Amazing experience!

We had a great experience with 10-11 CHT - the music room is incredibly beautiful and the staff were very helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. We had to move our intimate wedding ceremony forward last minute due to family circumstances and 10-11 CHT were really helpful with this. The whole afternoon went off without a hitch!

Marion and Charlotte were great to deal with. When we had an issue, (of which there weren't many), they responded quickly and professionally. We ended up having a wonderful wedding day, with several of our guets saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to!

Beautiful venue and incredible team

10-11 Carlton House Terrace is a beautiful venue steeped in history. They have recently renovated and the carpet, panelling and artwork is stunning. We had our civil ceremony and reception spread over the Music Room, Wolfsen Room and Radhakrishnan Room and the views were incredible. The venue gets lots of natural night and this compliments the decor beautifully. Our venue coordinator was Amie Murphy, she was astute, responsive and organised. Amie went above and beyond to make our day everything we had hoped it would be, from sourcing us the chairs we wanted to liaising with the external vendors we had booked and arranging for us to have use of the gardens opposite. She understood our vision and made it come to life. She was always friendly and in great spirits and a number of our guests on the day commented on how brilliant she was. Amie helped to keep us calm and is excellent at what she does; she has been a joy to work with. An asset to the Carlton House Terrace team! We can't thank Amie and the venue and enough and would wholeheartedly recommend both.

The most lovely team team to work with!

LOVED IT! An amazing team, so friendly, flexible and just completely catered for us with all requests! As this wedding was an unusual one, with planners from Gibraltar and ongoing construction, Catherine & Isabela (Searcy's) just made this as smoothly run as it could be! I wish we could work with them every event! Totally recommend this venue, not only as it is beautiful but also so you, the wedding planner, also enjoy the day with such lovely, and helpful, company! As well as the venue just being naturally beautiful and an amazing location. The team at CHT were so accommodating with each request, and last minute changes! We love love & miss them!

Wonderful wedding at a beautiful venue with outstanding architecture

We had a wonderful and really unforgettable wedding at 10-11 Carlton House Terrace in central London. Our wedding was very well planned with a detailed timetable by the front house (event) manager and Searcys catering events planner. On the day, everything went very smoothly, the service was outstanding, the food delicious, all suppliers were on time with all logistics perfectly coordinated behind the scenes, for us to enjoy our big day. We got many compliments from our guests about the beautiful venue and its gorgeous architecture, the tasty food and outstanding service. A very happy wedding for a happily-ever-after life!

The planning was seamless and the day was completely perfect. We couldn't recommend 10-11 Carlton House Terrace more highly. A special thank you to Tinique and Catherine, too.

Highly recommend this place.

We had our wedding here in Sep-2013. I cannot think of anything that the staff could have done better. The service was fantastic throughout the whole event. Everything was possible to arrange, I didn’t receive a single hesitation. The building is beautiful inside, especially the main staircase. Highly recommend this place.

Wide-eyed by the beauty & grandeur of the venue

We thought we'd never find it but we did...and 10-11 Carlton House Terrace was it!

We chose this hidden gem as the venue for our civil partnership in December 2013 after falling in love with it the moment we walked through the door. We weren't only sold on the beauty of the building and it's stunning interior but were given the warmest welcome by Clare Arouche and her team who went the extra mile and more to make our day truly unforgettable. They supported us and made us feel very special throughout the whole process.

Our guests were wide-eyed at by the beauty and grandeur of the venue yet Clare and her team made them all feel well at home.The organisation on the day was so calm and relaxed that we could not have asked for more.

If you are looking for a venue in Westminster look no further, 10-11 Carlton House Terrace is second to none!

We always dreamed of a London wedding!

We held our wedding ceremony at Carlton House Terrace in September. We always dreamed of a “London wedding” And wanted our ceremony to be formal, yet different, with a relaxed but elegant twist. As soon as we walked in to the building, we instantly knew it was the right venue for us and what we wanted. The location was superb, with breath-taking views over London’s landmarks, which the guest loved! The staff and Event Managers were fantastic from start to completion and really cared about the day. The experience was really personable and we both felt that the two Event Managers went that extra mile to make the day completely seamless. Their passion and drive was recognised but not only us, but each one of our guests (who still make comments to this day about how wonderful the location and venue was!)

The catering was fantastic, we provided afternoon tea for the guests before the ceremony, the food was exquisite and beautifully presented. All aspects of our catering were simply wonderful, from the waiting staff to the attention to detail with the food and presentation.

The venue was flexible and accommodating, allowing us to be creative with our plans and dreams for the day.

We fell in love with the venue, the people who work there and the building and I believe we found a hidden gem in one of London’s best and central locations. The guests loved reading about the history of the building, the stunning rooms, breath-taking views and brilliant staff. I cannot thank you all enough for a really special experience and a wonderful day we will never forget!

THE most incredible day of our lives!

We had the privilege of having our wedding at 10-11 Carlton House Terrace and it was THE most incredible day of our lives. All of the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a magical day and indeed everything was absolutely perfect. From the moment I first made the initial enquiry with Alex, he has provided the most amazing service and nothing was ever too much trouble. Thanks also to Stephanie who did a fantastic job liaising with the catering team and ensuring everything was exactly to our liking. Gwen was also exceptional in his level of service on the day and made sure that all our guests were well looked after. Thank you so much to all CHT staff and we hope to return in the future for another special occasion!
