Great space for our event - we ended up using just the small space around the kitchen which was perfect.

Space was clean and exactly as advertised. Not enough control of the lights in the room for shooting purposes but if you just need a well lit nicely decorated room for a scene this place can work just fine.

This was my second time renting out Peter's loft for a brand photoshoot. Both experiences were really great! The loft is very spacious for our team and also allowed us to comfortably set up a studio set. Peter is very prompt to reply and ensured we had everything we need for a smooth shoot.

How to Save Money on Your Wedding in Manchester

Weddings can easily throw your credit into the red, so you want to stay within your wedding budget. By considering a few tips and tricks, you can focus on the most important elements you need to have a special day without getting into debt.

Do something different with the menu.

You don't need a sit-down, multi-course meal with your guests. Consider creating a fun menu that's also kinder to your budget. Turn your wedding location into a street food venue with delicious Manchester foods, or host a potluck with dishes made from fresh, local ingredients.

Choose a cost-effective wedding date.

Some times of the year are more budget-friendly than others. Generally, hosting a wedding between late autumn and early spring means you can make the most of vendor and venue discounts. Avoid the popular summer wedding season if you can!

Don't forget those sneaky costs.

There are some extra expenses that can crop up during the wedding-planning process, like vendor delivery costs. Ask about these upfront so you can include them in your wedding budget.

Decorate the cake with real flowers.

Instead of spending a lot of money on a tiered wedding cake that has lots of decorations, choose a simple cake from your local store and decorate it yourself with edible flowers, like violets, sunflowers, lavender, and Gerber daisies. This is an easy DIY hack for amazing wedding cakes!
