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.

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!

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.

Completely exceeded expectations

Where do I even begin with The Parrs Bank Hotel? From the moment we first walked through the doors, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding – but on the day itself, it completely exceeded every expectation.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The function room took everyone’s breath away, and the bedrooms are equally as beautiful. Every corner of the hotel is elegant and full of character, making it such a special backdrop for our day.
What truly makes The Parrs Bank Hotel outstanding though is the team behind it. The management and staff are nothing short of amazing. They genuinely care, and nothing was too much trouble – they bent over backwards to make sure not only we, but every single one of our guests, were happy and having the best time. The warmth and professionalism of the staff made the whole experience unforgettable.
The food was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. And I cannot go without mentioning the resident DJ, Simon – he had the dance floor full from start to finish and created the most incredible party atmosphere.
We are beyond grateful to the entire team at The Parrs Bank Hotel for giving us the most magical wedding day. We couldn’t have wished for a better venue or better people to share it with.
If you’re considering The Parrs Bank Hotel for your wedding, don’t hesitate – it will be the best decision you ever make.
Thank you so much to the whole team at The Parrs Bank Hotel – you gave us the most magical day and memories we’ll treasure forever.

They anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, ensuring that everything ran seamlessly on the wedding day.

The catering and service staff ( Many Events by Tatiane) were equally outstanding. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and our guests are still talking about how impressed they were with the quality and attention to detail. Every member of the staff was courteous, professional, and went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome.
What truly sets The Parr's Bank apart is its combination of elegance, versatility, and heartfelt service. Whether it was the picturesque ceremony space, the perfect lighting for photos, or the effortless flow of the evening, everything came together flawlessly.
We could not have imagined a more perfect place to begin our married life together. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines breathtaking beauty, impeccable service, and a genuine commitment to making your day unforgettable, The Parr's Bank is the ideal choice.
