MANCHESTER
THE GREATEST SHOW OF ALL
WELCOME TO THE ALBERT HALL
We deliver a prestigious calendar of live music shows. It’s what
we do. In 2013, a friend of ours asked if they could have their
special day in The Albert Hall. Of course, we said yes. Since then,
more and more people have tied the knot with us. Now
weddings are what we do too.
MAKE IT HAPPEN
Each wedding is unique, but to give you some inspiration, we
have put together The Albert Hall Wedding Guide to show
you what we can provide and how to make it happen.
THE HEART OF MANCHESTER
Our Grade II listed home is located on Peter Street Manchester,
adjacent to Deansgate, making it one of the most accessible and
central wedding locations in the city.

ALL UNDER
ONE ROOF
We are licensed for full wedding ceremonies, meaning you
can have the ceremony, the drinks, the feast and the party,
all under one historical roof.
Designed for worship and lovingly restored as a place of
celebration, The Albert Hall was originally built as a Wesleyan
Chapel. Huge stained glass windows, ceiling arches, and
ornate vestibules create one of the most atmospheric yet
intimate spaces.
AWARD
WINNING
FOOD,DRINK &
ENTERTAINMENT
The ground floor of The Albert Hall is home to Albert's
Schloss, our Bier Palace & Cook Haus, meaning that you can
expect the same award winning level of food, drink and
entertainment that has become our standard.

YOUR SPACE
YOUR STYLE
We can host weddings and private parties for up to 300 guests and
provide a range of creative wedding styles; from formal banquets to

To give you an idea of what you and your guests will experience, we
have put together some of our most popular wedding menus, but
please remember, the space is yours to create whatever you
envisage for your perfect day.
