Weddings at Mitton Hall,
Whalley

Mitton Hall sits at Little Mitton in the Ribble Valley, a few minutes from Whalley and Clitheroe - the heart of Lancashire wedding country, with couples travelling in from across the North West.

Mitton Hall is a fifteenth-century manor house set high above the River Ribble on the edge of Whalley, a few minutes from Clitheroe, with views across the gardens and the river. The Great Hall is the room, as striking now as the day it was built, and with eighteen bedrooms on site the whole wedding stays put. For a Ribble Valley wedding venue it has the lot in one place: the ceremony, the wedding breakfast and the party, all under one roof.

The rest of this page is what this room looks like when it's full and I'm in it. Picture yours.

V04 · your day
what I actually do

Your day at Mitton Hall,
hosted start to finish

Set-up, early. I'm there two or three hours before your ceremony, setting everything up before anyone arrives.
Your drinks reception. I join it - mingling, chatting, getting to know your guests. Clocking the aunties and uncles.
The music intros. I get your bridal party lined up and introduce them into the room to music we've fitted together: bridesmaids, groomsmen, best man, then you two. Life in the room straight away.
The wedding breakfast - my main thing. Two performances during your dinner. It's the part of the day that sets me apart, and it's the atmosphere a wedding breakfast doesn't normally have.
Speeches and cake. Your speeches introduced properly, with a line for everyone, and the cake cut looked after. I take care of the whole daytime.
The turnaround. When your day turns into your evening, I pack up and I'm off - job done, room up.

How do you stop a Mitton Hall wedding reception going flat?

1. Plan the middle, not just the party. Between the ceremony and the evening there are about three hours. Dinner and speeches don't entertain themselves - decide who's carrying that time before you book anything else.

2. Make the entrances an event. The walk into your wedding breakfast sets the room's energy for the whole afternoon. It should build, not just happen.

3. Give the room something to do together. A room that sings together stays on its feet together. Collective beats spectator, every time.

There's a whole page of this: how to not have a boring wedding.

Reading the room

Some rooms arrive ready. Some need working, and warming, and a bit of patience. Nothing gets pushed on anyone - it unfolds naturally. Nobody gets singled out, nobody gets pressured - and the end of the night looks the same either way: everybody up, dancing, going nuts. The full story's on the main page.

Sometimes your guests will surprise you.

V13 · questions

Asked & answered

Howard with a couple at a planning meeting

Straight answers

How long are you with us on the day?

I arrive two or three hours before your ceremony to set up, join your drinks reception, and run your whole daytime: intros, two sets during dinner, speeches, cake. When the day turns into the evening, I pack up and leave you to it.

Do you cover Whalley and the surrounding area?

Easily - I'm Lancashire born and based, and Mitton Hall is a room I've already worked. Home ground.

What if our guests are shy?

Nobody gets singled out and nobody gets pressured. People join in without noticing they've joined in. And sometimes your guests will surprise you.
