- HHannah & Emily15/12/2024The BEST venue for a day that was completely us!The BEST venue for a day that was completely us!We chose the Engine Works for our October 2024 wedding and hands down this was the biggest and best decision we made for our day. The venue is amazing! We knew we wanted our day to be completely us and the fact that the EW is so personalisable is incredible - the sky is the limit! They were down with any ideas we had & so brilliant with giving us ideas and suggestions too. We loved that they had a list of recommended suppliers - we hired 3 suppliers from this. The space itself is gorgeous and spacious, whilst also feeling cosy - I have a big family and we ended up with just under 300 people in the evening, and all the spaces in the venue fitted everyone comfortably. The team we worked with were truly fantastic - Erin was our coordinator and put up with lots of random questions on emails and my military style precision with grace and patience - she really made us feel like we were the only wedding they had! Rebecca was our bar coordinator and again, couldn’t rate her more highly - it was a chaotic order and she handled it brilliantly (and gave us the idea for our Baby Guinness station!). Overall - we couldn’t recommend EW enough!We chose the Engine Works for our October 2024 wedding and hands down this was the biggest and best decision we made for our day. The venue is amazing!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
The best wedding that took place so far at the Engine Works is such a difficult question!
All of our weddings are amazing and I'm not just saying that. The aesthetic and ethos of The Engine Works is to tell a story and for our weddings it is the story of each couple - every single one is different.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Get involved and make it personal. Hire a stylist company to create your vision or enlist the help of friends and family to add some personal touches. That is what makes the day special and emulate your personality as a couple.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
My favourite personal touch was a back drop that the bride had designed and the groom created out of MDF. It was used for the ceremony and then for the speeches - I'm sure it now has another purpose in the couple's home.
Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
Unique, Fantastic ,Outstanding, Enchanting, Distinct [6th Magic (Scots adjective 😂)]
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
There are two:
From the top of the canal steps - the couple walking down or looking down at the full wedding party gathered on the terrace.
From under the crane during the couple's first dance. The couple in the forefront with all their guests behind them.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
We can't say!
What’s your favourite canapé?
Toasted brioche loaf stacked with creamy brie, smoked salmon and fruit jam.
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
Ice cream.
What is your venue's most unique feature?
The Royce crane designed by automotive royalty, Sir Henry Royce.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
The fact that the building has been so beautifully restored with attention to detail. I love it.
