Fabulous venue

Got married here on 30th August and it was such a wonderful day. Our wedding co-ordinator was absolutely perfect and made the day faultless. She was with us the entire day and catered so well to our friends with dietary requirements. The decor and food was perfect, and nothing was too much trouble. We even had a card and chocolate left in our room from staff as a congratulations. I would 100% recommend this venue for a wedding.

Saturday 19th August 2023

We had our wedding here on 19/08/23 & couldn't thank the team enough for their help. Myself and my husband would like to add a special shout out to India & Jodie. The two of you were nothing but attentive to myself the night before the wedding & you made sure everything went to plan. We had an amazing day and night celebrating amongst our friends and family, with the staff being incredibly polite and smiley. You are a credit to St. Helens!! Also I would like to give a shout out to the manager, Ani, as he was incredibly kind. You're all amazing and the day went well, no mix ups and incredibly attentive to those with allergies. Thank you so much for making our day so special!
