One Fine Day Wedding

One Fine Day Wedding

ONE FINE DAY CITY CENTRE LIVERPOOL WEDDING

It certainly was One fine day wedding day for this lovely couple’s wedding in Liverpool
So relaxed and easygoing, especially as literally only met in person before the ceremony.  We connected straight away with Aimee and Matthew.
Beaming smiles all around, nothing fazed them and were so accommodating to all.

Friends and family (well most as some of Aimee’s family were in Australia) met at St Georges Hall for the civil ceremony.
Emotional moments as Aimee entered the ceremony and during the vow.

A few groups and portraits by the colonnades of St Georges hall and then the wedding bus took them to their venue – well almost!

One Fine Day Wedding Reception

The coach actually stopped at Oh Me Oh My – a sister venue – and guests not knowing just got off and walked to One Fine Day.
The coach driver did catch up and apologise and offered to bring the bus around but the short walk was fine.
Serendipity though as it gave us an opportunity for some city centre  shots as we made our way to One Fine Day

One Fine Day is a hidden gem of an event space in the city centre.  Perfect for an elegant intimate wedding reception.
Our first visit here and hope to be back again.

On one side is a seating area for guests to relax with drinks.
Between the high columns, a long table was set out, so prettily decorated with parcels bedecked with ribbons and flowers.  It looked so elegant and chic.
An upper mezzanine can provide more space if needed for larger weddings and also provides an overhead view of the wedding breakfast and speeches.

Hay Loft Allerton Manor Wedding

Our first time at the boutique Hay Loft Allerton Manor for a wedding – and we were very impressed.
It’s a cute venue with its twinkly lights and the setup looked stunning.

Wendy and Guanghui chose this beautiful venue for their wedding  reception meal following their ceremony at St Georges Hall
The staff are super helpful and the food so delicious

Ceremony St Georges Hall Liverpool

First off the ceremony at St George’s Hall in Liverpool
Our couple arrived together amidst gasps from the assembled guests of showing stunning Wendy looked in her dress.
Some finishing touches from mum with the veil and it was time for the short ceremony.

The ceremony was held in the Gand Jury room – the largest of the three ceremony rooms used by the Liverpool registrar service here.
The registrars are really lovely, even encouraging a guest who was using the phone to video to come forward for a better view.
Several group photos ensued afterward before the couple could leave – family photos are important to this family.
The ever-helpful staff also found some confetti for the couple

More family pics outside and then some beautiful portraits in the gardens behind before heading off to Allerton Hayloft
We had to make a detail of WEndy’s fabulous angel wings Sophia Webster Shoes – how she walked in them I don’t know!

The Hay Loft Allerton Manor Wedding Reception

The venue was decorated beautifully, with so many little details, and love the tall glass vases for the centerpieces – thank you to venue dressers Thorntonevents
The floral arch by the low arch window made a great backdrop for more informal pictures.

It really is a delightful small venue – ideally 40 -60 guests, although with a bar area and outside terrace for summer weddings could take more.
Our couple were just having a meal here and then moving on for their Chinese part of the day at home.
The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious and prepared to a high standard.

Delighted to be able to cover a Liverpool Elopement Wedding.  Micro weddings and elopements are currently in and we love them!

Our thanks to Liverpool registrar Magda who referred Emma and Jamie to us after their ceremony for two in Liverpool and us as witnesses.
We were more than happy to repeat with Emma And Jamie for their early morning ceremony at St Georges’s Hall in the city centre
They had planned a ceremony in Las Vegas …but we know how the last 18 months have panned out…
So not wanting to delay they set a date for Liverpool and booked us to photograph and witness

They did think it would be in her Rose Room next door – but upgraded as more space to socially distance in the Sefron Room.

Intimate Liverpool Registrar Wedding St Georges Hall

A Tale of Two In Liverpool

A gorgeous intimate Liverpool registrar wedding at St Georges Hall to enjoy.
Right opposite the university student accommodation where they had met – literally across the corridors from each other.

Despite COVID altering their plans, even for a small wedding, due to travel restrictions for family – Magdalena and Adam decided to go ahead with just the two of them
..and us as witnesses!  Such an honour and made for an extra special day indeed. When I say just the two …well of course the registrars as well.
Bu with Magdalena herself being a Liverpool wedding registrar, of course, her colleagues had a few surprises in store for them

In non-traditional style, Magdalena arrived at St Georges Hall on time looking stunning with her makeup and hair done and carrying her dress!
She was quickly ushered to a dressing room to get into her bridal gown!  Just a few mins she reappeared looking radiant.

The short ceremony, even with the perspex shields and rules of placements of chairs, was so personal and joyful for one of their own.
The light and airy Sefton room, with its floor to ceiling windows, was rearranged so more intimate for a wedding for two.
A webcam was set up so friends and family could see a Facebook event Livestream.  Adam carefully checked out best position beforehand and proudly showed off the rings.

Afterwards, Mags and Adam went to the concert room for some pics.  Unbeknownst to them, their colleagues secretly gathered there for a pen guard of honour.
This followed with a confetti exit with joyful beaming faces.  The Liverpool registrars have always been so lovely and it was wonderful to see them looking after one of their own.

Plenty of time for some relaxed portrait pictures, utilising the marvellous architecture of St Georges Hall, including the interior not normally accessible which made for some alternative images.
Time then for our couple to head off for an intimate meal at their chosen Liverpool hotel.  A large family party in Wales will follow next year!

Mags and Adam we wish you so much happiness for your future.  A real privilege to capture, share and witness for you

Showing the rings to the online audience.  Adam had an unusual wooden one.  Mags was to be a wooden one but Adam surprised her with a platinum one

That first look – so important to Mags and Adam

Surprise Claremont Farm wedding: Helen & Steve

 

Surprise Claremont Farm Wedding

 

Town & Country Surprise wedding

Well, what a joyous day for Helen & Steve for their surprise Claremont Farm wedding!
Their friends and family were primed to meet at Claremont Farm for a day of activities for Helen’s special birthday.

Two vintage red buses greeted the guests with birthday specials on the front.
Well these drink laden party buses were there to take everyone to Liverpool for Helen and Steve’s wedding
Even Sisters, mum, and dads had been kept in the dark about the day’s plans.

The looks of surprise and joy on people’s faces were really special to witness.
A first look for Steve and Helen and then a group shot with the buses and time to get going to Liverpool
Helen was wearing a beautiful beaded champagne coloured dress.

This was a day of making memories, and that is exactly what they did.
A blustery wind in town but at least it stayed dry, everyone was in good spirits.
Helen and Steve entered the Grand Jury room together  to cheers with the Star Wars theme- such a joyous entrance
With the cold weather, we opted for a group shot in the courtroom

Afterward, a few groups and confetti and then back to the bus to continue the party!

Claremont Farm has an amazing deli and coffee shop.  The room upstairs was used for the reception and how lovely and informal it was
The food was so tasty, really need to come back for lunch here. Warming bowls of scouse or curry went down a storm for the guests. Perfect for a chilly day.

Bride at Claremont Farm for evening reception

 

Heartwarming speeches were made, Helen got emotional over the loss of family members, wondering how she could stand on her wedding day without them
..but how much worse would it be without her mum and dad.  It was time to get wed and make memories
…and make memories they certainly did.   Love ladders with pictures of loved ones not able to be present were a touching way to include them
No birthday cards or presents were required just for guests to enjoy themselves

A local band had everyone on their feet dancing the night away. ProBooth were also on hand with a selfie mirror to entertain the guests
They were so popular with lots of fun poses to create these memories.
Double  cake delight – one for Helen’s 50th  decorated with animals and a wedding one with a New York City towers on it
..a reminder of where Steve surprised Helen with a proposal on top of the Rock …presenting a rock!

 

Claremont Farm surprise wedding reception

No wonder food is fabulous – heard that head chef runs a good ship and has a fabulous cv to Michelin star level …and fortunately for us love the Wirral.

 

 

 

Wishing you many more years of happy memories, Steve and Helen.  Thank you so much for the privilege of sharing your day.
So much fun and we loved capturing the story of your Surprise Claremont Farm wedding day.

Are you planning a day that is a bit different …we loved to hear about your plans.  Please get in touch

Choosing right Ceremony at St Georges Hall Registry Weddings

St Georges Hall Liverpool Registry Weddings

St Georges Hall Weddings are a favourite with Pixsmiths  and we have covered several weddings here over many years.
The iconic St Georges Hall is such a popular venue for in Liverpool for city centre civil ceremonies. 
We decided to provide some info and tips for your Liverpool registry wedding ceremony at St George’s Hall and which room may suit your requirements best, according to size of your party.

St George's Hall Liverpool

St Georges Hall is an iconic Grade I listed building in Liverpool city centre. 
A fine example of neoclassical architecture at its best.
it has hosted many historic events, from the Beatles to the city’s football club homecomings after league and cup victories. It boasts many first too:-
First air-conditioned commercial building
largest barrel-vaulted ceiling (when first built)
the largest piped concert organ in the world.

Plus a stunning Minton mosaic floor of over 30,000 tiles – uncovered for just a few special occasions and dates
Well worth seeing when on display to the public.

It’s home to the Liverpool registrars  – situated on the south side, Heritage centre.
The first registry wedding took place here in February 2012.
Its no wonder then that’s it’s a very popular place to get married in the town centre.
Especially if you just want a simple wedding and move onto a city centre restaurant or hotel for a reception afterwards.

Choosing your Ceremony room

There are several rooms to choose from and choosing the right room for your ceremony is an important consideration.
Ensure your guests know which room it is too and how to get there – we often get confused guests asking which way they get in and which side.
Especially on Saturdays when multiple can weddings take place at the same time.

THE GRAND JURY

The Grand Jury room is the most popular – a gracious wooden-panelled room that can accommodate up to 70 guests. Available Monday to Saturday
Webcam facilities are available in the Grand Jury Room so you have the option to stream your ceremony, for family and friends who are unable to attend.

Light is from a ceiling skylight – which can cause harsh/mixed lighting in bright sunshine.
It’s situated on the second floor.  The entrance can be made via the Heritage centre and using lifts – best for those who need easy access.
Alternatively, ascend the steps up to the front colonnades to the red-carpeted ceremony entrance.
Wonderful documentary images can be made if the bride opts to walk in this way.

Again there is a lift here to the upper floor or staircase.

Please note access for your cars to be parked on St George’s plateau needs advance booking – a fee is payable for this.
contact 0151 233 3020 to book your space.

Too many guests can mean standing room only at the back for your guests and limited space for your photographer to get overview shots from the back too.
Too few guests and the room could look empty and lack atmosphere.
It’s better to choose one of the smaller rooms available – more on that in a moment.

SEFTON ROOM

For smaller ceremonies, the classically decorated Sefton Room is ideal and holds up to 50 guests. Available Monday to Saturday.

It overlooks the picturesque St Johns Gardens and its floor length windows flood the room with natural daylight – keeps your photographer happy!
and classically decorated. The Sefton Room is just around the corner from The Grand Jury room on the same floor.

Webcam facilities are also available in the Sefton Room so you have the option to stream your ceremony, for family and friends who are unable to attend.

Joe and Claire married here a couple of months ago, Pixsmiths were delighted to capture their ceremony and family groups and portraits afterwards
Here are a few of their pics showing the Sefton Room ceremony and afterwards.

 

 

The grand columns and architecture make a great backdrop for your groups and portraits.
Allow time for groups and portraits here if required.

ROSE ROOM

Is your day just about the two of you, a more intimate ceremony with just witnesses, an elopement perhaps?
Then the  Rose Room is for you. It is situated next door to the Seton Room and seats up to four guests.
Perfect for you and your witnesses and photographer.  This is the room where the registrar normally checks your certificate details prior to the ceremony.

The Rose Room is available Monday to Thursday before 11 am.

GRAND HALL AND CONCERT ROOM (not run by Liverpool registrars)

Of course, The Grand Hall and Concert room are ideal spaces for a lavish grand setting of a wedding – situated on the opposite side of the heritage centre.
A stunning room for your wedding celebration the Grand Hall accommodates up to 600 guests and is adorned with bronze door, marble walls and chandeliers.
If your date coincides with the Minton tiles being on display, how wonderful would that be?

The Concert Hall at another end of the Grand Hall is opulently decorated with statues and chandeliers.  It’s circular in shape and seats 500 guests – 88 for a wedding breakfast in the centre.
