It’s a special moment for everyone who helps make weddings at the Palm House so memorable and a lovely way to celebrate a year that marks 25 years since we reopened our doors.

What makes this award particularly meaningful is that feedback from couples forms part of the selection process, alongside independent expert judging. To everyone who chose the Palm House for their wedding and took the time to vote, we say a huge “thank you”. Being part of your day is a privilege, and your support means so much to us.

Our Victorian glasshouse offers a setting like no other: a botanical collection beneath a three-tiered glass dome, with Sefton Park’s changing seasons visible all around us through our beautiful windows. Having this wonderful building is only the first step however, as it’s our fabulous team who take it to the next level, working with couples to shape and create bespoke and personal celebrations that our unique to them, alongside our trusted catering partners and suppliers who help us bring each occasion to life.

This win comes in a milestone year. In 2026, we’re celebrating 25 years since the Palm House reopened in 2001 following restoration and the community-led ‘Save the Palm House’ campaign. First opened in 1896, our much-loved glasshouse continues to be a place where people come together, make memories and celebrate life’s important moments.

Our weddings and events help fund the charity that keeps the Palm House open for visitors and our local community to enjoy, so when couples celebrate here, they really are becoming part of our continuing story.

Our regional win takes us through to the UK National Final, with winners due to be announced in January 2027.
