Our wedding on 30th May

Thank you for absolutely everything. Your venue is just so special, the guests all commented on the beauty of it. We feel so lucky to have had such a beautiful day. Made even more beautiful by your whole team. Robert- a heartfelt thank you for everything on the day, for being so calm and relaxed about everything (even when I was panicking a little myself). Thank you all for your patience with us. You were all so responsive via emails, especially Robert and Nicola. You accommodated to our requests as best as you could, for example with the evening sweets table. The food was amazing. We wish we could live this day again! Thank you!

We got married at beautiful Pembroke Lodge

We got married on 24th May 2026 at PL and had an amazing day! The staff were so helpful throughout the planning process and on the day always putting us at ease with their professionalism. Everything went smoothly and our guests loved the entire day, the food, the service and of course the beautiful view and grounds!

The best venue!!

We held our wedding reception at Pembroke Lodge and it was everything we could have wanted and more! All the communication in the months building up to the day was incredible - the staff were all so responsive, easy to communicate with, and so helpful and informative! Every step of the way they made us feel so reassured that we had chosen the right venue! A huge special shout out to Nelson, our event administrator, who was incredible!! He took the time to explain everything to us and have check-in calls, to help advise us on what would work best when we didn’t have a clue, and made it so easy to work with him! On the day, he was there whenever we needed before we even knew that we did and made everything flow so perfectly which allowed us to not have to worry about anything! All of our guests could not stop raving on the day, and ever since, about how brilliant every staff member they encountered was! They have been nothing but complimentary about how they were left wanting for nothing and how delicious the food was! Thank you so much Pembroke Lodge!!

Our May 2026 wedding at Pembroke Lodge

Just a few days after our fairytale wedding at Pembroke Lodge and I still can’t stop smiling ☺️ It was the perfect venue - just stunning. We wanted something quintessentially English especially for my husband’s family coming from Italy and it fit the bill perfectly. As a local, it really was my dream wedding location. The staff are magnificent - a pleasure to work with in the run up to the big day. Our MOC, Sid, was superb on the day - always there to catch his eye if needed for something. The proceedings were flawless - a number of guests commented on how discreet all the staff were, and Sid managed this brilliantly. Food was great - a sentiment shared by all guests. Can’t recommend Pembroke enough for your wedding!

The best day of our lives

We got married at Pembroke Lodge at the end of April 2026 and it was absolutely perfect! The staff was lovely and so considerate. Our MC, Robert, was so helpful and made sure the day went smoothly. In general, we felt like the whole team had everything under control and we were able to just relax and enjoy this very special day. Additionally, the surroundings are just gorgeous and the place smelt super lovely because of all the flowers in bloom. We cannot recommend this venue enough!

Amazing location and amazing staff!

Thank you so much to everyone at Pembroke Lodge for helping to organise our wedding on 21 March 2026. A special thank you goes to Nicola for all the hard work she put in leading up to the event, and to Sid (and Kelvin!) on the day for being so calm, professional and reassuring. We had such a fantastic day in an incredible location and we could not recommend this venue highly enough.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for helping us plan such a wonderful day! Everyone was so responsive, lovely and easy to work with. Pembroke Lodge is absolutely beautiful and we had the most special day. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was, and how much of it there was! Everything went so smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing. The staff completely took over on the day and made sure everything went according to plan. A special mention to the staff for how wonderfully they looked after my mum (mother of the bride). She was dealing with an ankle injury on the day and they were so supportive and attentive to everything she needed, which meant so much to us. Thank you so much to everyone at Pembroke Lodge, we couldn't have asked for more!

Best day of our lives!

Wow! Everything was perfect from the start of our planning journey to picking everything up the day after. Pembroke Lodge were so swift with responding and no question was too silly to answer. Nicola was so warm and caring in all of her responses and patiently supported anybody from the wedding group who called with a query. Nelson is absolutely phenomenal and the best organiser we have ever come across. On the day he was on top of every tiny detail and made the day a dream come true. All of our guests have said how incredible the day was and we just want to relive it again and again. We would both recommend Pembroke Lodge to anybody!

Truly Magical

Pembroke Lodge was everything we hoped for and more! The venue is absolutely stunning and even on a rainy October day it still looked amazing. The team are a dream to work with and so helpful. Everything ran so smoothly on the day and guests are still telling me it was the best food they've had at a wedding. It was a truly magical day!

Fabulous venue

The setting at Pembroke Lodge is simply stunning. We got married 10th October 2025 on a mild Autumnal day, trees were just turning, colours glorious. We had our ceremony outdoors with our reception in the Russell Suite, a beautiful Georgian room, the setting was perfect.
The day went smoothly, without a hitch. Nelson, Lucy and the Events Team worked brilliantly to achieve a wonderful and memorable day. The Wedding Breakfast was delicious, beautifully presented. Great selection of wines too. Service was top notch.

The lead up to the event went like clockwork. With regular updates and an efficient spreadsheet to capture guest details , table plans, and menu chouce was genius! A very clever way to organise the event.

We truly were impressed. Nothing was too much trouble. What touched us most was the care and attention to my 89 year old Dad, we were ever so grateful.

I wouldn't hesitate recommending Pembroke Lodge. The Lodge and the Events Team are all truly remarkable.

Beautiful venue, dream day

Pembroke Lodge is a beautiful venue to get hitched in. The team were very friendly and helpful , queries were answered quickly. There are different food and drink packages available to meet varying budget needs. I also opted to use suppliers recommended by the venue and that made things a lot easier as they were all familiar with Pembroke Lodge team, set up times, access etc. One less thing to worry about. Our banqueting manager guided us through everything, the day went seamlessly and all of our guests really enjoyed themselves. Thank you to everyone at Pembroke Lodge.

Amazing From Beginning

My husband and I had our wedding day about a month ago and we chose Pembroke Lodge for our wedding reception.
We had started planning our wedding January of this year and got married in the middle of August, so 7 months of planning. From the beginning, Pembroke Lodge were very transparent about their pricing for hiring the venue, catering and drinks and our date being available which I thoroughly appreciated and wish more venues did. My husband and I are not the most creative people and have never planned an occasion as big as this so we appreciated having everything spelled out to us, especially with short time frame. We'd like the thank Alice, Nelson, Sid and all the staff who helped on our big day, we couldn't thank you enough for all the hard work you put in to ensure our wedding reception ran smoothly for us and our guests. Thank you, thank you thank you!

Wonderful venue and staff!

We had a fantastic day in the Belvedere suite, we used several of the recommended suppliers and that came together seamlessly! The recommended suppliers know the venue and each other extremely well which makes for great teamwork and less stress for us. The PL were very professional and helpful on the day, Robert ran things very smoothly on the day despite rainy spells which required quick plan changes.

We thought the venue was very good value for money compared to other similar venues in SW London. The food was tasty and in very generous portions. There were plenty of canapés!

The team were really responsive to all of our questions, at times we felt it was difficult to make decisions based on our own limited knowledge. With hindsight we might have asked for an extra meeting to go through details. About 6 months prior to the wedding, PL stopped using their online portal and switched to excel spreadsheets/email chains. We found the portal easier to work with than long chains of emails.

Overall, would definitely recommend Pembroke Lodge and their team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
