Description
Setting
Victoria embodies the spirit of independence, endeavour and sustainability. She is for lovers and for fun! She is playful joy, old school romance and a champion of seeking out beauty everywhere. She is guided by destiny, built by endeavour and is a shining star for ‘ultimate reuse and recycle'...
You’ll find Victoria standing proud in Sheffield's industrial quarter of Neepsend and reignited from its former life - an ancient site for flower gardens and fruit orchards, a world war survivor, a home for a circus, a derelict redbrick and 1884 Chapel
For The Lovers of Details…
Lovers of small and captivating details will adore the hand drawn branding of Victoria’s circus horse and rider, hand-painted ‘dry brush’ way-finding, Pelegrims hand cleanser and the celestial incense fragrance custom made for VIC by Sheffield artisan Essence & Alchemy and romantics will love the tiny scrap of prayer sheet found lodged in an old wall cavity with the words ‘be thou my light’ and a tiny victorian tea cup preserved in a bricked up fireplace.
The Spaces...
The Clubhouse, flooding its vibrant oil paintings with dapples of natural light offers an intimate low seated cocktail bar perfect for welcome drinks and pre and post ceremony hand crafted tipples by night and a heavenly in-house coffee hangout...
Upstairs in The Chapel - named after it's original usage in 1884 - complete with the original Chapel alter clad in reclaimed mirror for dreamy ceremonies together with a stunning Juliette balcony opposite to compliment any wedding photo and 'the bouquet' throw!
Above the purpose built in-house kitchen sits The Lodge is a beautifully tranquil architectural space externally cladded with gorgeously charred Scots Pine and set for pre-ceremony interviews, quiet moments and photographs.
The Courtyard is a luxuriously large, private open space wrapping the front of Victoria, the perfect place for guests to marry and dine alfresco and continue the party in the balmy Summer months...Complete of course with a reclaimed brick cocktail bar.
Ceremony
Guests arrive and gather into Victoria's Clubhouse - for welcome drinks from a glorious reclaimed timber bar and nibbles from Victoria's Kitchen - take a seat in comfy armchairs or grab a sunny spot in The Courtyard...Before taking their seats upstairs in The Chapel for a light filled ceremony of dreams - complete with the original stage setting from 1884.
Victoria is fully licensed for marriage in all areas and has all of the inspiration for custom ceremonies led by celebrants and friends...
Reception
While guests are celebrating downstairs in The Clubhouse and outside in The Courtyard - The Chapel is transformed into a resplendent Feasting Hall for couples to welcome their friends and families to come together for 'Spectacular Eating', toasts and speeches. Dine in-amongst freshly cut florals and antique chandeliers - where tall candles melt and burn luxuriously and Victoria's team serve custom cocktails and seasonal feasting to surprise and delight.
Post feast - The Chapel's stage is filled with music - bands and DJ's - while Victoria's historic floorboards become the dance-floor of dreams - under triple height ceilings as the moon comes up and the stars come out.
There's always the option to continue the party in The Clubhouse - and don't miss the DJ booth in the wine cellar!
Food & Drink
Menus are designed, and made from scratch at Victoria’s Kitchen by the team for 'Spectacular Eating' for any occasion from seated supper clubs, grazing tables, festival plates and brasserie style events, the attention to detail remains paramount.
Food at Victoria is always about sharing - social, abundant and exceptionally tasty - always a talking point for guests long after the day has come to a close.
Cocktails are hand crafted, based around seasonality and made from infusions and tinctures with beautiful hand picked ingredients - and are often arranged as welcome drinks, toasts and 'to have with pudding'...
