    Amazing experience at the University of Manchester

    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!

    The best day of our lives 💕

    After having to postpone our wedding for several years due to Covid and the museum refurbishments, we can definitely say that the wait was worth it!
    Charlotte was absolutely fantastic and was always at the end of the phone/email if we needed her during the planning process, and helped make sure the day went by without a hitch!
    The museum itself is the most amazing setting for such an important day, and after having one of our first dates at the museum, many years ago, we couldn't have pictured getting married anywhere else.
    My only gripe, and the reason I haven't given 5 stars for quality of service, is the fact that the museum have nothing set up/available for playing music on the day. We had to connect to the speaker system using Bluetooth, and there wasn't any member of museum staff available to be control of the music, so my MoH ended up having to control the music from her phone for the entire ceremony and wedding breakfast.
    Having your bridal party playing music from their phone whilst walking down the aisle really isn't ideal - having a member of staff available to control the music would have made this a 5 star experience all round!

    Great from start to finish

    From our first meeting with the Events team to the days afterwards we really couldn't of asked for more. The venue is absolutely stunning, the food was fantastic all our guests raved about the beef and the sticky toffee pudding! The staff we all so friendly and looked after all our guests amazingly. Nothing was too much trouble for the team they really were superb and so well organised. We cannot reccomended the venue and team enough, if you are considering it as a potential venue DO IT! You won't be disappointed. Thanks for everything Becky and Darren x

    Amazing day!

    Thank you University of Manchester for our perfect wedding day!

    Unfortunately the covid pandemic hit our original date and can honestly say the team especially Adam Woof was amazing at helping us reorganise!

    Adam took over as our support and honestly was amazing throughout. From liasing, arranging dates for deliveries, food tastings, venue previews and walkrounds, everything felt personalised to us.

    We had our ceremony in the council chamber and breakfast & receptions in Christie's Bistro. The location was exactly what we were looking for and in comparison to other venues was far less expensive for the great service and facilities!

    The food from the canopes, breakfast and evening buffet offered great variety and quality (tasted amazing too) and offered veggie/vegan options. Great variety of drinks!

    We and the wedding party stayed at the Hyatt Regency, 5 minutes walk away, where the University hotel booking team got us a greatly discounted block booking for 25 rooms and a suite!

    Adam was an amazing help and supported us to do some whacky things on our day, including a silent disco, which worked perfectly in the venue! On the day he was ever present, co-ordinating the team and ready to aid with tasks.

    From entering the breakfast in a glass elevator, using the beautiful courtyard for reception and photos and access to some amazing spaces all added to our spectacle. The location is close to oxford road station, hotels and bus routes for guests.

    Thank you again, we would definitely recommend the venue, facilities, personal touches, food and support to anyone!

    Bryn and Samantha

    The perfect Wedding Venue

    We found Whitworth Hall by accident. I was actually looking for another venue on line and the University of Manchester link came up. We fell in love with the neo-gothic Hall and the old science library that is now Christie’s Bistro, straight away. Rebecca and Adam made the planning experience so easy, enjoyable and uncomplicated which lead to the most perfect wedding day. We had an August wedding and it poured down with rain….. But it didn’t matter one bit. The Hall was so spacious and there was plenty of room downstairs to wander without needing to be outside. We got the whole place to ourselves – the ceremony and breakfast was in the hall and we had the reception in Christie’s Bistro next door which was open all day and night for us. All our guests were so complementary of the venue, it is in such a convenient location with a variety of accommodation and train stations within a mile of the hall. Yet, for the whole day, it felt secluded, quiet and ‘ours’. The breakfast was delicious and the wine was incredible (We had many grateful comments regarding the wine!) We can’t thank the staff enough for the most incredible of wedding days. What a perfect venue, what kind, generous staff and what a location. I would recommend it to anyone who loves a relaxed feel yet enjoys architecture, books, history and fancies a little bit of ‘wow factor’ on their day. Thank you all who were involved, Lou and Mike
