Victoria Warehouse

About This Venue

Welcome to Victoria Warehouse, we are a completely unique and entirely innovative space right in the heart of Manchester. With exposed walls, stone doors and a raw urban backdrop; the simplicity of our venue provides a stunning setting for your wedding day.

Built in the early 1900s as predominantly a cotton storage facility, our warehouse buildings have stood as a symbol of this city's industrial strength and innovation for around 100 years. Since then, careful renovations have made it a venue to capture the imagination and create a surprisingly romantic backdrop for many couples.

You can have as little or as much room as you need with our adaptable spaces. We have a total of five rooms licensed for a civil ceremony, and we work closely with Trafford Council who arrange the time slots for your big day. Our recommended suppliers can dress the rooms however you wish; we’ve delivered some amazing concepts over the years, from blossom trees to teardrop lights suspended from pillars and ceilings.

Here at Victoria Warehouse we realise every wedding is unique, and whether you plan a traditional format to the day or a more personal celebration; our dedicated wedding team will work closely with you to ensure your special day runs to perfection.
