An absolute 5 star experience from setting the date all the way through in the most premium and special wedding venue.

I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for any of the following:-

- An extra premium city centre venue that brings New York vibes to Nottingham.
- A venue that delivers the wow factor on all levels from the impressive entrance hall, to the epic staircase to the beautiful windows that encase the wedding space bringing that something extra special to your wedding photos.
- Best in class service. Liam and his team were exceptional from start to finish. I cannot express how much they did for us. Always responsive, always going above and beyond, the team became such an important part of our special day.
- Out of this world food that delivers in-line with the superb restaurant the venue is home to and that also great value for money.
- Wine and drinks choices that were next level.
- Excellent photo opportunities from urban roof tops to dramatic stairways to canal-side fun.
- A fantastic sister bar underneath the venue for those pre wedding drinks, the night before wedding meal and the all important pre wedding planning meetings.
- An accessible venue that is perfect for guests who can stay within a stones throw of the hotel.

Cleaver & Wake, you literally smashed it out the park and made our day everything we hoped it would be, we cannot thank you enough and can’t wait to join you in the restaurant again soon.

A wedding with elegance

Our wedding reception at Upstairs at Cleaver & Wake was truly magical, thanks in large part to the venue's warmth, charm, and dedicated team. From the moment we stepped into the elegant upstairs space, we knew it was the perfect setting for our celebration.
One standout aspect of our experience was the exceptional service provided by the staff, especially the talented event manager, Daria. Her meticulous attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine passion for her work made our special day even more memorable. Daria went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the festivities with our loved ones.
Upstairs at Cleaver & Wake's elevated dining experience was a highlight for us and our guests. The creative dishes, crafted with top-quality British ingredients, were a testament to the culinary excellence that the venue is known for. Combined with a thoughtfully curated wine list, the meal was nothing short of exquisite.
In conclusion, our wedding reception at Upstairs at Cleaver & Wake was a dream come true, thanks to the outstanding service, beautiful ambiance, and mouthwatering cuisine. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple searching for a remarkable setting to celebrate their love story.
