Close to Manchester City Centre, this beautiful home is the ideal place for your wedding. It is the former home of Manchester’s most famous Victorian writer, Elizabeth Gaskell.

The legendary Charlotte Bronte visited the house in 1851 and commented that it was “a large cheerful, airy house, quite out of Manchester smoke.” If she can vouch for it, then you know it must be a stunner!

From the cosy, book-lined Study, to the elegant Drawing Room, with its Boudoir Grand piano, both rooms provide a special space for your wedding ceremony. Both complete with Victorian furnishings and furniture to suit your wedding party, these period rooms are perfect for the couple wanting something unique, intimate and with plenty of charm.

Following the ceremony, we can provide a drinks reception in the delightful period Dining Room, which is also where Elizabeth wrote her famous novels, short stories and letters.

The beautifully restored gardens with its mix of heritage and native planting schemes, offer another option for your drinks reception on a warm day and provides a stunning backdrop for wedding photographs.

The Houses light and airy basement, includes what was originally the Servants Hall and former Kitchen and provide the perfect space for your wedding celebrations, whether that be a traditional afternoon tea, a buffet or a formal sit-down meal.

Available for exclusive use, this beautifully restored house with spectacular period rooms and villa style garden, will provide a unique and stunning backdrop for your wedding.

Meet David, a professional photographer specialising in Weddings, Portraits, Travel & Landscape. David is based in Cambridgeshire but often travels all over the world to try and capture all the things that are beautiful in life.

“My photography approach is very relaxed and playful sometimes. My clients often tell me how comfortable they are with me and how I end up being like one of the guests. Having people relax in front of the lens really takes away these awkward shots and instead generates true laughter and love. My business is named after my daughter as it is her who inspires me to capture the special moments in life, so that one day I can show her all the incredible things I have seen in my life and they will be as true as the moment itself.”

Not only offering photography and videography, Dotty Photography also provides Photo Booth hire.
