Venue Testimonials
Great venue, with lots of space throughout the building to host different events. The staff are friendly and always happy to help. The food was 10/10, with different options to suit all needs no matter what dietary requirements you have. I had over 80 people and everyone was well catered for. I would defiantly use this venue again in the future.

Practically Perfect in Every Way We got married at The Ministry earlier this month and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Diana, Antonio and the rest of the team made the planning of the day so so easy. The delivery of our dream wedding could not have been more perfect. We knew from the moment we walked in that we were in the best hands and could fully relax to enjoy our day. Thank again for memories that will last a lifetime

Simply outstanding! Karen and I just wanted to thank you for hosting our wedding and managing the day for us. It was simply outstanding. Both of us can’t quite believe how awesome the day was. The feedback from our guests has been incredible. The venue worked perfectly and just felt like home. We can still smell the distinctive smell of the place!
