Manchester Cathedral

Wedding Venue in Manchester

The feel

Manchester Cathedral has been a place of welcome and hospitality for over 1300 years. The current medieval structure built by Henry V dates from 1421. Located in Manchester city centre in the heart of the Medieval Quarter, the surrounding public realm together with the interior setting of the cathedral offers an ideal place to host an array of multi-faceted events, concerts, brand launches, conferences and intimate fine-dining and grand gala dinners.

Marriage

Celebrating the gift of love in the life-long commitment of marriage is a great joy, and we welcome enquiries about marriage.

Anyone can get married in a Church of England Church, but it is easier to be married in a local parish church than in a Cathedral, for which there are stricter regulations. The stricter regulations for cathedrals mean that you will only be eligible to be married in the Cathedral if:

– You live in the Residual Parish of the Cathedral, or
– You have been a regular worshipper at the Cathedral for at least six months and are a member of the Cathedral’s Community Roll.
