      Just fantastic
      Every aspect of the venue and the staff we dealt with, in particular our wedding events manager was better than we expected and just fantastic. The venue itself made an enormous impact on each and every one of our guests and the friendliness of staff and the quality of the catering helped make the day perfect day!

      Beautiful venue and excellent staff
      We were married at the RSA in February and the whole day was perfect. The staff were excellent, particularly Janine who made sure everything ran smoothly. The ability to have a mix of traditional and contemporary rooms is great and makes for more interesting photos. You also have the whole House to yourself for the day...we looked at some wedding venues where a number of weddings are held on the same day. The food was fantastic and all of the suppliers we used were excellent and very professional. We would recommend the RSA to anyone wanting to get married in central London.

      Our Perfect Day
      Re: Saturday 19th March 2011 Thank you - Thank you - Thank you!! What can we say - everything looked and worked in a fantastic way throughout the entire day - from the upper floors in The Adelphi & Romney Rooms to The Benjamin Franklin Room for the meal - then right down into the bowels of the building in The Vaults.  It really was a magical occasion - especially for us - but everyone commented on it too! Janine - especially you!! - but everyone at The Royal Society of Arts - who contributed in their differing ways - who obviously made it all look effortless - but we know that all these things take time and design combined with skill and precision - and we very much appreciated what you all put into our special day.  The standard of the service - with such a discrete approach - all very friendly yet maintaining professionalism was very much appreciated by all our friends throughout! A very special day for us indeed - we can assure you. Please thank everyone who contributed on the day - it really made our day perfect. Yours with many, many thanks - Izzi Romanov & Ian May

      Incredible!
      We had our wedding in August 2010. The day was perfect. The team were great - nothing was too much trouble, and they were super efficient. The day went like a well oiled machine, with all issues totally taken off our hands - we weren't troubled once, leaving us free to enjoy eachother and our nearest and dearest. From the first day of our enquiry, they bent over backwards to help us, and alleviated all the stress of the planning process. I can't rate it highly enough. Amazing.

      Fabulous place for a unique city wedding
      We had such an amazing day – couldn’t have been more perfect. Like many people who have left reviews we were married in the vaults with the wedding breakfast in the Benjamin Franklin room and both settings were brilliant. My husband and I aren’t ones for a country house hotel wedding, we wanted something that represented the city we live in and our guests were amazed by the venue. We even had our photos standing on the central reservation on The Strand – which you should definitely do if you get the chance, so much fun. Amanda over saw the running of the day and she was excellent. Food was delicious and the service – the best we’ve ever had. Thanks RSA

      Brilliant organisation and attention to detail
      We held our wedding reception at the RSA last month using the Benjamin Franklin room and the Vaults, and couldn't be happier with the service we received. Toni the events manager was wonderful, friendly and ultra organised, and suggested many touches to the event that I hadn't even considered and which worked brilliantly. Paul, who was the manager on the day ensured that everything ran like clockwork and couldn't have been more helpful. The food and drink that they provided went down wonderfully with all the guests too - I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to hold their reception there!

      Stunning, unusual location and great service
      We got married at the RSA this month and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Events manager Toni Gibbs was incredibly helpful in advance and perfectly organised on the day - we were working on a relatively modest budget for a London wedding and she even suggested several ways we could save money. The venue itself is beautiful - we married in the brick-lined underground vaults and had dinner in the Benjamin Franklin room. Both these spaces need little dressing-up - we got by with one pedestal flower arrangement and lots of white fairy lights. If you want a modern, elegant wedding in central London, then the RSA should suit you well!

      a stunning venue with a proffessional team
      We had the most amazing wedding day at the RSA, Our wedding co-ordinator Toni was so helpful. I really didnt have to worry the whole day went so smoothly, and the food, atmosphere and staff were all 100% perfect. I highly recommend this venue...our guests were also very impressed!

      The best venue and amazing value
      We could not have asked for a more perfect day. Staff were wonderful, space was very flexible allowing us to put our own stamp on the day. Embankment Gardens 5 mins away for outside photos. Everyone has commented on what a spectacular day it was. Everything ran so smoothly, we literally cannot fault it. Go and see it and find the perfect wedding venue in Central London.

      Fantastic venue and wedding management
      We couldn''t fault the RSA in any way! Everything ran so smoothly and we put that down to brilliant management on and before the big day. The food and table service was incredible and commented on by most of our guests. The RSA gave us such a interesting, classic yet contemporary feel which we couldn''t find in any other London venues. The various elements and different rooms and Vaults during the day kept everyone astonished by what was to come throughout the day and made each part unique.

      The absolutely best venue in London!!!
      The whole experience of holding our wedding at the RSA was fantastic. Excellent personal service from the events coodinators, very good value for money for venue hire and food/drink, the food was exceptionally good, and the venue itself had both a classic and contemporary feel to it. The ability to use multiple rooms in the vaults and main building contributed to the good atmosphere and smooth runnning on the day

      No wedding venue could be better
      The venue provides flexible space and a lovely atmosphere for a wedding: warmth, intimacy and an indefinable dignity that emanates from the building itself. The food was magnificent, the staff superb, attentive, unobtrusive and kind. During the wedding breakfast, the space used for the ceremony was converted into a fun disco setting. The level of wedding organisation was absolutely A1.
