We are blessed to live in such a beautiful area of the country. Staffordshire and the West Midlands boast a perfect balance of blissful rolling countryside and big city grandeur. From the grand, historical manor houses to intimate, boutique hotels, quaint village churches and pubs/restaurants, Staffordshire and the West Midlands offer couples such a wide variety of wedding ceremony and reception venues to consider for their special day. I have detailed below just some of the wonderful venues that the county has to offer both from a photographic and hospitality point of view.
