Stef Sent on 12/05/2025Best day ever!!
We hosted out wedding reception at The Bedford, staying there the night before and night of, which was a fantastic addition for us and the bridal party!
We were set up in the saloon bar the night before for welcome drinks/dinner which was a fantastic touch – if was great to have a private space to catch up with everyone as they arrived into London! The bar staff were absolutely brilliant and very accommodating (as they were throughout the remainder of the weekend!).
After a hectic morning before jumping in a cab to our wedding ceremony, I was a little worried that it had set the tone for the rest of the day but I really hadn’t of worried as Becky, our inhouse event coordinator, and team, absolutely smashed it out of the park! I felt at ease as soon we stepped back into The Bedford knowing that our wedding was in safe and professional hands.
The wedding breakfast set up was absolutely incredible! Being a DIY bride with control freak tendencies, I was nervous to hand over the reins but WOW!! We were truly blown away when we entered the room, The Bedford did a spectacular job and really brought our vision to life!
We always knew that The Bedford was the right venue for us but nothing had prepared us for how much we would love it! The set up (and tidy up), the organising of suppliers, the food!! Everything was spot on and we couldn’t have asked for more!! The day ran like clockwork which meant we could be present with our guests, let our hair down and really enjoy the day. We were told to remember that we were not the hosts of the wedding but instead the guests of honour and that’s exactly how we felt all day thanks to The Bedford teams hard work!!
Becky was our wedding coordinator extraordinaire and we couldn’t have done it without her and her brilliant team!! It really was the best day ever!!!
The Bedford's reply:
Stef and Matt, thank you for our amazing review and we wish you both a lifetime of love, laughter and happiness.
All the best
The Bedford Team. -

Kelly Sent on 02/06/2025The wedding Avengers who made our day perfect!
Becky and her team were truly the Avengers of the wedding world. Even though we had been planning for a year, on the big day I couldn’t think of anything — but Becky and her team handled everything from start to finish, guiding, supporting, and taking care of every detail. They constantly kept me updated and reassured me, even when I wasn’t around, making sure everything was running smoothly and that our guests were enjoying themselves. From the ceremony to the evening party, everything was perfectly organized, allowing me to simply enjoy every moment without any stress. The setup was even more beautiful than I had imagined. All of our guests also couldn’t stop complimenting how amazing the food was. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Becky and her amazing team. I’m incredibly grateful to them for making our day so perfect.
The Bedford's reply:
Thank you for your review. It was an honour to be a part of your story and meet you friends and family. Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter and happiness. -

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! -

Rebecca Sent on 04/03/2025Perfect City Wedding
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. -
