With its beautiful seaside surroundings, historic buildings, gorgeous gardens and a lovely mixture of traditional and modern wedding venues, Southport really does have something for everyone.
Whether you’re dreaming of a big celebration with all your family and friends, a relaxed intimate wedding or something a little different, there are some fantaastic places to tie the knot right here in Southport.
And as a Southport photographer, I might be a little biased, but I absolutely love photographing weddings in this town!
There’s something about having the sea, Marine Lake, beautiful architecture and lovely little spots for photographs all within easy reach. It gives couples so many opportunities to create photographs that feel personal, natural and full of personality.
So grab a cuppa, get comfy and let’s have a little look of some of the wedding venues Southport has to offer!
The Grand, Southport-A little bit of elegant and glamour
If you’re looking for somewhere with a touch of elegant, The Grand on Lord Street is definitely one to add to your wedding venue shortlist.
This beautiful venue combines classic glamour with modern touches, making it a lovely choice for couples wanting something a little special.
One of the standout features is the Princess Grace Suite, which provides a gorgeous setting for a wedding celebration. Just imagine making your entrance, seeing all your family and friends waiting for you and enjoying that wonderful moment when yopu finally get to celebrate being married!
The Grand is licensed for civil wedding ceremonies, so you can have your day all under one roof.
From a photographer point of view, you have all the amzing backdrop of this venue as well as a small walk to beautiful gardens outside for your wedding portrait.
Southport Town Hall-A Beautiful Place For An Intimate Ceremony
Sometimes you don’t need a huge wedding venue to have a truly special wedding day.
If you’re thinking about something smaller, more intimate and all about the two of you, Southport Town Hall could be just the place you need!
Situated on Lord Street, Southport Town Hall is a lovely, historic building with a traditional feel. It’s popular choice for couples wanting a civil ceremony without all the fuss of a large wedding venue.
The Ante Room holds 20 Guests making it perfect for small weddings. One of the lovely things about choosing a Town Hall ceremony is that you can keep things simple and personal. Invite your closest family and friends, exchange your vows and then head off to celebrate where ever you fancy!
And here’s where Southport really comes into its own!
You’re within easy reach of some lovely locations for photographs. Lord Street has beautiful architecture and tree lined surroundings, while Marine Lake offers a completely different backdrop.
You could even make a little trip towards the seafront and go on The Golden Gallopers Carousel at the Promenade and even enjoy a ice cream!
As a photographer, I love the variety this gives me. I can capture the excitement straight after your ceremony, those big family hugs, the confetti and those lovely natural moments when you finally relax together and enjoy some YOU time .
