Many venues in Manchester offer in-house catering, like Sanskruti Restaurant, which provides a per-person pricing option. However, if you'd prefer to bring your own food, some spaces like St Kentigern's Parish Hall in Fallowfield and Heritage 1907 - Ram Mill in Chadderton allow external catering, making planning easier. You can use our search filter to find venues with the catering option you want.
Manchester City Centre is an obvious favourite thanks to its mix of modern venues and iconic locations, like voco Manchester and The Vine Inn, both easily accessible by public transport. For venues with more flair, head to Chinatown, where you can host a special celebration at The Dome, which has lovely city views. If you prefer a more relaxed setting, Castlefield is a beautiful neighbourhood with cobbled streets and canals, featuring venues like The Stables, offering a charming escape from the city buzz.
First, book your venue early—popular spots, especially christening venues in the city centre can fill up fast. Choose a venue with indoor and outdoor options in case of bad weather. For family-friendly events, book venues with high chairs and baby-changing facilities. Pick a venue near public transport so it is easier for your friends and families from different areas. Also, double-check the venue's decoration and catering policies, especially if you want to bring in your food or add personal touches. Lastly, don't forget to plan for parking, particularly in popular areas like Piccadilly where space can be limited!
