Jane S. Married on 20/11/2021Beautiful wedding venue with an amazing team
The RSA is more than one venue, we had the whole building exclusively for our November wedding and having access to such a variety of rooms was simply fantatsic. All of our guests loved the venue - from the beautiful Benjamin Franklin room for the ceremony, the airy Tavern room for drinks, the impressive Great Hall for the wedding breakfast to the party in the Vaults. We could not fault it. The food was amazing, a huge credit to Darren for creating restaurant worthy food for 80 plus people. Throughout the whole process Silvia has been wonderfully supportive, it is not easy to plan and re-plan a wedding during Covid but we felt that the whole team at RSA was on our side working with us and helping us to navigate the new normal. Olivia and Silvia are superstars and made the process stress-free. Everyone at RSA who was there on the day were utter professionals and so helpful to our guests, they made the whole day such a joy. In the words of one of our guests "everyone should have their wedding at the RSA" -

Sherifa B. Married on 07/08/2021Perfect venue for a London wedding
I do not even know where to start. Olivia, Laura and the team at RSA House are indescribable. Absolute professionals but also warm and wonderful people.
Olivia got us through the pandemic, the shifting of dates and is having to completely change the structure of our wedding. Her patience and kindness throughout the whole process was incredible. It felt like we were her only couple because she was so on it and across every detail. It was a shame she was on holiday for our big day but Laura was incredible. Dealing with any hiccups without me even knowing, it was all amazing and without them, I would not have had the best day of my life.
RSA House is a stunning venue and honestly perfect for anyone who wants a London wedding all in one place. The character and charm was unlike any other venue that we saw- it was perfect. Also, the RSA is a charity and that, for us, was the cherry on top.
A huge thank you to every single person involved in making our day happen. It was incredible ❤️❤️ -

Davies Married on 19/06/2021Great Wedding Venue, Staff and Food
We know it hasn't been easy with the pandemic, but RSA made planning the wedding seem so flawless and smooth, especially at a time where we had to change venues and there was so much uncertainty in what was to become of our special day. We hardly had to worry about anything on your side of things! They were so on point with communication it never felt that we had to wait too long for a reply or update.
Staff at the venue were great, from greeting all the guests, following the COVID rules to keeping us updated on what was going on next and being so calm and collected. We loved the venue from when we saw the pictures and even more when we had a chance to visit in person. We know that although we were only allowed to have an intimate wedding, the venue didn't feel too big for us. The timing of the day was slick and didn't feel like we were lingering around for too long.
The food was lovely, tasty selection of canapés just enough not to fill us up for the great dinner that we were looking forward to later that evening. The worry that we didn't have a food tasting session beforehand went out of the window once the food started coming through, we had really positive feedback and the drinks kept on flowing! -

Rosey O. Married on 26/09/2020An utterly perfect London wedding venue
We were so happy to get married at the RSA House. It is a beautiful venue - tucked just away from the Strand - and providing the most beautiful spaces to get married in and enjoy your day. Our original wedding date was in May, but with the Covid chaos we rescheduled for December. When in September, weddings were looking uncertain for the rest of the year, the amazing team at the RSA helped to make our wedding happen in 3.5 days. Throughout it all, the team were amazing - always there to talk to and providing support and ideas. On the day itself, everything was flawless - from the welcome from the staff on the door, to all the details and arrangements in the event planning - we honestly didn’t have to lift a finger on our wedding day, but just enjoy it! Our wedding food was also delicious - Darren and the kitchen team put on an incredible feast with plates that our guests still talk about. We honestly couldn’t recommend the venue more highly - Olivia and her team will ensure you have a day to remember. Thank you so much to everyone at the RSA house for ensuring that we had such a special day! Love, R and G -

Beth H. Married on 19/09/2020Amazing RSA House
RSA House is a fantastic venue for your wedding and the team there, especially Olivia, are wonderful. Our wedding had to be postponed twice due to Covid and they were flexible and understanding throughout. Having had our big day now, our guests have raved about the venue, the food and what a unique space it is. It's such a treat to have the entire venue to yourself for the day meaning we could get ready, have our ceremony, dinner and evening party all in one space. Couldn't recommend highly enough! -

Sophie W. Married on 19/09/2020The most beautiful covid-safe venue
We wanted to say again how amazing our day was and that we couldn’t have done it without you and the team. Thank you for being so great before and during the event, you guys had clearly worked so hard and planned every tiny detail.
All the best and thank you so much again for everything. -
Sonia N. Married on 09/12/2020
Lovely intimate wedding
We held our 15 person intimate wedding at RSA house. Olivia was extremely patient and flexible with our ever changing plans / ours concerns in relation to coronavirus and she provided us with comfort that RSA would help us in any way as government guidelines were constantly changing. We have heard of other venues not being so flexible so we really appreciate the comfort and support RSA were able to offer in such a strange and difficult time and we feel very lucky to have got married in December 2020. Olivia and her team arranged a gorgeous ceremony set up for us and were very accommodating and flexible to all of our guests on the day. We had a drinks and cake reception following the ceremony which allowed us to get some lovely pictures inside and outside of the venue. We had initially planned to hold a dinner at the venue, however we found this slightly too expensive for a 15 person wedding (eg cost of flowers, additional venue and staff hire) so opted for a nearby restaurant instead. We had a incredible day and we would like to say a massive thank you to Olivia and her team for helping us get our 2020 wedding!-
