TESTIMONIALS: “Everything was how we wanted and there was no stress, so we could just enjoy the day. All of our guests commented on how super special it was - the venue and the food got a lot of compliments.”
“I cannot recommend GRUB enough to anyone who is looking for a fun, well organised and laid back event. The food service was amazing, the bar team were incredible and Jules worked really hard to make sure our day was spot on.”
“I just wanted to say thank you again for everything you guys did to it run as smoothly as it did. We couldn't have asked for a better day and that was helped by all your staff on the day being as wonderful as they are. For most of our guests, it was their first time in the building and everyone absolutely loved it! GRUB has always been one of our favourite places to visit in Manchester and will now hold a special place with us for the future.”
“The upstairs hall offers the perfect foundation for a great party, with awesome murals on the walls and a great vibe on decor and furniture. Then it's up to you, they're incredible flexible with any bits you want to add and make great recommendations on what has worked in the past with regards to decor and service. We also hired the cinema for our live music and party area and it was perfect as the noise didn't carry too far into the hall and make it difficult for non-movers to chat. It was exactly what we wanted for a non-traditional wedding party and we couldn't have asked for anything better. Plus there are some ace spots for photos!”
“Jules communicated with us really efficiently on the lead up to the event and helped us along the way. But we still felt like we had so much autonomy on how to use the space and make it our own event.”
“We genuinely cannot thank you and your EXTRAORDINARY team enough for the truly magical day we had. We’re still processing and emotional but HONESTLY the day was faultless and we are so so grateful for all of your hard work. We can never thank you enough. It was beyond our wildest dreams”
