We had to make many changes to our wedding due to Covid so it made it a small family wedding.
Victoria keep in touch with us and liaised with her colleagues to make our day happen .
We had a very special day even though it was a very pared down affair and not how we had in mind originally it was such a lovely ceremony in the Lowery gallery so I would definitely recommend anyone to have their wedding at Manchester Art Gallery.

Thank you for your kind review Julia. Its great to see the photos from your wedding day - I appreciate you taking the time to post the comment and the pics. It was a real pleasure helping you and Andrew with the arrangements for your ceremony, just such a shame it couldn't all take place as planned. Nonetheless it was all lovely and the smaller more intimate ceremonies are indeed very special!
Hope you are both well, stay safe
Victoria

It really was magical from start to finish ....
Morning Victoria
Myself and my husband (eeks) would just like to say a MASSIVE thank you again to you and your team for helping us (sorry Russell ha) turn around a wedding in just a few weeks. It really was magical from start to finish, and you helped us achieve everything we dreamed it would be and more.
Everyone was talking about how perfect the room was and our photos are amazing, especially of Russell’s mum, who was beaming.
You really did go above and beyond to help make our day special.
