Shelley & Steve wedding Saturday 15th March 2025

We had our wedding ceremony at the beautiful Electric Palace on Saturday 15th March 2025.
We were thrilled to find a theatre to get married in, to carry on our theme, as we got engaged on stage at a theatre more locally to us, when we took our children to watch a pantomime, so when we found the electric palace did weddings, we just had to snap it up.
Emily was fantastic from start to finish, with all of our questions leading up to the day and she took all the stress away on the day. Getting married up on stage felt so unique and fun. The foyer was great fun after the ceremony too with popcorn and prosecco and everyone enjoying the ambience of the theatre.
We would highly recommend The Electric Palace as a wedding venue and the staff were great!
Thank you.

A truly unique incredible venue!

Emilie and all the staff at the Electric Palace brought our wedding day to life. Emilie was fantastic in working with all the elements we brought to our wedding (Casino, Cocktail Bar & Magic Mirror) & allowing the day to run smoothly, leaving the whole experience a stress free one. All of our guests were astounded with the venue & the 1920's feel to it. The foyer filled with a nostalgic feel has the space for our guests to chat, relax & enjoy the cocktail bar and casinos. We had a disco in the auditorium & was recommended a local lighting technician who really created an incredible atmosphere! We would both highly recommend the Electric Palace to any couple who want a unique & incredible venue.

The most perfect backdrop to our wedding

The venue itself looked amazing, the work that is going in to this venue is heart warming! It provided the most perfect backdrop to our wedding. It’s an unusual venue for a wedding, one I have to say that my wife spotted the potential in immediately. It oozes character and with the team in place behind it, I’m sure will go on to deliver many more happy occasions – as well as a venue with a great line up of performing artists of course!

The Electric Palace is a true one off

The Electric Palace is a true one-off, an unusual old-fashioned gem of a place with all mod cons. A great venue for your events – the staff certainly know how to pull out all the stops to make things go well

Our wedding was the very first ceremony & reception to be held at the Palace. The venue is just incredible. Beautiful in every way. Our guests were blown away, my new husband and I could not have wished for a better day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
