Welcome to The Spread Eagle…
First of all let us say congratulations on your engagement! This is the next, very exciting part of your lives together, so relax, enjoy it and most importantly get planning!
A wedding is the most special of days; they can be a small intimate gathering or a large formal occasion, any way you can imagine! How ever it may be, a wedding day is truly unique, a reflection of you as a couple and the love you have for each other.
We feel that your wedding day dreams only start to become a reality when you find the perfect venue. Once you have found the backdrop to your day you can start to piece together all of your ideas and create your wedding masterpiece.
With glorious views of the Ribble Valley countryside framed by picture windows that let the light flood in, chandeliers above the dance floor and feature fire places our Abbey Room is the perfect balance of grandeur and modern country inn charm.
We take a different approach to wedding planning, unlike most venues that offer packages and rules shaping your ideas to fit with their prices we sit down and take the time to talk to each of our couples, meaning we can create a bespoke wedding, tailor made so that it is as individual as you are, exactly what you want.
As your wedding day draws closer the planning should be a pleasure, we are only too happy to help in anyway we can to ensure that your day is one for you and your guests to enjoy and cherish the memory. Please don’t hesitate to contact the team with any queries you may have, no matter how big or small, or to make an appointment.
We look forward to helping you create your perfect day!
