Preston Wedding Venue Guides
Preston is home to various venues, meaning there’s almost something for everyone, whatever your preference, but if you’re unsure which venue type you want to look at yet, read on.
Choosing Your Ideal Preston Wedding Venue
Manors, Historic Halls and Stately Homes
- Why they’re great: They provide grand architecture and period features, often set in extensive grounds, offering a sense of timeless elegance. These types of venues can typically accommodate larger celebrations.
- Why you should stop and think: These venues may have higher capacity, but this comes with a higher price tag, even if you don’t have many guests. You may also face restrictions on decorations or noise levels due to the historic nature of some older buildings.
- Why they’re great: Hotels provide professional service and on-site accommodation for guests, but they also have the added benefit that they often offer wedding packages with dedicated wedding coordinators. Hotels offer convenience and a structured approach to wedding planning.
- Why you should stop and think: Hotels can vary in style from modern to traditional, so ensure you find a hotel that meets your aesthetic preferences and capacity needs throughout the venue.
Elegant Modern Hotels
Rustic Barns, Rural Halls and Countryside Retreats
- Why they’re great: More rural venues tend to be full of character, with exposed beams, natural materials, and a relaxed atmosphere, offering picturesque views and a more informal vibe.
- Why you should stop and think: Rural venues typically require more DIY elements for decor and styling, although this isn’t true for all rural venues. You should also consider your guests' transportation needs before booking a rural venue.
Unique and Alternative Venues
- What to expect: Alternative spaces offer something different, reflecting your personality and interests. Unique or alternative venues could include art galleries, museums, or converted industrial spaces, but ultimately, it’s any wedding venue outside the expected wedding venue.
- Why you should stop and think: Capacity and available facilities can vary significantly. It’s unlikely that you’ll find an alternative venue offering a wedding package, so there will be more planning for you, and you’ll also need to ensure the venue can accommodate your catering and logistical needs.
