Brockholes Nature Reserve

Thank you so much for making our wedding day so wonderful and unique. It really was a beautiful and magical day. It would not have been possible without all the care and attention that you all gave.

Brockholes is a beautiful nature reserve and the reception rooms are right on the waters edge. There are amazing photo points and they are willing to work around what you want for your day. They recommend local hotels for people to stay in and block out a section of parking for your guests. Caroline showed us around and she was so lovely and helpful. She explained everything and was great with answering questions. We would highly recommend Brockholes as a wedding venue.

We wanted somewhere with a personal feel, not too formal, where we could get beautiful scenic photos and easily accessible for our family to get to. We would recommend getting married at Brockholes as it’s simply stunning. The natural beauty of the place really means that you don’t have to worry about decorations and extras, as the scenery is more than enough. The events team were so flexible with what we wanted and nothing was too much for them. I think our photos speak for themselves…

I'm very happy we chose Brockholes for our venue. It really is absolutely stunning and all our guests commented about how lovely the nature reserve is. The team are also lovely and put up with many, many questions from me both prior to booking and during the planning process!

We started planning this back in October 2020 when the world was crazy! Caroline and the team were phenomenal then, and they continued to be so the whole time. Nothing was too much effort, any tiny question or niggle I had was answered quickly and easily - which for someone with an anxiety disorder made so much difference. The day itself was incredible. The venue is breathtaking. Every single guest we spoke to was blown away by it. As were we. On it's own it is beautiful, but decorated it is truly magical. The food was beautiful, and the handful of dietary tweaks we needed to make were accommodated quickly and easily with staff going out of their way to make sure I knew what I could and couldn't eat. It was beautiful, it was perfect, and we cannot thank everyone enough or sing their praises enough.

We got married and had our reception at Brockholes Nature Reserve in Preston in October 2022. The venue was absolutely perfect and the team at Brockholes were wonderful. From the first email to enquire about availability all the way through to the day after the wedding, the team at Brockholes were warm and caring. They made us feel relaxed and reassured throughout the planning process and the day went perfectly. The site that Brockholes sits on is easily accessed from main roads, but you feel like you're in the heart of nature. The scenery is beautiful and the money paid for using the venue goes right back into the running/maintenance of the reserve, which we really liked. All our guests have come back to us to say how beautiful the day was and how delicious the food was, including guests with quite bespoke dietary requirements. We would really recommend Brockholes to anyone thinking about getting married.

We couldn't have been happier with our venue. Brockholes is the most beautiful setting all year round and we were lucky enough to get the most glorious weather on the big day. Not a cloud in the sky. The staff were amazing in the build up, on the day and the aftermath. In particular Caroline who was always there to answer any questions we had. We had BBQ for our meal and with the weather being as good as it was, the staff served it outside which was a nice touch. The food was so good that I've had a few guests who are getting married next year, asking who our food supplier was. We knew Brockholes Nature Reserve was the venue for our wedding the minute we set eyes on it, we stopped looking at any others after our first visit. Our guests seemed to love it just as much as we do. It's an incredibly special place and we'll be going back whenever we get a chance.

We just wanted to say thanks so much to you and to the rest of the team at Brockholes, who made our day so wonderful! Everyone was there with us along the process and there was so much attention to detail with all the table decorations, beautiful multiple room layout, the addition of the edible flowers on the cake. Also the beautiful, natural wooden centrepieces from Brockholes itself and the beautiful wildflower arrangements from Brockholes too, which went perfectly with our own flowers and colour scheme. The floating venue itself was absolutely incredible and natural and was the best venue we could have hoped for. It was so unique and all of our guests had such an amazing time too. We can't thank you all enough! Finally, we want to thank you, Caroline, for being so supportive! We couldn't have wished for a more encouraging, friendly person to chat to in the planning process. You kept our mind at ease even at the stressful times! Lots of Love

Whenever we drive past the venue signs on the M6, we smile and re-live the fantastic day that we had. Everything was spot on and we had so many positive comments about the unusual venue, the setting, the friendly and helpful staff, the lovely food, the bar, etc. from our guests. It really was the perfect day.

We were ment to get married back in 2020 but covid came and we had to postpone for 2years. 2022 came and so did our big day. Caroline was fantastic and understanding about the whole situation. She even did her best to keep the prices the same as 2020. The food was out of this world. Warning, if you do have the BBQ then be hungry as you get alot. Brockholes for a wedding is amazing with breathtaking scenery to match. Everyone working that day were incredible. So was David and his team from The Big White Events Company based in Chorley. They did an outstanding job on preparing the venue with the Brockholes team. Again, thank you Caroline and everyone at Brockholes for a day to remember. Also, thank you David and your team for also helping.
