Preston is a historic city in the county of Lancashire, well known for its historical nature and impressive heritage architecture. Today, that architecture is present in some of the very best wedding venues in the area, and we picked eight of our favourites to help you with the wedding planning…

 

1. Ferrari’s Country House Hotel

This family run country house in the Ribble Valley is licensed for civil ceremonies which can include the outdoor Dovecote. There are nearly five acres of beautiful gardens here and 22 unique bedrooms. There are even in-house chefs at this venue. Check it out.

 

2. Beeston Manor

Owned and managed by the Bickerstaffe family and nestled within 140 acres of parkland, Beeston Manor is a Grade II listed barn with oak beams and sandstone walls. It’s ideal for a rustic wedding venue! See it here.

 

3. Samlesbury Hall

This venue transports you to a time of lords and ladies! It’s almost 700 years old and is now a registered charity (which means all the profits they make from your wedding will go back into its restoration). There are 28 ‘Shepherd’s Huts’ for guests to stay over. Read all about it here.

 

4. Wyresdale Park Barn Weddings

Want not one, not two but three barns exclusively yours for three days for your wedding? How about onsite glamping too? Wyresdale Park Barn truly is a one of a kind venue and even comes with a private jetty and wooden rowing boat for that truly romantic experience and great wedding photos.

5. Brockholes Nature Reserve

With breathtaking views and space for up to 110 guests, the fact that you’re supporting vital conservation work by having your wedding at Brockholes Nature Reserve just makes it all the more special. Your wedding will be on a floating village on a lake. Pretty cool, right? See it for yourself!

 

6. The Villa Country House Hotel

Invite a dozen or a 100 guests to this wedding venue. Get ready in the bridal parlour complete with a ‘Hollywood’ style mirror, marry under the mass of chandeliers, and have your wedding photos in front of the roaring fire. Sound like a dream? Check it out.

 

7. Avenham and Miller Parks

The Victorian Grade II listed Avenham and Miller Parks are perfect for weddings. Enjoy exclusive use in and around the Rose Pagoda and Belvedere and in the main room at the Pavilion. You will have your own ceremony coordinator too. Check it out!

 

8. Heskin Hall

And finally, we have Heskin Hall. The beautiful Tudor hall comes with a wedding coordinator, a reasonably priced bar, and packages starting from just £2,400!
