Fazeley Studios

Fazeley Studios is a set of restored 19th century buildings on Fazeley Street in Digbeth, Birmingham's creative quarter. A former Unitarian chapel and Sunday school have been brought back to life with a contemporary finish, and the whole site, courtyard included, can be hired for weddings.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Exclusive hire gives you the run of every room and the courtyard, so the day is shaped around you. Digbeth is one of the most creative and welcoming parts of the city, with street art, independent bars and a strong arts scene, and the venue's mix of Victorian bones and modern styling suits couples who want something relaxed and a little different. One events planner looks after you from booking to the day.

Ceremonies

The studios are licensed for marriage ceremonies, with space for around 150 guests. You can marry in one of the period rooms and move straight into drinks without leaving the venue, which keeps the day simple for guests and means nobody has to travel between venues.

Receptions and food

The Grand Gallery, with its own Art Deco bar, hosts wedding breakfasts for up to about 150. The Garden Room looks out over the courtyard, the Fazeley Room is strung with twinkling lights, and Studio 7 adds another space for quieter moments. Evening receptions can take up to around 300 standing guests, and the bar is licensed until 1am. Catering and drinks come from the in-house team, with tables, chairs, linens, staff and security included in the hire.

Getting there and the area

Fazeley Street is a short walk from Birmingham Moor Street and New Street stations and from the Bullring. Digbeth is full of bars, food halls and music venues for an after-party, and there are plenty of city centre hotels within easy reach for guests.
