Based on the popularity and user ratings on Tagvenue (updated September 2025), the best options include:

Many large conference venues in Manchester provide in-house catering services, ensuring a seamless experience for event organisers. Some examples include the Manchester Conference Centre & Pendulum Hotel accommodating 300 guests, and the King's House Conference Centre can host up to 400 people. This means you can arrange everything from coffee breaks to full meals without the hassle of coordinating with external vendors.

 

It's best to book a large conference venue in Manchester at least 6 months to a year in advance. This is especially important if you want to host your event during busy times of the year, like spring or autumn. Booking early helps ensure you get the venue you want and can sometimes get you a better deal.

Serving alcohol is possible at many large conference venues in Manchester, especially in hotels and dedicated event spaces. However, you should check with the venue about their specific rules and any required licences. Venues like Voco Manchester and The Edwardian Manchester often have bar services or allow you to hire an external vendor to serve alcohol.

Booked Icon VIP Lounge at Manchester235

We recently hosted our awards evening at the Iconic VIP Lounge and I couldn't be more thrilled with how the evening turned out. From the very beginning the communication was exceptional. The events team was attentive, efficient and incredibly helpful in ensuring the venue was ready and everything was in place ahead of time. A huge thank you to Justyna who went above and beyond to get the venue prepared a day before the event to do the final checks. Her support and professionalism leading up to the event gave our organisation a complete peace of mind - everything was ready to go! On the night itself the frontline staff were outstanding! They created a welcoming upbeat atmosphere and made sure our guests were well looked after throughout the evening. The venue itself brought an exciting and classy energy - lively, glamourous, and filled with positivity. The casino setting added a unique buzz that everyone loved giving the whole event a touch of Las Vegas right in Manchester! The service, setting and support were second to none. Thank you again to the amazing team and Greg for helping us create such a memorable night at the Icon Lounge!
