Why Five Four Studios Should Be Your Wedding Venue

Five Four Studios, in the heart of Manchester, is a wedding venue with a simple yet stylish vibe, perfect for couples looking to create a unique wedding. When thinking wedding venue, most people don’t envision a photography studio, but Five Four is the perfect chic, blank space to create your dream day. Here are all the reasons I love it and think you will too.

Location and Setting

Five Four Studios is right in the middle of Manchester. There’s loads of transport options and plenty of hotels in the area, making it really accessible for you and your guests. It’s in a converted old warehouse, so it has that cool industrial feel, mixed with the modern touches of it being a photography studio.

Venue Spaces

You’ve got options at Five Four Studios. The main space ‘Studio 1’ is big and bright, with plenty of room for your ceremony and reception, this has a capacity of 120 guests. If you’re planning a smaller wedding, the Loft is cozy and intimate, and can host up to 60. And if you want to take the party outside, there’s a Terrace for al fresco celebrations – the perfect spot for an evening pizza van to keep the party going. Five Four also has a super cool, speakeasy style bar, a great place to spend your cocktail hour. As for evening guests, you can fit up to 240. One of the things I love most about Five Four Studios as a wedding venue, is you’ve got so many options to really use the spaces to create the day you’ve always imagined.

Features and Amenities

Five Four Studios has everything you need. They’ve got good sound systems and comfy seats, a fully licensed bar, so you can ensure your guests will be happy. The venue’s staff are another thing that really makes this venue shine, they are committed to ensuring that your wedding day is flawless, providing exceptional service and support from start to finish. They are constantly working with a huge range of creatives so access to their contact list and expertise is reason enough to book this place. They also make an excellent oat flat white and if you’ve been around for a while, you’ll know that’s the key to my heart.

Catering and Beverage Options

When it comes to food and drinks, Five Four Studios has you covered. They work with some great catering companies to give you plenty of options. Whether you want a fancy dinner, or a food van for a more casual affair, they’ll make sure you and your guests are well-fed and happy. If you’ve already got a caterer in mind, that’s cool too as they welcome catering companies outside of their list.
