Leverhulme Hotel

The Leverhulme Hotel is a unique boutique hotel set amongst the idyllic village of Portsunlight on the Wirral. Back in 2009 Pixsmiths shot a wedding here for an overseas couple. Now they should have been in the ballroom but since the hotel opened in 2008 it has been undergoing a series of transformation. It will be great, once its finally finished. Needless to say the promised ballroom for our couple was not quite ready which was a little disappointing for them. However they still had a great wedding in this beautiful art deco hotel and we really enjoyed the day with them.

One year on we were watching a wedding of  a colleague at Portsunlight Christchurch, their reception was also at the Leverhulme and happily the ballroom was completed by then.  Other work is still ongoing though, the garden area has been landscaped and a new gazebo had recently been installed, which when  settled and the garden around it has matured, will add another useful photographic feature.  A big improvement is the new road, owned by the Leverhulme which links to the rear entrance of the ballroom all the down to the back of Christchurch.  Not only much easier for wedding cars to access the hotel this way but it connects the church and hotel so well it makes it easy for the bridal party to walk in fine weather.  Keith and Lisa decided to do this, and Keith’s brother the morning of the wedding had linked the trees with ribbons and  bows in the wedding colours to indicate the route – a brilliant idea!
