The perfect location no matter the number of wedding guests. All wedding ceremonies are held in the Pankhurst Suite of Heron House.
If you’re looking to elope all you’ll need is a couple of witness, your wedding vows and the rings. If you’re after a bigger celebration there’s room for up to 66 guests in this modern space.
THE LOCATION
CITY CENTRE
City centre weddings have a playful, electric energy you can’t fake. You slip into a room, say your vows and step straight back into the rhythm of the city — traffic, laughter, coffee shops buzzing, strangers cheering you on. It’s spontaneous, joyful, and full of those big, little moments that feel like a movie.

PHOTO READY
BACKDROP
The advantage of getting married in Manchester City centre is that you can have endless options for your wedding photographs after your ceremony. If you like the architecture of the city we can go to Albert Square with the Town Hall as a backdrop or to the Central Library, my personal fave. Fancy a bit more edge? something a little more unique? Ancoats, the Northern Quarter and Castlefield are all within a few minutes walk away.

SEE A REAL WEDDING AT MANCHESTER REGISTRY OFFICE
Hey, I’m Toni. I love old photographs, the kind with crumpled edges that your grandparents would dig out on a rainy day. I love that they would always know the full story hidden within every single one. I have an obsession with polaroids and real film, giving me that feeling where one memory could live a life of it’s own.
