Albert's Standish is a beautiful and stylish wedding venue in the quaint and picturesque village of Standish near Wrightington, Lancashire. This picturesque property offers a scenic space to celebrate both ceremonies and receptions. Its semi-rural location offers a sense of escape from your everyday life, setting the scene for an unforgettable celebration.

Who is Albert?

Albert is Albert Clapham, the uncle of the owners who opened the first Alberts - Alberts Shed in Castlefield in Manchester in 2004. Alberts Shed was built on the site of the shed used by Uncle Albert to store his tools during the conversion of Dukes 92 in the early 90s. He agreed to move out as long as the restaurant was named after his shed and the name is still with us!

Absolutely perfect

I just had my wedding at Alberts Standish. Ellie my wedding co-ordinator was absolutely fantastic! She could not do enough for us and was so easy going and flexible and literally went above and beyond for us throughout the planning stages and on the day! The venue was beautiful and was not over priced. The food was gorgeous! Nothing was too much trouble. Whenever I emailed Ellie, she would get back to me really quickly. I could not have asked for a better venue! It was so modern and light and everyone had the best time ever!

Amazing venue

We had a wonderful August wedding with Alberts. They were brilliant from start to finish, especially with having to postpone due to covid. I cannot recommend the BBQ enough if you don’t want a traditional sit down meal. All of my guests commented on how wonderful the venue was and how helpful the staff were. They really did make it the best day of my life.

Best venue ever!

I booked Alberts Standish for my wedding and I am so happy that I did! From start to finish, nothing was ever too much and they bent over backwards for me. Elle was amazing and whenever I messaged her, she got back to me really quickly. The price and what was included was very reasonable and the options were so flexible. On the day Elle went to so much effort to make our day so special. I may be biased, but I have been to a lot of weddings and none have topped ours!

Wonderful Wedding

Our Son & his now Wife chose this venue to host their Wedding. Ellie was the Wedding planner & was absolutely fantastic to work with & made everyone feel comfortable & confident about the whole event. Ellie gave great advice & made everything easy, even coming to the rescue a couple of days before the event for something we decided we needed.
Dani was great on site & together Ellie & Dani seemed to work really well & the whole Team at Alberts were absolutely fantastic. We had a sumptuous Wedding breakfast in the Library room as our Son & his Wife wanted an intimate occasion with only close Family & friends & it was a fab room absolutely ideal for what was wanted.
The evening was a much bigger event & this was held in the Almond room with it's own private entrance. Again we couldn't have wanted anything better & we also used Ozzy James events company to dress the room & add things like a Selfie Mirror & personalise the Dance Floor. Ozzy & his Team did us proud. We hired the Courtyard which was a great space for everyone who needed to take in some air
The Buffet in the evening was glorious & everyone commented on what a marvellous time they had, great venue & fab Team at Alberts
If you're looking for a Wedding venue we would all definitely recommend this place to help turn your Wedding into a Dream Wedding!
