Description

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.

Our event management team will be on hand from your first visit all the way through to the day itself to help you have a wedding to remember. Whether you’re looking to put your own personal touch on the venue, or whether you’d prefer to stick to a traditional feel, we can help. Our preferred suppliers can take care of all the details, making the planning process stress-free and enjoyable. Our highly experienced caterers will meet with you for a free tasting and help you develop the menu that’s right for your day.

Our stunning venue must be seen in person, and we’d be delighted to welcome you to Hallé St Peter’s soon.

Beautiful venue and helpful staff

We loved getting married at Halle St Peter’s. We had a great experience with the team and a wonderful wedding. It’s a stunning venue and a great size for the number of people we had (140 day guests and 20 additional evening guests)

We absolutely adored our wedding at HalleSt.Peter

We absolutely adored our wedding at Halle St. Peter’s. The events planning staff were really helpful, and kept in touch a lot in the months leading up to the big day. The venue is absolutely stunning, a little piece of history in the modern surroundings of the city. We enjoyed the fact that we could have the entire day in one place. The room was set up just as we had planned. We had a wonderful day! Rachel & Adam

Thank you so much for all you did to help make our day so special!! It was the perfect day with amazing memories. We were looked after from our first meeting at Halle St Peters and fell in love with the venue as soon as we walked in. Every request we made was dealt with amazingly and by the time the day came around, we knew that everything was in hand and that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. I would recommend the venue and the team to anyone who has a special day coming up. Thom & Jefferey

Halle St Peter's is a Beautiful building

We married in Halle St Peters in 2016. Having met whilst studying together in Manchester, the city is very important to us and having a wedding venue that was located in the heart of Manchester was so special. Halle St Peters allowed us to celebrate our marriage in a beautiful building and the day and evening of partying is one our friends and family still talk about now. Being in the centre of Manchester, we can walk past our wedding venue whenever we like and it brings all those happy memories flooding back! Sophie & Adam

We had an amazing wedding at Halle St Peter's

We had an amazing wedding at Halle St Peter's and couldn't have found a more perfect venue for our civil ceremony. It is a beautiful building and we felt it offered just the right balance of formality and warmth. All of our friends and family commented on the setting and we felt a really special atmosphere there. The weather that day was pretty awful (classic Manchester rain in August!) but it meant we spent longer in the Halle following the ceremony taking some fantastic photos with our guests. We will always remember our experience at Halle St Peter's with the best memories. We just wish we could do it all again! Ellie & Kenji

The building is beautiful and full of character an

'After googling 'new and interesting places to get married in Manchester' Halle St Peter's popped up and we were instantly intrigued. As my husband, Tom, and I live in London, I asked my mother and father to visit along with a few other hotels in Manchester and let us know their initial thoughts. We weren't keen on the idea of a hotel wedding as we wanted something a little different. My mother knew as soon as she walked in that we were going to love it so we quickly made a booking to visit it for ourselves. The building is beautiful and full of character and I loved reading about the history of it. The surrounding area, while undergoing a dramatic regeneration, is somewhat 'urban' but we instantly fell in love and knew we would need a great photographer to help capture the uniqueness of the venue and the surrounding area. From cobbled streets to run down pubs they all add to the charm and vintage feel we were looking for our wedding. JPEvents were there for us every step of the way suggesting caterers, bands, photographers and florists. We chose to go with the recommended florists - Springbank and caterers - Chapman Holmes both were equally fabulous and we had so many people on the day praising the food and the flowers. The day ran exactly to plan with flawless transitions from Halle St Peters to our drinks reception in Halle St Michaels and back again. I really wanted our guests to fall in love with Halle St. Peters just like we did and when our guests arrived back after the drinks reception I could tell that they had. The candles and the lighting cast a magical glow over the whole room. Thank you to all involved. It was a day we will never forget. Elise and Tom McMullen'

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Halle St Peter's?

A wedding inspired by 1970s disco is hard to beat - yellow and orange flowers decorated the venue, with mirror balls hanging from every fixture. The tunes were groovy all day, and the evening ended with a very 70s buffet!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Get your registrar / church ceremony booked as soon as you've decided on a venue! In Manchester, registrars book up quickly, so it's best to book in early with your registrar and venue to avoid disappointment.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

As a music venue, we have multiple pianos throughout the building. It's always a beautiful moment when a friend or family member of the bride or groom plays during the wedding, but it was particularly special at one wedding when the groom, who was a concert pianist, surprised the room by playing a song that he'd written for his husband.

Describe Halle St Peter's in 5 adjectives

Elegant, traditional, modern, musical, historic.

Where’s the best photo spot at Halle St Peter's?

In front of the old church doors - our couples often get a confetti shot in front of these doors built in 1859.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Halle St Peter's?

John Cooper Clarke once read 'I Wanna Be Yours' at one of our weddings, which is about as Manc as it gets, really!

What is Halle St Peter's most unique feature?

The Rose Window, as we call it, is really beautiful during the day or at night - it's a circular stained glass window which pours light into the venue through a purple and blue tint.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

The history. It's so rare to work in a venue that holds so much history - as a church, St Peter's was at the heart of the old Ancoats community. Today, as a space used by the Hallé, we're at the heart of the new Ancoats community, as hundreds of neighbours drop in for coffee every day or join us for gigs, concerts and other events.
