Description

The Monastery is a Grade II* listed heritage site and neo-gothic architectural treasure once listed in the world’s top 100 endangered sites alongside Pompeii and the Taj Mahal. This truly unique and inspiring venue provides a breathtakingly romantic backdrop to your special day.

The Great Nave, the main event space at The Monastery, with its spectacularly high ceilings, stained glass windows and grand altar, can cater for up to 350 guests. The atmospheric lighting can transform the space from a stunning daytime ceremonial space to a dramatic night-time party venue.

Located just outside of Manchester city centre, The Monastery offers a cathedral-like setting with an urban twist. The courtyard garden offers a beautiful and intimate space, perfect for photographs and outdoor reception drinks, and providing a peaceful retreat only a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The Monastery is owned and operated by a Charitable Trust - meaning your wedding would directly contribute to the upkeep of this magnificent building, and help us support the local community through our charitable projects!

We know your wedding day is as unique as you, so here at The Monastery we build all of our weddings on a bespoke basis.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch - we'd love to chat with you about your wedding in more detail.
