The Palace Hotel - Best Wedding Venues in Buxton

Melissa & Dan’s Day at One of The Most Beautiful Wedding Venues in Buxton
As a wedding photographer based in Derbyshire, capturing the real, heartfelt moments of a couple’s big day is what drives my passion—and Melissa and Dan’s wedding at The Palace Hotel in Buxton was the perfect example of that.
Set in the heart of this charming spa town, The Palace Hotel is one of the most well-known wedding venues in Buxton. With its grand Victorian architecture and elegant interiors, it offered a timeless backdrop for Melissa and Dan’s celebration. The historic setting added a touch of grandeur to the day while still feeling warm and relaxed.
One of the standout elements of their wedding was how close we were to the breathtaking beauty of the Peak District. Just minutes from the venue, we were able to sneak away for half an hour, find a stunning natural backdrop, capture a series of relaxed couples portraits, and return just in time for the wedding breakfast. It’s these kinds of opportunities that make weddings in Buxton so special—where heritage venues and beautiful countryside meet so seamlessly.
The energy at the reception was amazing. Guests filled the dance floor from early evening, and the speeches brought both laughter and emotion. It was clear how loved Melissa and Dan are, and how much joy surrounded their marriage.
For me, the most powerful images are the candid ones—natural smiles, shared glances, spontaneous laughs. And this wedding was full of those moments. From the ceremony through to the evening party, Melissa and Dan’s day was packed with genuine emotion and connection.
Their wedding was a true celebration, and The Palace Hotel Buxton was the perfect place to bring it all together. Whether you're drawn to its historic elegance or its proximity to the incredible Peak District, it’s one of the standout options when considering Buxton wedding venues.
If you're planning a wedding in Buxton or the wider Derbyshire area and want someone who focuses on capturing real, unposed moments, I’d love to hear from you.
