City centre micro wedding
Ilona and Chris live in Manchester City Centre and spend a lot of their time there so having their wedding in the City Centre seemed the most natural thing to them. Ilona and Chris got ready separately to maintain the element of surprise but met back at their City Centre Apartment. Ilona arriving in a beautiful green Volkswagen camper van on loan to them from a family friend. They travelled to Halle, St Peter’s together in the camper van while their guests made the best out of that glorious sunny April morning and walked to the venue.
Halle St Peters
Halle St Peters was a small live music venue, playing orchestras from all over the world and it is a beautiful building with high ceilings, stain glass windows and interesting architecture smack bang in the heart of Ancoats. More recently Halle St Peters have began putting on weddings and events and it is a beautiful setting for it. The staff were really lovely and helpful too and were on hand to make sure Ilona and Chris has everything that they needed.
The Ceremony
Ilona and Chris had a beautiful heartfelt ceremony full of loads of smiles, laughter and teary eyes. After a long wait it was so evident that they were both just totally made up to finally get to marry each other. There may have only been 6 people at the wedding but that huge room was absolutely bursting with pure joy and happiness from everyone in there to witness these two legends finally making it official after a long Covid induced wait
After the Ceremony
Ilona and Chris were greeted by some friends and family armed with confetti before making their way through the city centre to the near by canal for a picnic. On the way they were greeted by friends who had made them their very own special wedding sign and another friend was kind enough to pass by and deliver home made wedding cake for them to enjoy on their first few hours of being Mr and Mrs Higson.
