The perfect London wedding venue

Bourne & Hollingsworth was such an exceptional venue for our wedding this September. This is the perfect place for you if you want a true London wedding that feels like a fun dinner/house party but on an epic scale. We used the top floor (the studios) for our sit down dinner (think candle light and tasty roast lamb) and headed downstairs for our reception with the basement club (below and hidden) for late night dancing. The place is stunning (greenery and glass everywhere and the cocktails are insane but what really makes this place are the people. The whole staff from Matt and Lizzie to the bar team to the dinner crew made our whole day seamless and so fun. Could not recommend B&H more highly for your London wedding.

Beautiful wedding celebration in the most stylish venue

Beautiful wedding celebration in the most stylish venue - we had an intimate wedding reception (drinks, dinner and more drinks!) at the Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings. The staff members on duty were excellent - nothing was too much trouble and they served everyone with such professionalism. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough and we haven’t stopped talking about it since. All of our guests were so impressed with the space and how stylish it was. The bar, restaurant and greenhouse are all aesthetically beautiful and the botanical vibes make for a very relaxed, but premium setting. Special shout out to Lizzie who helped us coordinate everything and Matt on the day who led the team. Thank you so much - we had the best day and we couldn’t have wished to host it in a better venue.
