The Inside Gen on Lancashire Wedding Venues

Welcome back!  I've recently researched many great wedding venues around Lancashire (160ish).  These days venues account for nearly half of the average costs of weddings, so what gives?

The type of costs you incur depends on the type of venue you book and also the range of services provided. For example, halls tend to charge for room hire whereas hotels and restaurants do not.   Also, many hotels offer to manage the whole event whereas halls tend to offer services more selectively.

So before you book be clear on what services you want from the venue!

See below for "The Ten Things To Think About When Booking  A Venue":

  1. Does the venue hold a Wedding License or do you need to book a ceremony elsewhere?
  2. Will you be charged a room hire fee?
  3. Do you require overnight room booking and/or a wedding breakfast?
  4. Are you looking at an afternoon lunch / buffet and also a wedding supper?
  5. Are you wanting to pay for a drinks package for your guests?
  6. Will the venue provide the cake, entertainment, flowers, transport, decorations etc?
  7. Are you looking to book at peak times like summer and/or weekends?
  8. Can the venue cater for your guest numbers?
  9. Do you want exclusivity at your venue?
  10. What kind of cancellation fees are charged?

Lancashire: Coastal or Country Heaven

Hey there, my name is Michael.  I work over at I Weddings In Lancashire Ltd (I WILL)- yes,I know a lot of people say 'I do' -but my Mrs and I - when we tied-the-knot, were told by our registrar that we were going to say I WILL.  So there you go!

We held our wedding in Lancashire and both think that our county has it all when it comes to holding a memorable occasion.  So this blog is basically about trying to make everyone see what we are making so much fuss about!

The great thing in Lancashire is that we are surrounded by beautiful countryside and dramatic seaside locations.  Areas around Clitheroe, the Ribble Valley,  feature lovely, rolling country fine as any in England. Whereas the Fylde Coast: provides quaint, atmospheric locations of sand and sea.  When the sun lulls across the horizon, the entire blue yonder is lavished with ravishing pinks, oranges and lilacs reflecting back off rippling waves.

So you can still obtain amazing wedding photos and a fantastic overall wedding experience in drop-dead gorgeous surroundings even if your venue is on the less extravagant side.
