The University is delighted to offer alumni
a £500 discount on the cost of a full
wedding package for any wedding that is
held at one of the University's breathtaking
venues, located throughout Liverpool
and Cheshire.
From the stunning Grade II listed Victoria
Gallery& Museum (VG&M), to the parkland
setting of Carnatic and Greenbank Halls, and
the award-winning botanic gardens in Ness,
there is something for every style of wedding.
Many alumni have already taken
advantage of this offer, including graduate
Victoria (née Keen) (MA Geography 2007)
and her husband Sam Neill, who celebrated
their special day at the VG&M.
Victoria and Sam met while Victoria was
studying at the University. Sam came to join
Victoria in Liverpool, taking up a role at
Merseybio, the on-campus facility for
developing biotechnology businesses.
After she graduated they
moved to Newcastle.
They never forgot their time at
Liverpool and after looking around
many venues they chose the VG&M,
as it was special to them both.
Sam says: "We fell in love with the
VG&M from the first time we visited. It
was an unusual venue and it felt very
special and had plenty of space for our
guests. We loved the gothic architecture,
spectacular interiors and the
quirky museum."
The ceremony itself took place in the
Leggate Theatre and the couple relived
all their University memories whilst
drinking a celebratory glass of bubbly in
the gothic Tate Hall Museum. Afterwards
photographs were taken against the
many amazing backdrops of the building,
whilst guests wandered amongst
the exhibits.
Sam continued: "The evening's
entertainment started with a ceilidh band
followed by a disco. The day flew by, the
staff were so friendly, the food was
amazing, making it was one of the most
memorable days of our lives ­ the guests
are still talking about it to this day."
