occasion

1. What are the first things we should consider when looking for occasion wear?

Firstly, colours, for weddings if you are a main guest find out if you have to work to a colour theme. The mother of the bride traditionally has first choice. If you are not colour restricted look at what colour works best with your skin tone.

Secondly, dress code. For some events – races, black tie, award ceremonies, there may be dress codes so do check first before parting with your money.   Our stylists are extremely talented at finding the right outfit to meet the dress code requirements.

There’s a reason why your wedding day is called your Big Day. It’s the only occasion in your life when you’ll have all the people you love in the same room on the same day. It’s the most extraordinary feeling for any couple. Your dedicated wedding team at the Preston Marriott Hotel will make sure that your day is the perfect expression of who you are.

After years of proudly hosting weddings, we understand that what is most important is that you have your day your way. Our wedding packages start from £2,750 and are based on a minimum spend, not maximum numbers or set packages.
