I often get asked what are the best alternative wedding venues in Sheffield. I've been shooting wedding photography in Sheffield for 16 years now, and when I started I'd confidently say we had no alternative wedding venues in Sheffield, none that I can remember. We had plenty of country halls, but considering we're the steel city full of disused industrial spaces from years gone by, it was surprising none of these were utilised for weddings. Thankfully, over the past few years some amazing spaces have popped up and I've been fortunate to shoot at all of them. So if you're looking for a more quirky, or non-traditional wedding venue in Sheffield take a look at the below...
99 Mary St
I shot the first ever wedding at 99 Mary St, it was a real beaut, perfectly formed for atmosphere with a brick and steel interior. Run by Nik & Jon, it's well worth checking out for an industrial Sheffield wedding venue, it will seat around 80 guests I think
Foxholes farm is the opposite of 99 Mary St, it's not industrial, it's very rural but a lesser known Sheffield venue. It's also right by my house, so it gets a thumbs up from me. They do a small number of Sheffield weddings a year, just 12 I think, but with a large marquee and stunning views over Bradfield it's hard to beat. And it's right near Dam Flask reservoir, which makes an awesome backdrop. No photographer knows this location like I do! So if you're looking for a Foxholes farm wedding photographer, please hit the contact button
Another Sheffield beaut which has risen in popularity fast. And another brag that I shot the first wedding photos here, I also love going back. It's big, you can have a large number of people in this place. If you want an urban Sheffield wedding party, this place ticks the box
The Hide alternative Sheffield wedding venue
I love the Hide! So much so, I’m now a co-owner. It’s a proper Sheffield industrial wedding venue, with a current capacity of 120, it has 3 separate spaces to use, concrete floors, brick walls and the decor is all ready to go. It has a cool yellow van for a bar and they have an in house catering team for all your wedding food requirements.
Kelham Island Museum weddingKelham has been going sometime as an alternative Sheffield wedding venue, it was actually possibly the first. I think my first wedding there was back in 2013, they can cater for very large gatherings too. If you want a large Sheffield wedding venue, this could be it
