An incredible wedding venue

We had our wedding at Pembroke Lodge on 12 May 2023 and it was incredible. The views are gorgeous and the photo opportunities are endless with beautiful floral and green surroundings. The team were super responsive throughout the process which is really reassuring and helpful when planning a wedding, and Nelson who ran the day was just fantastic. Every single detail was thought of and they run a really slick operation. This is essential as it meant I had a lot less to think about! They put me and my partner at ease throughout. The food and service on the day was fantastic, so many of our guests said this was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Highly recommend! (Photos by Costa Weddings UK)

Perfect venue for an autumn wedding!

We had our wedding at Pembroke Lodge in October 2024. The whole day was magical, including the beautiful view over the autumn trees in Richmond Park. Robert made sure everything ran perfectly and helped us to find slots in the busy wedding timetable to fit in some special moments to also reflect traditions from my husband's Dutch culture. The food was great and the staff were polite and fun. All preparation with Lucy was also smooth and done with a smile. The Pembroke Lodge team ooze experience but make every wedding feel special and really listen to your wishes for the day. Highly recommend! Thank you to the whole Pembroke Lodge team, especially Robert, Lucy, the kitchen team and the staff on the day!

Dream Wedding Venue

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue than Pembroke Lodge for our summer wedding. The setting was absolutely stunning, creating the most gorgeous backdrop for our special day. A huge thank you to our banqueting manager, Nelson, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.

The team was incredibly supportive and accommodating throughout the planning process, making it an enjoyable and stress-free experience. Their professionalism and attention to detail made all the difference, and we’re so grateful for everything they did to make our day unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Just do it. They are amazing!

We got married on the 3rd of October this year, and the team made our day magical! What a smooth day. We loved every second of it! The guests loved everything, and raved about the food and organisation.
Hiring Pembroke Lodge was easy. We had a viewing where all information was shared in detail and super clear to understand and make a decision.
On the months leading up to the big day our contact was Alice. Alice is a star. Responsive, professional, and had answers and solutions to everything.
On the day, Nelson coordinated the whole thing, minute by minute, and we are forever grateful for his politeness, professionalism and high spirits. We felt safe and in good hands. I would give Pembroke Lodge way over 5 stars if I could :)

Amazing team delivered a perfect wedding!

My wedding went without a hitch, thanks to the amazing team at Pembroke Lodge (special thanks to Nicola & Robert)! They made sure everything was set up perfectly on the day, exactly in the way we had requested, and then ensured the day itself went as smoothly as we could've hoped. Everything looked beautiful and the stunning views made all of our guests fall in love with the venue too.

Perfect day

We had the most perfect day. The team have all been so responsive and accommodating of our every request. The venue is beautiful and we were lucky to have gorgeous sunset views. It is truly a countryside wedding but conveniently close to London, which was important for our overseas guests. The food was fantastic and staff were professional and efficient. Would recommend to anyone.

Thank you for making our day so special!

We recently had our wedding at Pembroke Lodge, and I cannot say enough good things about the venue, the team and manager, Robert. From the moment we started planning to the big day itself, he was absolutely incredible.

Robert went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. He was always available to answer our questions, offer solutions, and provide creative suggestions that enhanced our vision. He coordinated effortlessly with our vendors, making sure everyone was on the same page, which took so much stress off our shoulders.

On the day of the wedding, he was a true rockstar! He made sure the timeline flowed perfectly, from setting up the ceremony space to ensuring the reception transitions were seamless. His dedication and hands-on approach allowed us to enjoy every moment without worrying about a single thing.

Our wedding was a dream come true, and we owe so much of that to him and the team! Thank you, for everything you all did to make our day magical.

We could not have wished for a better wedding venue for our special day! Everyone went above and beyond to make sure our day goes perfectly without us having to worry about a single thing! A big shoutout to Nelson who was absolutely brilliant and made the day feel so calm and well thought through.

The food was delicious and all the team was so welcoming and super helpful on the day.

Thank you so much, we really really appreciate all the help!

Wonderful wedding at Pembroke Lodge

Thank you so much for our wedding on Saturday. It really was the best day of our lives! You all played such an important part in it running smoothly and we can’t thank you enough. So many of our guests have complimented how efficient and friendly your staff were and how beautiful the venue was.

Wonderful venue and a delightful team

We are so glad that we decided to hold our wedding at Pembroke Lodge. Of course the venue itself is beautiful, with wonderful views and surroundings, but the stand out is the team. They guided us every step of the way, were so helpful and flexible (accommodating all sorts of food allergies/intolerances/requests, setting up our "tuck shop" and doughnut tower, and so much more). We planned the wedding ourselves, and when the day came, we were able to totally relax and not worry about anything because Nelson and the team had thought of everything and kept everything running smoothly for us. Rest assured that you and your guests will be well taken care of, in every possible circumstance. When my grandmother felt unwell at the wedding, Nelson and his team reacted quickly and professionally, ensuring she had the care she needed. We wouldn't change a thing from our wedding day, and couldn't be happier with how the day went.

Such a fantastic venue - can we do it all again please?!

Pembroke Lodge was the absolute perfect wedding venue for us. The setting was gorgeous and we had brilliant weather which meant all the guests got full use of the patio (we were in Belvedere). I wouldn't have worried if it was raining though, as the cafe space would have worked well for the drinks reception too - I was just happy that we could properly enjoy the views. We provided hand fans for our guests because it was so hot though - definitely recommend that if you're anticipating a hot day!

All the staff are brilliant and gave a properly personalised service. You were never made to feel that you were just another couple in a long line of weddings taking place in the summer. We visited the venue lots of times, popping in and out to measure up and make plans over many months and it was fantastic to be able to have that access. And I love that we can go back whenever we want to visit the cafe and reminisce about the day!

The food was really delicious too (I'd say better on the day then in the tasting).

Finally, all our suppliers came directly off Pembroke's recommended supplier list and they were all brilliant too. So nice to know that they all knew the space already which made things nice and easy.

Final note, we had a bit of a fusion wedding (Indian/British) so had a baraat throught the gardens (with drums!) and a small ceremony on the patio before the official ceremony started. This all went well too! So Pembroke will help you change their standard timetable if you want :)

Thank you to the Pembroke Lodge team
