The rise of Leicester Weddings

Leicestershire is called the Heart of England. It has some stunning scenery, parklands and attractions. It is no wonder that Leicester weddings are increasing in popularity. There has been a lot of well needed regeneration in the city lately. It seemed that its neighbours, Nottingham and Birmingham were being hugely developed and having cash poured in to them but Leicester was being left out in the rain.

Now though Leicester is getting on a par with its neighbours. There has been a new shopping centre built as well as an arts centre, buildings have been cleaned, streets pedestrianized and re-paved and renovation still continues in parts of the city.

With this regeneration has come an influx of businesses such as hotels and eateries. There are now a greater number of city centre hotels such as Ibis, Ramada Jarvis, Campanile and what is described as one of Leicester’s best – The City Rooms. These places are great venues for Leicester weddings.

Many are now starting to hire restaurant’s to hold their wedding receptions in. With an enormous amount of new restaurants in Leicester such as ZiZi’s, Café Rouge and The Almanac the choice for perspective brides and grooms has greatly increased.
