Description

We are a completely unique and entirely innovative event space in the heart of Manchester. With exposed walls, stone oors and a raw urban backdrop; the simplicity of our venue provides a stunning setting for your wedding day. Built in the early 1900s as predominantly a cotton storage facility, our warehouse buildings have stood as a symbol of this city’s industrial strength and innovation for around 100 years. Since then, careful renovations have made it a venue to capture the imagination and create a surprisingly romantic backdrop for many couples. Here at Victoria Warehouse we realise every wedding is unique, and whether you plan a traditional format to the day or a more personal celebration; our dedicated wedding team will work closely with you to ensure your special day runs to perfection. We have four amazing spaces for you to choose from; The Bays, The Archives, The Cellars and The Cotton Sheds - all fully licensed for a civil ceremony. We also welcome external catering for religious and cultural ceremonies and celebrations. Dry Hire for these events starts at £6,000.00 inc. VAT.

The best day, at the best venue!

We had the most amazing experience at Victoria Warehouse, right from the initial viewing/contact, through to the wedding and beyond. Eve was our lead coordinator, she had wonderful communication throughout and had such a great knowledge base whenever we needed help. She recommended suppliers, helped with suggestions to make our ideas come to life, nothing was too much trouble. The venue itself was so perfect for our winter wedding, keeping everyone warm and dry inside for the day/night. The bar space was perfect to house everything we wanted to bring in (mini golf, sweet carts, games, craft corner, face painters, beer pong etc) leaving the main room free for eating/dancing. We also loved the outside space, with room for smoke bombs, sparklers etc and some amazing industrial look photos. Our on the day coordinators were both so lovely and helpful, they went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our day. They helped with everything from the set up to the derig, with lots of fun chats and care in between! The in house caterers also need a special mention. Every one of our guests have commented on how incredible the food was, that they'd never had wedding food like it and we have to agree. We booked the street food option and had gyros. They were delicious! And the evening burgers were incredible too. We would highly recommend Victoria Warehouse to anyone looking at this style of venue. We wish we could do the day all over again!

Over the moon...

I just wanted to email to say a huge thank you to Eve, Jade and the whole team. Jade was so great at making everything run smoothly and the food was incredible, we could not have had a better day in any shape or form. Thank you so much for your help organising. We are truly over the moon with how it all turned out. Thank you so so so much,

The perfect day...

What you want from a venue is someone who can roll with the issues and sort them out without and fuss or drama along with obviously being a great venue. Our tables \ linen didn't turn up but Victoria Warehouse just sorted it out and only told us once they had fixed it - perfect. And to top it off, I'm fairly certain it looked better than we had planned :-D The staff were lovely and really looked after us, sorted out things in the background and never let anything become an issue or a stress for either of us. The food was perfect. Everything from start to finish went perfectly and I think VW deserve a lot of the praise for it :-)

The Happiest Day Of My Life Made Easy

Victoria Warehouse made what could have been one of the most stressful days logistically a really easy day for us so we were able to fully enjoy our day. Whether it was going through the schedule with us, reminding us of some smaller details that may have slipped our minds, or just keeping us calm at the nervous moments of the day. The space was fantastic with great utilisation of space and efficiency of turning the room around for the different parts of the day and evening. Couldn’t fault a single member of staff, the service was great and the food was perfect, leaving most guests having had just the right amount of food to fill them up whilst not over indulging and the quality of the food was amazing. We had the chance for a tasting evening prior to the event to pick our menu and no expense was spared for that, yet somehow they managed to take the quality one step further on the day! We would thoroughly recommend booking at Victoria Warehouse for any similar events and everyone at the wedding just couldn’t get over how beautiful the venue was!

The day of dreams

Victoria warehouse is just amazing. From the day we walked in we fell in love with the industrial look of the buildings. From the planning to the wedding breakfast tasting to the day of our wedding the venue and staff was brilliant.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Victoria Warehouse?

No two weddings are the same but we've seen some pretty amazingly themed weddings from an Alice in Wonderland to and a Harry Potter wedding.

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

Research. We would recommend that all our couples take the time out to research thoroughly from the venues to the vendors and suppliers, right down to the littlest details. Double check the prices for everything and get clear confirmation of the arrangements they are making rather than assuming an arrangement has been made.

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

The human touch. Some of the weddings we've seen have really told the journey of the couple and have been quite intimate. That humanistic approach really made us savour the day as it was and the story being told through couple.
