The wedding record
Flexible spaces for meaningful celebrations
Past wedding hire at The Tetley was presented as a collaborative process rather than a fixed package. The resource preserves the broad shape of that offer while keeping current availability separate from historical description.
Planning without a template
Couples could develop a day around their own priorities, from the atmosphere and decoration to the flow of the meal and celebration. Event planning was treated as a conversation: ideas were refined around the character of the building and the needs of the people attending.
The recorded offer included ceremonies, receptions and evening gatherings, with rooms adapted for intimate occasions or larger celebrations.
