Village Point can host weddings, conferences, office parties and other private events for 80 to 180 guests in its Ballroom, 40 to 60 in its Lodge, and up to 240 when both spaces are combined. The venue is a restored 1881 building at 35 Heaton Moor Road in Stockport, Cheshire, with 6,000 square feet of event space.
Seminars and company events
The official site lists conferences, office Christmas parties, team meetings and corporate events among the uses of its two spaces. The Ballroom suits conferences and large gatherings of 80 to 180 people. The Lodge suits smaller corporate events and team meetings of 40 to 60 people. Both rooms have a playlist-ready sound system and a staffed bar. The venue also lists wireless microphones and WiFi for guests among its amenities.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the main business of the venue, and the site describes it as a full-service venue. A dedicated events manager works with the couple, an in-house culinary team prepares the food, and the venue gives exclusive access to the building on the day. Many couples hire both spaces together, with two bars and two rooms, for up to 240 guests. The venue takes bookings several years ahead.
Rooms and capacities
The Ballroom is the flagship space, in the restored Victorian hall. It holds 80 to 180 guests. It has a full-size staffed bar, banquet tables with Chiavari chairs, a sound system, mood lighting and a restored maple-sprung dance floor. The windows are soundproof plate glass, which matters for evening events.
The Lodge was a Masonic Lodge for many years, and the name comes from that past. It holds 40 to 60 guests. It has a barista-style staffed bar, lounge-style soft furnishings, a restored red pine floor and a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. The venue suggests it for small weddings, birthdays, acoustic sessions and team meetings.
Combined, the two rooms hold up to 240 people.
Catering
Catering is in-house. The venue describes a food and beverage team that prepares meals from three courses upward, and a bar stocked with craft beers. It mentions that vegan guests are served. The quote that the venue sends includes food and drink menus, photos and videos of the venue, and a short account of the building's history. An interactive budget tool lets organisers shape a quote online.
History and setting
The building dates from 1881 and is a locally listed Victorian hall. It was restored in 2016 with an interior in a boutique hotel style. During the Second World War the Ballroom hosted regular galas for American soldiers, and the Lodge served as a Masonic Lodge. The venue is in Heaton Moor, Stockport, in the south of Greater Manchester.
