Looking for something smaller? Our private breakout spaces are ideal for intimate dinners and quieter moments throughout the day.

Location & Contact Details for The Ministry
Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
One that stands out is a December 2023 wedding where a couple, together for 13 years, finally said "I do" surrounded by family, friends, and a little festive magic. The venue was transformed with subtle fairy lights and elegant Christmas décor, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere that felt straight out of a winter romance.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Do what makes you happy. It’s your day, and every choice—big or small—should reflect what you and your partner want. Friends and family are there to celebrate you, so plan a wedding that feels right for both of you, not just what others expect.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
A basket of flip-flops for guests who wanted to ditch their heels and keep the party going—simple, thoughtful, and a guaranteed dancefloor hit.
Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
Bold, stylish, dynamic, unexpected, and effortlessly cool.
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
The entranceway. From the staircase to our signature heart mirror, it’s the perfect place to capture the start of your wedding story.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
We couldn’t possibly say... We like to keep our guests’ secrets as safe as the last slice of wedding cake. But let’s say, you’d be in good company.
What’s your favourite canapé?
Anything that pairs well with champagne. But a smoked salmon blini? That’s a classic we’ll never say no to.
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
Pizza. Because when the dance floor’s heating up, nothing hits the spot like a slice (or two).
What is your venue's most unique feature?
Our vanity on the lower floor. It’s a space where glam meets practicality, with mirrors all around, hair tools, ties, spray, and even GHD straighteners – everything you need to make sure you look your best before you say “I do.”
What part of your business are you most proud of?
Our team! They're always ready to go above and beyond to make sure every wedding is the special day, with the kind of care and attention that makes all the difference.
