Your Yorkshire Wedding - Sep/Oct 2019 (Issue 38)

LOCAL VENUES 19 Manor House Lindley 01484 504 000 | manorhouselindley.co.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? The landscaped grounds of this stunning manor contain elegant fountains, leafy trees and a perfect view of the famous Lindley Clock Tower. Arriving up the sweeping driveway, guests first glimpse the venue’s dramatic façade with its sand-coloured stone and imposing columns emphasising its heritage. To one side, a sunny terrace entices and between the buildings a courtyard gives a distinctly Roman feel. The breathtaking interiors have been painstakingly designed and executed, with the look inspired by the Far East with contemporary touches and a high-end vibe. TIME TO CELEBRATE! All areas of the building are licensed for ceremonies and are also available for receptions. The pièce de résistance is The Coach House (200 guests). A designated wedding space, its vaulted ceiling and stained glass are combined with an opulent bar and carved paneling. More intimate gatherings can be held in The Lantern Room or The Clock Tower Room. For a quirkier option, the Lindley Cellars channel the prohibition era of dark and intriguing dens hidden from plain sight. The smallest of nuptials can be held in the Hall Bedroom for up to 8 people. We love… All packages include use of the resident DJ for the evening reception as well as accommodation and breakfast for the newly married couple. Free tastings are also available. Standedge Tunnel and Visitor Centre 01484 844 298 | canalrivertrust.org.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? The renovated Standedge warehouse is a one-of-a-kind venue boasting its own charm and beauty. Wild National Trust moorland and pastoral valleys provide a picture-perfect setting while the garden adjacent to the canal is a great spot for a drinks reception. The venue is an 18 th -century Grade II listed warehouse, which was once the canal transshipment building. Now transformed into a contemporary big-day setting, its open-plan layout and simple palette offers a blank canvas for couples to create their dream day, while large windows flood the space with light. TIME TO CELEBRATE! Brides and grooms tie the knot in the top-floor Ceremony Room (150 guests) followed by a reception in the Thomas Bourne Room (180 guests). This large, bright room features industrial columns, timber flooring and a newly refurbished bar. Couples are encouraged to make the venue their own and can bring in external caterers if they wish. We love… Nearlyweds can surprise their loved ones by arriving on a narrow boat, which can be dressed in coordinating ribbons and balloons! facebook.com/wingkayphoto facebook.com/wingkayphoto
