Your Cheshire and Merseyside Wedding - Sep-Oct 2023 (Issue 71)

SCALE 07903 962 054 | www.scaleliverpool.com Scale is a rare jewel of a warehouse venue located in the centre of Liverpool, ideal for a wedding with a difference. Located on the top floor of the Tapestry building, in the up-and-coming Fabric District, a creative hub just a stone’s throw from the city centre, it’s surrounded by incredible street art, neighbouring independents such as Melodic Distraction radio station, Ditto Coffee, Kempston St Studios and Hopscotch. The tall ceiling features industrial A-frame beams with hanging festoon lighting and the perfect opportunity to drape flowers. Meanwhile reclaimed maple flooring and exposed brickwork not only offer modern and stylish wedding photography, but the ideal blank canvas to style as you wish. The venue is officially licensed to hold legal civil partnerships and civil marriage ceremonies, however a celebrant-led service can still be offered as a beautiful addition to the day should you wish. Here, you can host up to 200 loved ones standing, while a maximum of 150 is recommended for seated events. It’s fully accessible with a disabled lift and bathroom. Known for its trestle tables for dining, Scale is filled with rustic charm boasting heaps of space in the main function room complete with a mezzanine – a space to step away from the party. Whether you have your hearts set on a traditional three-course sit-down meal, a more informal locally-sourced buffet or just a good old knees up, this space offers a wonderful backdrop and plenty of options to suit different needs. The fully-stocked bar area even comes with an LED message board for you to customise. What’s more, if you’re looking to gather only your very nearest and dearest for a long lazy celebratory supper, the venue offers a reduced rate for weddings of 60 guests or fewer. This applies to midweek and Friday bookings only. Scale works closely with its preferred catering partner, Fig and the Wild, which can provide anything from hand-crafted canapés and rustic sharing platters, to bespoke menus using local independent suppliers. External caterers are also welcome, all you need to do is let the team know if you’re after something specific and they’ll point you in the right direction. Plus, all bookings come with a free consultation with event stylist Spark Alice, and you’ll also be offered a discounted price on its services. Owner Hannah can liaise with suppliers on your behalf, organise everything from table linen to flowers and take the stress out of wedding planning for you. You also have the option of using the venue’s 80ft of festoon lighting, PA system and wireless microphones.
