Runcorn Town Hall

Great park , well cleaned compared to other parks i have been. Over all i think this park is over all beautiful and well built

Fabulous building that is ideal for weddings. Definitely worth a look

Big white building surrounded by grass, trees and plastic scousers

One of the nicest Town Hall's you can get married in. Lovely grounds to get those extra wedding photographs. Here's one of our Imperial Viscount Landaulette's waiting outside for the couple to come out. #runcorntownhall #runcorn #wedding #vintage #weddingcar #barringtonsweddingcars

I shot a wedding here on Saturday, the Registrars were absolutely lovely, they couldn’t have been nicer and more professional. I was also really impressed by the grounds, I looked around before the bride arrived to pick what shots we would get post-ceremony. I first asked the security guard to let me in to see the room. He spoke zero English and said no. I kept asking and explaining I was the photographer and he finally let me up for 2 mins. After that he told us we had to leave and locked the door behind us. The groom was even confused to why the door was still locked half an hour before the ceremony. Fast forward to after the ceremony. I was assured by the registrars that we had all the time we need on the grounds and inside to shoot everything we need. As soon as we stepped out the door the security guards locked everything up. We weren’t allowed into lovely grounds to get the photos we wanted and the security guard just kept saying no he wanted to go home. We expressed we were allowed to keep shooting. This was only 15/20 mins after the ceremony so it’s not like we were keeping him forever. The guard was then very rude and said we definitely couldn’t shoot inside the building. I’d even left my camera bag upstairs in which I told him I needed to get it and he said no. After arguing (in front of the bride and groom which isn’t exactly good) he said we could get it. I sent my partner up to get it as I had a limited time to get photos as the driver was only booked until 6pm. She went up and there were 3 security guards and one of them followed her weirdly around the building starring and made her feel very uncomfortable. It’s unfortunate but they’ve put a dampener on a really nice day and have made me reluctant to ever take a wedding booking here again. If anyone from the venue wants me to discuss this further in the phone I’m happy to!
