Caroline & Phil's Wedding Story
Our search for our wedding venue began with a very open mind, however, we did have some strong key requirements regarding the style of wedding we wanted, and that helped us in our search.
One of these was to have all our guests present for the entire day - all 94 of them, with no distinction between day and evening guests. We wanted our wedding to reflect our personalities and who we are as a couple: to be fun, relaxed, and not overly formal or serious
We envisioned a ceremony of love and emotions, followed by a casual wedding meal and ending with an unforgettable evening of pizza and some serious partying. These ideas steered our search to find the perfect venue.
Mytton Fold just ticked all the boxes for us; it was the bright, airy and modern venue we were looking for We booked the venue just over 12 months prior to our wedding date.
With the style of wedding we had hoped for, we were very fortunate to find that Mytton Fold has recently created a 'twilight' wedding package - this meant a later ceremony which ultimately skipped the more formal three-course meal, and allowed for up to 100 day guests.
We knew this was the right package for us; we had our ceremony at 3pm, which gave us a very relaxed morning getting ready, followed by canapés, a glass of fizz and an American styled hot buffet. Even though our approach was slightly different, it was no less of a wedding.
Mytton Fold has it all; it is a gorgeous exclusive venue, complete with bridal suite, refurbished rooms, a bridal prep room, a conference room offering private hosting and dining if so desired and a resident bar and restaurant that you can visit or book at any time - not just for your wedding.
Most importantly, we were made to feel welcomed and excited about our wedding.
The grounds at Mytton Fold are stunning, with views overlooking the Ribble Valley and secluded areas to take in the scenery. There is an abundance of space, with gardens and long driveways, pathways and perfectly positioned stone benches.
The team at Mytton Fold were outstanding from the minute we booked right up to the wedding and even beyond. As a venue that hosts multiple weddings and events on a weekly basis, they never failed to make us feel love the most special bride and groom.
We were greatly appreciative of the consistent communication throughout - any email, phone call or meeting never felt a burden. Paris, Lisa and the team were very accommodating and took on board all of our ideas. We wanted to schedule in a first look together on the morning of our wedding, to help with pre-wedding nerves, despite this untraditional approach we felt supported by Paris and the tea, in our decision, and it was in fact one of the memorable moments of the day.
Phil also had a few other ideas in mind - pizza and jäger bombs. Without hesitation, Mytton Fold went above and beyond to secure a pizza van vendor that perfectly suited our needs and ensured they were stocked up on jagermeister.
The team were extremely accommodating to our guests also and we have received amazing feedback regarding how lovely Mytton Fold was and how great the day was overall. We have received specific feedback from a guest on how appreciated they felt when their gluten intolerances were accommodated for, and they didn't even need to ask.
