-
The venue’s location – if you’re after something centric or off the beaten path, be sure to check the closest Metrolink stop and parking facilities nearby.
-
The style of the venue – are you searching for a quirky bar on Canal Street, a vibrant spot on Deansgate or maybe something off-the-wall in the Northern Quarter? Whatever it is you’re looking for, we’re able to help you select a venue that reflects the personality of the couple.
-
The venue’s capacity – engagement parties vary in size. Make sure the engagement party venue of your choice is able to accommodate all your guests – on the other hand, avoid hiring a space you won’t be able to fill.

Verified Reviews of Engagement Party Venues in Manchester
Excellent communication from Jacob from the beginning. No question was too silly or too much! The venue itself is absolutely amazing. So much room and the staff had everything set up for us already when we arrived. The staff on the night were so helpful, nothing was too much effort - they really went above and beyond. We have had so much positive feedback from our guests and we ourselves had such an enjoyable evening here.
Great communication with lauren from start to finish. She prepare the room with how we wanted. She look after us all night. Me and my guest had amazing night for my engagement party. It offers a great package
We held our engagement party here and the whole evening was fantastic from start to finish. The staff were amazing and could not have done more for us! All the staff were incredibly accommodating and allowed us to come in early to set up and drop food off, as we did self-catering. I could not recommend The Wayfarer enough for any event and we will definitely be back in the future. All of our guests commented on how lovely the venue was and the amazing bar staff we had. Big thank you to The Wayfarer for giving us such a special evening.
We had the most wonderful party downstairs in the private room. The staff could not have been more accommodating and friendly.
Excellent and fast communication from the staff via Tagvenue - expectations of the use of the space were made clear. Staff on the day were really helpful in terms of set-up (music, candles, food storage) and the bar staff on duty were lovely. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend the space (and probably use it again ourselves!).
Finally managed to get back to reality after what can only be described as the BEST En’GAY’gement party we could have asked for. Saturday 9th March, Hosted by the team at Tiki Hideaway bar, this bar is a small venue that you can have up to 40 guests in a roped off area, with plenty of space to dance in and tables to sit at while enjoying the Fire cocktails being made. The Manager Will was an absolute dream, he was checking in on us, anything we asked was no bother. He ensured we had the best night celebrating our engagement. The bar staff were phenomenal. Mira, Kelly and Courtney, a huge shoutout to you for all of your hard work and we are very grateful to have been placed with such great staff. You three really are a credit to this company. So kind and hard working, the 3 of them impressed all of our guests and we really hope to find an event to host it at this bar again soon. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay put all evening, with friends and or family I really would recommend Tiki Hideaway Manchester. I booked this through Tag venue, where I spoke with Heather, who also was just amazing at her job and very helpful and was able to give me the best tips as to how many pizzas to order or how we should give drinks tokens to everyone etc. Thanks again Team we had a blast. Leoni and Hannah xx p.s I will be posting this on all review platforms.
Amazing venue and Victoria has been so helpful. She made our event run seamlessly and was so helpful in the lead up!
