Eight wedding venues near Manchester with stunning locations for pictures

Wedding season is getting back in full swing and choosing a location is perhaps the most important part of many couples’ big day.

There are so many venues now which are licenced to host wedding and civil ceremonies that it can be hard to choose.

One of the biggest expenditures after the venue, catering and the dresses can be photography. Therefore, it’s really important to get the look you want for the photos that you’ll be looking back fondly on for years to come - and probably be sharing on Instagram too!

So whether you want a modern city backdrop, the water’s edge, or rolling countryside hills, here’s some of our favourites.
