Jasmine & Nathan at Stockport Town Hall

Luke Slattery • January 27, 2026

A big wedding at Stockport Town Hall with a packed dance floor, a live band, and their poodle stealing the show during portraits.

Stockport Town Hall has weight to it. Stone walls, high ceilings, and the kind of presence you don’t really get with newer venues. It feels solid, a bit gritty, and perfect for a wedding that isn’t trying to be soft around the edges.


Jasmine and Nathan filled it. Properly. Big guest list, loud energy, and a day that leaned into the space rather than trying to smooth it out.


From early on, there was a sense that this was going to be a big one. Friends and family everywhere, voices bouncing off the walls, that low hum of anticipation before things kick off.

Stockport Town Hall suits weddings like this. It can handle the scale without feeling chaotic, and it gives everything a bit of edge — less countryside calm, more city energy.

Somewhere between the ceremony and the drinks reception, Jasmine and Nathan’s poodle made an appearance. Calm, confident, and completely unfazed by the attention.


Photos with the dog were quick and relaxed and no big production, just a few moments in between everything else. The kind of thing that becomes part of the story rather than a planned “moment”.


There was no sense of rushing or sticking to a strict plan. Things moved when they moved.



Photos stayed loose and natural. Short breaks, real light, then straight back into the day. Jasmine and Nathan never felt removed from what was happening around them, which kept the energy exactly where it needed to be.

Once the band started, everything shifted. The room filled, the floor stayed busy, and the night took on a life of its own.

Live music does that. It pulls people in, keeps things raw, and turns a wedding into something closer to a gig than a formal evening reception. This one didn’t ease off — it just kept going.

Stockport Town Hall is a great choice if you want a wedding that feels solid, bold, and full of atmosphere. It doesn’t need dressing up — it brings enough character on its own.

For couples planning a Stockport Town Hall wedding and wanting photos that reflect the energy, movement, and reality of the day , I would love to hear about your plans.
