West Tower in Ormskirk is one of those venues that combines charm, elegance, and just enough history to make you feel like you’ve stepped into a place that has a story to tell, without being too stiff or formal. Located in the Lancashire countryside, it’s one of those places that’s perfect for a wedding, with stunning views and a relaxed atmosphere.
For Lauren and Matt, it was the perfect setting to tie the knot, especially given their plans to throw a wedding that was as much about celebrating with friends and family as it was about the ceremony. And with December weddings, there’s always that slight edge of excitement – like a Christmas party without the office drama. The atmosphere at West Tower is a little less ‘old-school elegance’ and a bit more ‘let’s have a good time,’ and if that’s the vibe you’re after, this venue knows exactly how to deliver.

West Tower: A Bit of Venue History
Before we dive into Lauren and Matt’s West Tower Wedding day, let’s take a quick detour to talk about West Tower. A Grade II listed building, this venue has been hosting weddings for years but still manages to keep that intimate, countryside charm. Its history goes back to the 18th century, so while the building may have had a few things change over time, the original brickwork and stunning views remain timeless.
The location is hard to beat, surrounded by lush greenery, it feels both secluded and majestic. Perfect for a couple looking to make their wedding memorable, it doesn’t hurt that it’s just a short drive from Ormskirk and easily accessible from Liverpool. And don’t get me started on the ceremony space—whether you’re saying “I do” in the elegant ballroom or outside (weather permitting), it always feels just right. With West Tower wedding photography, you’re sure to capture the timeless beauty of the venue as part of your day.
Lauren & Matt’s Incredible West Tower Wedding
Lauren and Matt were a couple who understood one thing: weddings are meant to be enjoyed. It’s not all about the dress (though it looked stunning), the flowers, or the cake. What matters is that your day is filled with moments that make you laugh, celebrate, and most importantly, dance! I started off at the family home with Matt who was getting ready with his groomsmen and parents. Once dressed it was time to her to the bride and bridesmaids who were already getting ready in the fantastic make up room at West Tower.
After moving up to the bridal suite and getting into the dress and a couple of dress reveals it was time to get married. With it being a winter wedding the wedding took place inside which is the perfect space to tie the knot.
Drinks reception soon followed and then onto speeches, which were fantastic!
The evening part was awesome and from the moment the party kicked off, the energy at West Tower was electric. Guests were on their feet all night. Everyone was up on the dance floor, from the first song until I left!
But, there was one thing that really set the tone for their epic party: the surprise fireworks display. Matt’s surprise for Lauren was fantastic, It was spectacular. Before the party kicked off everyone was asked to head outside for a sparkler photo – which ended up with a fantastic display. It was the perfect way to start the night at this incredible West Tower Wedding, that was all about creating memories and making sure everyone had a blast.
