Hattie Sent on 19/08/2026Exceeded all of our expectations for our evening wedding venue!
We could not recommend The Bedford more as an evening wedding venue and honeymoon suite stay! From start the finish they were reliable, professional and exceeded all of our expectations. We got in touch with them pretty last minute as we needed an evening venue for our wedding (from 8pm onwards), and we were so relieved by Anne's quick responses and the incredible Ballroom upstairs. It was just what we needed for our 120 guests to dance to a live band, and help themselves to pizza (which was absolutely delicious!) There was plenty of space for everyone, and the team at The Bedford had put so much thought into table layout / decorations. There was also aircon (essential during a heatwave) and disco lighting already set up. We were amazed by how much pizza kept coming out - we didn't need to be worried about people having enough evening food at all. And it was all organised so seamlessly, with Anne and the team on hand throughout.
It was such a bonus to know we could also stay at The Bedford - it was dreamy not having to get a taxi anywhere! They gave us early access to our room which logistically helped out a lot, and it meant we could store a lot of wedding stuff there. The bath in the room was so fun and we had the best stay.
Overall, this is a fantastic London wedding venue - it's incredible value for money and so reassuring working with a venue that clearly know what they're doing and are wedding experts! Big thank you to The Bedford for making our 'boogie in the ballroom' dreams come true! -

Tj Hollis Sent on 04/08/2026Superb Venue and Team
We got married at the Bedford in May '26 and it was a wonderful day.
Anne and the team made it really easy for us and were extremely flexible. The food was great, and everyone had a fantastic time - the space is great for a party!
Also, comparing this venue to others in London, the value is night and day - meaning you can put more money where it matters for guests.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone who wants a great party, with great food and drink, supported by a fantastic team (so there isn't any stress!). -

Best London wedding venue!!!
We hired this venue for our wedding, including our welcome meal the night before, the morning preparations, the ceremony, wedding breakfast, and evening reception. Honestly, it was the most incredible venue, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice.
The upstairs space was absolutely perfect for getting ready on the morning of the wedding. It was so versatile, with plenty of different areas to use. We had the bridal party upstairs and the groomsmen downstairs, which worked perfectly. The rooms are bright, airy, and spacious, so no one ever felt cramped, and there were so many beautiful spots for photos.
Our ceremony took place in the stunning ballroom, which looked absolutely beautiful. Anne and the team set everything up exactly as we had requested. They also transformed the room and set up all of the tables for the wedding breakfast that morning, meaning we could enjoy a completely relaxed, stress-free morning without worrying about any of the logistics. They even coordinated everything, including the music, seamlessly.
The food was incredible. We had a tasting a few months before the wedding, and the team worked with us to create a menu that suited both our budget and what we wanted. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they were always happy to accommodate our requests.
The evening reception was just as amazing. The team worked with our DJ to make sure everything was set up and ready to go, and the ballroom created such an incredible atmosphere for the party.
Overall, 10/10. Anne and every member of the team, both in the lead-up to the wedding and on the day itself, were unbelievably attentive. They kept me updated throughout the planning process, were always happy to answer questions, and made everything run so smoothly on the day. We didn't have to ask our wedding party to help with anything because the team had everything completely under control.
We genuinely couldn't recommend this venue highly enough to any couple looking for a wedding venue in London. It exceeded all of our expectations and gave us the most perfect day. Thank you to Anne and the entire team for making our wedding so special. -

Exactly what we hoped for
We had the most fabulous time at The Bedford after our registry wedding. Anne was amazing at helping us plan the day, and her and The Bedford team were incredibly helpful on the day. It was great to find a pub that had such a versatile and accessible space, with amazing food and service. -

Laura Sent on 18/11/202510’s all round!
We decided very early on that we’d be having a lower key London wedding and booked the Bedford within a few weeks.
Becky looked after us from booking to the actual day and is so passionate and comes with some many ideas (a lot of them we hadn’t thought about). She was incredibly responsive but also kept things so simple and stress free.
The food was excellent and the portions were like you’d get in the pub downstairs! They were super flexible with the wine/drinks budget, replacing red with rosé. The staff serving were excellent and everyone felt so looked after. My parents were so impressed that they took the time to email head office to thank them and sing the praises of the staff!
The pub and the rooms upstairs are a great backdrop for photos too!
Becky understood really early on what we wanted from the day and made it happen. Would definitely recommend to a friend and we’ll be back for future events!

Claudia Sent on 18/11/2025The most brilliant London venue ❤️
The team at The Bedford gave us the most amazing day - we cannot thank them enough.
We knew we wanted a London pub wedding but we also knew we needed somewhere big enough to house a big number. The Bedford was the perfect place for this.
From our first planning meeting, we felt safe in the hands of Ethan, Becky, Nora and the team. They were so organised and knowledgeable, whilst also making everything feel straightforward. Nothing was ever a problem and they guided us through all the decisions and details with ease, making the planning process much more relaxed than we imagined it would be.
The day itself was wonderful. Ethan and his team made sure everything ran super smoothly - it wasn’t the slightest bit stressful for us or our closest friends and family who were supporting us on the day.
We chose a family style buffet for the food and everybody loved it. They also loved that we had access to so many different spaces throughout the day. Everyone particularly loved the theatrical feel of the Club Room, where we had our ceremony.
We used The Bedford’s recommended suppliers for photos, flowers and music - all of which were wonderful.
Thanks to this fantastic venue and team, we truly had the best day of our lives. -

Gemma Sent on 13/10/2025The place that saved our wedding!
After another venue was constantly letting us down, we went to the Bedford in June in a panic. We were unsure if they could help us on such short notice and, not only did they did, they absolutely blew us away! Imagine sensational pie & mash for the wedding breakfast, a wonderful team who went above and beyond on everything, and the perfect cosy vibe for an incredible reception.
I can't thank them enough for everything they did for us - they really made us feel special and well looked after. I had to be dragged to bed at the end of the night because all I wanted to do was drunkenly hug them and say thank you.
CANNOT. RECOMMEND. ENOUGH.The Bedford's reply:
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re truly honoured to have been part of your special day, and we’re thrilled that everything came together just as you hoped. Your kind words mean the world to our team. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!! -
