The staff, Debbie & Jo, were very helpful to show us around, discuss our plans and talk through what was possible, helping us to create a wonderful day that was well organised and ran perfectly. Flixton House works as a beautiful blank canvass: you can dress the rooms as you like, bring in your own florists, photographer, DJ, entertainment etc. and the staff will help draw up a plan to work with your suppliers and order the day.We booked Flixton House for our wedding at the end of July 2023.
