Information For The Monastery Manchester

The Monastery is a Grade II* listed heritage site and neo-gothic architectural treasure once listed in the world’s top 100 endangered sites alongside Pompeii and the Taj Mahal. This truly unique and inspiring venue provides a breathtakingly romantic backdrop to your special day.

The Great Nave, the main event space at The Monastery, with its spectacularly high ceilings, stained glass windows and grand altar can cater for 70 to 350 guests. The Monastery’s beautiful lighting can transform this striking Manchester wedding venue from stunning daytime ceremonial space to dramatic night-time party venue.

Located just outside of Manchester city centre, The Monastery offers a cathedral like setting with an urban twist. The Monastery’s Secret Garden offers an intimate space perfect for photographs and outdoor reception drinks, providing a peaceful retreat only a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The Monastery is owned and operated by a Charitable Trust - holding your wedding here helps to maintain and protect this important site of historic, architectural significance for generations to come.

Do not leave everything until the last minute with your planning.

Choose a venue where it doesn't matter what the weather is doing. You could save money getting married outside the popular summer months and the rain won't affect your day or your photographs.

A hard one!!! Think about You and not everyone else coming to the wedding. Its your special day so make sure its everything you dreamed of. Your guests will have an amazing time anyway...
