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!
The staff were great. From booking it the communication was spot on. The food was great would defiantly recommend the £10 supplement for the fillet steak. Would defiantly recommend
Great communication from the venue - we're notified of the new layout of the building well in advance, and the new space we were given was great!
The room was fantastic, the staff were very helpful and welcoming and the food was delicious. I would definitely consider booking another event at the Banyan Corn Exchange.
Service and food were excellent. Beautiful room and we all really enjoyed it. The wine was beautiful too. We would definitely come back. Thanks to the team. 5 star quality.
Had a great experience at this venue for our work event last week. The space was nice, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout. The buffet food was good and suited our group well, making everything run smoothly. All in all, a great choice and would happily recommend!
To the whole team at Voco Manchester! I just want to say a massive massive thank you for anything you did leading up to my 30th birthday party! From booking initial with Jacob many months ago to the actual day itself, your service have been expectational! I couldn’t have asked for better support from your team! Everyone commented on how accommodating & patient you were. I cannot thank you enough. I will most certainly be retuning in the future & recommending you to everyone I know!! A massive massive thank you to Jacob! You have been awesome & so great throughout the entire process! You really went above and beyond to make sure I had a 30th celebration which I will remember for many years! Words cannot even begin to express my gratitude. Thank you Voco Manchester for providing such a beautiful atmosphere 🩷
Photis was really helpful throughout the booking process, nothing was too much trouble, the meze was lovely, and they catered for vegan and Gluten Free too. I would definitely recommend and go back.
The food was sensational and the service was 10 out of 10. We will definitely be coming back, extremely happy with how our meal went on Friday.
