5 ⭐ all round

We had the most wonderful reception at Archive. From planning to on the day Jay and the rest of the team have been so supportive in making our wedding the most colourful, fun and relaxed day.

The venue itself really can be moulded to how you want it to look and the planning meetings with Jay really help to bring your ideas to life. We really appreciated Jays help and guidance on this.

On the day the team were so helpful and freindly. There is a fantastic selection of wines/beers/cocktails and soft drinks. All our guests were so well catered for and we had the best day and so did all our guests!!! Would highly recommend ❤️

Incredible Experience

From start to finish, working with Jay and the team was simple and encouraging.

All steps of a timeline of meetings and how the day itself panned out was clear and even last minute changes were not an issue and Jay sorted things immediately.

Loads of contact, swift communication responses and an absolute 10/10 service!! Cannot recommend Archive enough.

THANK YOU

Great venue for a banging wedding party!

Jay (and the team) helped us every step of the way guiding us and giving us options including letting us try food and see the venue in its many different lights. No question ever felt like it was a silly one and was answered professionally and courteously. We felt fully supported and had a wonderful experience - highly recommend hiring Archive!

Our amazing wedding party...

What a wonderful venue.
After getting married at Leeds Civic Hall we had Archive for our party the day after. I can't compliment it enough. Jay, the events manager was so accommodating from the very first meeting, we kept changing numbers after guests dropped out and then we invited more and it was never too much trouble. He was more than happy for us to call in any time to discuss layouts and logistics and the use of the 3d space design was so useful. We were allowed to enter the space early on the day of our party (which ran so smoothly) and it was good to go in plenty of time for our guests to arrive. Having the outdoor space at the side was a godsend, especially as the sun set round that side so it made it even more special to be outside at this time. (To keep the party going we hired a silent disco)
The kids (and adults) loved the ping pong table and photobooth and we were able to stream to the big screen where we played slideshows of photos from our past and of the day.
The staff on the day were so lovely and helpful, from being on hand to serve welcome drinks, always someone at the bar or clearing tables and the food was out on time and absolutely delicious. We went for the buffet and pizzas and everybody loved it!
We partied into the night with our DJ using the stage and the in house lights and sound system and the staff stayed till we were ready to go home after a very long day. The only disappointing thing is that it's all over now! We'd do it again tomorrow if we could.
Thank you so much to everyone involved, we loved it!

The BEST wedding 🫶🏽

We cannot recommend Archive and Jay, our wedding coordinator enough. We booked our wedding with a years notice, Jay was incredible throughout. The space can be completely transformed to however you want it, and when styled it is done beautifully. We didn’t want a traditional wedding, we had a bespoke drinks and food package and they even catered for our daughter with allergies. All of our guests said it was the best wedding they’d ever attended, from start to finish it was exceptional!!

Thank you so much to Jay and all of the staff for helping us, I wish I could do the day all over again

Archive Wedding - May 2026

Everything about Archive was exceptional from the outset. If you want a flexible, modern and laid back wedding venue, Archive is the place for you.

We chose Archive as our wedding venue as we were looking for a modern and bright event space, which we could make our own and Archive certainly delivered. We were able to chose exactly how we wanted to configure the room and the space was perfect for our 110 guests, everyone had enough room to roam about and dance without the space feeling too crowded.

The whole team at Archive were extremly amenable throughout and Jay (the wedding coordinator) was always on hand should we have a question or new idea to add.

We chose to have a pizza buffet for our food which was served to perfection and went down really well with the guests. Other food options are avaliable however and are really affordable.

Archive can provide additional add on's which make the event space even more special including ceiling streamers, an LED light wall and games which completed our wedding vision and kept guests entertained.

We honestly had the most magical day and would reccomend Archive to any prospective couples looking for a wedding venue in Leeds city centre.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
