Statham Lodge Hotel in Lymm, Cheshire, can host private dinners for 12 to 150 guests, dinner dances for up to 250 and weddings, with 37 bedrooms on site. It is a privately owned hotel on the edge of the village of Lymm, within reach of Warrington, Manchester, Liverpool and Chester.
Seminars and company events
The hotel presents itself as a venue for full day conferences as well as private dinners and weddings, and its site has a dedicated meetings page. The pages read for this profile do not give seat counts for conference layouts, so organisers should ask the events team which room fits their format. What the hotel does state is the size of its banqueting rooms, listed below, which also suit company dinners, award evenings and end of year parties. Squires Lounge Bar, which overlooks the gardens, accepts private bookings and works for a drinks reception before or after a meeting.
Weddings and receptions
Statham Lodge sells weddings as a core part of its offer. It describes bespoke weddings and all-inclusive packages, with daytime receptions, evening receptions with or without a civil ceremony, or the traditional sequence of drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening party. The largest banqueting suite has a private bar, a dance floor and a sound system, and the hotel notes that it has no near neighbours, which matters for evening music. With 37 bedrooms, a large share of a wedding party can stay on site.
Rooms and capacities
The largest suite seats up to 150 guests for dinner and up to 250 for a dinner dance. The second largest banqueting suite suits parties of up to 50 guests. For smaller groups, the garden room and the upstairs dining rooms take up to 24 guests. Private dining starts from a minimum of 12 guests. The events team prepares menu options and a personalized quotation for each event, whether it is a birthday, an anniversary, a christening, a charity event or a school prom.
Accommodation
The hotel has 37 individually designed bedrooms: deluxe single, twin, double and family rooms, two executive suites and a master bedroom with a spa bathroom. This allows a team to stay overnight after an evening event, or a wedding party to sleep under one roof.
Catering
Meals are prepared by the hotel's own kitchen. Sample private dining menus show three courses with a choice of starters, mains and desserts, such as sirloin steak, salmon, duck or chicken, and the menus change with the season. Menu options are discussed with the events team when the quotation is prepared.
