Guests enter through a grand marble lobby, framed by soaring columns and a sweeping staircase, creating a striking arrival for any celebration.

With cinematic heritage and excellent transport links nearby, Banking Hall blends history, elegance and city-centre convenience for unforgettable weddings.

Licensed for marriage and civil partnerships, Banking Hall offers a grand and elegant setting for exchanging vows. The main hall, with its soaring ceilings, marble floors, architectural pillars and sweeping staircase, creates a dramatic and timeless backdrop for both intimate and large-scale ceremonies.

Just above, the Counting Room provides a flexible additional space for smaller gatherings, pre-ceremony moments or a more intimate atmosphere when needed. Banking Hall is licensed for civil, religious, and humanist ceremonies.

The venue’s Art Deco heritage creates a striking backdrop for wedding receptions. Banking Hall’s grand main hall can be styled for seated dinners, cocktail gatherings or a lively dance floor, all framed by its impressive architecture. After the ceremony, couples can transition smoothly into the celebration, with the Counting Room offering a versatile space for reception drinks or evening moments.

At Banking Hall, couples can work with their in-house catering team to design a menu that reflects their tastes and traditions.

While external caterers can be accommodated for religious or cultural reasons, this must be arranged with your dedicated event manager. The team supports dietary requirements with care and flexibility.
