Getting Married at Fazeley Studios – A dream Digbeth Wedding venue
If you’re planning a Digbeth wedding, you’ve probably already fallen in love with its industrial charm, street art, and general vibe. If you haven’t yet considered Fazeley Studios, let me introduce you to one of the best Digbeth wedding venues out there. As an alternative wedding photographer in Birmingham, I’ve shot some awesome weddings here, and let me tell you—it’s got everything. Beautiful spaces, loads of character, and some of the best photo backdrops in the city (if you’ve already been upstairs, you know what i’m talking about!)
So, if you’re all about alternative, creative, and stylish, let’s break down why Fazeley Studios in Digbeth is the perfect place to say “I do.”
The Ceremony – Saying “I Do” in Style
First things first, the ceremony. Whether you're going with a registrar lead ceremony or something a bit more unique with a celebrant, Fazeley Studios has you covered.
The venue’s ceremony space is inside Fazeley Chapel—a beautifully restored space with high ceilings, white walls, and gorgeous big windows that flood the room with natural light. As a photographer, this makes me very happy because natural light = dreamy wedding photos.
The ceremony space at Fazeley Studios is so versatile, you really can make it your own. Oh, and did you know, they allow dogs too?! Is there anything better than pooches at wedding?! So make your ceremony unique and utterly you!
Drinks Reception – Time to Celebrate
After the “I do’s,” it’s time to celebrate with your nearest and dearest. The drinks reception takes place in Fazeley’s courtyard or bar area, and it’s the perfect spot for guests to mingle, sip on cocktails, and start celebrating with you.
The courtyard? It’s a little urban oasis, tucked away from the bustle of Digbeth but still keeping that industrial vibe. During the summer it’s the perfect little sun trap, making it feel like you’ve just got married abroad. I love capturing guests chatting, laughing, and maybe even sneaking an extra glass of prosecco when no one’s looking.
And, of course, this is the time for those all-important group shots. But don’t worry—I’m not about awkward, formal line-ups. We’ll keep it fun, natural, and quick so you can get back to the party.
Couple Portraits – Exploring Digbeth’s Best Backdrops
Now, this is where we really take advantage of Digbeth’s street art, graffiti walls, and industrial beauty. One of the biggest perks of a Digbeth wedding is that you don’t need to go far for some bad ass couple portraits.
A quick wander around Fazeley Studios, and suddenly, we’re spoiled for choice:
The Custard Factory’s colourful murals – Perfect for vibrant, fun shots.
Under the railway arches – Moody, dramatic, perfect for your alternative wedding vibe.
A cheeky walk down Floodgate Street – Grungy, urban, and oh-so-Digbeth.
Basically, whether you want something alternative, creative or down right bad ass, Digbeth has the backdrop for it. Don’t worry if you’re feeling a bit camera-shy—I’ll guide you through it, making sure you’re both having a right ole laugh and make sure you look awesome!
The Wedding Breakfast & Speeches – Good Food & Big Laughs
Once we’ve nailed those portraits, it’s time to eat, drink, and have giggle at some of your embarrassing moments shared by your nearest and dearest, remember to chose someone you trust!
The speeches. Now, this can go one of two ways:
Beautifully heartfelt and emotional (cue happy tears).
A full-blown roast session (cue nervous laughter).
Either way, I’ll be there, camera in hand, capturing all the laughs, tears, and “I can’t believe they just said that” moments.The wedding breakfast is held in Fazeley’s Grand Gallery, an awesome industrial space with high ceilings, adaptable decor to make it your own and a super relaxed vibe.
Food-wise, Fazeley Studios is top-notch. Whether you’re going for a formal sit-down meal or something more relaxed, their catering team knows how to serve up a feast. No one wants a hangry wedding guest, so rest assured—they’ll be fed and happy.
Party Time – Let’s Get the Dancefloor Going
After all the formalities of your wedding day, it’s time to hit the dancefloor. And trust me, Fazeley Studios knows how to throw a party. The venue’s ceremony space transforms into a dance haven, plenty of space for epic dance moves (or, in some cases, dad dancing that will haunt you forever).
First dance? I’m right there with you to capture it.
Nan doing shots at the bar? You bet i’m getting those photos!
Someone attempting the worm and instantly regretting it? That’s wedding album gold.
Basically, Fazeley Studios is the kind of venue that feels intimate but still lets you throw an epic party. And with Digbeth’s nightlife just outside, if you’re the type to keep the celebrations going, you’ve got plenty of after-party options nearby.
