Emilie Sent on 23/02/2025A perfect venue for a South London wedding!
We were so happy when we came across The Bedford as it ticked all of our boxes - we had been looking for a venue in South London which we could afford, which would be willing to host us on New Year's Eve, and which would be big enough for us to have 100 guests for sit-down dinner and a ceilidh. The Bedford was reasonably priced for the quality of service they offered, compared to most other places we viewed.
We also found that the staff there were very friendly, professional and responsive, and showed a great of flexibility - they were always willing to go the extra mile to help us make the logistics a bit easier.
All of this would have been enough to make it an ideal venue for us, but on top of everything else, the building has a lovely atmosphere, with very little decoration required on our part to make it feel festive and welcoming, and they served excellent food - all our guests have been telling us since the wedding how much they loved it!
All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our wedding - everything was top notch, from the convenience of the location, to the atmosphere and size of the ballroom/ cocktail bar, and the quality of the service and the food. We would highly recommend it to other couples! -

Honestly, the value for money in this stunning pub is amazing. The rooms were beautiful and super handy if you've got any guests travelling. Plus, it's licenced, so you can have the whole night before, morning, ceremony, breakfast, reception and night under one (beautiful) roof.
The staff were so brilliant and really help you tailor the day how you like, so it's super flexible. The food was excellent (unlike some other, more supposedly 'fancy' weddings I've attended before) and everything was very seamless.
We had multiple meeting, tastings, email exchanges in the run up so I felt very prepared and looked after.
Genuinely, if you're looking for a London wedding with great transport links, lovely atmosphere, good food and drinks, and a great staff it's a winner.

The Bedford team are fantastic, I feel like our wedding was expertly planned. None of my weird and wonderful ideas I threw at Nora was too much and trust me, I had quite a few. The day itself was perfect. The only hitch we had was the Makeup artist was late which set us back, However Ethan took it in his stride I managed to get us back on track. Everything else about the day went off without a hitch due to thorough planning and incredibly hard-working staff. The building itself is beautiful, The rooms have character and quirks. It has this bougie vibe with history in its walls. The food is incredible, Home-cooked and proper portions. We set our tables in a banquet style and had Sharing food boards for each table. It felt so grand, but yet intimate.
I can’t thank the Bedford team enough for everything they done before and during our wedding. -

Beckydee Sent on 04/02/2025Better wedding venue than I ever could've imagine!
We wanted a big fun and party feeling for our wedding and The Bedford delivered just that. Getting legally married in the club room underneath the disco ball was so different to any other wedding we've been to and our guests loved it. The staff were brilliant, particularly Becky who was our coordinator throughout the process and on the day. She went above and beyond helping us set up and ran the day seamlessly. Using the cocktail bar and the ballroom for the rest of the day and evenings festivities was a great use of space and it was so handy everything close together as well as the bar in the same room as the dance floor which was a necessity for me. The pub isn't just a pub, it's a fantastic event space with great decor, food and staff. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a London wedding! -

Absolutely amazing, the best place for our best day
As soon as we had our initial meeting with The Bedford we knew we were in safe hands.
Anne and the rest of the team could not have been more kind and helpful throughout every step of planning and executing our wedding (particularly with handling several last minute/nervy emails and requests in the final run up to the big day). It is the most wonderful and unique space (with so many options for different rooms you can use), giving such a fantastic and fun atmosphere.
We could not be more grateful and happy about how it all went; we wanted a more lowkey/relaxed but fun day, and The Bedford was the perfect place for this. We practically had to drag most of our guests off the dancefloor at the end of the night! as everyone was having too much fun!
We absolutely loved it and I can't recommend The Bedford highly enough. -

Penny Sent on 18/11/2023Perfect venue, perfect day
As soon as we visited The Bedford, we knew it was the venue for us. It had everything we had been looking for - ceremony and reception in one venue, late licence, great London location and hotel rooms - and all the spaces are so unique and beautifully decorated. The fact that it's a minimum spend, rather than paying a flat hire charge, was also very appealing and a model that more venues should use. Anne and the team were fantastic throughout and made the whole process stress-free, which considering we set the date only three months before the wedding was very welcome! The day itself was perfect. The team are clearly very experienced and managed the whole day so slickly and professionally, and were so friendly throughout. The food was absolutely delicious and so many of our guests complimented it, including a professional chef. The hotel rooms are also lovely. The main pub area was a great space for those staying the night before to have dinner and drinks and then have breakfast the morning after the wedding. It was the perfect day and we are so happy we chose The Bedford. We can't thank you enough! -
