We had the most wonderful day at Heskin Hall.
Lynn outdid herself in every aspect, from the initial enquiry all the way up to the following day, pretty much clearing and boxing up all our event memorabilia (I know of some wedding venues where the wedding couple have had to stay until the early hours tidying up before being allowed to leave) .
She was kind, honest, and helpful with everything to answering general queries that we had (like the normal itenirary of a wedding day) to referring us to local suppliers.
The venue itself is so photogenic. We were lucky with the weather so the majority of our photos were in the picturesque grounds, which is handy. However, if weather is not your friend on the day, there are some beautiful rooms, with wood panneling, a lounge with open fireplaces and vintage chairs, old staircase. Plenty of photo opportunities all round.
The food was delicious, and allergies were well catered for. Unfortunately myself and my husband only managed to eat the set afternoon meal, as during the evening, we were pulled sideways to see friends and family, but we have been told by family and friends this was equally good.
Only one slight drawback, which prevents me putting a full 5 star, was the lighting of the rear car park, as revelers leaving towards the end of the night had to navigate their way to the cars in almost complete darkness. A couple of safety lights could easily remedy this. Apart from that, it was a pretty perfect day!
