Your East Midlands Wedding - Feb/Mar 2019 (Issue 30)

18 Boston Guildhall, PE21 6HT Entering this venue through a historic chapel and then climbing a majestic staircase that leads to the stunning Banqueting Hall, couples can be forgiven for feeling they’ve found the perfect spot for tying the knot. For hundreds of years newlyweds have promised to ‘have and to hold’ in front of the imposing great west window while their guests marvelled at the hall’s soaring vaulted ceiling and magnificent acoustics. The hall is ideal for larger weddings while those with a smaller number of up to 30 can opt for the Georgian-style Council chamber. Ceremony licence?
