Wilshaws

Venues

We've been operating and managing wedding venues since 2008, providing exceptional service. Wilshaws aims to be the favourite choice for quality and value.

 

We seek to offer unrivalled service at unbeatable value in the wedding market.

 

With attractive on-trend venues, all-inclusive packages, no venue hire and genuine added value: we're the couples' choice.

Our business model delivers a compelling customer proposition with a product that is current, fresh, exciting and affordable.

In doing so we are competitive in a market sector of customers looking to achieve the highest level of deliverables on a fixed budget.

By overdelivering on our promises customer satisfaction levels are high and we work hard at leveraging reputational growth in our venue catchments.

Our track record is taking venues to market with our distinctive style and service levels to drive booking growth and add value.

We have built venue brands from scratch to a position of prominence in their locality.

Our aim is to become a venue chain operating under both ownership and management models.

Aligning to brand values creates customer familiarity from the outset and delivers on customer expectation driving sales volume.

In the same way we leverage industry supply chains to achieve high gross profit levels whilst matching customer expectation on product and price.

Promoting ourselves exlcusively online and social media our new business enquiry levels are strong.

Sales are underpinned by entirely cloud based CMS, EPOS and payment systems.

Lyme Breeze in Adlington located between Macclesfield and Poynton is typical as a case study of our achievement.

We acquired the business in 2017 operating as a restaurant offering bargain basement weddings and events.

Identifying an opportunity to apply our philosophy, style and  operating model as well as a substantial refurbishment both internally and externally Lyme Breeze today is a successful venue.

With a core "Casual Kitchen" format for walk-ins offering drinks, hot beverages, cakes, lite bites and snacks, Lyme Breeze is also available for exclusive use weddings and events.

Launching our "Covid Guarantee" during lockdown saw an increase in bookings allowing couples to change dates.

Today Lyme Breeze is a thriving Wilshaws venue with a strong reputation in its geographical area which is both profitable and in demand.
