Event planning in Manchester

“Tipples is an absolute gem nestled in our town—a haven for whisky enthusiasts and casual sippers alike. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome by Greg. His passion for whisky shines through in every conversation, making the experience not just about purchasing a bottle but about discovering the stories and craftsmanship behind each selection. The shop itself is charming. We left Tipples with a fantastic bottle and smiles on our faces. This isn't just a shop; it's a delightful experience that we're definitely planning to revisit. If you're in town, Tipples is a must-visit destination for all whisky lovers.”

“We booked Sam for our wedding last Thursday. I got to say he was very outstanding. Firstly, so polite and on time. Secondly, all our friends and family spoke so highly of him and absolutely loved the tricks. Was lovely to have him as part of the day. He also did a finishing trick for me and my wife which was a lovely touch as we were busy getting photos and stuff most of the time he was there. Would recommend Sam to anyone 10/10, thanks again”

“My partner and I were trying to find a honeymoon and were really struggling so I reached out on social media and found Kevin, he put his all into finding us exactly what we wanted and gave us amazing deals. Kevin is always very friendly and professional and makes sure to give his costumers exactly what they want at the best deal possible. Highly recommend Kevins services.”

“A great bjj gym with friendly members and excellent coaches. Would recommend for people looking for gyms in Manchester, whether they’re beginners or experienced.”

“We used Manchester Travels back in 2019 when we went hajj. The service provided by Hafiz Shahin, Kamal bhai and the team was exceptional, they made us feel very comfortable from start to finish. It was then that we promised, we will use Manchester Travels for our family umrah. They didn't disappoint again, as expected, guiding us all the way thorough. My kids felt so relaxed and at home. Having used Manchester Travels twice now, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I highly recommend them for anyone considering booking Hajj or Umrah.”

“Was stuck on a job and needed a unusual fitting for mains water supply. Went to another plumbing shop which was nearest to me and was given the wrong fitting even after bringing a piece of pipe with. Came to this plumbing shop and he knew right away what type of adapter I would need. Very knowledgeable here and saved my skin on a Friday afternoon. Very grateful.”

“A great gym for all levels, with some really high level players here. I was welcomed by Kam, who is a down to earth, approachable coach, with a fantastic teaching style that makes martial arts accessible for everyone.”

“The experience was excellent. The room was a bit smaller but all the amenities and services were there for a much comfortable stay. As we were coming from Hyatt House to Hyatt regency they gave us an early Check in, which was very kind of them. The restaurant staffs were extremely kind and helpful. A big shout out to Andrea from the restaurant, she was very helpful with the menu suggestions, as well as she helped us to find out nearest places to visit, she also gave a Drawing book and colours to our daughter so that she can play with that. Over all a very good experience and thank you to the Whole team.”

“Stayed here for a night and had a really lovely experience. The hotel is beautifully designed, the room was stylish and comfortable, and the location is ideal, right in the city but surprisingly quiet, even with the trams nearby. The staff were friendly, the bar downstairs was great for a drink, and breakfast in the morning was solid. The only small hiccup was that I'd requested a sewing kit, and it didn’t get brought up as promised, so I had to go down to reception to get it myself, which made me a bit late. I understand things get busy, though. Aside from that, everything else was great. I’ve stayed at a few Hotel Indigos and this one definitely held up, I’d be happy to stay again.”

“We got married at Rylands Farmhouse in May and we couldn’t recommend it enough. From our first viewing of the venue to the morning after our wedding the service provided was second to none. The staff went above and beyond for us at every opportunity and nothing was too much to ask. Our wedding guests were blown away with the venue and the staff. The rooms were beautiful and clean and the breakfast the next day was delicious. Luis was with us from the beginning and throughout our whole wedding day and he was absolutely amazing! He made sure that everything was perfect for us and we can’t thank him enough! We can’t wait to revisit for every anniversary in future! Thank you Rylands x”

“My Visit to the Opera House Manchester My visit to the Opera House Manchester was an unforgettable cultural experience. This historic theatre, opened in 1912, is one of Manchester’s most elegant and iconic performance venues. With its beautifully restored Edwardian architecture, plush seating, and grand interior, it offers the perfect setting for musicals, concerts, ballets, and drama performances. The atmosphere inside was vibrant and welcoming. The acoustics were excellent, and the staff were friendly and well-organized, ensuring a smooth entry and interval experience. The show I attended was brilliantly produced — a true reflection of Manchester’s rich performing arts scene. Visitor Tips: Book tickets in advance through the ATG Tickets website for the best seats. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to enjoy the lobby and grab a drink at the theatre bar. Photography is usually not allowed during shows, so plan to enjoy the performance fully. How to Reach: The Opera House is located on Quay Street, Manchester M3 3HP, near Deansgate. It’s easily accessible by tram (St. Peter’s Square or Deansgate-Castlefield stops), bus, or a 10-minute walk from Manchester Oxford Road Station. There are also several parking options nearby, including Spinningfields Car Park. A visit to the Opera House is a must for anyone who loves theatre, music, and Manchester’s timeless charm — a perfect evening of culture and entertainment.”

“The recption staff were extremely professional & welcoming. We especially enjoyed our evening in the Filament lounge where the staff again were attentive & friendly, especially Migel & Anandhu. The food was excellent & even took into account personal choice in regards to additional spice. 10/10”

“Just got back from an overnight stay with my 8 year old autistic son. My sons special interest is vehicles of any description, I mentioned this when booking the room and asked if we could possibly be overlooking either a road or train station. Our room was perfect, he was blown away, we could see trains, trams, buses cars the whole shabang! The staff were all phenomenal, friendly, helpful, understanding of my son and his needs, nothing has been too much trouble. We enjoyed the pool, had room service and ate at the breakfast buffet. All fantastic. I would recommend this hotel, the staff and location are perfect.”

“I really do not know what to even say!! I paid just shy of £120 for 4 kids and 2 adults and I swear, I saw less of my partner than I did the kids! Honestly, this was the most epic chaotic day we've had in ages!!! 11/10”

“Nice place for people of all ages to have fun, play games, and dine as there is a restaurant in there. My kids love it here, and they can never get enough of the games. You can go along with your coins or change your notes into coins to play the games.”

“Overall experience was pleasant. Small issue with our room which was quickly resolved by staff. Ben on reception the night manager is brilliant really goes above and beyond! Also when checking in Mia was so busy and remained so calm, courteous & professional. Would highly recommend Will stay here again”

“I went to Oxygen Manchester for a viewing. Honestly, it is one of the amazing places in Manchester from the first moment when you walk in the Receptionist they welcomed us with a smile after that we met Osman Nazar from ACL Lettings he welcomed us and showed us the flat and all the facilities, he was honest with us and helped us through the whole process and I appreciate all his efforts and the support he gave to us. Unlike other agenciesI found that with ACL it was easy to get an appointment and to proceed with the viewing. Osman he did a greart job, he was very professional with us and we felt comfortable in our viewing with no rushing unfortunately like other agencies. I loved all the facilities especially the swimming pool, gym everything was very clean and spotless. I liked the fact that they try their best to give you the best experience while you are staying there.”

“It been a pleasure and amazing 2 years renting with luxury hub. Perfect, clear, and effective communication during the whole renting process. Always willing to help and clarify especially with George Very good rental agent. Thank you”

“Ami Gibbs was amazing with me in the gym. I applied for a free day pass online and came into the gym and Ami showed me around the facilities. She was super helpful and friendly and made me really comfortable and the gym and pool area was amazing. Will definitely be looking to join once I’m back from travelling.”

“Best hotel in Manchester! The room was absolutely amazing. Lovely and clean and a really good amount of room. The bar and grill staff are amazing, they gave me a complimentary cupcake and sang happy birthday to me. So sweet. Cannot praise this place enough, will definitely be coming back!”

“Very helpful and polite had a good experience would definitely recommend using them and their package is a fair price compared to others who try to rip you off”

“Fabulous quiz night @ The Astley! Brilliant host, great laugh!”

“My daughter loves here. This place is more than a school /nursery. The teachers are so caring and loving-kindness people... They treat my daughter like someone of theirs family.I see a lot of affection on their part with us parents too. Besides that it is impressive how they put all effort to create new and different activities all based on Montessori approach. I really could see changes in my daughter since the begging. She became more confident, concentrated and with More self- esteem.”

“Andrew is extremely professional and well-informed. I found him via reviews and have never regretted the choice for what has been a complicated setting up of a post-divorce annuity. He came twice to the house for meetings which was much appreciated. He is patient, emotionally-intelligent and never pushy; he thinks about what is best for the client. He sources excellent products, explains his thinking; he follows up, is pro-active. While being clear, concise and in control he is always warm and friendly. I appreciated the fact he was prompt to answer queries and also nudged us to complete paperwork, etc. Totally to be recommended.”

“The City Center these days is fun”

“If your 5 or 75 this dance school look after you and give you confidence to learn to dance. I booked a free lesson and then joined one of their classes meeting new friends along the way”

“Due to traffic I was totally late for check in but the staff were lovely and still got me in, the place is massive and when I got to my room It was spotless. The room was simply immaculate, no dirt or dust and very spacious, the bed was tidy and comfortable. There was coffee and tea stuff to help yourself to, a phone if i need any assistance and the view was lovely, the scape of Eccles looked like stars, bathroom was also amazing. Honestly it's the nicest place I've stayed in a while, I book a lot of hotels for trips and this was one I couldn't fault at all. I'd definitely stay again and will be adding it to my favourites!”
