Unique and Unusual Wedding Venues in North West - England

We wanted to say thank you for making our wedding day so special. It was everything we wanted! The brewery was set up perfectly and whoever set out the extra table for the flower arrangements is an absolute star. They looked perfect where they were. The signage was perfect and just what we wanted, and when the main sign was damaged they offered to print another for us to keep at home! The little table signs were so wonderful and the self pour pumps were really appreciated! The favours were very well received and the bouncy castle and garden games brought some fun to the day!! And the donuts and sweet stand were just perfect - a particular highlight for the boys! Matt and the team were absolutely fantastic. We really appreciated Matt as our master of ceremonies - all the more because we feel we know him quite well by now! The day ran smoothly thanks to both your organisation and his implementation of it. The team working on the day were thoughtful and attentive and we wanted for nothing. Thank you to them for indulging our boys and their copious requests for fizzy drinks!

We are incredibly happy that we chose Allan Bank for our intimate wedding! The venue is the most wonderful place, set in gorgeous surroundings, with beautiful views of Grasmere in all directions. Everyone at Allan Bank and Annabel Candler (the wedding manager) could not have been more accommodating to our needs! We even had our bouquet and button holes made by the NT gardeners, from flowers grown onsite. Allan Bank will always hold a special place in our hearts and we look forward to visiting again in the future and looking back on our wonderful day. Thank you so much!

We loved Grub so much we planned our wedding a year earlier than intended to make sure we could use them! After getting engaged at Christmas 2023 we went to a wedding fayre at Grub in January 2024 and immediately fell in love with the place. At the time they weren't booking weddings beyond 2024 so after a quick discussion, my partner and I took the plunge and grabbed a date in July before it was gone! It was absolutely the best decision we could have made. Working with Caro and Grub was such a smooth process and they were always available for questions or advice. It's such a cool venue with oodles of personality and colours with super fun graphic photo spots! All of our guests absolutely loved the relaxed vibe and all the staff looked after us so well. Huge thanks especially go to Caro however who made our day go so smoothly, they were always there to grab us a prosecco, check in with us and keep us on schedule. We had several dietary requirements as well as a lot of kids and the team were so accommodating and made all the kids feel so welcome! I've seen they are now taking bookings for 2025 and we'd recommend you get in quick! 💙

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at the Floral Pavilion Theatre, and the experience was nothing short of magical. From the moment we began planning, Jaqie, the venue planner, demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine enthusiasm for creating the perfect day. Her attention to detail and personalized approach ensured that every aspect of our celebration was meticulously organized and flawlessly executed. On the day itself, Lewis and Josh, the dynamic duo responsible for the delivery of our wedding, truly exceeded all expectations. Their seamless coordination and dedication to ensuring every element ran smoothly were evident throughout the event. From the breathtaking floral arrangements to the exquisite lighting and sound, every detail was executed with precision and elegance. The Floral Pavilion Theatre not only provided a stunning backdrop for our special day but also a team of dedicated professionals who went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality. The combination of Jaqie's exceptional planning skills and the on-the-day expertise of Lewis and Josh created an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. We cannot express our gratitude enough for the exceptional service and unparalleled commitment to excellence displayed by the entire team at Floral Pavilion Theatre. If you're searching for a wedding venue that seamlessly blends beauty, professionalism, and a touch of magic, look no further than this remarkable venue.

We just want to say a MASSIVE thankyou....from viewing the venue, any help we needed, all the way up to our big day, everything was perfect! Also, we want to say - the staff at The Landmark are something else, they were all fantastic. Always on hand, beautifully well mannered and polite to absolutely everyone. Will 100% recommend it to anybody, it was all beautifully done. To all at The Landmark, it was very much appreciated!! Thank you again from, the new Mr & Mrs x

Well where do I begin! What a whirlwind few months it’s been! From our initial enquiry in July, up until our wedding day in September, the team at The Deck 747 have been amazing. We had been so undecided about the type of wedding we wanted but when this venue came to our attention it just felt like it was meant to be. The team were not fazed by having to plan the whole day in just 9 weeks. We had so much confidence in them and they were so proactive and supportive throughout. There was genuine excitement and passion to ensure we had the best day! And we certainly did have the best day, a truly unforgettable experience for ourselves and our guests. Our guests loved the simulator and flew to many destinations around the world! The experience was so much fun and so unique…signing the marriage register in the cockpit and then photographs on the air traffic control tower! Thank you to everyone who made our day so special!

We had our day on the 15th September, it was perfect. The events team were so helpful and the day went perfectly. I forgot to update them on the last min changes and they didn’t flinch and sorted it without hassle. The hotel is lovely and ideal for guest to stay. The food was lovely and plenty of it. We would certainly recommend the tytherington club as its a beautiful location and great value for money.

We were meant to get married in Vietnam in 2020, so when the world had other plans we knew if we were getting married closer to home we wanted it to be just as special. Getting married in the Bombed Out Church was absolutely perfect for us. We had planned on my brother ‘marrying’ us in Vietnam, so we continued with that plan here in the UK, and the team were more than happy with that. The team at the Bombed Out Church were fabulous from start to finish. They asked questions we wouldn’t have thought to answer, offered a range of services with no pressure whatsoever and were always prompt and professional with their responses. We couldn’t have asked for better people to help arrange our special day, and would do it again in a heartbeat.

From the moment we visited Lilymere we fell in love, and knew we had to have our wedding reception there. No where else compared. The scenery speaks for itself. But what cemented our decision to book Lilymere was the absolute warm welcome we received as soon as we met the team. From start to finish they were friendly, attentive and wanted to help in anyway possible. When it came to vendors visiting Lilymere, we didn’t have to worry about being there or organising it. We simply put the vendor in contact with Richard and he made sure they were looked after. All commented on how beautiful it was and how warmly they were received. Not having to organise calls for each vendor took a huge stress off us and we knew they were in safe hands. The team continuously worked hard behind the scenes to make our dream wedding come true. There were several perfect spots for the tipi at Lilymere but in the end we chose to have ours on the front lawn and, despite the torrential rain, the views were still stunning and the tipi still sturdy. On the big day, our drinks reception vendor broke down and weren’t there to meet our guests! Julie and Lucy were quick to offer a hand and, while we were getting photos, made sure our guests didn’t even realise there was a problem. We don’t know what we would have done without them! What’s worth mentioning too is that it’s a gated estate so there will be no one crashing your wedding! The next day Richard was on hand to help in anyway possible with the dreaded clearing down and made it utterly seamless so we could get it done quickly and not have to worry about moving the rubbish on. As well as booking the land, we also booked the boat house overlooking the lake. We stayed the evening before and the evening of the wedding, and we’re so glad we did. The boathouse is incredible. Beautifully presented, warm and stunning views across the lake. It doubled up as a place where the bridal party got ready the morning of the wedding, and later the grooms party could change for the reception. It has all the amenities you could want; including a some thoughtful treats from the team! Additionally, it proved super handy having it throughout the day for photos that still encompassed the views, but provided shelter in the rain too. In summary, if you want the most beautiful back drop in the Lakes, with a team that will be on hand to support you, there’s no need to look any further than the Lilymere Estate.

We had the most perfect day. Andrea, Emma and the team were amazing! Can’t speak highly enough of them. The setting is picturesque. Canon Roger Smith, Wendy and Adrian are lovely and helped make our day so special.
