My Favourite Wedding Venues in Manchester for Modern, Natural Brides
Manchester is such a brilliant city to get married in, it’s creative, full of character, and home to some truly iconic wedding venues. If you're planning a city celebration and are drawn to the idea of natural bridal hair and makeup, this list is for you. My trusted team of artists regularly work with brides across the city, offering relaxed, modern styles that still feel beautifully polished.
Here are some of our favourite Manchester wedding venues that pair perfectly with a calm, natural look.
King Street Townhouse
Tucked away in the heart of the city, King Street Townhouse is ideal for a stylish, intimate wedding. The rooftop terrace offers stunning views of Manchester’s skyline, while the interiors feel luxurious without being overly formal. Perfect for couples who want something smart, atmospheric, and effortlessly elegant.
Victoria Baths
Victoria Baths is a Grade II* listed building with serious personality. Once a public bathhouse, it now hosts weddings in a space full of colour, tilework, and history. It’s a bold choice, but one that works beautifully for couples looking to do things a bit differently.
Fivefourstudios
Creative, industrial and endlessly versatile, Fivefourstudios is a blank canvas with a cool edge. The natural light makes it a dream for photos, and the pared-back style gives you plenty of room to make it your own. A great match for brides wanting something clean and contemporary.
Manchester Art Gallery
Elegant, airy, and full of culture, Manchester Art Gallery offers a refined backdrop in the heart of the city. If you're leaning into a more classic look with a soft modern edge, this venue is the perfect pairing.
Manchester Hall
With its grand interiors and moody character, Manchester Hall has a dramatic charm that suits weddings with a sense of occasion. The original features add depth and history, while still leaving space for a modern-day celebration.
Elizabeth Gaskell’s House
A warm, romantic venue with a literary twist. This beautifully preserved Victorian home is ideal for smaller weddings, with period details and charming garden spaces. A wonderful choice for couples who love history, books, and intimate gatherings.
Didsbury House Hotel
Located just outside the city centre, Didsbury House is a boutique townhouse hotel with elegant styling and a relaxed feel. Perfect for couples who want something understated but beautiful, and it works wonderfully for smaller guest lists.
