The most sincere and deep thanks for making our wedding day so special and so seamless! Ben and I had the most magical day. We loved every moment. You made the planning so easy and so fun. The running on the day was perfect. Yourself, Glen and the team were a wonderful. We are so grateful, thank you so much.
Thank you to you and all the staff that helped make our day amazing. All the daytime and evening staff were fantastic. Thank you again for all your hard work and a wonderful day.
Please pass on from our society a huge thanks for our morning visit, from the excellent coffee and pastries to our talk which was so informative on the whole history of the area, and our tour of the nave. I was amazed at the progress you have made from my original very cold visit with English Heritage in the winter of 2005.
I had my wedding at The Monastery Manchester and was over the moon with the outcome of my day! Food was fantastic and the staff were very helpful. I had two fantastic wedding planners who helped organise the whole day and who were constantly there at the end of an email for me! Very professionally run and everyone had an incredible day!
