Bar, Pub and Restaurant Wedding Venues in East Central London

From the first visit, the team at the coin laundry were fantastic to deal with. They made us feel like a priority and were super responsive at answering our queries. The service before and on the day itself was very personal and all the staff were very helpful and made the day special. The format for organising the details for the day is easy to navigate and we had calls with the team to run through everything beforehand. On the day itself, the onsite team set up the venue with our decorations perfectly and the venue looked amazing. We had so many compliments from guests on the quality of the service and the food and drinks. The staff went above and beyond (in particular Arthur), saving us evening food and helping pack up all the stuff at the end of the evening. We would recommend to any couples looking for a fun, relaxed London wedding in a beautiful venue.

We cannot thank the team at Bread Street Kitchen enough, for all that they did to make our day so incredibly special. Everything, the food, the drinks and the service was beyond anything we could have imagined. We only wish we could do it all over again! They went above & beyond to ensure we, along with our friends & family enjoyed every second. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so incredibly special, nothing was too much trouble and the day was absolutely seamless. The food was wonderful, but what really made it was the friendly, warm & engaging service from the team. It was a pleasure to have them as part of our day. We couldn't reccommend Bread Street Kitchen enough for a wedding - it's the perfect venue!

Just want to send a huge thanks to the team at 1 Lombard Street for making our wedding day so amazing. From the staff to the food to the venue itself, our guests were so impressed and I have received so many compliments since the wedding about how fab the day was. The team are amazing and so calm and helpful even at the most stressful times. I would 100% recommend this venue - it was just perfect for our wedding!

From start to finish, they were wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble for them! The venue is beautiful and the team did everything perfectly to the letter. Whenever we raised that something needed to be adjusted they were quick to handle everything. Charlotte even made sure that both my husband and I had our desserts as we wandered outside to more pictures whilst our guests were having dessert. Gabi and Tuesday were wonderful in sorting everything out and Charlotte was great in ensuring we were well informed of timings and making sure we knew where we were! I couldn’t recommend them enough for food and drink, we had so many compliments on the food! I am coeliac and asked if all my food could be made gluten free, they went one step above that and ensured everything (barring one dish that couldn’t be gluten free) was entirely gluten free, so I could eat anything with no worry of cross contamination. There was so much right, it would take a novel to say everything. In my opinion, there would be no mistake in booking The Fable for your wedding.

From the moment we saw Balfour, Ella and the team were brilliant. The planning sessions and email exchanges meant we had complete confidence in everything that was happening, and Ella was so flexible to accommodate what we wanted from a range of food options, drinks (particularly alcohol free) and bringing in accessories and entertainment. On all of it they made it just work and Ella was personally amazing at helping us work through it all. The venue itself was exactly what we wanted. A fun location in central London that was exactly the right size for our 75 guests. It came with the lights and set up that meant it felt very cozy and the team did a brilliant job putting out our decorations. The upstairs area meant it felt roomy but also intimate enough for the size of our wedding. Overall we are so glad we chose Balfour St Bart’s - they did a superb job making our day what we wanted.

Stem and Stem did the flowers and wedding reception meal for my wife and I recently. They were a pleasure to deal with on both the run up to and on the day. The flowers were lovely and we received many compliments on them. We spoke to Joy in relation to the menu and we loved the canapes, XL scallops and halibut. This was Michelin level dining - the chefs really know what they are doing back there.

We hosted our wedding reception at Smiths of Smithfield in September. From the moment we booked our wedding, we had the amazing help of Mike and the team, who walked us through every step and were extremely flexible and considerate of our wishes. Prior to the wedding, we spent time at Smiths having a complimentary tasting and an appointment with the sommelier, Christina, who adapted the wine selection to suit our preferences and was incredibly knowledgable. We always felt like we were in safe hands with the Smiths team and it has become one of our favourite London venues - not only because of our wedding, but also because it is a genuinely incredible restaurant and bar. We had our wedding across two floors: the terrace and the grill. Both rooms are perfect for a wedding and the London skyline was an amazing setting. The food was incredible and many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding food they have ever eaten. The venue staff and chefs on the day went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day. We were delayed by traffic in central and the team seamlessly moved the schedule by 1 hour. In the evening, we hired WeRDJs (recommended by Smiths) who did a brilliant job. It genuinely was the most perfect day and we're so grateful to the Smiths team for everything. We also can't wait to come back to celebrate our anniversaries. Thank you so much Mike, Stan, Christina and the wider team - you guys are the best!!

Gabi and team were superb: friendly, efficient, creative and flexible, meaning that our entire planning process (and of course the day itself) was smooth and stress free, meaning we could relax and enjoy ourselves. And of course the venue itself is stunning and so unique, so many ot our guests commented that they had never seen a wedding like it. Thank you again!

Gabi what can I say, you were another level amazing helping to arrange our wedding, your absolutely know what you are doing, executed the whole day to perfection and it was epic. Also you are just lovely. Your staff at the venue were all great, massive thank you!

We were thrilled with the space that Harrild and Sons offered, unfortunately it was simply too small. However, my fiance and I left the meeting doing mental gymnastics trying to find a way to make it work because Anj was so amazing. She was so prepared, professional, and kind. She is the type of person I would trust to make sure my wedding went off without a hitch.
