Sissy's Pastime

Whether you’re a football fan yourself, or whether it’s your other half who supports the game, having your wedding at the stadium of your favourite team could give you the wedding with a difference.

Although the day’s primary focus is the beautiful bride, we can’t forget the groom in the proceedings. If your groom is the biggest footie fan ever to walk the planet, or even if you’re just after a wedding different from the norm, ceremonies with a pitch as a backdrop would definitely provide a talking point.

At the Etihad Stadium, home of Premier League side, Manchester City, it would conveniently provide the something blue for your wedding day, since it’s part of the team’s home colours. Having gained the current Premier League championship, there’s no better way to celebrate the team’s victory than to have the best day of your life at their grounds.

With excellent transport links, a central location and a stone’s throw from Piccadilly station, your guests could arrive at your venue with ease. There are a number of hotels near Manchester City stadium which means your friends and family will not be stranded. With a choice of several impressive suites, Etihad’s function staff would provide a professional and efficient service to ensure your day goes by without a hitch.

Devour fabulous food from a range of excellent menus; follow it down with an accompanying wine and tantalise your tastebuds with a selection of tasty desserts. Relieve the stress of relocating between ceremony and reception venues by having both parts of the day in the same place. There’s even a choice of various packages according to your budget and your day’s requirements.

Whatever wedding setting you choose for your big day, remember the magic. Stand back, take a moment and make sure that the special memories can be imprinted in your mind forever.
