Wedding in Leeds Tips!!!

Hi and welcome to Hitched! I'm 9 miles from Leeds so if you need any help, just shout. Venue wise, there are lots of golf clubs and cricket clubs in the area who will allow outside catering. I can recommend a few people and places who may be able to help you:-

Dresses - Amazing Brides in Wakefield - fantastic selection at brill prices. Also www.limelightoccasions.co.uk in Lepton Nr Huddersfield. Both of these do menswear hire too.

Cakes - Try Julie at Cakes and Cards in Dewsbury and Sarah's Celebration cakes in Mirfield.

Cars - Yorkshire Wedding Cars

Hope that helps.

Thanks Rainbow that is really helpful any recommendations are welcome especially venues the ones i see on websites dont allow self catering most of them anyway..are you a florist jus looking at your name...thanks again...

Yes, your right - I am! I used to have a shop years ago but now I specialise just in artificial flowers but if you want fresh flowers, I can recommend someone for that too - got lots of friends in the trade. I do cover Leeds though if you decide on artificial.

Hi,

We are based in Bristol but travel Nationwide. We have a number of complete packages that cater for everything.

Thanks guys really appreciate it..makes me calmer..i had never thougt of articfical flower Rainbow but i think with my budget it might be well worth it considering it..Oh debbie was on your website and your jewelery is beautiful...so what kind of packages do you offer Sherrie and are the prices reasonale as l am on a tight budget...

If you want to email me on *****@************.*** I can give you some examples & also prices for flowers, decor etc. We work with your budget.

If you decide you would like to go for fresh, try www.andreabenn.co.uk She can work to a budget and is a top florist in the area. In fact, she teaches floristry and taught me many, many moons ago when I was training at college. I'm not allowed to post my details on here because I don't advertise with Hitched anymore but you can find me on Google easy enough. I'm in Dewsbury which is just South of Leeds. Hope that helps.

Hi

I'm from Leeds and getting married next year I can recommend Farsley Brides for dresses, Turners Florist in Hunslet for flowers, as for self catering venues, I went to a wedding at Woodkirk Country club which was lovely!

Woodkirk Country Club is 5 mins drive from our house - small world!

Ah Rainbow, if I'd known I'd have popped in for a coffee (to sober me up!!!!!!) !

? You'd have been more than welcome!

Thanks! I'll remember for next time... ?

When I got married 5 years ago, we did it all for approx £3500 & that included 2 weeks in florida for the 2 of us (naughty me left my son at home with my mum & dad - he was 8 at the time)

We had a civil ceremony & had the whole thing in the hotel, day & night do.

You can save ££££ if you are either crafty & can make things yourself or have frinds/relatives that can help.

The one thing I would say though, DONT SCRIMP on the photographer. We went for a cheaper option with ours & dont have any nice pics of our big day. Its something that still upsets me now. She was a complete nightmare & I would NEVER recommend her

I do however know of a fabulous photographer if you are after "repotage" style photgraphy - he has done a few of my brides photos this year & they are gorgeous images.

We had our little boy's Christening reception there, it's really nice.

For dresses you might want to try Kirkstall Wedding Warehouse (I'm not sure that's the exact name but if you google it it should come up - actually it might be Abbey wedding warehouse but it's in Kirkstall). Anyway, they have lots of designer samples and stuff and are meant to be very reasonable.

Self catering is difficult. You could try Victoria Hall in Saltaire (between Leeds and Bradford) - it's a fabulous venue and they have contacts for some v cheap caterers, but I think venue hire might be on the expensive side - you'd have to contact them really I guess.

Have you thought about Leeds registry office then a city centre hotel or restaurant? The registry office is in the Town Hall and it's a gorgeous building.

I went to my brother inlaws wedding at leeds town hall a few years ago & totally agree that the building is gorgeous.

I found it to be a bit of a "conveyor belt" type place though. When we arrived for his wedding, there was a couple just leaving & my brother in laws ceremony was so short, then we were ushered out for the next wedding taking place, I just found it a bit too rushed

Debbie I totally agree, that's what put us off too. It's such a shame because it's a lovely place. Thing is, unless budget is really tight, who wants to be stood on the steps having their photos with three other brides?

Mid-week would work better there than a Saturday as it'd be less busy.

There are some local suppliers on my Huddersfield link page, I think Brenda might even be on there. https://www.3djewellery.co.uk/index_files/wedding_services_Huddersfield.htm
