      Great wedding venue
      Our wedding in July was fantastic the staff and appointed wedding planner was incredibly helpful. The outdoor marquis accommodated 200+ guests with ease in the beautiful garden, a central London location gem!

      Fabulous venue and great service!
      Got married at Gray's Inn in Oct'11 and can highly recommend this stunning venue! Service was great, very professional and organised, both on the day and in the run up to it; Emma and Anthony have done an amazing job. Prices are reasonable when you compare to other central London venues; we felt we got a lot for our money. You can supply your own wine (there is corkage charge) which helps to keep the costs down a bit, there is plenty of free parking (in central London!), and food was delicious. Your guests will be very impressed - ours certainly were! Highly recommended.

      Excellent location and excellent service
      We got married at the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn last Spring and the quality of service we received right from the first day we visited the Inn as a possible choice of venue up until our wedding day itself was excellent. My husband is a food connoisseur and he gave the wedding breakfast and canapes an excellent rating. The Events Co-ordinator was very helpful, friendly and super-efficient. Her attention to every detail was most impressive. If you are looking for a truly beautiful and classic venue to get married in London, the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn should definitely be on your list.

      Excellent Christmas Wedding
      Great location. Couldn't fault the service or the food. Everything we were hoping for and more. Inspite of the heavy snow lovely wedding. And thank you Sarah for all the help organising it.

      Truly lovely
      The staff made everything seem easy and stress free. On the day everything ran perfectly and the venue was fantastic. We would recommend the Inn to anybody looking for the ideal venue for their big day.

      Momentous
      We could not have chosen a more perfect setting to celebrate our civil partnership with our family and friends. The history and provenance of the Hall created an amazing sense of place but was surprisingly unassuming. The service well that was another matter. If you want an experience where the people take the extra effort to make it happen and show that they care, this is the place to go. Friendly - very, accommodating - very, professional - at every stage - fun - yes. The food was top notch.... even the weather in October was superb!

      Perfect venue for traditional style wedding
      Gray's Inn could not have made our lives any easier or our wedding reception any more special; from the moment we went in to have a chat, through the tasting and the night itself, everybody was extraordinarily helpful and knowledgeable. Comments on the quality of the food and wine were uniformly (and rightly) glowing, the DJ recommended by them (Sliding Vinyl) was great and the stunning architecture of the Hall provided the WOW factor! What a wonderful, wonderful place for a wedding :-)

      Our Big day on Sept 11 2010
      We had our civil partnership ceremony at Gray's Inn on Sept 11 2010. We had a 110 guests, a ceremony in the Large Pensions room, champagne in the garden, followed by dinner in the hall, cake in the LPR and dancing to a band in the hall. To be honest, the whole day for all was amazing, not least because Grays Inn truly was perfect for us. Everything was organised to an incredibly high standard, from the pre wedding meetings to the timing of the day. We have had so many compliments on the ambience, the food ("top restaurant standard'), the hall, the location and the ease with which the day ran. Thank you again for giving us the best day of our lives! John and Des

You ran the day like clockwork and it appeared effortless which can only be an indication of how well you all work together. We are so happy and grateful to have had such a wonderful day

      A perfect venue for a city wedding reception
      We had the reception for our Christmas wedding at Grays Inn and they did a fantastic job. The service, food, atmosphere and organisation were all excellent. We would thoroughly recommend this venue to anyone.
