Mint Hotel Leeds sees rise in city centre weddings
In the year that saw Kate and William marry in the UK’s capital, the popularity of a city centre wedding is on the rise as couples look to celebrate their special day in the cities in which they work, live and play.
Mint Hotel Leeds is finding that an increasing number of couples, from civil partnerships and young couples to second marriages, are choosing a city centre venue to create a modern, urban backdrop to their big day. Situated in the heart of the city centre just five minutes’ walk from the train station at the award-winning Granary Wharf development, Mint Hotel, which overlooks the Leeds Liverpool Canal, features a range of flexible event spaces which offer stunning views of the city skyline, providing a cosmopolitan setting for a wedding celebration.
The hotel is fully licensed for weddings and civil partnerships and offers award-winning, modern architecture and stylish interiors. The range of flexible spaces means the venue can cater for a variety of events, from a small and intimate gathering with family and friends to a larger celebration.
Mint Hotel provides a cost-effect solution to modern weddings enabling couples to spend that extra cash on the thoughtful touches that can make the day so special. The entire day can take place in the hotel, including the ceremony itself, photography, wedding breakfast and evening’s entertainment, cutting the usual travel costs between venues. With superb transport links by road and rail, Mint Hotel Leeds is close to home for those living locally and an easy journey for guests coming from further afield, yet a million miles from the mundane.
Nestled on the canal side in a cool corner of the city Mint can accommodate guests in its 333 rooms including 6 City suites which include a separate lounge, dining area and beautiful bathrooms. To compliment Mint Hotel’s contemporary style, couples looking for a more traditional venue for the ceremony itself can take advantage of range of beautiful heritage buildings close by including the grand Town Hall designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and Leeds Parish Church.
The bride and groom get to enjoy one of the hotel’s 11th floor suites including rose petal turndown, breakfast and a late check out and a complimentary first anniversary overnight stay including breakfast, as a special gift from Mint Hotel.
Mint Hotel’s AA rosette award winning restaurant, City Café, offers traditional British cuisine with a contemporary twist using locally sourced ingredients and the hotel’s highly regarded chefs, led by head-chef Leah Jenson, working with each couple to design and plan the menu. The happy couple can select a sumptuous wedding breakfast, a casual and informal buffet, or an original bespoke dining menu and wine list created for this special occasion.
Guests can even dine alfresco as City Café and the stylish Granary Lounge each extend onto an outdoor terrace over-looking the canalside, or get closer to the stars with a cocktail or two in the 13th floor SkyLounge which offers the best views of the city’s skyline.
The hotel offers a dedicated events team to ensure each event is meticulously planned, beautifully delivered and forever memorable.
