The Old Hall Hotel is a Grade II listed building set in its own grounds at Keresley, on the edge of Coventry, restored as a hotel while keeping much of its original historic character. It holds a full civil marriage licence, so the whole day — ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening party — can happen on site without anyone needing to travel between venues.
The hotel's own VIP Suite and Executive Lounge give couples a choice of reception space depending on the size of the day, with Gonni's Restaurant available for dining and several bars across the building for the evening. Ten bedrooms on site mean the couple and close family can stay over rather than everyone heading home at the end of the night.
Where the band plays
Tell us whether you've booked the VIP Suite or the Executive Lounge — the two are different sizes and call for different-sized line-ups. There's no published sound limiter figure or fixed curfew for live music from the venue, so it's worth confirming both directly when you book. As a working hotel, load-in is generally straightforward, but do let us know your access arrangements in advance so nothing's a surprise for the band on the day.
How the day flows
With the marriage licence covering the whole site, many couples marry here before moving guests through to drinks, a wedding breakfast in Gonni's Restaurant or one of the suites, and an evening reception with dancing in the same building. Having bedrooms on site is a genuine convenience if your evening runs late and you'd rather not think about transport home.
