Situated in the centre of Manchester, Hallé St Peter’s is a Grade-II listed former Anglican church now used by The Hallé orchestra for its recordings and rehearsals. The state-of-the-art venue has won multiple architecture awards, including the RIBA National Award and the Architects Journal’ Cultural Building of the Year. Officially opened by HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh in 2013, the venue has kept the original features of the church and added two modern and elegant reception spaces.
St Peter's, the site of the old church of the same name, boasts high ceilings and beautiful stained glass windows. Your wedding will take place in the original apse from the church's consecration in 1860. Tall windows surround the room and let in lots of light from the surrounding Ancoats area, meaning your day will be bright whether you marry in June or January.
The extension completed in 2019 adds two breath-taking reception spaces to the venue. On the ground floor, the Café looks out onto the bustling Cutting Room Square, and makes a beautiful reception space come rain or shine. Upstairs, the Victoria Wood Hall offers an expansive view of the square and out onto Ancoats. The hall is elegantly wood-panelled, with high ceilings allowing in lots of light on the darkest of days.
Hallé St Peter’s combines tradition with modernity to create a truly unique setting for your wedding. Its historic use as a former church and contemporary use as a home for The Hallé’s orchestra and choirs makes it a poignant venue steeped in Manchester’s history.
