The most amazing wedding day ever
We had our wedding here and it was the most magical night.

Halloween Wedding
We got married at the city rooms just last week. It was such an amazing day. Everything went exactly how we'd planned. Emily and the entire staff were excellent. The cleaners were brilliant. The Operations manager was fantastic. The food was excellent and so many people said it was the best wedding they'd been to. A massive thank you to Emily and the entire team for helping us with our very special day

Wedding Day
My daughter got married at this venue. Everything about it was perfect . From the moment we went to view the venue to planning the wedding with the most loveliest wedding coordinater Emily. There was nothing that wasn’t possible for her. She made my daughter’s vision come to life of the most important day of her life. So Thank you Emily and everyone at City Rooms x

Everything was amazing
We had our review at The City Rooms and everything was exceptional. Beth ran the show and was nothing short of impeccable. I can’t overstate how cool, calm, professional and engaged she was through the entire process. Genuinely one of the best experiences having Beth at The City Rooms. Venue is so so beautiful, food was completed over and over and everything was just amazing.

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

At a recent winter wedding the couple went for an enchanted winter wonderland theme and decorated the venue in branches and trees.

The couple had a little surprise for guests too – they had an owl fly the rings up the aisle!
