Lauren & Stephen’s stunning Spring wedding!
Lauren and Stephen couldn’t have timed it better—their wedding weekend at the beginning of May brought nothing but sunshine, blue skies, and the kind of perfect spring weather every couple hopes for. Their day was held here at our Lancashire fully exclusive wedding venue, and after all the months of planning and excitement, it was such a joy to finally see everything come together.
These two had been popping in to see us regularly throughout their planning journey, and by the time the big day arrived, it genuinely felt like we were welcoming old friends. Getting to know them both so well made their wedding feel extra special—not just for them, but for our whole team too.
DAY BEFORE WELCOME MEAL
Not only did they have their wedding day with us, they also added on a pre wedding welcome meal with their nearest and dearest family members. A pre-wedding welcome meal with family is a great way to kick off the celebrations and bring everyone together in a relaxed setting. It gives both sides of the family a chance to meet, chat, and feel more connected before the big day. With all the excitement and nerves that come with weddings, having this time to unwind, share stories, and enjoy a meal can really help set a positive, warm tone. Plus, it's a nice way to say thanks to your loved ones for being there and supporting you through it all.
We offer a few different options for the welcome meal but Lauren & Stephen opted for our crowd pleaser option of Tacos. This option is usually paired with margaritas on arrival and churros to finish but Stephen decided to change the welcome drink to Mojitos! The couple were blessed with a sunny day so we were able to host them in the garden, it looked amazing and the couple were overjoyed!
