Frequently asked questions

How many guests can BD The Crown hold?

Our ballroom seats up to 300 guests for a sit-down meal with a dance floor, or around 350 for a standing reception. Smaller weddings and parties of 60–100 work beautifully too – we simply set the room to suit your numbers.

Can we bring our own caterers?

Yes. You are welcome to use our kitchen team or bring your own outside caterers – halal, Asian, Nigerian, Caribbean, Polish, Romanian and vegetarian menus are all welcome. Our service team, bar and cleaning are always included.

What time does the party finish?

We are licensed until 3am, so your celebration does not have to stop early. Music, bar and dancing can run late into the night.

Is there parking?

There is free parking for 100+ cars directly opposite the venue, plus easy drop-off at the red-carpet entrance. We are 10 minutes from Liverpool city centre through the Queensway tunnel and close to Birkenhead Central / Green Lane stations.

Can we hold the ceremony and the reception in one place?

Yes – many couples hold a blessing or celebrant ceremony under our flower arch, followed by drinks in the foyer and the reception in the ballroom. Ask us about our recommended celebrants and photographers.

Do you host cultural and religious weddings?

Absolutely. We regularly host Asian, Pakistani, Indian, Nigerian, Caribbean, Bulgarian, Polish and Romanian weddings, walimas, mehndis and christenings. Tell us what you need – separate areas, late finishes, your own DJ or band, dry hire – and we will make it work.

How do we book?
