7.12.24 The Robsons

The Castlefield rooms team were exceptional from start to finish. Extremely responsive from the moment I booked all the way to the day. Nothing was a silly question and they were happy to answer anything.
The day was phenomenal we had a few personal issues happening on the day, my mum was admitted to intensive care, the staff that were responsible for us that day were incredible and so caring and made sure that our day could be as perfect as possible, and it was. everything went great, the ceremony, the drinks reception and the dinner. Food was insanely good!! Best wedding food I've ever had!! and my guests said it was the best wedding they had been to. So thank you again for all of your help for being kind, caring and compassionate regarding the circumstances. You helped us to have the best day.

Stunning venue!

We decided early on that we wanted a city centre wedding as Manchester means so much to us as a couple. We looked at a few places but the Castlefield rooms ticked all the boxes, the others were no competition! The view is incredible (the photo opportunities are amazing), the staff are all amazing & helpful at every stage of planning & the atmosphere is incredible. Walking through Duke 92 in my wedding dress I felt like a celebrity! All our guests complimented us on the relaxed atmosphere of the day & everyone commented on how great the food was (we opted for the buffet style BBQ menu). We also opted on doing our own décor & I can’t speak highly enough of how the staff brough our vision to life. Highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants a city centre wedding experience, it really ticks all the boxes for an amazing day

Wedding 03.06.23 🥰

We had the best day - exceeded all our expectations (which were high anyway). We had so many compliments and everyone had the best time. The team worked really hard and Ellie our co-ordinator was on hand to help with any questions throughout every stage of the planning process. We wish we could do it all over again!

Beautiful Venue

We got married at The Castlefield Rooms in February and it was everything we could have hoped for!
The venue is perfectly located in the city whilst being set in stunning surroundings which are perfect for photos!
The staff are incredibly friendly and the day ran so smoothly, there's not one thing I was unhappy with!
We rented the Lockkeepers Cottage for the weekend which is a stunning house just across from the venue and perfect for getting ready on the day of the wedding!
I would recommend this venue to everybody, such value for money and nothing was too much trouble. We had the best day ever!

Best Wedding Venue in Manchester

Couldn't fault the Castlefield Rooms at all! They are the number 1 wedding venue I've been to in Manchester and I'm not just saying that because our wedding was there! Their prices and packages are extremely fair and are adjustable by person rather than most place where you have to have a certain number which we liked. We had the bottom package (silver I think) and it was more generous than most weddings I have been too which many of the guests commented on. The food was INCREDIBLE. So many of my friends still go on about it. I had the risotto over the meat option because it was so amazing. Helen was spectacular throughout the process and we felt that the staff cared for our wedding reception rather than just getting on with their shift. The two ladies who ran the event on the night (I'm so sorry I can't remember your names!) were incredible and all the staff were so approachable nothing was too much to ask. The attention to detail was amazing, they checked everything with us. It really is a bespoke venue and anywhere that manages to make a horribly rainy day in February look amazing must be a winner (the fairy light wall is a must!). The florist the CR work with (Frog) were amazing also and so professional. The guests felt looked after and had an incredible time. I really want my friends to have a wedding their next so we can go again! Thank you so much to all of the staff, you made our day amazing!

Wedding June 2017

Absolutely faultless day!

The packages are so worth the money as you just let your coordinator know what you want and they do the rest, right down to setting up the room prior to your arrival for the ceremony and invite you to view the room before filling it with your guests.

I didn't have to do anything on the day (except enjoy myself) as was all communicated brilliantly via email and phone. We were so well looked after and all of our guests had a fabulous day. They loved the food, the atmosphere and were all very impressed with the liquors that came with the after dinner tea & coffee!
If I could do it all again, I would. Would i change anything about the day? Absolutely not.
The whole experience with The Castlefield Rooms was outstanding. Fantastic food, amazing location and brilliant attentive staff.

Absolutely wonderful from start to finish

All the staff who worked on our wedding were absolutely above and beyond amazing. Every guest we've spoken too have said hands down the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. The whole day ran smoother than any wedding I've been to which is down to the professionalism and efficiently of everyone working that night.

We can't thank all the staff enough, they made our special day so much more special. Nothing was too much trouble, the rooms looked beautiful, and we didn't have to worry about a thing other than just having a lovely day.

If you're still undecided on a venue then don't hesitate to book here. If we were to do it all over again we'd pick Castlefield Rooms every time.

We could not ask for better service

Just wanting to send an email to thank you & all the staff that worked on Saturday to make Paul & mine wedding so perfect.

Everyone enjoyed the day & commented on how fantastic the food was & couldn't ask for better service.

Just wish I could come back & eat the same meal again as I was so warm & excited I didn't eat much.

But please pass on from ourselves & both parents to everyone that made it so special a BIG THANK YOU, the day was amazing.

Such a friendly professional team

our wedding day was so special. The whole event was great from start to finish.
From the planning stage, you Karen and Sarah made it very easy for me and Ilaria. I loved the way you gave
us a detailed plan of the day and let us tailor make our wedding, and you offered us advise when needed.

Ilaria was slightly apprehensive about coming for meetings at first, but you made her feel very welcome.
you are such a friendly professional team.

The event organisers on the day were amazing. I would like to say a special thanks to Helen and Erin who
made the day run so seamlessly. The bar staff and waiters were natural and friendly. I really don’t have a bad
word to say.

Thanks for everything.

Amazing night

Just a quick email to pass on our thanks, Gareth and I had an amazing night we couldn't praise the staff enough, so helpful and friendly from start to finish, family and friends said the same.

The room looked amazing and wow the food, couldn't fault it.

Thanks again, if we had to book again you'd be our first choice.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
