West Tower

The Setting

Set in eight acres of rolling Lancashire countryside, less than an hour from the cities of Manchester and Liverpool, West Tower is an impressive country house wedding venue. Built in 1785 as a private residence with sweeping views over the surrounding fields, today it is an exclusive-use venue, retaining the style and comfort you might expect to feel when welcomed in to a beautiful home.

The Vibe

On arrival at West Tower, you can relax in the knowledge that your entire wedding will take place under one roof. The house is licensed for ceremonies both inside and out, in the light and airy ballroom with its floor to ceiling windows, or outside on the lawn under the romantic ceremony pagoda.

After saying your vows, join your guests for drinks and canapés in the Cellar Bar, or in the great outdoors, enjoying some fabulous photo moments beside the wishing well, on the elegant steps leading up to the house or on the picturesque lawn.

Dining takes place in their stunning Ballroom with far-reaching views over the unspoiled countryside – its neutral wooden floors, ivory walls and delicate chandeliers lending themselves perfectly to your chosen colour scheme. At West Tower, they pride themselves in offering an exceptional standard of dining and service, their talented chefs creating your menu, perhaps using their dedicated wedding package to inspire the choices for your wedding breakfast.

After dinner, they invite you to enjoy refreshments in the Cellar Bar or on the lawn, while they prepare the Ballroom for your evening celebration. The space lends itself perfectly to an evening party with its spacious dancefloor and stylish bar area. As the sun goes down, you might decide to serve a hog roast or BBQ, or a tasty buffet in the Leather Lounge with its cosy armchairs and open fire. And, when your special day draws to a close, they can accommodate up to 45 of your guests in their stylish bedrooms. Seven of these bedrooms are in the main house and boast king size beds, beautiful views and elegant, contemporary décor. Each is named after a Champagne house – our favourite being Dom Perignon, the bridal suite with four poster bed and roll top bath – an idyllic setting for your wedding night!
