October 2024We were lucky enough to have our wedding at Blackfriars Priory in April 2024. From the first moment we visited the venue, we knew it was the one for us. The architecture is stunning and never gets old - each time we visited in the run up to the big day, we were in awe of its beauty and how peaceful it was, despite it sitting in the middle of the city centre. We dealt with Matt as our wedding coordinator who was incredibly helpful leading all the way up to the wedding day and never got annoyed with all the little questions we had. He was informative and made us feel like the day was in safe hands. The venue had everything we needed and gave us the flexibility to really design our wedding how we wanted it, rather than having very strict options as some venues do. We had complete freedom and creativity to set up the space how we wanted, choose our suppliers, and make the day our own. One of the biggest perks for us is that they are dog friendly, which meant we could have our beloved boy with us all day too. Thank you to everyone at Blackfriars who made our day so special. We can't wait to visit again in the future xx
