Any tips from North West Brides?

Gbutterfly, 19 October, 2010 at 17:15 Posted on Planning 0 28

Hi, north west brides out there!

Any tips for photographers, florists (centrepieces) or firework displays?

We got engaged 18th Sept, and are still on the hunt for a venue, it takes soooo long!

    Hi,

    Im getting married at the Last Drop Village in Bolton. They do packages depending on your budget and you can tailor make them if you want as well.

    Not sure if its a bit far out for you though.

    Hi,

    I''m a Lancashire girl but getting married in the Lake District.

    We did look at Peckforton Castle, MacDonald Portal and Rookery Hall tho.

    Can recommend Lawson Photography, https://www.lawsonphotography.co.uk/, they did my friends wedding in Knutsford and the pics are amazing.

    Good luck with your search.

    Hi!

    I chose West Tower as my venue. I also really liked Meols Hall Tithe Barn but they wouldn't budge on price but West Tower were more flexible. We're going with Lawson Photography as their style of shots look really good - very relaxed and natural.

    Good luck with the venue hunt!
