Location near Manchester Oxford Road station. The venue itself was stunning, great reception and attention to details. The event room was great, with lots of wonderful touches (like a record player!) and all the facilities needed. The staff were friendly and professional. They catered to last minute asks, without any fuss and positive attitude. Excellent!
