Bertie’s
Banqueting venue in Elland with a licensed Crystal Ballroom, in-house catering and room for big parties.
Bertie's is a banqueting and events venue on Brook Street in Elland, between Halifax and Huddersfield. The building holds a lounge, a cocktail lounge and the Crystal Ballroom, and it is licensed for civil ceremonies, so the whole wedding can take place under one roof. It suits couples planning a large celebration with plenty of guests, good food and a busy dance floor.
Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
Bertie's offers exclusive use of its cocktail lounge and ballroom, so your party has the venue to itself. Event managers run the day, and packages can be shaped around what you want rather than a fixed template. Couples who want a big, sociable wedding with the evening party in the same building will find it a practical choice.
Ceremonies
The venue holds a ceremony licence covering the Crystal Ballroom and the Lounge. Ceremonies can be held in the ground floor lounge, which opens onto a sun terrace, before guests move through for drinks and the meal. Confetti is allowed.
Receptions and food
The Crystal Ballroom seats around 200 for a wedding breakfast, and the room is turned around after the meal for the evening party, with a dance floor and sound system. Catering is in-house, with halal and vegan options, and the team can also work with outside caterers. Packages can bring together canapes, a multi-course meal, drinks and an evening buffet, with extras such as an LED dance floor, a photo booth and table styling. A coordinator is with you on the day. There is a licensed bar, and you can bring your own drink for a corkage charge.
