Unique and Unusual Wedding Venues in West Midlands - England

We had our civil ceremony and wedding reception at royal court. They accommodated us very last minute for the ceremony due to unforeseen circumstances. We are grateful and the room was decorated perfectly. Elka is the real star at Royal Court, she helped us organise everything and brought our dream to reality. Always willing to help and very reassuring. The Britannia suite is a beautifully decorated large space for a party and very reasonably priced. The hotel rooms are aged and could do with some TLC, but other places are available nearby. The outdoor area is great for capturing wedding photos and for guests to decompress.

It was absolutely amazing. The staff was so helpful. Having a wedding planner just makes you get the things you need to be doing more easier I only had 4 months to plan our wedding and it was more than enough they made sure that everything got done and that everyone was happy, I even had my cat with me the whole time which made everything perfect as I didn't want to leave her at home so if your looking for a place that allows pets they do , also it was a spiritual wedding we had our pastor bless our marriage and they really helped him set up the way he wanted.

We had the most magical time. They were with us from start to finish helping to plan with catch up meetings and a menu tasting and the ceremony set up. On the actual date we were there for the whole day from ceremony to reception and the staff were so attentive and flexible to our needs. They even helped phone round every taxi firm in the area to find us transportation when we realised our lift had needed to leave early and we hadn't arranged anything else. I fully recommend Twycross to anyone looking at a zoo wedding, and if you can I would suggest booking an animal feed. We fed the otters and they are so adorable up close!!

Thorpe were brilliant throughout the whole wedding process. From our initial viewing they came across as incredibly professional and really put our minds at ease. Throughout the planning process, there were super helpful with ideas and suggestions and were able to accommodate all our asks. The communication was really clear, and responded to questions quickly. The day itself was brilliant, Beth, Tom & team really took care of everything allowing us to fully embrace ourselves in the day. Suppliers came and arrived without us even noticing! (And a lovely touch was the canapé board just for the bride and groom to make sure we ate amongst the mingling!). But the main point of difference has to the be food. It was delicious and the first things many guests mentioned afterwards, was that they will remember the wedding for the food! Thanks again to the team and I couldn’t recommend Thorpe highly enough.

Standon hall was everything I could have dreamt for in a wedding venue. It was the grand stately home style that I wanted with that perfect modern twist. The staff were wonderful from start to finish and the venue is breath taking. The most stand out parts of the venue for me (other than the obvious ones) was the grooms room to allow my husband to be to get ready at the venue and the children’s play room which allowed our daughter and the rest of the child guests to stay entertained throughout the day. The overnight rooms are stunning and fully equipped with everything that you could need. I can’t thank the team enough and to Joanne for arranging the most beautiful flower displays for us! Many thanks again everyone - Jenny and Sam

Our Wedding Day at Rowheath Pavillion Bournville was a magical day. Everything went smoothly from when we first viewed the venue to the wedding day. Lynn was the lovely lady who oversee’s the whole planning she was amazing no question was too silly and she was always there for enquiries and support. She truly made what could’ve been a stressful time planning a breeze. We had no concerns about anything as we knew Lynn would be there to support us we really are so lucky and greatful to of had her by our side. Mel designed our room I wanted a Beauty and the Beast themed wedding and Mel over exceeded my expectations and created such a beautiful set up. Mel is amazing she sorted everything out and thought of every last single tiny detail the room was breath taking. Sarah was in charge of our catering and she knew what she was talking about she advised us with what type of food would be better with the weather and the type of food people who were invited to our wedding liked to eat. She also catered for picky children and catered for other members of the family with other dietary requirements nothing was too much for her and the food tasted amazing. If you are looking for a wedding budget like we did look no further than Rowheath Pavillion. Not only is it a beautiful venue with amazing photography spaces but also the amazing team that are included who go above and beyond. We had so many complements from our guests about the whole day and how beautiful it was and we couldn’t agree more it was such a magical day.

We are so happy that we chose Warwick Schools Foundation for our wedding. The venue worked really well for a couple like us looking for a mix of ceremony and a sense of occasion, with approachability and practicality. The various spaces we used were just right: the Pyne Room made a great location for our ceremony; the Headmaster's Garden was a beautiful spot for drinks; the Halse Pavilion and its large terrace overlooking the well-kept grounds were perfect for our wedding breakfast and reception; and we found several scenic spots around the school for our photos. The whole events team were superb and we were left with the feeling that everyone really wanted us to have the best time - Claire helped us plan the day meticulously and was keen to try to understand our vision and to meet our requests, and Julie worked tirelessly to make sure that the day ran very smoothly. The quality of the food and drink was excellent, as was the level of service. Our guests were glad to be able to make use of on-site accommodation and seeing them at breakfast the next day added to the fun. And the 20 or so children present were accommodated very well and had a great time playing in the large spaces, as you might expect! We felt like we received very good value and we would highly recommend!

The perfect wedding venue! As soon as we walked in we loved the space - the light, the decor, the features! Kika and Naomi were so helpful and always friendly when planning the wedding in the months leading up to the day. Nico, was superb on the day and the day before making sure everything was perfect and ran smoothly for us. All the staff at the venue were lovely and did a great job! We chose from the Indo-Asian menu and our guests really complimented the food and the evening hot dogs. Nothing was too much and we had the best day here. Thank you

We had our civil ceremony/reception/evening reception here. This was our perfect venue; a beautiful historic building. Excellent service, food, accommodation... The staff were brilliant (especially manager Brian) and couldn't do enough to make our day exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended!

We held our wedding reception here in January, it was a lovely sunny day and we got some fantastic photos because the Vale Golf and Country Club is set in beautiful surroundings. They were also kind enough to accommodate us having our engagement photos here during the summer. The accommodation was great, as well as the onsite cabins it’s not too far from the Premier Inn and the Wood Norton for guest accommodation which makes it perfect for guests. Special mention has to go to the staff who were all, without exception, clearly very experienced in hosting weddings, they made sure everything ran smoothly and couldn’t have been more helpful. The food was truly amazing, there was a good choice and they catered for our guests who had quite niche dietary requirements (gluten-free vegan ??) without any trouble whatsoever. We’ve been back quite a few times since and I’d highly recommended The Vale to anyone.
