“From the moment we first saw this venue, long before we were even engaged, my partner and I absolutely fell in love with it. So when we found out they hosted weddings, we were beyond excited and knew it was the place for us.
The team were nothing short of fantastic throughout the entire process. In the lead-up to the big day, they were organised, thoughtful, and always available to answer questions or offer support. On the day itself, they went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, they had it all in hand, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment.
We can’t thank them enough for helping us create the most perfect day.”

“From the initial viewing to the day of our wedding, the communication from the old library was perfect! It’s such a beautiful venue and was just what we wanted for our twilight wedding. Rebecca and Laura were so helpful throughout our wedding journey, especially as our day got closer. On the actual day they couldn’t have done any more for us. It truly was the best day for us and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. We went for minimal decor and yet it still looked and felt amazing. We had food from the old crown next door and this was honestly the best decision, it was 10/10. Thank you to everybody at the old library for making sure our wedding was everything we wanted and more!”

“Amazing!! We recently held our wedding at The Old Library and it as perfect. From our initial viewing of the venue to the actual day, the team were wonderful and incredibly helpful. The team kept in contact over email, answering any questions we had. We then had three meetings leading up to the wedding, Rebecca and Laura were incredibly thorough, and ensured our day ran smoothly. The room itself is gorgeous, with high ceilings and natural light. It is a blank canvas that you can do so much with. Honestly could not recommend enough!”
