Best Wedding Venues in the West Midlands – Recommended by a Wolverhampton Wedding Photographer

Choosing the right wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make when planning your big day. The venue sets the tone for your wedding, from the atmosphere of your ceremony to the backdrop of your photographs. As a Wolverhampton based wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing beautiful celebrations across the West Midlands. Here are some of my favourite venues that I’ve personally photographed at, each offering something truly special.

Crewe Hall – Historic Elegance

If you’re dreaming of a wedding with a touch of grandeur, Crewe Hall is a showstopper. This stunning Jacobean mansion in Cheshire (just a short drive from the West Midlands) combines historic charm with modern luxury.

• Why couples love it: Its ornate interiors, sweeping staircases, and manicured gardens create endless opportunities for breathtaking wedding photos.

• My photography experience: I’ve captured ceremonies in the Hall’s historic chapel, intimate portraits in the gardens, and fun-filled receptions in the modern event spaces. Every corner of Crewe Hall offers a picture-perfect backdrop.

Branston Golf and Country Club – Modern Luxury Meets Scenic Views

For couples who want a contemporary feel without losing the beauty of nature, Branston Golf and Country Club near Burton upon Trent is a fantastic choice.

• Why couples love it: With its riverside location, landscaped golf course, and stylish interiors, it’s ideal for both large weddings and more intimate gatherings.

• My photography experience: The outdoor spaces provide stunning natural light for couple portraits, while the modern function rooms create a vibrant atmosphere for evening celebrations. It’s a versatile venue that photographs beautifully in every season.

The Mount Hotel, Wolverhampton – Timeless and Romantic

Closer to home, the Mount Hotel is one of Wolverhampton’s most sought-after wedding venues. This Grade II listed manor house combines traditional charm with excellent service.

• Why couples love it: The Great Hall is breathtaking for ceremonies, with its high ceilings and elegant woodwork, while the landscaped gardens make for dreamy outdoor shots.

• My photography experience: I’ve photographed many weddings here, and it’s always a joy. From candid shots of guests mingling on the terrace to romantic golden-hour portraits in the gardens, The Mount Hotel never disappoints.

Final Thoughts

Each of these West Midlands wedding venues has its own character, whether you’re drawn to the historic elegance of Crewe Hall, the modern luxury of Branston Golf and Country Club, or the romantic charm of The Mount Hotel in Wolverhampton. Having photographed weddings at all three, I can confidently say that they each offer unique backdrops that make your wedding photographs truly unforgettable.
