Manchester Marriott Victoria & Albert Hotel

Set on the banks of the River Irwell, Manchester Marriott Victoria & Albert Hotel is a characterful city-centre wedding venue with a story to tell. Dating back to 1844, the hotel was originally built as part of Manchester’s historic warehouse district, and still retains many of its original features, including exposed brickwork, steel columns, timber beams and beautiful industrial details.

Blending heritage charm with the ease of a hotel wedding, the V&A offers a warm and romantic setting for couples looking to celebrate in the heart of Manchester. Whether you are planning an intimate ceremony, a relaxed wedding breakfast or a larger evening celebration, the hotel provides flexible spaces, riverside photo opportunities and a dedicated events team to help bring your day together.

Facilities and Capacity

The V&A can host weddings of varying sizes, from intimate gatherings to larger celebrations.

For smaller ceremonies and receptions, the Victoria Suite offers a cosy and elegant setting with character and warmth. This space is ideal for more intimate weddings and can be dressed beautifully to suit your style.

For larger celebrations, the John Logie Baird Suite provides a flexible celebration space, allowing couples to create a wedding day that feels personal to them. The suite is well suited to wedding breakfasts, evening receptions and celebrations with a larger guest list.

The hotel also benefits from its riverside location, outdoor terrace space and city-centre setting, giving couples the best of both worlds: a venue full of history and character, with the practicalities of accommodation, catering and event support all in one place.

Services Offered

The team at V&A understands that every wedding is different, which is why a choice of package options is available.

Couples can choose from a classic wedding package, with key elements of the day already included, or a more flexible bespoke package based around a minimum food and beverage spend.

The hotel’s events team will be on hand to guide you through the planning process, talk through the available spaces, and help you choose the package that works best for your wedding.

We’d love to hear what you have in mind for your day. Get in touch with your preferred date, guest numbers and the kind of wedding you’re hoping for, and our events team would be delighted to welcome you to the hotel, show you around and talk through your plans in more detail.
