About voco® Manchester
voco® Manchester – City Centre brings wedding ceremonies, receptions and celebrations together under one roof in the heart of Manchester’s urban core. The hotel’s Portobello Heights event space sits high above the city with floor-to-ceiling windows that open wide views across the Manchester skyline, and it is fully licensed for civil ceremonies and partnerships. This means couples can exchange vows and host their reception in the same venue without moving between locations.
Portobello Heights is flooded with natural daylight and has its own private bar, and it can be configured for a seated wedding breakfast for up to 150 guests. The flexible layout is suited to a full day of celebration from ceremony right through to evening reception.
After the main celebrations, the venue’s collection of modern guestrooms and suites offers accommodation for couples and guests. Newlyweds can choose a suite for the night following their wedding, and guests can stay on site without the need to travel between venues.
The hotel’s central location on Portland Street places it within easy reach of Manchester’s transport connections and city centre attractions. A dedicated events team supports planning and on-the-day coordination. As a licensed venue for civil ceremonies and partnerships, couples can plan both their legal ceremony and reception in one place tailored to their numbers and preferences.
