Mitton Hall, a historic country house wedding venue added a timeless backdrop, making their wedding day visually stunning. From the ceremony to the reception, every detail reflected the beauty of autumn.
How They Met
Sean and Claire have a sweet love story that started during the lockdown. They met online in August 2020, when things were getting easing with the pandemic. Despite the constant changing in rules after they met, Sean and Claire decided to officially be a couple because they both felt something special. In November 2020 when rules were strict again, Claire temporarily moved in with Sean but ended up never moving back out!
The Proposal
During a holiday to Rome in August 2021, Claire and Sean had a moment they'll never forget. After an amazing dinner, they were walking through St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City when Claire turned around to see Sean on one knee with a gorgeous sparkling aquamarine ring. Sean had been secretly carrying the ring since they left the UK, and of course she said "yes".
The Wedding Venue
Claire and Sean chose Mitton Hall in Lancashire as their wedding venue, as soon as they walked into the breathtaking historic reception area, they had that feeling and knew it was them. The huge roaring fire and warm and inviting atmosphere, just had something special about it and they could picture having those special moments at Mitton Hall. One of the favourite parts for the couple was hearing the residents bar was 24 hours, they were sold.
