Nice venue next to canal
Came for a wedding. Nice venue next to canal. Museum was small but informative. Function rooms were good for the wedding function and reception. Nice area for drinks reception bottom floor, wedding ceremony top floor, and reception dinner and dance was held middle floor.

All round gorgeousness
From the minute we met Bev, we just knew that she would look after us. Having lost my mum in December 2020, I really felt that Bev took me under her wing which was so lovely. We were in regular contact, sometimes daily. Bev was always on hand to provide advice and support, which was really appreciated. Bev was with us through every step of the way and really shone on our special day, nothing was too much trouble, her attention to detail, organisation and all round gorgeousness was amazing. We cannot thank Bev enough, it was an absolute honour and pleasure xxx

We leave with full hearts and happy memories.
We had our wedding at Standedge last month and cannot praise the venue and team enough. It really is a unique and beautiful place that made for the most joyous day! Three floors of magic…light floods every room, the surrounding scenery is gorgeous, you can flex it to your own personal style, and you even get to arrive on a boat! We got so many compliments from our guests. Bev was wonderful throughout, nothing was too much trouble as she genuinely wanted the best for us, and she is such a warm and reassuring person on the big day. The same can be said of everyone on the team, a truly lovely bunch. We leave with full hearts and happy memories. Thank you Standedge!
