About The Old Library

With its soaring vaulted ceilings, breath-taking original windows and its blend of functional, open plan space and Victorian Gothic elegance, it is easy to see why The Old Library is a much-loved venue for weddings.
Since being faithfully restored from The Old Library’s origins as one of Birmingham’s first free libraries in 1866, this historic setting has played host to many happy and unique wedding days. Wedding guests will be left mesmerised by the architecturally stunning building, which is flooded with natural daylight and exudes a romantic atmosphere.

    “In the 18 months prior to the wedding the team were so attentive and helpful with every process of the wedding organisation and coordination. They helped us get everyone in the right place at the right time and I couldn’t recommend this venue more! Whether for a wedding or a party, it was so flexible, we could have the day we dreamed of. Amazing team!”
