The Monastery Manchester

The team at The Monastery were simply wonderful and ensured that our day ran smoothly. We had the most amazing time with our family and friends and my instructions for the table decorations for the meal were followed perfectly. A breathtaking venue and an excellently supportive team.

Fabulous. We booked our wedding before the pandemic and were meant to marry on the 1st August 2020. After rescheduling twice (the first time to April 4th 2021), we eventually tied the knot on the 12 February 2022. Nothing was too much for the team at The Monastery to do. Fran was there every step of the way and helped with every query. The day was beautiful - We provided our own table centrepieces and decorations which Fran was happy to set up before our arrival! Every member of the team was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. Requests were carried out right away. We had such a fabulous day, celebrating with family and friends in a stunning building with an amazing team to cater for us. It could not have been better.

From the moment we first viewed the Monastery we fell in love with it, it really does sell itself. Like many who’ve married over recent months, we’d had to postpone our original date but it was worth the wait to have the prefect day with all of our family and friends there. The whole process from the first meetings and booking, dealing with the postponement and rearranging everything and also dealing with some special requirements we had for a disabled family member was dealt with perfectly by Fran and the team. Fran made everything much easier and less stressful than it could have been especially in the current climate, we were always put at ease and felt confident that everything would come together when the day finally arrived! All staff on the day were great too, we really couldn’t recommend the Monastery highly enough, we had the perfect day

We got married at the Monastery on the 12th of April 2019. After attending a wedding there back in 2014 I was adamant that I would get married there one day. From the first time I took my now husband he fell in love with the venue and we are eternally grateful to Gaynor Jones and everyone at the Monastery for making our (my! ha!) dreams come to life. We were initially liaising with someone else however she left but switching to work with Gaynor was one of the best things that happened. She is extremely knowledgeable, she is efficient, passionate and hilarious and from our first meeting we hit it off, Gaynor was unbelievable from start to finish she was there the second I pulled up in my car and was the last person I spoke to before I walked down the aisle. The service from all the staff on the day was fantastic and we adored Simon who was the ops manager on the day, he is absolutely wonderful! The food was exquisite I could only see empty plates from my seat and the whole day was organised and ran to perfection. I just wish I could relive it all again!

Fantastic and historical place to hold a wedding! Very grand and beautiful settings based in Manchester. I had my wedding there and was over the moon with the outcome of my day! Food was fantastic and the staff was very helpful. I had two fantastic wedding planners who help organise the whole day and who was constantly there at the end of an email for me! very professionally ran and everyone had an incredible day!

Attended a wedding here, what a fantastic venue. Atmosphere was mindblowing, the food was good. A bit strange to be disco dancing near the altar but apart from that a good place to hold your wedding. The grounds for pictures was beautiful.

From the moment I walked in I felt calm and relaxed because I knew everything was organised and under control. The Great Nave looked amazing, I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming! We would also like to thank the caterers because the food was excellent. It was the best day of our lives and a day we'll never forget.

Thank you so much for all of your help with our special day! The venue sold itself and the staff at the Monastery were awesome. We could not have planned a better ceremony.

The venue is stunning and makes for beautiful pictures. The staff were helpful and responsive. They were flexible with us dropping stuff off, setting up and suppliers! The staff on the day couldn’t have done more. Everything we asked was done with a smile! Fantastic day!

"From first contact at the Monastery to the very day they were absolutely amazing!! It was honestly all down to the team there that it all turned out so perfect on the day!! It really was an amazing day and everything looked and turned out better than we could have imagined! To have people who supported us in our wedding and make you feel like you have gained new friends is a massive credit to the team."
