Your West Midlands Wedding - February/March 2023 (Issue 84)

GRAND STATION, WV10 0BF 01902 454 550 | www.grandstation.co.uk The Grand Station originally opened in 1854 as a Grade II listed building formerly known as the Lower Level Train Station. In 2012, after the building was derelict for almost 30 years, it was transformed into a popular venue for weddings, events and conferences. Situated in the heart of the city, the Grand Station is just a short walk from Wolverhampton’s train station and town centre. Boasting a large outdoor space, the exterior was designed by engineer Sir John Fowler, with the rack work by Mr Henry Robertson and the roof and layout by Mr Isambard Kingdom Brunel. As Wolverhampton’s former train station, the space has retained its historical feel, but has transformed the former train platforms into modern venue spaces. CELEBRATE IN STYLE Civil ceremonies take place in the stunning Old Ticketing Hall, which can hold up to 150 guests. This space has Italian Renaissance ceilings, and classic sash windows finished with a grand chandelier that looks great in photographs. There are two main venue spaces: the Grand Hall and the Brunel Suite. The Grand Hall can hold up to 700 guests and is fitted with luxurious décor and benefits from mobile staging that can be arranged to meet different requirements. Alternatively, the Brunel Suite can hold up to 120 friends and family and is ideal for intimate weddings. The space is beautifully finished and adorned with ornate golden mirrors. Both suites have private entrances, bar areas, kitchens and washroom facilities. WE LOVE... The happy couple will have access to the bride and groom suites on the big day. WOLVERHAMPTON ART GALLERY, WV1 1SH 01902 556 245 | www.wolverhamptonweddings.com Situated in the heart of the city centre, Wolverhampton Art Gallery was built in 1884 to house the city’s art collection.
