N&I Sent on 28/07/2025Brunel Museum - A one-of-a-kind wedding venue run by an amazing team
We got married at the Brunel Museum in July 2025. The museum is a beautiful and unique site - where else can one get married in a tunnel shaft? The breadth of areas (Tunnel Shaft, Piazza, Roof Garden, Engine Room), deep history, and proximity to public transport and the River Thames make this both a fantastically interesting, versatile, and practical wedding venue.
Alicja and all the staff at the Museum were excellent right from start to finish, all going above and beyond to give personalised, considerate, imaginative and professional support and service to us. We can't state in words how brilliant our experience with them was - it made planning, organisation, set up and execution of the day all seamless. A huge heartfelt thank you to the whole team for all their hard work and kind words and actions.
We would highly recommend this venue for anybody looking for a unique, interesting and beautiful venue supported by an amazing team of fantastic human beings. -

We recently had our wedding at the Brunel Museum in May and it was truly unforgettable! From start to finish, the team exceeded our expectations. Our organizer, Alicja, was incredibly efficient and ensured that every detail was taken care of. The entire Brunel team worked seamlessly together on our big day, making everything run smoothly and stress-free.
The venue itself is a hidden gem – original, historic, and a treat for our guests. The garden is particularly beautiful at this time of year and provided a beautiful backdrop for photos. Our guests raved about the space (I mean, come on! How many people get married in a Victorian Tunnel!) and we loved watching them discover its charm.
We couldn't recommend The Brunel Museum more highly. If you're looking for a venue that will provide a memorable experience for you and your guests, look no further. Thank you to the entire team for making our wedding day so special! -

Brilliant from day 1! Really helpful and responsive to all emails. Such lovely people to work with and help navigate the process.
The Brunel is a wonderful alternative venue with multiple beautiful layers - the dramatic tunnel shaft to the magical roof garden. It is a space that doesn't need much decoration if you don't want to however also allows for personalisation if you want.
Also, we highly recommend the Midnight Apothecary which is their partner drinks provider - there were so many compliments on the cocktails they served. -

Amazing Venue and Amazing Party
We had our 10 year anniversary at the Brunel Museum and it was a once in a lifetime party! The venue is so amazing, the staff were superb and the drinks from the Midnight Apothecary were beautiful and tasty! Love the place as a museum and a party venue! -

Quirky, unique venue with friendly and supportive staff
The Brunel Museum is great for those looking for a small, quirky, DIY wedding venue which is soaked in history and industrial, Victoriana charm. The different areas of the Museum including the shaft, piazza, engine house and roof garden make for a varied, fun venue - in which guests aren't just couped up in one area.
As this is more of a DIY venue, do be prepared to go the extra mile in the prep. Although, we found all the staff to be incredibly helpful and very willing to accommodate and support with everything. We used Midnight Apothecary (affiliated with the Museum) for our drinks - which were great, and we would definitely recommend! Our guests loved the cocktails on the roof garden. We also worked with Ben - a lighting engineer also affiliated with the Museum - who helped us to create an amazing atmosphere in the shaft for our ceremony.
The venue is also located in a beautiful part of London by the South bank of the Thames and surrounded by cobbled streets. It makes for beautiful photos. We would recommend a Summer wedding here as the roof garden and piazza are great spaces, which could be tricky to use in the rain. It is also easily accessible via taxi, Jubilee Line and the London Overground.
We had a superb day, and if you are looking for a unique, historic and DIY wedding then we are sure you will also have a fantastic wedding day too! -

Beautiful relaxed, versatile venue by the river
As soon as we visited the Brunel museum we knew it was the exact place we wanted to get married. It's a beautiful, historical venue in the heart of London and yet at the same time so incredibly informal, friendly, and intimate - exactly what we wanted for a relaxed celebration with friends and family. Alicja's coordination services at the museum are highly recommended as she helped provide recommendations and liaise between all the required suppliers in advance, always with extremely rapid communication and plenty of help when we needed it. On the day, both Alicja and Letizia were amazing hosts and ran everything smoothly behind the scenes. We loved the versatility of the space, from the atmospheric ceremony in the tunnel shaft, cocktails in the roof garden, casual dining on the terrace, to dancing the night away back in the shaft. We really couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, thank you! -

Davide Sent on 07/05/2023Excellent from start to finish
Where do we start? An excellent experience from the first contact to the big day. We can't praise Alicja, (the wedding coordinator at the museum), enough for all her support. She listened to our ideas and liaised with the caterers, photographer and everyone else involved to make sure everything went smoothly on the day. Her flexibility and availability meant we were able to work around having the wedding on the same day of the London Marathon and the disruptions that came with that! Did we mention the spectacular venue? The Tunnel Shaft fully decorated looked amazing and our guests can't stop talking about the place. The British weather didn't collaborate on the day so we didn't use the rooftop garden much but we still managed to get some lovely group photos taken there. We would recommend the Brunel Museum to anyone looking for a quirky location and we definitely recommend having Alicja coordinating the event as she is excellent at what she does and would take away the stress on the big day. -

Perfect location for a London wedding
Alicja and the team couldn't do enough for us! We were overwhelmed with their kindness and support through the planning process for our non-trad civil ceremony. They worked through all the logistics for moving our 100 guests around their fabulous space. The result was an intimate, personal, beautifully curated day that went off without a hitch. It was the perfect day, in large part due to the fab venue as a backdrop and the hard work of the Brunel team.Brunel Museum's reply:
Dear Lydia,
We are most grateful for the opportunity to host this beautiful event with such a wonderful crowd and atmosphere!
All the very best,
Brunel team -
