There are many fabulous venues in and around Liverpool. Places and spaces to suit every couple, style of celebration, number of guests, and budget, I know I'm probably not supposed to have favourites, but I must be honest and admit that I do. This is just one of my favourites (there are quite a few more amazing wedding venues in Liverpool, including Hope Street Hotel and The Sefton Park Palm House)

Opened in 1911 as the headquarters to the Royal Liver Assurance Group, the Royal Liver Building holds significant historical and cultural importance to the city of Liverpool, not least as adorning its towers are the mythical Liver Birds, said to protect both the city and sailors coming in to port.
The tallest of the Three Graces (once the tallest building in the UK - now only the fourth tallest in Liverpool). But still surely THE most iconic building on the Mersey waterfront (I’d argue in the entire city centre - although we do have quite few fabulous contenders!)
The birds are named Bella and Bertie, looking to the sea and inland, respectively. Popular legend has it that Bertie looks out over the city to protect its people, and Bella looks out to sea to protect the ships and sailors coming in to port.
I am lucky to live less than fifteen minutes from the city centre and have visited the Liver Building on many occasions - there's a great cafe on the ground floor and I've often popped in for a latte (and cake!).
I've also been blessed to lead many wedding ceremonies in this amazing space. I love being at The Venue at the Royal Liver Building, the whole team are friendly, welcoming and great at their job!
The team at The Venue, and their partners, work tirelessly to ensure that every wedding is magical and it's always a joy to work alongside them. There are several spaces available for your ceremony and celebration, each with their own character and charm. If you would like to know more, check out their website: Royal Liver Building Venue

Hi, I am Lorraine Hull, an award-winning Celebrant, based in Liverpool.
I am most usually asked to conduct ceremonies in North-West England and North Wales but I am happy to travel anywhere within the U.K. or abroad.
At the risk of shouting (and sounding extremely cheesy) "I LOVE MY JOB!".
I really love getting to know the couples and families that ask me to be part of their special celebration, whether that is for a Wedding/Civil Partnership, Renewal/Reaffirmation of Vows, Naming/Welcoming, or Celebration of Life/Funeral
I love hearing, writing and telling love and life stories (and also finding out about hopes and dreams - which are the stories of the future!)
I love to create and conduct unique, meaningful ceremonies that are perfect for each couple, individual, and/or family.
I love helping to create and celebrate happy and poignant moments, which form memories that will last a lifetime (that also includes the memories that I get to keep too - what's not to love?)
I believe that ALL people (and animals) should all be treated kindly, fairly and with respect.
I think for myself and act for others. I advocate anti-racism, the appreciation and celebration of diversity, dignity, justice, equity and equality for ALL through everything that I say and do: Love is Love, Family is Family, Life is Life.
You may like to know that I was trained to the highest level as a Celebrant and have continued my professional development. I hold Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance. I adhere to a strict code of conduct and I am committed to identifying, developing and sharing best practice with my Celebrant colleagues, so that we can all be the best Celebrants that we can possibly be.
