Landmark Wedding Venues in Greater Manchester

From beggining to end the whole team were absolutely phenomenal! Nothing was too much effort and everything planned (including things we hadn't even considered!) to the smallest of detail. The ceremony room was set up with ease of access for less mobile guests and the compass room looked absolutely spectacular. We had so many comments on the wedding breakfast room. The menu options were delicious and they also catered for those fussy eaters (including one of the grooms) amongst our wedding party. The coordination of other suppliers also meant we did not need to work out the logistics of deliveries or set up. For two grooms to be treated with such respect and consideration, really meant a lot to us. Would highly recommend.

Honestly this venue went above and beyond. We wanted to just have a party with all our friends and run off to a registry office a couple days before the party, we’d told Eve (part of the special events team) that we would like to do some sort of ceremony to surprise our guests so they were no longer attending an engagement party, but a wedding, and instantly she started planning how we could do it and was so accommodating. All the staff got on board and did everything in their power to help us pull this off and it was the best night of our lives. Food was unreal - we just did canopies and late night snacks and all my guests have been raving about them. Thank you for making our day so special, everyone in the special events team on the day were unbelievable 🩷

My wife and I had the wedding of our dreams at the Manchester Art Gallery. As art lovers, celebrating our most special day surrounded by breathtaking artworks and beautiful architecture felt truly extraordinary. From the very beginning, Victoria, the events manager at the Gallery, offered us unwavering support and kindness, bringing our ideas to life in ways we could not have imagined. The organisation was flawless, the staff attentive to every detail, and the decoration of the space nothing short of spectacular. We chose a 100% vegan menu, and the food was so delicious that every guest absolutely loved it. We will treasure the memory of our magical day forever and look forward to returning to the Gallery often to revisit the spaces that made it so unforgettable.

An absolute bargain for what we paid at the time, in a stunning venue. The staff were great and our family is still gushing about the wedding today.

Impossible to put into words how much I love this venue. From start to finish, the whole process was seamless and my planner Mic, along with support from Alfie for the evening and amazing service from the bar staff, we really couldnt have wished for any better. Mic was professional, attentive, organised and knows his way around organising an event and his attention to detail is superb. Everything went off without a hitch and - literally didnt worry about a single thing all day, The venue itself - well what can i say... If you want something a bit different to the norm and to stand out, not just for yourselves but your guests too, Vicky B is the one. Beautiful venue, lots of quirks and hiding places, makes for some great photographs, and its a wedding our friends and family are continuing to talk about months after the event. Plenty of history dotted around the place too and there will always be something new to dazzle your party with. We arnt ones to go with the tradition and VB was our one and only choice Couldnt recommend this venue enough and will long be a visitor to this special to relive our day.

From start to finish our experience getting married at the University of Manchester was fantastic. The team were very responsive throughout the planning process and accommodating with regards to decor and deliveries leading up to the day. Charlotte in particular was a star ensuring that details were ironed out in the lead up to the wedding and that things ran perfectly on the day. The venue is amazing and our guests, were blown away by how beautiful it was and how well suited each part of the venue was to different elements of the day. Could not recommend this venue highly enough. Thank you Charlotte and Adam for making our day stress free and so so enjoyable!
