Historic stately mansion Keele Hall is gearing up for its busiest wedding seasons since the Covid pandemic.
The 19th Century Grade II-listed venue has upped its offerings, hosting its first outdoor wedding last year.
An increased number of bookings and enquiries are coming in, with more expected following a wedding open day taking place on 18 January, between 11am and 3pm.
In recent years, Keele Hall has hosted hundreds of weddings for couples who are drawn to the dramatic setting of the venue which stands in over 600 acres of parkland and gardens.
Emma Woodcock, Head of Events and Catering, said: “With the stunning backdrop of the hall and views out over the lakes and countryside, outdoor weddings is something a lot of couples were asking for and we are delighted to be holding more of those this year.
“It is great to see bookings and enquiries shooting up and we can’t wait to welcome a lot more brides and grooms over the next couple of years. We’d encourage couples interested in holding their special day at Keele to attend our open day or get in touch to secure their desired date.”
Keele Hall and its grounds are licensed to hold civil marriages and civil partnerships with a choice of dining styles and optional extras such as a bespoke trailer bar serving drinks in the Italian Gardens.
Keele’s chefs are passionate about where ingredients are sourced and the carbon footprint for delivery to the venue.
Staff will be on hand at the wedding open day to give personal tours and take any questions from couples.
The Salvin Suite, where wedding breakfasts are held, will be dressed for a wedding and suppliers who work closely with Keele Hall will also be in attendance.
Couple are required to pre-register for the event.
