116 Pall Mall is the best. They made our wedding so memorable; not only due to the absolute beauty of the space, but also because the staff made the whole experience so easy and efficient. Planning a London wedding when based in the US felt quite daunting, but between our wedding planner (Lucy Meehan) and the team at 116 Pall Mall it went so well. The highlight of this venue is that you can have ceremony, reception, and afterparty in the same place. Post-wedding, many guests told us how much they loved that aspect. Also, it was personally important to us that our venue was wheelchair accessible and 116 Pall Mall is, and they did everything possible to accommodate our needs. I can’t recommend this place enough. It is so lovely and we were thrilled to have our wedding in such a special place.

It was an honour to be able to have our wedding in the wonderful place that is the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Our guests were blown away at how grand it all felt! We had a drinks reception in the beautiful Figure Court and then our wedding breakfast and evening reception in the Great Hall. The grounds and buildings serve as an amazing backdrop for photos and it all felt quite private considering its in the heart of London and home to the Chelsea Pensioners. The team there were extremely professional and helpful and made the day very special for us.

A stunning venue, that is spacious, well laid out, simple unobtrusive elegant design that allows you to put your own imprint on it. All the beautiful photographs of a country wedding but your guests can take the bus home.

As soon as we walked into the ICA we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. Upon arrival you enter into a beautiful hallway with access to the most amazing spiral staircase that takes you up to the first floor function rooms (Nash & Brandon). When you enter the space you are instantly blown away by the scale and grandeur of the Georgian rooms, and with all 3 spaces interconnecting it makes for an ideal space to hold your wedding service, meal and after party. For us the venue couldn't have been any better and it made our day so special for everyone involved. My husband and I could not have pulled off such an amazing wedding if it wasn't for all the help and support we received from the staff at the ICA. Our event manager was the most amazing person, she looked after us from the word go and helped us every step of the way. A wedding can be a daunting experience but with the knowledge and guidance of our event manager we were made to feel relaxed and supported through every step. We would highly recommend this wonderful venue......so if you are looking for a beautiful building in an iconic London location then the ICA is definitely the place to be.

We truly appreciate everything you did on the day and during times leading up to our special day too. We could not have picked a better venue & location for our civil ceremony and couldn’t have asked for better coordinators on the day and prior. Everything was great! Thank you once again for all your help and coordination! It couldn’t have gone any better. Yoshita & Caimhan

Thank you to Andrew & Mark. Our day was perfect. All the guests loved the venue and had a great time. Really pleased that we found this little gem! The food was great, all the staff in the day were lovely. I couldn’t recommend this place enough 🤍

Starting with the physical space itself, it is a beautifully spacious old building with a number of different spaces and rooms all across it that a wedding party can use. There are rooms to get ready in, a large hall to use for a ceremony or dining (or both as we did), a beautiful courtyard, and a delightful back garden. Being able to get such a space in central London in an area that also has a lot of hotels around it was extremely convenient. A lot of the guests at the wedding simply stayed in a nearby hotel which made it easy especially for those that may not be familiar with the city.   The catering was also top notch, with delicious food and snacks through the day. We even asked the catering team to bake a particular dessert for the evening and they accommodated that request and did a great job on it.   More than just the physical space, from our first meeting with Ellie we were impressed and comforted by her and the team’s level of knowledge and competence. She knew what to do and knew the right questions to ask which put our minds at ease. Throughout the process of the planning the wedding all interactions with Ellie and her team were extremely smooth. We communicated mainly by email and they entertained numerous visits to the site with different suppliers and parents who wanted to see the venue.   All in all would highly recommend the BMA house as a space for a wedding. Central London charm with a fantastic organizational team behind it!

We couldn't recommend Hampton Court Palace more highly, it was an amazing location for our special day. The palace and gardens were a stunning location for our photos. The event planners and staff made the planning very seamless, and they were very quick to respond to all our questions.

Flexibility limited with listed building and being a botanical garden (so lots of rules), however that aside the team did all they could do make our day how we wanted it. Really helpful throughout the pandemic and wonderful in their support and commitment.

My partner and I were married at Clissold House and it was such a beautiful venue! We were brilliantly looked after by Geeta and the team and cannot recommend it enough. Also the new cafe is amazing!
