Ladies & Gentlemen, we would like to formally announce that our wedding reception will be held on Friday 18th May 2018 at Knowsley Hall.

The venue is magnificent and is the estate is home to Lord & Lady Derby. We had been looking for a sophisticated and stately style venue that had a wow factor as you went up the drive. Knowsley ticks all the boxes, and is as beautifully kept on the inside as it’s spectacular estate.

Some interesting facts about Knowsley Hall which includes the famous Knowsley Safari Park on the estate. William Shakespeare has stayed there. Queen Elizabeth II has visited, Clare Balding is related to Lord & Lady Derby, Hollyoaks had a mini bus crash there, Gary Barlow surprised a couple by turning up to sing at their wedding and Maria & Eva had a fight in the fountain on Coronation Street whilst Tyrone looked on confused as usual.

We’ve been to Knowsley Hall a couple of times now after I stumbled across it on the internet. I think it’s one of the North Wests hidden gem wedding venues. There are limited days for weddings each year and 2018 is already fully booked so we’ve been really lucky to secure it.

The deposits paid, contracts signed and posted and it’s going to be one heck of a party! The only thing we now need to decide is where we are having the wedding, and whether we should invite Gary Barlow or if he will turn up unannounced again…

It’s T minus 9 months to the big day, and so far we’ve booked the venue, some of the transport, and sooo much entertainment I promise you won’t get bored.

And yes, there is a band, obviously! We would love to know what songs are guaranteed to get you dancing so please comment below and we’ll be sure to get the requests in.

Next stop: Decide where we’re having the ceremony…
