Wedding Reception/Civil Partnership Celebration Testimonials

"With such a beautiful venue you can really make it your own to suit any occasion.  We dressed it simply, surrounding ourselves with fairy lights which created a lovely atmosphere.  We were advised every time we needed assistance with the venue and in general.  Even with maximum capacity there was still room to have supper, dance and to swing a few cats!"
Guy & Anastasia Bishop, October 2008

"We knew that Fabrica was the venue we wanted for our reception. We really liked the location and the flexibility we had in terms of decoration and evening entertainment. It suited us perfectly to rent the empty shell of this beautiful building to then furnish and decorate it the way we wanted. The day was brilliant - it went very smoothly and the support we had from the centre manager and his team was great - we both really enjoyed the reception. They took care of those little details that make all the difference. Perhaps the best thing for us about Fabrica was that so many of our guests commented on the fabulous venue. Highly recommended!!!"
Dan and Rosaria, September 2008

"Andy & I would like to say a big thank you to Laurence and his staff or helping us to have such a special and awesomely fun wedding at Fabrica, I am so happy that we found a venue with so much character that was so distinctly Brighton!! We had great fun decorating the space and coming up with our own party atmosphere-everybody commented on how lovely the venue looked and how unusual it was. The staff were polite and helpful, we could bring in our own food, the band sounded great and the location was easy for all our guests- all in all an AMAZING PARTY!! Thank you very much"
Ellie & Andy Welch, August 2008

"Fabrica was a wonderful venue for our wedding reception. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and we were allowed the creative freedom to make the event everything we had imagined."
Neil & Sophie, September 2008

"Fabrica is a fantastic and dramatic venue, perfect for large functions like our wedding reception. Laurence was brilliant at giving advice and assistance at every step of planning such a major event, from providing information on possibilities for decorating the venue to organising the bar, to setting up and clearing away. Importantly, Fabrica is incredibly flexible, allowing you to tailor your day as much as possible. Our wedding reception was close to perfect and a great deal of that is down to the venue and to Laurence; we would thoroughly recommend the hiring of Fabrica to anyone."
Mark, Katy & Logan Stoddard, June 2008

"The building is historic, unusual, inspirational and above all beautiful. It gave us the freedom to have the day we wanted (not a standard wedding churned out of a hotel with rules about pre-dinner drinks and odd little canapés...), we felt it really represented us as a couple. The staff were friendly and efficient at all times and we now consider a few of them as friends. What could be better than having a wedding reception in a deconsecrated church? Fabrica was the perfect venue."
Briony and Jon

"We were totally delighted with our decision to book Fabrica as the venue for our wedding party in June 2007. Laurence was thankfully wonderfully calm and relaxed throughout all our planning meetings, e-mails and phone calls even during the last minute crazy panics. We loved being able to dress-up Fabrica as we wanted and everyone commented that our rainforest theme looked stunning. Fabrica offered us the opportunity to let our vision become a reality, in a beautiful, original setting with enough gravitas to make it feel very special and enough flexibility for us to have exactly the kind of party we desired. Without hesitation we would recommend other folk to book Fabrica for either their wedding venue or as a place to construct a different kind of memorable occasion."
Emma and Jon

"Fabrica is a perfect place for a party, when you're looking for something a little bit different. Location wise - right in the centre of Brighton it can't be beaten. I had my 50th birthday party with 100+ guests in March (Food, Live Band, Bar) and the feedback from everyone was a universal 'wow!' Being a converted church Fabrica's interior has lots of interesting original features and has real charm, but if you invest just a little in some imaginative dressing it can look truly stunning. The team at Fabrica were friendly, efficient and helpful. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Book it while you can!"
Jo

"We had a wedding party for more than 100 people and Fabrica felt intimate enough to catch up with old friends and spacious enough to dance with wild abandon! The Fabrica team are incredibly helpful and you can be really creative in decorating the space."
Clare

"All I can say is that the venue was a great setting for a wedding reception and should I have another I wouldn’t hesitate to use it again!!"
Peter

"A huge thank you to Fabrica for helping us to have a completely amazing time at our wedding. Laurence and the staff were great, everything ran smoothly, and we received dozens of compliments on our unusual and fabulous venue. Highly recommended!"
