So… Why should you choose Whirlow Brook Hall as your wedding venue?
As i mentioned, the Hall itself was built in 1906, and over the past 120 years it has maintained its unique charm, including its original woodwork and amazing fireplaces that give the venue so much personality. You’re not starting with a blank canvas, but the neatral interiors do leave you plenty of room to make the space fit the theme you’ve chosen for your perfect day. Whether you’re dreaming of a soft, romantic theme or a darker seasonal theme, the space is easily styled to suit whatever your vision is!
Whether you want a small, intimate wedding with only your close friends and family; or a huge day where even your best friend’s second cousin’s dog is invited, Whirlow Brook Hall can accomodate many types of weddings and civil ceremonies. For smaller ceremonies, the Oak Room can accommodate up to 80 guests. It has original wooden panelling, and a much more intimate and traditional feeling. Larger ceremonies can take place in the Garden Suite, which looks out over to the grounds through its stunning floor to ceiling windows, bringing plenty of natural light into the room. They can host both your ceremony and reception, which makes the day feel much simpler for you and your guests without having to do a bunch of travelling… which makes it ideal for throwing a great party and (hopefully) remembering the event the next day!

But lets also talk about the 39 acres of land…
One of the most amazing things about this venue is the grounds it sits on. It has a huge 39 acres of landscaped grounds, giving couples, friends and family plenty of opportunities to spend time outside having fun, snapping photos, and making memories.
For wedding photos specifically though, this is a massive bonus. While the grounds are stunning in spring and summer as the flowers bloom and the light dances through the leaves on the tree’s, there’s also something incredibly special about having an autumn or winter wedding here too. Soft afternoon light, darker foliage and an autumnal pallete? Gosh, sign me up!
