The best day ever!

We booked Manchester Hall for our wedding venue for the 12th October 2024. The booking was made about 3/4 months before the actual date so we got a really good deal by taking a last availability date. This didn't leave us with much time to plan everything but it was all made very simple thanks to the staff here. Nothing was too much trouble; we had countless conversations and they were always available to answer any questions that we had. Taylor was our wedding planner and we cannot thank her enough for everything that she did for us. She was very thorough ensuring that every detail was covered and always very professional in how she handled everything. It was a very easy process from start to finish.
The wedding day was perfect, we can't fault anything. The whole team made everything run so smoothly and we want to thank every single member of staff for that. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and especially how amazing the food was, both for the wedding breakfast and evening snack. To say that many members of the staff were so young, they were all highly professional and are a credit to the venue. It was very clear that they had done this many times before as it all came so natural to them. A special thank you to Heidi and Georgina for making the day run exactly how we wanted it too. Such lovely ladies.
Our day here was wonderful and we 100% recommend Manchester Hall and their amazing team. Thank you ever so much.

Perfect Wedding Experience

We recently hosted our daughter's wedding reception at Manchester Hall, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From start to finish, the entire event was flawlessly executed, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.

The venue itself is stunning, with elegant decor and a sophisticated ambiance that provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The historic charm of Manchester Hall, combined with its modern amenities, made for an unforgettable day.

A special mention goes to Augusta, our Wedding Coordinator, who was excellent in her recommendations. She was incredibly patient with us as we made changes and amendments, and she managed the event in a thoroughly professional manner. Her attention to detail and expertise were invaluable in making the day run smoothly.

William, the Operations Manager, also played a crucial role in ensuring everything was running smoothly. His efficiency and oversight helped us feel at ease throughout the event.

On the day of the wedding, we were particularly impressed by the attentiveness of our waitstaff – Hidi, Noah, and Abdul. They were exceptional in their service, ensuring that all our guests were well taken care of. Our guests repeatedly praised the level of care and attention they received, contributing to the overall success of the day.

The food was another highlight. Our guests raved about the delicious menu, which was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. The culinary team did an outstanding job accommodating various dietary preferences and ensuring everyone was satisfied. Additionally, the mocktails were creative and cleverly made, sparking such interest that guests even asked the bartender how they were prepared.

Overall, Manchester Hall exceeded our expectations in every way. We are so grateful for the wonderful memories created there and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch venue for their special occasion.

I would recommend in a heart beat!

Manchester hall was fantastic from start to finish. Every person who we encountered along the way made our wedding experience feel extremely special. Our guest' were all amazed with how beautiful the venue was, as were we. We really didn't need to "Dress" the rooms to much as it would've taken the beauty away from the rooms themselves. I would recommend in a heart beat! Thank you Manchester hall for being great & making our day feel so wonderful.
