Create your own love story

 Tucked away in the heart of Manchester, we’re a wedding venue unlike any other – a place where history, literature, and romance intertwine. If you dream of an intimate wedding surrounded by books and a unique and beautiful space then House of Books & Friends is the place for you.

Set within a stunning Grade II* listed building, our space exudes timeless charm, from our grand windows and, beautiful fireplace, to a gentle hush of shelves lined with stories waiting to be shared.

We have developed a beautiful wedding package within which there are three stunning ways to dress the room working with our wonderful stylists, as a grade II* listed building we only work with select suppliers who know our space and are committed to ensuring we preserve the space for the future.
