Manchester Town Hall

If like me and you like old buildings you will love holding your wedding in Manchester Town Hall, its the perfect back drop for your wedding photos. Every time I am in the town hall I see something new. With the age of the building their are a few issues, the lights don’t dim this is where my uplighting service come in to its own.

Manchester Town hall is steeped in a wealth of history and exudes an elegance rarely found elsewhere for those looking for a wedding, civil ceremony or reception with a difference the Town Hall in Manchester is the perfect choice.

The Town Hall is run by Manchester City Council contact details can be found >> here << There are 4 main function rooms I have worked in them all.

Great Hall

This is the biggest function room in Manchester Town Hall. To bring the great hall fully alive it takes 36 floor standing led up lights, as I only use led up lights they don’t get hot making the lights child friendly.

Pink was the colour the bride picked for this wedding in the Great Hall, as i was working elsewhere in the evening I could not get any might time pictures.

Banqueting Hall

I have provided both discos and up lighting in the Banqueting hall many times. There are fantastic views over Albert square from the huge windows.

At this wedding I provided a winter wonderland theme by using blue uplights and snowflake projection.

Client Feedback

Lighting hire for Lee….Peter recently provided lighting for our wedding at Manchester Town Hall. Peter was extremely helpful in suggesting what would be most effective and organising things with the Town Hall and the lighting looked fantastic on the day. Overall Peter provided a fantastic service and we would highly recommend them.

Sarah lighting,background music and wedding disco….If there’s a better DJ out there I’d like to meet him. We couldn’t have asked for better or more friendly service. Nothing was too much effort for our big day.

Becci wedding disco….We would like to say a big thank you, we had such a great wedding and we and our guests really enjoyed the disco, everyone was up and dancing which was just what we had hoped for. Peter was very friendly and did a brilliant job of keeping everyone happy, thanks again.

Kathryn & Adam background music and wedding disco….Just wanted to say a big thank you from the two of us for providing the music (and occasional morale support!) for our wedding in June.

We really enjoyed the day & are convinced that having you play during the meal really set the scene & helped our families & friends to relax & enjoy themselves. One of our favourite memories is seeing our guests singing away to daydream believer and swaying in their seats – & they weren’t even drunk then!!

Lots of people commented on the music told us what a great time they had & you played a big part in that. Thanks again & all the best
