Magic Mirror at Manchester Hall: Emily's Wedding Recap

A Magical Evening at Manchester Hall

On the 23rd of August 2025, we had the absolute pleasure of being part of Emily's wedding at the truly spectacular Manchester Hall. It's one of those venues that stops guests in their tracks the moment they walk through the door, and it made the perfect backdrop for a day full of joy, laughter, and memories worth keeping forever.

Manchester Hall is a completely unique space right in Manchester city centre, and it has a way of genuinely surprising people. Couples who want their wedding to feel special and a little unexpected always seem to gravitate towards it, and we can see exactly why. The architecture, the atmosphere, the sheer sense of occasion; it all adds up to something really special.

Our Magic Mirror Took Centre Stage

For Emily's big day, we brought along our Magic Mirror, and it was a hit from the moment guests discovered it. The Magic Mirror is always a crowd-pleaser at weddings, combining a sleek, elegant look with loads of interactive fun. It fits beautifully into a venue like Manchester Hall, where the surroundings are already impressive and you want everything to match that standard.

We set up the full red carpet treatment, complete with ropes and silver stanchions, which gave the whole setup a real VIP feel. Guests were queuing up to get their moment in front of the mirror, and the prop box kept things lively and light-hearted throughout the evening.

Everything Guests Needed, All in One Place

We always want the experience to feel seamless for guests, so the package we put together for Emily's wedding included everything they needed to enjoy themselves without any fuss. Here's a quick look at what was included on the night:

• A choice of hundreds of print templates, with a bespoke design created just for Emily's wedding
• One print per use (with upgrade options available)
• Unlimited visits throughout the evening
• High quality digital copies sent via SMS picture delivery
• A download link so guests could revisit their photos long after the night ended
• An online gallery to share with family and friends
• A fun prop box packed with accessories
• A friendly attendant on hand all evening
• A sharing station so moments could be sent and saved instantly
• Our Audio Guest Book combo, giving guests a chance to leave heartfelt voice messages for the couple

The Audio Guest Book was a lovely touch alongside the Magic Mirror. Rather than just signing a card, guests could record a message, a story, or even a song, and those recordings will be something Emily and her new husband will treasure for years to come.

340 Photos and Counting

By the end of the night, we had captured 340 photos through the Magic Mirror, and every single one tells its own little story from the evening. Seeing the gallery fill up in real time is always one of our favourite parts of the job.

You can browse the full collection over at the Fildes Wedding gallery. It's a brilliant mix of group shots, silly poses, and genuine moments of happiness that perfectly capture the atmosphere of the night. Have a look and see for yourself.
