An amazing day!

Thank you so much for everything on Saturday, we had an amazing day! It surpassed expectations and walking in to the lovely atmosphere was a highlight - I think you’ll agree the florist did an amazing job and we were blown away! The food was great, we had so many lovely comments and once again thanks so much to the chef for sourcing the meat from Simon’s work. It meant a lot to him and our guests.

A perfect day in such a unique and beautiful setting

We chose the Gallery for our ceremony and the Artisan for our reception, and we couldn’t have picked a better venue. From our first visit the team were wonderful, Jonny took away so many wedding planning nerves with his professional and calm demeanor. Everything was smooth sailing on the day because the team are brilliant. The venue is an absolutely beautiful backdrop to the celebration and all of our guests mentioned what a lovely place The Biscuit Factory is and raved about the wonderful food too! It was start to finish a perfect day in such a unique and beautiful setting and we couldn’t be more grateful to the whole team.

An amazing wedding

We chose the gallery for the ceremony and Artisan for the reception. The whole experience from the first look around was just absaloutly amazing. The Events team are so friendly and accommodating and I never felt like anything was a stilupid question. They bent over backwards to make sure our wedding day went beautifully and worked really well with the suppliers that we had. The gallery was stunning for the ceremony and Artisan was absaloutly perfect for our 50ish guests. The food was delicious and the guests all commented about how lovely the venue was but most importantly to us they were comfortable and had a good time. I would 100% reccomend the Biscuit Factory for a wedding.

Unique venue

I love photographing weddings at The Biscuit Factory! It's so unique to be able to have your ceremony in the art gallery. There are lots of cool urban locations around the Ouseburn to go to for couples portraits with a cool city vibe too!

We knew it was the one straight away

We chose The Biscuit Factory because it was so different to all the other wedding venues we’ve been to as guests. It was our second wedding venue we had viewed and we knew it was the one straight away. Everyone there is so welcoming and helpful and it just has such a chilled out vibe which is what we wanted for our wedding day.
