The Black Friar combines historic charm, relaxed dining and a beautiful city-centre garden for memorable, effortlessly stylish weddings in Salford. The Black Friar is a beautifully restored, independently owned wedding venue in the heart of Salford, just a stone’s throw from Manchester city centre. Built in 1886, it was lovingly brought back to life in 2021 after being derelict for more than 15 years. The restoration carefully balances its historic character with a fresh, contemporary feel. From the outside, the striking historic façade gives little away about what lies within. Inside, original features and exposed brick sit alongside thoughtful modern touches, creating a relaxed yet refined backdrop for a wedding day. Fiercely independent and renowned for its warm hospitality, The Black Friar’s team pours passion into every detail, creating an idyllic setting for one of life’s most important occasions. Whether you’re looking for exceptional dining, relaxed pub classics or bespoke food and drink experiences, flexible wedding packages and personalised menus ensure every guest is well looked after from the first toast to the final dance. Every space is available for exclusive hire, including the entire venue. The award-winning garden is one of Salford’s worst-kept secrets. A beautiful oasis in the heart of the city, it boasts lush planting, colourful blooms and a laid-back atmosphere – a little escape from the city without feeling far away. From arrival drinks to a garden wedding breakfast, it offers a beautiful al fresco setting. The venue is licensed to hold ceremonies in three of its spaces. The Sanctuary (up to 35 guests) is an intimate space located on the first floor. Meanwhile, for larger guest lists you can choose from The Tavern (up to 70 guests) and The Garden (up to 70 guests). The Tavern is a covered and heated outdoor space, decorated seasonally, while the award-winning garden is a true green oasis – a feast for the eyes. The Sanctuary (24 seated, 35 standing) and Tavern (50 seated, 70 standing) can also play host to your celebrations. Alternatively, you can choose from one of the other wonderful spaces. The Choir’s Loft (16 guests) is available for seated dining. Located on the top floor, it’s also been used as a getting-ready room. With lush decor, velvet drapes and plush furnishings, it makes for an intimate and engaging space. The Glass Room (30 seated) offers a modern take on an English garden glasshouse and features an open kitchen. Blending into the surrounding garden, The Glass Room is flooded with sun by day and glows warmly under starry skies by night. It can be hired alongside the Main Restaurant, Garden and Tavern for larger parties. Alternatively, the Main Restaurant can accommodate 50 seated guests on its own. You also have the option for full venue hire (80-150 seated or 80-300 standing guests). This allows you the freedom to make the most of The Black Friar’s characterful spaces, creating a natural flow throughout the day, with space for DJs, live bands and plenty of dancing.
