedding breakfast and the late-night snacks, everything was flawless. Multiple guests told us it was quite simply the best wedding food they had ever experienced.

We also stayed over in the hotel suites, which was the perfect way to end the night. The rooms feel incredibly luxurious while still keeping that unique historic charm we love so much.

We quite simply had the best day of our lives. If you want a venue that combines local history with world-class service, this is it. We can't recommend The Parr’s Bank Hotel and the team there enough.

Amato Wedding Dec 2025

We got married in December 2025 and hosted our wedding reception at the Parrs Bank – it was a fantastic day!
Firstly, what a venue for a wedding. The art deco banking hall is simply stunning! The space is so naturally beautiful and full of character that it required very minimal decoration - which made planning so much easier and allowed the setting itself to truly shine throughout the day.
The layout of the hotel meant that there were separate areas for the drinks reception and for the main wedding breakfast, which helped the day flow effortlessly. Guests were able to move comfortably between spaces, and each part of the celebration felt distinct yet seamlessly connected.
We also decided to book all the hotel rooms, and we’re so glad we did. The rooms were well equipped and ideal for our wedding party, making the whole experience feel relaxed and convenient for everyone staying over. It also meant we could all debrief over a breakfast the next morning too, which was lovely.
The team went above and beyond to cater to our specific drink and food requests. It made the day feel personal to us, and our guests commented on how fantastic everything was.
Finally, we’d like to give a shout-out to Leahanne. Throughout the process, we were able to design our ideal wedding day with her help. On the day, she was able to ensure everything ran smoothly and especially, was able to adjust timings accordingly, when we were let down by a separate transport supplier.
We truly couldn’t recommend this venue more highly - it gave us the most perfect setting for an unforgettable day.

The McQuillan Wedding 29.12.25

What can I say other than we had the perfect day from start to finish, every aspect of the day ran so smoothly thanks to the team at parrs bank.

The venue itself is stunning and from the minute we walked in you are wowed by the sheer grandness of the main banking hall and wow, when it's dressed it's just breath taking. We used the hotel the night before and had all of the rooms for guests the night of the wedding and each and every one of them are warm, cozy and beautifully decorated with guests still commenting on how lovely their rooms were.

We opted for a twilight wedding but had the timeline of a full wedding day which wasn't to much to ask, we were able to tailor the day to suit us which was amazing. Parrs bank offers real value for money and exceeded all of our expectations when it came to what we got for our money.

We had a hog roast for food which was amazing, I wasn't sure wether it was going to be enough but it was lovely and so filling.

We would highly recommend parrs bank for any couple getting married, it really is such a stunning venue with an amazing team there to help every step of the way.

The Potts Wedding October 2025

We got married at this gorgeous venue last year in October. And it was a dream!

Starting from the beginning when we initially viewed the venue back in 2023 (the year we got engaged). When we came to the viewing we was greeted by Leahanne (who will later become our wedding fairy godmother). We had such a warm welcome and was shown around the venue. She talked us through all the different options for packages. She was extremely informative and no question was silly. We looked at some potential dates and what style of package we wanted. The pricing was extremely reasonable for the absolutely gorgeous venue that it is and we got the deposit paid and book it in for 2025.

We was able to book our catering through a recommendation from them as we wanted a hog roast. (The flaming hog) which was amazing aswell!
We kept communication going while we was counting down the weeks untill our big day.

Leahanne was fabulous at keeping us organised giving us tasks on what we needed to do (as we had no idea how to plan a wedding).

The lead up to the wedding is stressful but the venue and leahanne was extremely comforting and helpful.
The day of the wedding was beautiful and perfect and exactly what we wanted. There was a few hick ups that happened behind the scenes but it was handled so well to the point where me (the bride) was unaware and in my own bubble. We felt like we didn’t need to decorate thevenue to much because it just has so much character and charm on its own. And we went for a very minimal wedding however they would be very accommodating if we had brought all the decor!
We stayed the night of the wedding in the bridal suite in the hotel which was a beautiful room and was lovely for me and hubby to sneak away for a few minutes to decompress before getting back on the dance floor.
I cannot recommend this venue enough especially if you plan on having a twilight wedding like we did! They made our wedding so so special and we will always be greatful!

Thankyou again parrs bank and especially Leahanne!

Leahanne and the team worked so hard to make sure that everything ran smoothly and we had the most amazing day possible!

The food was absolutely spectacular, with guests still talking about the sticky toffee pudding! The rooms were fantastic too! Comfy beds, gorgeous decor and wonderful new bathrooms!

The venue itself is SO beautiful and has so much character! It made for the most stunning photos!!!!

Thank you so much Parr’s Bank!!

Excellent venue for a small event

I recently used the small hall at Parr’s Bank Hotel to celebrate my 30th birthday, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The venue itself is beautiful, well maintained, and perfectly sized for an intimate celebration with friends and family.

The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating from start to finish, making sure everything ran smoothly on the day. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent throughout the event.

My guests had a fantastic time, and I received so many compliments about the venue. I would definitely recommend Parr’s Bank Hotel to anyone looking for a great space for a private celebration or special occasion. Thanks to Leahanne for helping make my 30th birthday so memorable!

5 stars in all aspects!

We got married at the parrs bank on 29.11.25 and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The whole team at all levels could not have been more accommodating, friendly and professional. This was something many of our guests fed back.
Leahanne the events manager took away any stresses and was able to facilitate our day in an 8 week turnaround, she truly went above and beyond.
The food and drinks packages were incredible and another talking point for our guests who loved it all.
It's safe to say the venue speaks for itself, and our photos are stunning!
If you're considering booking here, our advice would be do it!

Beautiful venue with helpful staff

We got married in October 2025 and held our reception at The Parrs Bank Hotel, and we honestly couldn’t have chosen a better venue. The building itself is absolutely beautiful — full of character, charm, and a lovely atmosphere that made our day feel truly special.

In terms of value for money, The Parrs Bank Hotel exceeded our expectations. The hotel rooms were clean, comfortable, and stylish, making it a great place not just for us but for our guests to stay as well.

The owners and manager were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout the entire planning process and on the day itself. Their flexibility meant we were able to personalise so many details, which really allowed us to make the day our own. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble.

Overall, we’d highly recommend The Parrs Bank Hotel to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with great service and excellent value for money. It helped make our wedding day everything we hoped for.
