What to Look for in a Wedding Venue
Location
When it comes to the location of your wedding venue, you need to consider two things: what does it look like, and how easy is it to get to? Picking the most breathtaking building in the country doesn’t help if it’s next to impossible for your guests to find the place. Conversely, a convenient location shouldn’t mean you have to skimp on style. At Allerton Manor, you get the best of both worlds—a beautiful, Grade II Listed Building that is easily accessible from the A562.
Support
Some venues provide you with a place to hold your wedding breakfast and reception and not much else. While you might be able to get such a location at a cheaper price, it leaves you with a lot more work to do getting it ready for your big day. When you book your wedding with Allerton Manor, you get our whole team on your side, led by one of our experienced wedding planners. They can assist you with everything from menu choices and decoration to timing and entertainment, making sure everything goes the way you want it.
Food and drink
You want your wedding guests to be well-fed and suitably refreshed throughout the day because nothing will put a damper on their memory of your wedding quite as quickly as an empty stomach. Does your venue offer the sort of food you want for your big day? Can they accommodate special dietary needs? Do they serve food for the evening reception as well as the wedding breakfast? At Allerton Manor, the answer to all three questions is yes—and so much more. Your wedding planner will help you choose from our various menu options, ensuring you have a food and drink selection that meets all your requirements.
Capacity
This is a big consideration—you need to know that the venue you want can hold the number of people you plan to invite. The typical British wedding includes between 70 and 140 guests over the daytime and evening receptions, which puts us in the perfect category for most couples. Our Hay Loft function suite hosts 80 people for a sit-down wedding breakfast and up to 120 for a more casual evening do.
Photo opportunities
Capturing your wedding on film is a big deal, and it’s important to have an attractive backdrop for your first photos as a newlywed couple. With Allerton Manor Golf Club, you couldn’t ask for more pleasing surroundings. The building and grounds are stunning inside and out, giving you plenty of opportunity to get the perfect shot for a permanent reminder of your special day.
