Supplier Reviews
“I’d like to say that the staff at Elizabeth Gaskell’s House were absolutely amazing when I provided them with flowers for a wedding in May 2024. The wedding flowers were wild and loose with lots of lavender which perfectly tied in with the house decor. The team were all there and ready to assist on my arrival and were so lovely and helpful. I couldn’t have asked for anything more and would 100% recommend them as a wedding venue.”

“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!”
