Your West Midlands Wedding - August/September 2023 (Issue 87)

NEW VENUE ALERT Luxor Events Venue is a newly-renovated wedding venue in Sandwell. Owners Sandip and Dalveer Gillar have spent thousands transforming The Regis on Reddal Hill Road into the new Luxor Events Venue. “We can accommodate up to 300 guests in our larger room and have a private car park,” says Sandip. “This building has been open since the 1950s, and the locals have had some great times in the past, but it was time for a revamp and modernisation of the space. We are mainly booking private and corporate events, including weddings, birthdays and parties. Our versatile venue has everything you need to make your event truly unforgettable.” Check out www.luxorevents.co.uk for more information. LET THE PLANNING COMMENCE!
