In a surprising twist that delighted fans and showcased Manchester’s unique charm, a prominent Coronation Street star recently chose an unexpected yet enchanting location for their wedding celebrations, eschewing traditional luxurious hotels for a truly distinctive urban setting.
This captivating venue, nestled within the historic red-brick landscape of Ancoats, offers unparalleled photographic opportunities, blending the gritty beauty of industrial heritage with elegant event spaces, making it a dream backdrop for any significant occasion.
The city buzzed with anticipation over the weekend, as news of a high-profile Coronation Street wedding circulated, leading many to speculate about opulent five-star accommodations. However, actor Jack P Shepherd and his partner Hanni Treweek opted for an understated yet achingly cool hidden gem, reflecting their personal taste and appreciation for Manchester’s vibrant cultural fabric.
Following their intimate marriage ceremony at Manchester Cathedral, the couple’s family and friends were transported to this extraordinary location for a film-themed wedding breakfast, meticulously organized by the renowned Taylor Lynn Corporation, ensuring every detail resonated with their unique vision.
The high-profile union of Jack and Hanni undoubtedly marked Hallé St Peters’ most celebrated wedding to date, generating significant buzz among soap enthusiasts who enthusiastically shared photos posted by fellow cast members and celebrity friends, amplifying the venue’s newfound recognition.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal and rising popularity, hosting events at Hallé St Peters serves a noble purpose: it directly supports the Hallé Concerts Society, a dedicated not-for-profit organization whose vital work enriches Manchester’s cultural landscape through music and community initiatives. Choosing this venue thus allows couples to contribute meaningfully to the city’s artistic heritage.
Hallé Venues Director Martin Glynn revealed that the couple was already familiar with the location prior to their inquiry, highlighting its growing reputation. Glynn emphasized its central appeal, stating, “Anyone in Cutting Room Square when a wedding is on will see brides coming in and the confetti coming out. For a lot of our clients the fact it is so central is why they love it, it’s not a country house, it’s something that fits a specific set of tastes.” He added, “if you want a really cool set of pictures taken around red brick Manchester, with the mills and the beauty of all of that, it’s brilliant for it.”
Intriguingly, the venue is no stranger to the small screen, having previously appeared in Coronation Street itself, notably in scenes featuring Kym Marsh’s character, Michelle Connor, during her search for a wedding venue back in 2018, adding another layer to its storied history.
Despite its increasing visibility, Martin Glynn still considers Hallé St Peters a “bit of a hidden gem,” particularly as its first year and a half of operation coincided with socially distanced events. This ongoing allure continues to make it a coveted choice for those seeking a truly unique and memorable Manchester experience.
