Elizabeth Gaskell's House

Looking for an intimate wedding venue not far from central Manchester, Elizabeth Gaskell’s House was a great find. Reasonably priced, well situated, and working with us each step of the way. They offered a beautiful and historic setting, with the relaxed vibe we wanted. Big shout out to Katie who helped to plan and co-ordinate the day, allowing us to just relax and enjoy ourselves. I can’t recommend this venue enough! x

Wow, what a venue. Guests also loved the opportunity to have a walk around the house. The staff were outstanding throughout the planning process and on the day. Also they went well beyond the call of duty by fetching 2 guests who had got themselves lost enroute. Cannot recommend highly enough. If you book Elizabeth Gaskell's House for your wedding, you will not be disappointed.

Katie, thank you for all your help and hard work on the day. We both had a wonderful day and can't thank you all enough for making it run so smoothly. We don't have any "constructive feedback" it was just brilliant. Thank you!

Thank to you and your team for the weekend, it was perfect and everyone had such a lovely time! Please do pass on my thanks to your colleagues. Married July 2021.

If you are looking for a perfect venue for a small intimate wedding then this is the place. Beautiful house and surroundings and Katie and her team worked really hard on the day to ensure everything went like clockwork. It also reduced our stress levels knowing that Katie was ahead of the game with timings and also contacting our wedding suppliers. We were able to dress the rooms exactly as we wanted and had access the day before to ensure everything was in place and ready for the following day. I also made use of the lovely bedroom upstairs to change into my wedding dress, and prepare/keep calm for the ceremony! All our guests complimented our choice of venue and we would highly recommend.

We loved using Elizabeth Gaskell as our venue! It holds up to 35 guests and the value for money is incredible (compare it to other venues and you'll see why!). The venue team were lovely; be aware that they only work/open on certain days so if you need to make a visit there it may be on a weekday. They were really accommodating in terms of accessibility for elderly/disabled guests and even helped us with some tricky chair sashes. Really appreciated their help and would like to visit again in the future.

We had an amazing day at Elizabeth Gaskells house. The value for money was unbelievable and the experience did not feel cheaper than any other wedding I have been to. The venue is beautiful and has gorgeous period features and furniture. Everything in the run up was very smooth, even with a change of wedding coordinator mid way through or planning- we were never left feeling forgotten about and both Ellen and then Katie were so helpful and kind to us. We were able to go to the venue the day before the wedding to set up, at no extra cost and when we went to tear down the following day- Katie and her team had already cleared everything and had it ready to go in boxes for us. We had an amazing day and are so thankful to the entire team at the house.

Had the perfect relaxed day we wanted. The house is a beautiful setting and it was great we could have afternoon tea after the ceremony. All our guests commented on how lovely, unusual and memorable our wedding was.

The venue was a 'yes' as soon as we walked in the door. Beautiful period house and decor. We were looked after brilliantly by Katie, the wedding organiser, both before and during the day of the wedding. We felt lucky to celebrate with Katie and two of the volunteers (Cath and Jane? Sorry ladies, my mind was elsewhere!) who were responsive, friendly and kind. We had the best time. I recommend 100%.
