Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum guest requirement for private wedding events at Victoria Warehouse?

Private wedding events require a minimum of 80 guests. If you have fewer than 80 guests, you may be interested in their shared party option instead.

Are you required to use Victoria Warehouse's in-house catering for weddings?

Yes, you must use their in-house caterers for all wedding events. You cannot bring in external catering providers or arrange your own food service.

What are the Christmas party package options and pricing for weddings during the holiday season?

Christmas party packages are available from £95+VAT per person for street food menu (minimum 90 guests) or £100+VAT per person for 3-course menu (minimum 90 guests). Packages include welcome drink, private room and décor, DJ, and meal of your choice. Note that Christmas decorations will be throughout the venue during this period.

What venue hire costs should I expect for different wedding sizes and spaces?

Venue hire varies significantly by space and guest count. Examples include £3,000+VAT for The Bays (suitable for around 150 guests), £5,500+VAT for basement spaces, £7,000+VAT for Tobacco Stores, and £10,000+VAT for Cotton Sheds (which can seat 1,000 theatre style). All prices exclude VAT and additional mandatory costs.

What mandatory additional costs beyond venue hire should I budget for?

Security is mandatory for ticketed events and events with celebrities or notable attendees, with costs quoted separately. There are also cleaning fees (typically £300 per day), and if you want to remove their house lighting/audio kit for your own design, additional fees apply. Build days may also be required at extra cost.

What audio-visual equipment and staging is included with the venue?

The Cotton Sheds includes staging, house lighting rig, and house audio system which can be made available to you. If you prefer to bring your own production equipment and remove their house kit, there will be an additional fee and they can provide a technical pack with specifications.

What is the maximum capacity for weddings at Victoria Warehouse?

The maximum capacity is 1,000 guests in theatre-style seating in the Cotton Sheds. For events requiring more than 1,000 guests, the venue cannot accommodate your needs.

Are there restrictions on certain types of wedding events or entertainment?

Victoria Warehouse does not host all styles of events - some event types are declined without specific details provided. For music events or entertainment requiring public ticketing, additional security requirements and costs apply. You should provide your event brief for them to confirm suitability.

What booking timeline and decision requirements should I expect?

For events requiring security (such as ticketed events), they need confirmation by a specific deadline to arrange security quotes and get contracts signed. For example, they may need to know by tomorrow to get security quotes and signed contracts by Monday, indicating tight booking timelines for certain event types.

What catering options and pricing are available for wedding day packages?

Day catering packages are available at £38.50+VAT per person including 3 tea/coffee breaks and lunch. For dinner events, they offer 3-course dining at £45+VAT per person, with welcome drinks available at £6.25+VAT per person. Street food options and canapes (£15.50+VAT for 4 per person) are also available.
