Assembly Room April 2024

We had our reception in The Assembly Room in April 2024 and it was an absolutely stunning venue. The town hall staff were friendly and helpful and set up the room exactly how we had envisioned it. The Town Hall exclusively used Elegant Cuisine as their caterers and we were absolutely thrilled with the food and the customer service from start to finish. Bayley and Alison were responsive and easy to contact when we had queries in the planning stages and Bayley and Ellie looked after us brilliantly on the day too. The food was superb and even my mother (who was dubious about our all veggie/vegan menu) was impressed.

Fantastic wedding venue with amazing staff

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and all the staff that were working at my wedding.

You/they were so kind and went above and beyond to make our day so very special. It’s very rare to find a venue and the people so accommodating, thoughtful and kind.

Thank you so much!

Sukh and Lewis did an excellent job in helping us planning our wedding at the Oxford Town Hall including thinking solutions and creating ideas. Our wedding would not have been so great without their help.
