Florists
There are so many wonderful florists based in Manchester and across the North West, but to name a few:
Prop Hire
Sid & Olive
Whatever it is that you need, whether it be garden games, vintage china, general decor or just a seating plan, look no further than Sid & Olive they have got you covered. A duo covering the North West with a simple love of weddings.
Rustic Hire have most things you may need seating, tables, vintage cool boxes a statement leather sofa or just the odd milk urn. They have a passion for furniture, design, restoration, woodwork and sustainable living all of which can be seen by the selection of characterful items they have collected to help create your unique event.
Venues
Butley Priory, Suffolk
North West
If rustic charm is what you are after, look no further than The Barn at Wyrsedale Park. Complete with a cool old fashioned tractor, this venue doesn’t just deliver on the charm, it manages to tick the elegance box too! It’s even got a fire pit and an option for your guests to camp over what’s not to like.
The Tithe Barn and Coach house on the Meols Hall Estate is a statement venue set in acres and acres of beautiful countryside with beautiful wide open skies (and I love a big open sky… I am from East Anglia after all!).
The cotton industry well and truly put Manchester on the map, and the old mills remain very much a part of the Manchester we know and love today. Did you know you can get married in some of these iconic buildings. Check out The West Mill.
What can I say, what an estate Combermere Abbey is! A wedding venue with self-catering accommodation.
This venue is found on the Tatton Estate. A relaxed setting with a relaxed vibe. Get married in front of the picture perfect farmhouse surrounded by the idyllic gardens and then party into the evening in the barn.
For fans of Peaky Blinders it’s a no brainer, but it’s not just a venue for fans of the show. From the beautiful walled gardens the grand hall and the cute little chapel, it’s got everything you need! Go check it out even just for a coffee and a cake in their amazing tea rooms.
Well for me this is just a stone’s throw from my home (so crazily convenient), but it’s also a stunning venue, a Tudor Manor House, complete with a grand fireplace in the entrance hall, a chapel and steeped in history. There’s even some stocks just in case the best man gets carried away with his speech. All in all Bramhall Hall is a perfect setting for a wedding at any time of the year.
Across the UK
Butley Priory
This is such a unique setting, originally a flint monastery, it now hosts weddings and other events in archers of the Suffolk countryside.
