If you’re searching for an Italian wedding venue in Leeds that blends city‑centre convenience with authentic Italian hospitality, look no further than LIVIN’Italy at Granary Wharf. Located under the scenic railway arches beside the Leeds–Liverpool Canal, this vibrant Italian restaurant, deli, and bar offers a distinctive setting for your big day, whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering or a full‑scale celebration.

A Venue With Character & Authenticity

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the difference. LIVIN’Italy is a family‑run establishment whose roots are in Milan, and that warmth, passion and attention to detail shine through in every corner. The venue’s architecture, under the railway arches, facing the canal, gives it a relaxed, stylish vibe; it’s city‑accessible yet feels distinct and memorable.

Choosing a wedding venue here means marrying (pun intended) Italian hospitality with thoughtful design, creating a space where your guests can genuinely enjoy themselves rather than feeling like they are simply attending another event.

Flexible Spaces to Fit Your Wedding Plan

One of the major advantages of LIVIN’Italy is its versatility. Whether you’re planning a small, intimate celebration or a full‑blown reception, the venue has options:

• The lounge area hosts around 30‑35 guests (standing/seated), ideal for a more intimate wedding breakfast or evening reception.
• The adjoining restaurant space, together with the lounge, can accommodate up to 80 guests, perfect for medium-sized weddings where you still want a hotel‑style feel but with more personality.
• For larger celebrations, you can hire the entire venue (bar, terrace, restaurant) for up to 120 people. That lets you transition seamlessly from ceremony to drinks reception to dinner to dancing, all in one place.
• The terrace by the canal offers an outdoor element, great for summer weddings, for photographs or for a relaxed drinks reception. Parasols and heaters mean it can be used all year round.

With such flexibility, you aren’t boxed in; you can tailor your day to exactly the mood, scale and structure you want.

Tailored Menus & Italian Flair

Your big day deserves menus that feel special. LIVIN’Italy offers bespoke menu options, whether buffet‑style, sit‑down courses or sharing plates, all rooted in Italian cuisine. From antipasti to pasta, to pizzas, desserts and beyond, you can work with our team to shape a menu that reflects your taste and guest needs.

Our values emphasise quality ingredients, relationships with Italian artisan producers, and delivering genuine flavour rather than shortcuts. So your guests won’t just “eat”, they’ll experience something memorable.
