Many locations are flexible with catering and decor options, allowing you to bring in your own suppliers if you prefer. Some places, like the largest event space at voco Manchester, offer catering packages, but if you have specific tastes or dietary needs, ask if you can use an external caterer. The same goes for decorations; just check with the venue for any restrictions, especially for things like candles or hanging decor.
