Did you say yes to a Valentines proposal? 

Valentines proposal

Did you get asked the big question over Valentines Day, and are you now starting to think about the day itself? It might seem daunting, but here Annabel Schwier at the Museum of London offers her insights into the four key elements you need to think about: the guestlist, venue, theme and catering. Annabel’s top tip? Keep it simple and planning will be a piece of cake!

The Guestlist:

Your large-scale Brighton wedding venue – The Grand Brighton

Your large-scale Brighton wedding venue – The Grand Brighton

Every wedding celebration comes with its own traditions and in the case of many Asian weddings, a very long guestlist! Finding a venue spacious enough to accommodate several hundred guests is one thing, but planning for a wedding with multiple ceremonies, specific catering requirements and ultimately delivering that ‘wow’ factor for guests can seem a near impossible task.

This is where The Grand Brighton comes in…

Large-scale celebrations

The Brewery - Large weddings

The Brewery - Large weddings

Every wedding is unique, but one factor which often informs the rest of the planning is the size of your big day.

Here at The Brewery, we often host weddings for large numbers and as such, have collated a list of essentials for brides looking for a more lavish affair.

Intimate ceremonies at The Bridge Prestbury: review

The Bridge Prestbury

If you’re planning a smaller ceremony or vow renewal, this quaint Cheshire venue is a great choice. Victoria Galligan visited The Bridge Prestbury and found the 16th-century venue may have changed over the years, but its tradition of offering excellent service and quality ingredients is far from outdated…

Couples planning an intimate ceremony with a carefully selected guest list will love The Bridge in Prestbury. Situated in the centre of the charmingly antiquated village which is renowned for its famous inhabitants, you can expect to see the likes of sporting favourites Andrew Flintoff or Wayne Rooney running their weekend errands in this delightful part of the country.

Cheshire wedding venue The Courthouse, Knutsford: review

The Courthouse wedding venue in Knusford, Cheshire - restaurant

All rise for the Courthouse – a converted public building in Knutsford which is as unique as it is charming. Our editor Victoria Galligan stayed at the wedding venue and did not feel “guilty” about indulging in a four-course feast. Read her review here…

It’s hard to believe when sitting in the restaurant at The Courthouse that as recently as 2010, the judge was banging the gavel and the defendants were being grilled in the dock. The court lay empty until Flat Cap Hotels restored it and it was relaunched as a venue in summer 2017. Thanks to a sensitively planned refurb, the original fixtures and fittings you’d expect to see in a courtroom are still there and give you the feeling you’re right in the middle of a courtroom drama.
