What our couples say

“The Wood Hall completely blew us away...we had no idea we walked past such a glorious space everyday. The thing that made it so special to us was the beautiful stained glass windows, which gave the space a church like feel without having to have a religious ceremony.”

Hannah and Seb

“Being married surrounded by books absolutely appealed to us; and in such a beautiful space. Everyone commented on how special and unique the venue was – people really enjoyed the sense of history. As a couple, we appreciated the inclusive attitude and the flexible approach to the day.”

Jennie and Sandi

"We are so pleased we chose The Mining Institute to host our wedding, the day was perfect! Such a spectacular and meaningful setting"
