- LLorna28/04/2023Fantastic wedding venue!!!Fantastic wedding venue!!!We held our wedding reception at The Refinery in early July and we couldn't have been happier with how it all went. From the first time we met Will (the wedding planner at the venue) the summer before, we knew we were in good hands. Will was so friendly and supportive, and made the whole planning process very relaxed and straightforward. We had over 170 guests at our wedding and it was all managed with such ease. On the day itself everyone had a brilliant time!! All of our family and friends comWe held our wedding reception at The Refinery in early July and we couldn't have been happier with how it all went.
