Birmingham REP
A working theatre on Centenary Square, Birmingham, with ceremonies and wedding breakfasts on its stages.
The Birmingham REP is a working theatre on Centenary Square in the centre of Birmingham. Unique Venues Birmingham manages weddings here, using the stages and spaces of the theatre.
Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
The REP is a strong fit for couples who want a wedding with a sense of occasion and no conventional venue template. Ceremonies and wedding breakfasts can take place on a real stage, in front of friends and family. The theatre setting suits couples who value performance, art and a day that looks different from a standard hotel function room.
Ceremonies
The House is the main auditorium, with 816 seats and a large stage. The Studio seats 292, and The Door is a smaller room with 133 seats. Ceremonies can be held on the stage, and the team will talk through which space fits your numbers. A private room is available for a pre-wedding interview with your registrar. Confirm with the team how ceremony licensing works for the space you choose, as the venue pages do not state this for the auditoriums.
Receptions and food
Wedding breakfasts can be served on the stage, and the team can theme the space around your plans. A wedding car can even be driven onto the stage of The House. The wedding package includes speakers and access to a premium music streaming account. Ask the team about catering, as no caterer is named on the venue pages.
Getting there and the area
The theatre sits on Centenary Square, beside the Library of Birmingham and a short walk from Broad Street and the canal network. Birmingham New Street station is about fifteen minutes away on foot, and many hotels are close. Brindleyplace and the city centre restaurants are within easy reach for guests. Hotels at every price level lie within walking distance, which helps when guests arrive from different parts of the country. The canal paths nearby give photographers a quiet, atmospheric spot for portraits.
