A dream wedding venue
Our wedding at the Art Gallery on Weds 29th Dec was a day that far exceeded our expectations and thanks to all of the fantastic people involved in organising our day , with be one of the best and happiest days of our lives. It was an absolutely wonderful event. Victoria, Debbie, Adam, Ryan and all of their staff where an absolutely dream. The welcome was extraordinary, the drinks perfect..and the food was heaven and all of our guests Carnivores-Vegans and everything in between praised the food to the highest. The wonderful team at the Gallery all went the extra mile and made our occasion extra special. It’s rare to find such wonderful people all of who do such an amazing job, so on behalf of me and my husband I wanted to recommend the venue and say if you're lucky enough to be able to get married there you should grab the opportunity with both hands. And that's just because of the people involved ...when you add in the most amazing surroundings ... the architecture, art work, lighting, history....wow..wow..wow... you have a breathtaking event that would be hard to beat.

We couldn't recommend Manchester Art Gallery More Highly!
We can’t recommend the gallery and the team who work there enough - they made our day so memorable and their support was invaluable throughout the process. Our co-ordinator Victoria was extremely knowledge and helpful, always trying to help us in whatever way she could. The food was delicious and top quality, everyone commented on how it was presented and the innovative menu.

It was perfect in every aspect
Just to thank you and your entire team on behalf of all of us for last night’s event. It was perfect in every aspect. The venue worked fabulously well and got so many great comments. The food was great, the wine and table service was just right and the attention to detail impressive. The perfect venue for a stylish wedding. Kind regards Richard.

Manchester Art Gallery was, without a doubt, the best venue we could have picked for our wedding
"Manchester Art Gallery was, without a doubt, the best venue we could have picked for our wedding reception! The events team were fantastic in the run-up to the event, helping ensure we had everything in place and any special requests were catered for. When it came to the day, all the guests commented on how special the venue was, and how brilliant the in-house catering was. If you want a stunning drinks reception among paintings, dinner surrounded by artwork, and a great party after, then look no further! We would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone!"
