Customizable for Every Celebration
At Opulent @ 35, we understand that every celebration is unique. Our versatile venue spaces can be transformed to accommodate intimate gatherings of 50 guests or grand celebrations of up to 250.
Whether you're planning a traditional Islamic wedding (Nikah and Walima), a Christian ceremony, a Hindu celebration, a multicultural fusion, or a civil partnership – our experienced events team will work with you to create the perfect setting.
Set within Liverpool's iconic Grade II listed Grand Central Building — designed by Bradshaw & Gass of Bolton and opened in 1905 as the Central Hall of the Liverpool Wesleyan Mission — our venue occupies one of the city's most storied Art Nouveau landmarks. Beneath its spectacular domed ceiling, this hall once seated 3,576 people, served as the New Century Picture Hall cinema, and from 1933 to 1939 was the temporary home of the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Today, that same heritage space blends historic architecture with modern flexibility — offering adaptable room layouts and refined staging that provide an elegant, meaningful backdrop no modern hotel function room can match.
