Supplier Review
“I shot a wedding here and it’s such a beautiful and quirky place to get married 📸. The history of the venue goes without saying, and it really shows through in the images. The library is of course a favourite for portraits, as well as the large window in the ceremony room 📚 . There are lots of little things about this venue that makes it super special – the location is amazing with it being so close to the city centre, there’s a downstairs space for a drinks reception, and there’s even a little garden out front! To top off all of this the staff and volunteers were so lovely and accommodating, I felt really welcomed and at home here which makes my job so much easier. Would 100% recommend getting married here and would love to shoot here again!”
