Based in Chorley at the heart of Lancashire, I’m lucky to work across some of the most stunning venues in the North West. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a celebration of life, or a naming ceremony, Lancashire has something truly special to offer.
Here are some of my favourite types of venues – and why they work beautifully for different ceremonies.
Rustic Barns with Character
There’s something magical about a barn venue. The exposed beams, the soft natural light, the blend of rustic and elegant. Lancashire has some gorgeous barn venues that work beautifully for weddings and naming ceremonies.
Barn venues offer flexibility – you can dress them up or keep them natural, go traditional or add modern touches. Many have outdoor space too, perfect for ceremonies in good weather with a backup plan if the British weather has other ideas.
Elegant Hotels
For those who want a more traditional, polished setting, Lancashire’s hotels offer beautiful ceremony spaces with all the convenience of having everything in one place.
Hotels work particularly well for weddings where you want that elegant, sophisticated feel. They’re also wonderful for vow renewals and celebration of life events, offering private spaces and professional staff who can support your event.
Garden & Outdoor Spaces
When the weather cooperates, there’s nothing quite like an outdoor ceremony. Lancashire has beautiful gardens, parks, and private grounds that create a naturally stunning backdrop.
Outdoor venues are perfect for:
- Intimate family weddings
- Joyful naming ceremonies where children can run around
- Celebration of life events that feel less formal
- Couples who love nature and want that as part of their day
Just remember to have a backup plan – this is Lancashire, after all!
My Services
Funerals & Celebrations of Life
A goodbye that truly reflects your loved one - their personality, their passions, their humour, and the legacy they leave behind. I'll spend time with you, listening to your stories and memories, then create a ceremony that pays tribute in a way that feels genuine and heartfelt.
Whether you want something traditional with The Lord's Prayer and favourite hymns, or a modern celebration of life with photos, music, and perhaps a story or two that makes everyone smile through their tears - I'll work with you to create exactly what feels right.
Wedding Ceremonies
Your wedding ceremony should be as unique as your love story. I'll help you create a celebration that honours tradition whilst bringing in personal touches - hand fasting, unity candles, readings that mean something to you, and vows that come from the heart.
I am an animal lover, particularly dogs, so if you want your dog to be your ring-bearer - I am certainly up for this!
Perfect for couples who want something meaningful but not overly quirky - traditional with that modern twist.
Vow Renewals
Whether you're celebrating a milestone anniversary or simply want to reaffirm your commitment, a vow renewal is a beautiful way to mark your journey together. I'll help you create a ceremony that reflects where you've been and where you're going.
Naming Ceremonies
Welcoming a child into your family circle with a celebration that's full of joy, laughter, and love. I have a special interest in naming ceremonies for adoptive and foster families - having spent many years supporting these journeys professionally, I understand the unique significance of declaring, "You are ours, and we are yours, forever."
