Wedding photography and film at Leverhulme Hotel

Leverhulme Hotel is a boutique hotel weddings venue on the Wirral, set within Port Sunlight, the remarkable model village built by soap magnate William Lever and one of the best-preserved Edwardian planned communities in the country.

A boutique hotel in Port Sunlight — the model village built by soap magnate William Lever — the Leverhulme Hotel sits within a uniquely preserved Edwardian planned community whose Arts and Crafts architecture provides one of the Wirral's most distinctive and photogenic settings.

We find that venues with this kind of architectural character and history give wedding photography and film something genuinely special to work with, and the Arts and Crafts streetscapes surrounding the hotel offer a backdrop that is unlike almost anywhere else in the North West. It is a setting we would love to bring our cameras to.
