Mr & Mrs Stewart

Happy couple married in June

July 2022

A lovely hotel for a wedding

The Washington Suite is a fabulous rooms for a wedding reception. Big enough to host 100 guests, small enough that it feels cosy. All the staff were incredible, but special mention goes to Rob the banqueting manager who coordinated the wedding breakfast brilliantly. All the guests agreed the food was delicious and the everyone enjoyed their stay.

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Imperial Hotel, Blackpool?

They're all special. However, some do tend to stick in our minds. Many of our staff would say their own weddings, as lots of us have got married here! We are licensed for midnight weddings, so having a gothic steampunk ceremony at the stroke of midnight was really atmospheric and memorable.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Ensure you've booked your registrar first! :)

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

We have lots! Exploding balloons on the dancefloor that go off at a specific time during the first dance, a pair of doves being released on the terrace, we've had an owl as a ringbearer, and a firefighter groom came to his wedding in a fixed-up vintage engine!

Describe Imperial Hotel, Blackpool in 5 adjectives

Romantic, historic, well-managed, beautiful and welcoming.

Where’s the best photo spot at Imperial Hotel, Blackpool?

Whilst the whole hotel is iconically gorgeous, you can't beat a shot on the beach at sunset. The good news is that it's directly on our doorstep!

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Imperial Hotel, Blackpool?

Well, Blackpool is a showbiz town for sure - so yes, we have! Our Derby Lounge is dedicated to the stars of the silver screen (and Royals!) who have stayed with us over the years.

What’s your favourite canapé?

We love working with our couples to come up with great ideas. We do have a delicious canapé menu, but we can also serve traditional Blackpool fayre (mini fish and chips, anyone?) or even an afternoon tea canapé service.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

We can't beat a bacon butty after an event well executed!
