Describe the best wedding that happened at The Derby Conference Centre?
It is hard to pick just one as all weddings we host at The Derby Conference Centre, are as unique as our couples. The best thing about a DCC wedding is how each couple makes the venue their own with personalised touches.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Better to ask twice than stress about something you can get help with! When planning a wedding with the DCC you get a hands-on wedding coordinator to take the stress away, so my top tip is to utilise the experienced staff we have available.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
Dancing shoes! It is a feature we see more and more, and it is such an amazing feature to provide for those guests that need a break from their uncomfortable shoes so they can dance all night long.
Describe The Derby Conference Centre in 5 adjectives
Elegant, Stunning, Versatile, Historical & Unique
Where’s the best photo spot at The Derby Conference Centre?
Our beautiful, expansive grounds. They are steeped in local history and provides the perfect canvas for capturing newlywed memories. And if the weather is not right, our grandiose staircase makes for stunning pictures.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at The Derby Conference Centre?
Not yet, but who knows - maybe some day.
What’s your favourite canapé?
That would have to be our smoked salmon and mascarpone mousse!
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
Our lovely Chef's homemade doner kebabs in flatbreads - they are a 'survivor supper' must!
What is The Derby Conference Centre most unique feature?
This would have to be a tie between our sunken lounge with uplighters that can be set in different colours to match your colour scheme and our beautiful staircase leading to our hotel rooms.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
It would have to be our professional and friendly staff. All DCC team members go above and beyond to ensure you and all your guests have the best day.
