Perfect venue for a laid back wedding

If you're looking for somewhere a little less conventional to hold your wedding, Kelham Island museum could not be more perfect!
It has an industrial charm and the reception room needs so little decoration due to its original features.
The team were so helpful and did everything they could to make our day just as we wanted it. Although there are some restrictions (I believe you are limited to certain caterers due to the venue not having a kitchen, and limitations on where confetti can be thrown), the team were flexible to our wishes.
Booking process was easy and we were welcome to view as many times as we needed. We had a very useful meeting with the wedding co-ordinator a week before which meant everything ran smoothly.
Extra points for not having to pack up the venue yourself on the night and not having to be there super early the next day to collect things.
We would highly recommend this venue - 10/10 would marry here again
