Memorable moments
Whatever kind of wedding you envision, there’s something for everyone at Rise Hall, and every wedding is special and memorable in its own way.
That said, Kerry recalls a particularly unforgettable celebration:
“The most memorable wedding at Rise Hall has to be when the fair came to town! One of our stunning couples hired a fairground for during the drinks reception; there was everything from hook-a-duck to a merry-go-round! Couples always add something unique for their entertainment at Rise Hall, from caricature portraits, fireworks, circus acts, mini-golf courses… we have had it all!”
Expert advice
When the opportunity to work in the wedding industry arose, Kerry soon realised she had a passion for weddings and events:
“I started working at a wedding and events venue as part of their reception team. Their events team became short-staffed shortly after I joined, so I stepped in to help out and soon realised I had a passion for weddings and events. What I love most about it is the opportunity to bring a couple’s vision to life. There’s something truly special about being part of such a joyous occasion and seeing the excitement, love and happiness unfold in a beautifully designed space. Plus, no two weddings are ever the same, which keeps things exciting and endlessly creative!”
As an expert in her field, Kerry shares her top tip for engaged couples planning their wedding, and here at Bridebook, we couldn’t agree more:
“Decide what truly matters to you as a couple. Before diving into the details, sit down together and identify your top three wedding priorities—whether it’s an unforgettable venue, amazing food, live music, or a relaxed atmosphere. By focusing on what’s most important, you’ll make planning decisions more easily, stay within budget, and create a day that genuinely reflects you—rather than getting lost in trends or expectations.”
