AMIR Khan’s £11.5million wedding venue has finally hosted its first marriage after it was spotted surrounded by rubbish.
The lavish Dubai-style tower is actually in Bolton and is next to a hand car wash.
It was first revealed in January and it faced further criticism after the surrounding roads were full of fly-tipped rubbish.
Back in March, weirs were still visible on the metal corrugated roof.
It was set to launch that month but the first wedding took place on May 18.

Former boxer Amir, 37, wasn’t at his venue, he was in Saudi Arabia for the Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk fight.
But he said: “The Balmayna’s doors have finally opened.”
Videos show the lavish marble floors and chandeliers inside as formally dressed staff in bow ties served guests.
The bride arrived in a horse-drawn carriage and the groom in a Rolls-Royce.
Guests were saved fruit canapés as they arrived as a violist performed to the guests.
A Balmayna spokesperson said: “The first love story at the Balmayna.
“So elegant, so magical, simply a dream.
“We wish our bride and groom the most happiest of blessings.
“Such a stunning backdrop for your memories.”
The Balmayna - which translates as Enamelled from Arabic - is in Washington Street, Bolton, Greater Manchester.

Former ring king Khan wed Faryal Makhdoom, 32, 10 years ago.
The former welterweight and light-welterweight champ and US model - worth an estimated £31million - have three kids together.
Previously, locals have slammed the extravagant site.
Some said it doesn't fit in with the area - and that it appears as though it should be in Dubai - while others said it looks a decade older than it is.
The glass-fronted building is said to show off greenery and floral designs inside, alongside a water feature inside.
It's said to boast "state-of-the-art lighting", sound systems and palm trees.
One local Rakhee said: “It’s next to a dump.”
A second - called Rahila - said: “The design is about 10 years out of date.”
Yet another said: “It’s like a building from Dubai.”
A fourth said: “Beautiful design.”
The venue's website says the site will be able to host "a wedding like no other in the UK" and promises it will exceed expectations.
It reads: "This wedding venue is the brainchild of Amir Khan, the world champion boxer, ensuring a touch of magnificence and excellence in every celebration."
Khan rose to fame after claiming silver at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
The now-37-year-old lost to Kell Brook in a catchweight bout in Manchester in 2022 but was later banned for two years for testing positive for Ostarine.
