St Mary’s Guildhall

My husband and I held our UK wedding reception at Saint Mary’s Guildhall. It is the most beautiful place ever with such a rich history! No wedding decoration is required, as the Guildhall is so ornate as it is!
We had an enjoyable experience working with the catering staff as well. Everyone was very kind and helpful, especially as most of the interaction and planning was done via email.
Would highly recommend this location for an event. I also refer all family and visitors to visit this place during open hours and learn the history and stories that go along with it.

This is a fantastic medieval gothic guildhall, we had our wedding here and they were really helpful. During the day, the crypt is a café but this can be hired for parties or for wedding services (the Registrar comes over). The main guildhall is accessed by a large flight of stairs (with a wheelchair lift also) and is open during the day so that you can see the wonderful woodwork etc but again, this can be hired for parties with a very basic sound system in the minstrals gallery (it broke down on our wedding night though). Being owned by Coventry Council places some limitations such as not being able to bring in caterers but the food was delicious and good value. There is a small bar so I would recommend ordering plenty of bottles for tables etc to avoid guests queueing too much and the downside is that the toilets are down the stairs and through another set of doors. The atmosphere makes up for this though!
