Introduction
In the heart of Birmingham city centre, the Council
House is a beautiful Grade II* listed building,
boasting some of the city's most talked about
design. Since its opening, this venue has received
and welcomed members of the Royal family, world
leaders, media and film stars, people from the
literary world and every type of business and
organisation.
The Banqueting Suite combines traditional Victorian
elegance with flexible space, ideal for your
wedding. The ambience of the rooms reflect the
sophistication and charm of the 19th century,
complemented by our expert catering team offering a
range of creative cuisines.
Your wedding at the
Banqueting Suite will be a day you will always
remember. A special occasion for both bride and
groom and we are confident it will be memorable too
for the whole of your wedding party.
You will be spending your day in a magnificent Grade
II listed Victorian building, touched by history -
the perfect setting for a wedding of style. Your
guests will admire the scale of the interior and its
intricate ceilings.
Whether it is the full civil ceremony you require or
just the Wedding Reception (following a wedding
service elsewhere), you can be assured of the
professional attention of our staff, specialists in
wedding functions. Our Function Officers will
personally help prepare you for your day, advise you
through each stage of the proceedings and ensure
that everything runs smoothly on the big day itself.
Do not worry if you do not know every part of
wedding etiquette; that is our job.
Although it is not possible to book the Banqueting
Suite for the Civil Marriage or Partnership Ceremony
alone, there is an extensive range of menus for your
wedding reception which can be styled to your
indi
vidual taste and budget with our “Menu Master”.
We also have an
Asian Wedding Package available with an approved
list of Asian Caterers and are currently working on
an Afro Caribbean Package that will be launched in
2011.
Capacities for the Banqueting Suite depend on your
circumstances but, if you are just having your
reception, it can cater for up to 200 people for a
formal seated banquet and up to approximately 150
people with a buffet. These figures are reduced if
you are also having your ceremony. Our highly
experienced Venue Assistants with help you plan your
day and advise you through each stage of the
proceedings to ensure that everything runs smoothly
on the big day itself.
